A Popular Misconception of What This

Owing to a popular misconcepton this
substance. whose more appropriate name is
''baleen;" has been called ''bone," while it
really contains no bone whatever in its
composition. 1t resembles rather a number
of hardened hairs, cemented together by a
sort of gum. Chemically it consists of a
basis Of albumen, hardened by phosphate Of
lime, the latter, however, in very small
quantities 1t takes the place of teeth in

A full-grown Greenland whale yields
about ton of the substance. The whaling
vessels usually bring it in pieces of ten or
twelves blades each, but sometimes, if the
voyage is long the sailors have time to strip
off each blade and aivest it OF its hairs. In
preparing them for use the blades are
cleaned aud softened by boiling for about
two hours; while still hos they are fixed in
large wooden vices and shaged into the re-
Quired sizes.
These slices or stripes are dried smooth by
steel scrapers and polished with either
emery or dry quicklIme. Besides its origi,

there were S,544 hundred weight, of a value
of 1888, 900; while in 1877, though the
