Not one went through Bering straits this year, and only one last year.
 l think l am justified in saying that a great industry has passed away with the passing of the demand for whale oil. The vast natural oil wells. the re- fining plants and the making of all kinds of substitutes. including cotton seed oil, has given death blow to the business. Whale oil is no longer a necessity in either the arts or manufac- lures.
 In 1897 seven whalers were hcmmed in by the monster ick pack and nearly all were wrecked. They were not re- placed. From one to two have been lost every year since 1897, and their places are not being filled.
 The price of whalebene has increased the last few years 10 a marked degree. The old veteran whalemen. laid on the shelf there are no more crafts built for him to man. They are too costly and the risk is too great. The former gen erations who built and equipped the staunch whalers have nearly all passed away, but science and chemistry has yet failed to find a substitute for whale bone. The bowhead whale must be captured and his head dissected for the higb-priced article. But the rich must have it in it's varied forms--for costly whips, ladies' cOrsets, and for other purposes the offsprings of effete society the dandy and the dude must have it. For deficiencies in whom, nature failed to develop proper forms, this material is useful. The great black monster who inhabits the far north must be inter- cepted on his annual migration to and from his remote home.

TRIBUTE TO THE DOG
BY SENATOR VEST

One of the most eloquent tributes ever paid to the dog was delivered by Senator Vest of Missouri some years ago. He was attending court in a country town, and while waiting for the trial of a case in,which he was in- .terested was urged by the attorneys in dog case to help them. Voluminous evidence was introduced to show that the dog had been shot in malice, while other evidence ~entsto show that the dog had attacked defendant. Vest took part in the trial and was not disposed to speak. The attorneys, however, urged him to>speak. Being thus urged, he arose, scanned the face of each jury man for a moment, and said:
 "Gen,lemen of the jury: The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his en- emy. His son or laughter that he has sreared ~,ith loving care nay prove Gn- grateful.

 TN the year 1866 l sailed in the bark
 Ansel Gibbs, on my first whaling Il voyage, but,it was not my first sea
 voyage. We were bound for the ''money waters" north of Hudson bay in quest of any animal that yielded oil. from a seal, which would give up five gallons, to. the monster bowhead whale, yielding from ten barrels to 2j0. Oil was money those per gallon for sperm oil, and when a shipmaster mailed another from the quarter deck, the first question asked was: "How many barrels of oil have you goty'
 But now the question is: "How many pounds of bone have you got?" The oil does not pay for the costly containers that must be made by hard labor white oak casks--and this industry has almost passed away. The boring ma chimes has taken the place of the whale
 
 what tens of thousands of these white oak casks provided. The writer can remember when he could count fifty or more whalers of all sizes from the crows nest, some 'cutting" whale, some taking dead whale alongside, some chasing a line, and nearly all boiling and slowing down oil.
 The privateers of the south during the civil war, destroyed many of those ships, but they were replaced. The great ice-pack of the Arctic pushed 3l of them ashore between Icy cape and Point Barrow in one push. They were replaced also, for the human animal must have light at any cost. Nine more were destroyed in similar manner. In , 1886 this disaster stimulated the build ing of steam whalers, costing from $50, ,00O to $l20,0O) each. The old wind tanners also cost money: built of Fluri- da live oak, sheathed with hickory plank from three to four inches thick, from keel to water line, they had no superOrs in their time. They were copper fastened and built for lifetime.
