Valuable Themselves, as Are Also
Their ByprOducts.
The preparation Of oil from aquatic
animals for both medicinal and tech
nical purposes Is of great Importance.
The principal oil producers are the
whales, porpoises, blackfish. seals, wal
rus, menhaden, herring, cod, haddock.
pollock, hake, cusk, ling, shark, dogfish,
alligator and turtle.
Various subsidiary products are OBJ
tanned from these aquatic oils and
form n source Of considerable profit to
the refiner. Among the more important
of these products may be noted the
following:
At low temperature there may be
separated from all varieties Of aquatic
oils solid fat or grease known as
"foots" or "stearin" which Is somewhat
similar to the tallow obtained from
sheep and oxen. 1t is used as substi-
tute for tallow from sheep and oxen
In sizing yarns, as emollient in leather
dressing. etc. By bleaching the oils a
semisolid fat known as ''sperm soap"
.'whale SOAP" "menhaden SOAP" etc,
according to the variety of oil treated.
is produced. This material is used In
smearing sheep, washing fruit trees,
soap manufacture, etc. By refining
sperm oil spermaceti is obtained, and
this Is used principally In candle max

poses. for producing polish on linen
In laundering and for self lubricating

Turner, the naturalist, declares that
he once saw upon the coast of Brazil
race of gigantic savages whose av-
erage height was over ten feet, some
individuals exceeding twelve and half
feet. NJ. Thevet Of France in his de-
scription of America, which was pub
lishcd in Paris in 1915, says that he
was once present when the skeleton Of
n South American savage eleven feet
and two inches in height was disin-
tered. The Chinese have Il record of
several giants between twelve and six
teen feet in height which have lived in
the Flowcry Kingdom within the last
800 years. Joscphus mentions Jew
who was ten feet two inches, and
Pliny was well acquainted with Ga
bath the Arabian giant, who was nine
feet nine inches In height. Coming
down to modern times, we find that
John Middleton, who lived In the time
of James l., was nine feet three inches
and had hand seventeen inches long
by eight and half broad. Murphy,
one of the celebrated trio Of Irish
giants Charles Byrne and O'Brien be-
ing the other two, was eight feet ten
inches and O'Brien two inches taller.

THE DOG DAYS.
In the Course of Time Sirius Nay
Rise In MidwinteR.

In the Course of Time Sirius May
Rise In MidwinteF.
Dog days begin, according to the ira
ditions of boyhood In certain parts Of
the United States, when the green
scum, algae, begins to appear on the
surface of the lakes and rivers. Then
1t is supposed to be unsafe to go In
swimming. And 1t Is then that ac-
cording to the tradition of many adults
as well as of boys, dogs most frequent
ly go mad. All nations and races Of
civilization apparently have had pc
riod during the summer known as dog
days when many maladies were sup
posed to be common. But the madness
of dogs, hydrophobia, was never associ-
ated with dog days by the ancients.
Dog days are rather indefinite Pc
riod. according to this green scum rule,
but there is n disagreement of authori-
ties as to when dog days really do be-
gin and end. According to the diction-
ary, dog days are part of the year
about the time Of the heliacal rising Of
the dog star, Sirius'-that Is, when the
dog star rises in conjunction with the
sun or as nearly In conjunction as may
be observed. Various dates from July
3 TO Aug. Is have been assigned for
the beginning of dog days, and they
are given various durations of from
thirty to fifty days.
1t seems to have been from the helia-
cal rising of Sirius that the ancients
most commonly reckoned the dog days
Thus ut the present time dog days
would begin July 3 and will end Aug.
II. Sirius Is the brightest star In the
heavens, and 1t was easy to associate
the mutual heat of the brightest star
and of the sun with the hottest and
most unkindly period Of the year. Hip
pocrates (450 B. c. declared the dog
days to be the most unhealthy part Of
the summer.
Dog days are continually dropping
farther back In the calendar. Now
they are twelve days behind the sched-
ule to which they held in the period of
the pharaohs In time Sirius may rise
in the dead Of winter The Egyptians
maintained that the first indication of
the rise of the Nile took place on the
morning Of the longest day, when, as
they said, the sun and Sothls (Sirius)
rose together. They attributed the rise
Of the river entirely to the great heat
generated by this star in conjunction
with the sun.
Sirius Is situated in the mouth Of the
constellation CAMS Major (the great

which was known among the Egyp-
tians and Ethiopians. 1t was computed
from one heliacal rising of Sirius to
the next and consisted ordinarily of
865 days, every fourth year having 388
days.-Cbicago News.
