 Port-au-Basaues, N. F., July S.-No' tbe least of the triumphs of modern scientific methods in mans utilization of natural resources Is forecast in the brief announcement just receiveo rom the Balena whale fisheries to the enec' that Professor Muller has succeeded Tn domesticating herd or nfty suiphui bottom COW whales and has perfecteo an npparatus for milking the mammoth cetaceans.
 The yield of milk from full-grown whale ., from five to seven hogsheads a day. The milk Is fresh and sweet ana peculiarly rich in nutritfve ana medl- cine qualities. It Is much thicker and richer than the best Jersey milk and possesses a peculiarly pleasant ana dis- tinctive flavor which those who nave tasted 1t pronounce superior 10 any known product of the lacteal varie,y Chemical analysis has shown that the milk of the sulphur-bottom which Is rich in those same fats and proteids which give to cod-liver oil It's value as a remedial food.
 Professor Muller's experiments with whales, which have been carried on Tn comparative secrecy for several years. have resulted in many remarkable dis coveries in the line of utilizing the diff ferent parts of the huge carcasses which have hitherto gone to waste.
 He has devised process for curing and preserving the tons of meat which has always been considered worse than valueIess, This meat, which compares fayorably in texture and flavor with the average beef, will soon be put upon the market The company has assiir- ances that 1t will find ready sale in the West Indian islands and other tropical countries which now depend for their meat supply on the South American jerked beef
 Professor Muller has invented and patented a process for making leather from the intestlnes, pleural sacks, heart coverings and other internal mem hranes of the whale. which, when tanned and finished is of greater dura- bility and finer texture than any known leather. Besides its superior quality, the whale leather furnishes single pieces of much greater dimensions than 1t Is possible to procure from any other animal. It Is possible, according to inc inventor. to obtain from the in testines of a full grown sulphur-bottom a strip of leather nearly 300 rect m length and three and one-half feet in breadth. From the pleural lining a piece of leather twenty-five feet in diameter can be obtained.
 Inventor Studies Whales.
 Processes for grinding the mammoth skeIetons into bone meal for fertilizer and of converting the gristle and car tIIage into glue aid like products are among the minor inventions of the ex- pert, who has secluded himself for the mast five year. at the little fishlng vil- jace and turned his attention to the study of whales.
 But bv far the greatest triumph yct attained bv the erudite professor Hes In inc domCstication of the cow whales Like all scientific men, Professor Null Ter would rather conserve than destroy.

 It Is impossible to give an adequate idea of the infinite care and patience which 1t has required to tame the whales. The whale. as every schooi- boy knows, Is warm-blooded animal of the mammalian group. more nearly
