GLOVES OF WHALE HIDE.

Attempt to Find Profitable Use For a
Wasted Product.
Newfoundland whalers, seized with 4
spirit of enterprising economy. are re
ported to be attempting to place whale
hide on the market for the manufac-
ture of whale leather, says the London
Express.
Ii is not surprising that such an at
tempt should be made. 1t must veX

From a large right whale of, say,
forty to fifty feet in length about
2JO barrels of oil and one and three
quarter tons Of baleen, or whalebone,
may lie obtained. The remainder of
the gigantic carcass, which may be as
much US fifty tons, has hitherto been
considered useless.
The average whale hide if laid out
on the ground would cover a surface
of nearly 1,5O0 square feet, at which
rate Que whale if its hide could be

1t is also hoped that the intestines
of the whale will be made remunera-

whale for glove making, London

satisfactory skin yet found for fine

"It IS not unlikely however" they
said. that whale intestines could he

AT various times many4skins have
