BlACkFlSH OIL.
Anew Bedford Product That Keeps
the Worlds Clocks GoinQ.

Few of those who read recently
OF the stranding of school OF black
ish on the Falmouth shore in Buzz
cards bay and OF their subsequent pur-
chase by William F.. Nye Of this city
had any idea OF what sort OF creatures
5lackfiesh were or what there is about
them that makes them valuable.
Blackfish oil is the finest in the
world for delicate mechanisms, such
as watches, clocks and chronometers.
and the monopoly in petroleum en-
ioyed by the Standard Oil isn't In II
for a moment with that enjoyed by
William +. Nye in the manufacture OF
watch oils. The watch of the conduc-
tor who has charge of the train across
the continent, the watch of the beard
ed official who controls the destinies or
the trains across the Siberian deserts
are oiled with oil made in New Bed
ford; while the same oil is used in
lubricating the mechanism Of the
clock in the Strasburg cathedral, the
necessary supply being furnished gra-
It's by Mr.. Nye in commemoration OF a
visit to that city some years ago.
Mr.. Nye makes blackfish oil, but the
credit for the discovery Of its super
lative merits belongs TO a Fairhaven
man, Ezra Kelley. A Provincetown
sailor saved some blackfsh oil free
from the oils of other species Of fish.
Ezra Kelley. a repairer of watches and
ships chronometers, tried ii and found
ii the best he had ever used. He be-
gan using it in chronometers brought
10 him for adjustment. The whale
ships carried these chronometers TO
foreign ports and there took them
ashore for adjustment. The repairer
noticed the excellent quality of the oil
and made inquiries. Mr.. Kelley sent
samples abroad and soon built up
considerable business. It remained.
however for Mr.. Nye to push the
trade into practically all the coun-
tries Of the world
Their is hardly a railroad in the
world but what has an account with
Mr. Nye. Every one has noticed the
bells at unprotected grade crossings
which signal the approach of train.
These bells are operated by delicate
mechanism, which of necessity is ex-
posed to extremes of heat and cold.
The best of oil is required TO keep
them in good condition, and that oil
is manufactured in New Bedford. At
the time Of the Centennial exposition
at Philadelphia Mr.. Nye offered a prize
of $1,000 to any one who would pro-
duce an oil other than fish oil that
would be the equal of fish oil. The
offer is still standing.-New Bedford

knowledge of geography is not ac-
quired solely from books or by travel.
The man who persists in buying land
from a distance comes to know his
country pretty thoroughly, but if he is
wise he quits before he gets very far.
Many Westerners who are buying land
in places about New York are learn
ing costly lessons in geography. I'm
scrupulous operators catch a surpris-
ing number of innocents, so strong is
the desire in some people to own real
estate.
A humble citizen of Illinois with a
few dollars to spare and hunger for
land recently received a most elabor-
ate and alluring prospectus setting
forth the suburban advantages of a
New Jersey town as place of resi-
dence for tired city workers and the
great speculative value of lots then
selling at twenty-five dollars each,
full size, twenty by one hundred feet.
A map showing the railroad connec-
tion between the town and New York
made the distance look very short.
After a pleasant evening spent in
absorbing the autographed bait, the
Illinois man forwarded a money-order
in payment for Lot No. 916,' a tidy
parcel close TO the depot, and yet in
the midst of what the diagram indicat-
ed to be the most desirable residential
section. This lot was one that would
advance to two hundred and fifty dol
lars before the end of the month" and
there was no telling where it would
go TO in years tins.
I've put a little money into a lot
Just across the river from New York"
said the investor to his cronies at the
village postoffice the day the deed ar
rived. Quite boom there, under
stand-fortunes being made every day.
I'm glad I'm in OH II. It's safern
stocks: no water to squeeze out of a
good house-lot."
His eager neighbors paused in their
questioning when the postmaster hand
ed a letter TO him from an old resi-.
dent OF the New Jersey town. The
Illinois man had chanced TO get his
name and address. and had written at
length to the stranger for Information.
but il was after he had sent his mon
ey. The letter from the old resident
read:

neighborhood, and when you build on

interest was aroused by the statement
that the London ballets are to be in

The recent panic recalls the fact
hat such financial spasms are nothing
new. having occurred from the earliest
financial record. John Adams, our
former president, said in his old age
that he could remember five money
pressures of great severity during
colonial times and they have contin-
ned ever since. Some of our older
citizens can remember the panic OF
1897. which followed a period marked
bv wide speculation and was felt FOR
several years. The panic of 1887 was
also due TO similar speculation and
many of the best houses i'm this city
went to ruin. Another panic oc-
curred i'm 1873 and then there were
the two black Fridays which wrought
such havoc i'm the stock exchange
through the wrecling power of jay
Gould.
The recent panic, like a" its PIE eIe-
cessors. arose from reckless imitation.

The Grand Central depot, which Is
now under demolition, is the last
achievement OF old Commodore Van
derbit. lie was for several years pro-
jecting It and lived 20 occupy the
presidential Office, which was finished
in the highest elegance. He was then
past four score, but still attended to
business, and many Of the older resi-
dents well remember seeing him there,
his tall form still erect and his eye
bright and keen, but he Iassed away.
Then William took his place, with his
boys. William K. and Cornelius, as
secretaries and general assistants, but
he did not reach the age Of his father
and he. too, is only memory. The
depot which the old commodore eX-
pected TO last forever will soon be
gone and his sole memorial is the
statue on the downtown freight house,
which is only melancholy reminder
OF past ambition.
