other rare game animals which are

ter, a resident of the region declares,
fully forty per cent. OF the large

az soon az the harpoon had pierced It
Tests on the beach showed that the
rocket had a range of 120 yards, but
for some reason presumably because
1t was less convenient and less accur'
ate than a swivel gum, it was never
poular with the whalemen.
OF course in this fishery, as in the
others, the adoption of improved wea.
pons did but shorten the life of the
industry. No record was ever made
OF the number of whales killed in Mag
dalena Bay and on the other breeding
GROUNDS of the coast of Mexico, but
1t has been authoritatively estimated
that at the shore stations at least TO-
500 whales were taken In the course
of twenty years after the first one was
established. If one considers the num-
Der known to haunt the coast during
the migrations. the annual kill was
seemingly insignificant; that is, it
might seem so. at first thought, for on
the average the number was less than
l per cent of the migrants.
But this usual toll, together with
the slaughter on the breeding grounds,
was more than enough to destroy the
balance of nature. Indeed, it is like
ly that the annual increase was no
more than enough to preserve the
numbers of the schools in the pres
ence of the natural causes of death,
before the whalemen began the slaugh-
ter, and that the invasion OF the
breeding grounds was of itself enough
to exterminate the race.
That the race was not destroyed
was due to the depression in the oil
market. The gray whales did not
yield valuable bone, and as the price
of oil fell (after kerosene came into
use), the Americans abandoned the
fishery, leaving it to men from the
Azores, who were content as long as
they were able to secure = score or
so of whales of various KINDS in the
course of a year.-From the New York
Post.

CARGO STEAMERS NOVEL RIG.
Fitted with Four Derrick Masts Set
in Pairs Ranging Athwartships.

There appeared in the East River
the other day steamer having four
masts which were set not ranging fore
and aft in line amidships, as masts
commonly are but in pairs, one pair
forward and the other aft, and with
the pairs as thus set ranging athwart-
ships, making strange looking rig.
to be derrick masts such as many
steamers carry, only differently plac-
ed.
This steamer was the Norwegian
tramp Pollux, a vessel 257 feet in
length and of a cargo capacity Of
about 1000 tons. For a vessel of her
size she has unusually large matches,
designed to take in engines or ma
chinery or other large pieces Of freight
She has one such hatch aft and anoth-
er forward, and forward of the latter
another smaller hatch.
The after pair of derrick masts rise
from the two forward corners of the
big forward hatch, and between that
and the hatch further forward. The
masts are supported by stays running
down from the mastheads of each pair
to the sides of the vessel, and each
pair to the sides of the vessel, and
each pair as brace running across
from masthead to masthead.
Up the inboard side of each must
are set step irons by which the mast
head can be reached. The masts,
which are sixty-five feet in height, and
their booms are all of steel. There
is an Independent winch for each
mast.
Steamers with their derrick masts
so placed are rare. The owners of
this vessel, which is about three years
old, have another steamer of the same
dimensions, built at the same time and
similarly rugged, this sister ship being
now trading in Chinese waters. An
officer of the Pollux said that there
are two larger steamers of recent con-
struction, one Swedish and the 9TH
er a German vessel, each having sew
en- or eight derrick masts, which are
not stepped in line amidships, but
ranging in two lines nearer the sides.

PORTLAND CEMENT INDUSTRY.
Last Years Total Output Approxim-
ateIy $4,000, 900 Barrels.

The Portland cement producers of
the United States have replied so
promptly to the statistical inquiries
addressed TO them by the United
States Geological Survey that it is
now possible to make a very close
estimate of the Portland cement pro-
duction for the calendar year 1907.
Edwin c. Eckel, who is in charge OF
the statistical work on cement for
the survey, as accordingly prepared
the following statement:
Returns have been received from
eighty-seven plants, representing over
95 per cent. OF the Portland cement
production of the United States. AS
the ten plants which have not yet
replied include two large producers,
1t is possible to make fairly accur-
ate estimate of the total cement pro-
duction of 1907. The returns so far
received indicate that the total out
put of Portland cement in the United
States during the calendar year 1907
was approximately 100000 barrels.
This should be compared with an out
put OF 46,463,424 barrels in 1906, and
Of 95,246,S12 barrels in 1905.
Though the production of 1907
shows an increase over that of 1906,
Il is slight as compared with the past
annual gains in the cement industry,
indicating that the Portland cement
production Of the United States has
now reached a stage in its develop
ment where 1t is directly and prompt
ly affected by general business de-
preston. This fact was predicted IN
the surveys cement report for 1906.
