buys porpoises, tries out their oil and
makes 1t into the extremely delicate

Mechanism OF peculiarly nice adjustment
should not be oiled with the mineral oils
which are really the ony ones now fur
nished by general manufacturers. These
lubricants stiffen with cold or become dry

only reliable oil for use on any delicately
adjusted mechanism is secured from por-
poises and blackfish.
Years ago black fish were rather plen-
tifuL Occasionally Immense schools OF them
came ashore on Cape Cod and were killed
by the hundred. But the black fish has
become rare indeed now and blackfish oil
is scarce and costly. Porpoises are now
the chief dependence OF Mr.. Stul for the
watch and clock supply.
In the top Of the head Of the porpoise
is a small cavity and In each Jaw bone
there is another. These yield the finest OF
the Oil. That from the top Of the head is
called the melon oil. From a full-sized por-
poise only half a PINT Of this best oil is OBJ

Inside the tent he sees the elephant curl
ing its trunk around tufts of hay and the
camel quietly munching its evening meal,
while around the first tent are arrange
the cages containing the rare and wonder
full collection. The real show he finds
is In the circus tent proper. There the
trick elephant goes through its tricks with
Intelligence almost human. Then the troupe
OF raine dogs do cunning and sagacious
things and keep the crowd In a roar by
their drollery. Next comes the high school
twenty-five announced as the most wonder
full ever trained. Finally come the trainers
of savage beasts who enter the dens and
poke their wards up to roaring fury.
After witnessing this entertainment his
mind runs TO the big Wild West show he
saw as he entered the grounds and he
wisely decides his trip would be incomplete
II he did not take this in, too. He is right.
In this wild west direct from Coney Island
he applauds above all else the remarkable
craftsmanship OF Princess Wenona who
pierces glass balls thrown In the air in
sets Of three and four. Even more skillful
than this is her feat OF breaking twenty
glass balls on a swinging frame in JUST
twenty shots, no more and no less. Princess
Wenona was one Of the features of the car
nival and her recognition was well de-
served. Then Of course. there is the lasso
throwing and the riding by clown and cow
boy Of the savage little donkeys that de-
fled all corners.
After this there is time for another
ramble down the Highway. There is Sc
reno, the wild man, who covers in his deep
den and growls savagely whenever his
keeper punches him In the ribs. There is
the octopus. the fierce monster OF the deep
that used TO overthrow ships and devour
sailors as a before breakfast diversion.

arms which he uses for walking while he
makes his deformed toes do the duty OF

them from pieces of am%bergris. 1t is prob
able that the bony beaks and other in
digestible parts of the squid irritate thu
stomach or the intestines of the whale
causing the secretion of a substance which
finally becomes ambergris.
This gradually increases in amount
blocking more and more the in~testines.
Finally the whale becomes so Ill that 1t
goes into the little bays or shallow water
along shore. This is the custom with sick
whales.
There they may be caught, or perhaps
they die and are washed ashore. If it
is a deserted coast the carcass may disin-
tegrate and finally be carried out to sea
again by a high tide and the ambergris
become separated from the rest Of the
body.
II am inclined to think that the whale
does not get rid OF the ambergris while
alive. Although some writer's speak OF
the whale vomiting It forth, 1 do not be-
lieve that happens, for in all cases OF
which I know anything the ambergris was
not found in the stomach. but In the ex-
tremity OF the intestinal tract"
Mr.. stull has earned his title OF amber
girls king by purchasing more OF the rare
substance than any other one man in the
world. But he does not buy ON his own
account. He acts as agent for the Paris
dealer who supplies ambergris to the great
French ~perfumers. He buys therefore on
commission.
Thefe is never a glut In the ambergris
market. The variation in price is due not
to any oversupply. but TO the difference in
tho quality OF the finds. Although the
whalers are so much more on the alert TO
discover the substance there is not a great
deal of II brought in for the simple reason
that the whaling industry has so fallen off.
It is picking up again, however. Several
whalers go out Of New Bedford now, and
II is to New Bedford that most of the
ambergris is brought. Mr.. stull runs up
there. names the price he will give and II
he gets IT, has the stuff locked up in a
safety deposit vault until he can commu-
nicate with his principal In Paris. There Is
another buyer IN New Bedford. but Mr..
Stull gets more ambergris "st first hands. -
as his card says, than anybody or indeed
everybody else.
So far nothing has been discovered
which will take the place OF ambergris as
a base in the manufacture OF perfumery.
II Is the best binder known. Dissolved in
alcohol It holds also In solution the va
