Canning Whale Meat.

So many species of animal life of
the sea have been canned that It is
not surprising that the largest of all
living and moving things, the whale,
Is being preserved for eating
purposes. The attempt to
populariZe it has started along those
countries which border upon the Pa
chic Ocean in the Northern Hemis.

years it will be sold in the market of
this city. Quite Il trade is already
being done in Japan, and reports from
there state that not only is the meat
very tender and palatable, but that it
resembles beef very closely. A
whaling company located at Victoria.
B. c., is endeavoTing to introduce
canned whale in Canada, the United
States and Europe, and have sent out
samples to prove their claim that the
whale has undoubted merits as a
food animal. Tons and tons of whale
meat are now used i'm the manufac-
ture of fertilizers, which are one of
the most valuable by-products of the
industry but as It takes three tons
of fish to make one of fertilizer n
handsome profit would be derived if
the meat were sold as food But

Photography nnd ana Moon.

1t has been observed that on ac-

the eye Of the observer is seriously

the moon travels round the earth the
eccentricity of IT'S orbit produces the

If You Are Lost In the Woods.

Let the man who is lost in the
woods be very careful not to overex-

In panic and oxer-exertion, and,

slowly. Two miles an hour. on an
average, through the snow in the
woods, is all that a man in his con-
dition will be able to stand without
overfatigue and its attendant dan
gers, overheating and perspiration

gains the road by the afternoon of

being afternoon, he must follow in
the direction taken by the last pass

opposite direction, as whoever made
the tracks must have come from the
place where he obtained shelter the
previous night.-Outing Magazine.
