CONCERNING AMBERGRIS

as to its production is that ii Is the result Of
some disease in the sperm whale. analogous
to gallstones. Sometimes II Is found IN the

Bahama Islands but the Moluccas furnish

other parts of the Indian Ocean. and little Is
gathered at times on the South American coast.
The essential characteristic of arnbergrls Is
the penetrating and peculiar odor. Art has

its perfume that the most minute quantity
when mingled with any other strong scent Is
still perceptible Its chief component l. a
fatty matter. called ambrein. which Is got by
boiling ambergris in alcohol. There is about
ejghtv-tiv per cent OF this substance IN the
best ambergris. and it is this that gives the
value of the product as perfume
1t is claimed for ambergrlS that not only mas
it its own odor. but that It also possesses the
quality of exalting the flavor and perfume ot
other substances with which it Is brought Ill
contact The odor is similar to that of musk
but it is much more penetratlng and enduring
These qualities give ambSrgris a value that
is shown in the prices paid tor the limited
quantities found and offered for sale. At
recent auction in London, the prices ran t1T

drew up many bucketfuls With this grease
they anointed the masts. their sea boots and
oilSkns. They regarded their ind as ordinary
grease and wasted it as such As a matter of
fact the grease was ambergris and the waste
was of material worth something like twenty

This proved to be compact mass of amber
girls the value of which was about twenty-five
thousand dollars.
There is some popular confusion OF amber
girls with amber in fact, however. there IS no
relation between them. But tor a long time
the nature of ambergris was hidden IN myS-
terry. In ancient days 1t was commonly be-
lieved that it flowed up from the bottom OF
the sea Sindbad the Sailor tells OF spring
of ambergris that he found but 1t IN
crude state The fish swallowed IT. and then
dlsgorged 1t in congealed form, and IN this
condition it tioated on the surface OF the sea.
This story harmonlzeS perfectly with the
old Arabian belief The Hindus thousand
years ago described ambergris as material
generated by whales. In the Middle Ages.
and even as late as the seventeenth century.
ambergris was supposed to possess magic pow
ers and it was highly esteemed as principal
ingredient of love philters.
AmbergriS Is an animal product enana-
