SHARK PRODUCTS.
Evan tho Bones Are Useful, the Spine
a. Walking Stick.

a.
Products obtained from the shark
are both numerous and valuable.
Shark fins furnish n jelly that makes
a delicious soup, If one may credit the
statements Of those affecting that dell
cacy. There Is an excellent market for
this jelly wherever Chinese are to be
found.
The sharks liver gives a splendid
clear oil eXcellently adapted for the
fabrication Of the parts Of witches,
clocks and fine guns. This oil Is held
I'm some quarters in rs high esteem as
Is the oil obtained from porpoise ana
dostish liver, long claimed to be the
finest of animal oils.
Shnrkskin is of much value. 1t Is
of q beautiful FURNISHED gray or blu
Ish color and ut first glance looks like
finely grained leather by reason OF the
tiny prickles plentifuily set one way.
There are so many Of these prickles,
quite Invisible to the naked eye, that
the effect afforded by the dried skin
Is one OF rich beauty, quality that
makes It particularly valuable for the
manufacture Of shagreen. 1t Is EN-
ploycd for many decorative purposes.
Even the bones Of sharks are useful.
The spine Is in constant demand by
the manufacturers Of curious walking
sticks. They pass thin malacca or
steel rod through the polished and
round vertebrate, and the result Is n
cane that sells for high price. The
shark spine stick is n great favorite In
Harper's Weekly.
