err Albatros Is under consideration by
Secretary Nagel OF the department Of
commerce and labor. It WIGS suggested
by Henry F. Osborn. president OF the

Mr.. Osborn says he recently has re-
ceived confidential information from one
who has just returned from the Antarctic

Islands herds of southern fur seal in such
numbers as to promise commercial i'm

past a whaling industry has developed in
the south rivaling the industry of the
north. There are at least four distinct
species of whales in the Antarctic In
certain localities they are exceedingly
abundant.
Mr.. Osborn says that he IS credibly in
formed that largo numbers Of sea Gle
plants also exist by considerable num-
bers in the Antarctic region.
