Oil of the Porpoise.

The porpoises killed in winter are
the latest and produce most oil. The
largest size measure about seven feet
in length, five feet in girth and weigh
about 300 pounds. Such porpoise
yields from six to seven gallons of oil.
The blubber of big porpoise weighs
about 100 pounds and is one and a
half inches thick in summer and two
in winter. The jaws of the porpoise
yield superior quality of oil. When
hung up in the sun 1t readily drips
away into cans provided for the pur-
pose, the quantity Of oil thus procur-
ed, however, being not more than half
a pint to the jaw. The oil from the
blubber gives an excellent light and Is
in demand along the coast for light
house use. 1t has no offensive odor.
