therefore, New Workers are taking
into their lungs nearly 1000 tons of
meatl annually. and rapidly develop

actually steel-lined.
New Workers. this week have been,
staring curiously at the first migra-
tory factory which has even been
seen here, or for that matter any
where else in this country which at
present Ii anchored in the bay hav-
ing lust arrived from eastern waters.
The unique plant ista floating fish
oil factory, the only one OF its kind
In. the world, and represents an in
vcstment Of nearly $1,000,0O0. Its
cxistance is due to the belief of one
man that 1t is more economical 70
move the plant to the raw product
than to bring the raw product to the
plant, at least In this particular
field. Accordingly instead Of erect
i-e n factory on land for the reduc-
tion OF fish to oil and fish scrap. a
sea- going factory was, built which
follows the. fish up and down the
coast. The novel factory which
steams under its own power is
equipped with immense screw press
es, great steam cooking watts and on
each side huge electrical conyeyor
to- scoop the Nish out OF the holds OF
the fishing STEAMERS to the travelling
belt that takes them on until the
process Ia completed. All of the ma
chinery Is operated by electricity.

There arc tanks aboard that willho
75O 900 gallons Of fish oil. The
holds will accommodate 1000 bar
rcls of fish awaiting treatment, and
the paint will care for 10000 barrels
OF 'fifish in a day. So far this strango
factory, which pays no rcnt, has
proved great success.
While horse thieves are generally
supposed to live on Y in fiction and
the early history Of the West, the
fact has Just been brought to light
here that New York Is Tie greatest
center of horse stealing that the
country has ever known, So active
are the horse thieves here and so
common the thefts that there Is

There are apparently organized
bands of horse and wagon stealers
and there seems to be little risk once
| this property comes into their posses
lsion. One local grocer has had
horse and wagon stolenNelght times
within the last few months Involving
In each case''a loss of from $500 to
$500. Recently a horse fastened In
! front of store in crowded street
was taken by thief who simply led

| in sight of hundreds of persons
There is little difficulty in disposins
of the horses and wagons. most OF
| them being driven either to New
Jersey or Long Island. There the
wagons arc repainted and sold, while
! the horses are disguised preparatory
to their disposal. So cleverly is this
| work done that one dealer recently
Iactually purchased a team and
wagon which had been stolen from
! him. The horses had been cleverls
dyed. but certain peeuliarities led tc
| closer investigation which proved
that the purchaser had bought hi
own property. The irate owner ant
purchaser is now attempting to or
ganize vigilance committees.
