BOILING DOWN PENGU1Ns.

What Is probably the most southerly
industry of the world is being carried
on at Macquarie island. about half way
between Tasmania and the Antarctic
continent, in the capture of penguins
Tor their oil. Macquarie island belongs
to the state OF Tasmania and has ar
area OF about 5000 acres, being about
twenty-five miles long and Ave miles
wide. The island Is leased by the Tas.
manian government to Joseph Hatch
who has established a penguin oil in.
dustry there.
There arr probably 100000 pen.
gums on the island. so that the stock to
be drawn from seems almost limitless
According to Consular and Trade Re.
ports the oil is obtained from the non.
gums by boiling the carcasses in di.
sestors capable Of dealing with 500 birds
at time The tops Of the digestors are
fastened down and steam applied until
ABOUT twenty-five pounds pressure Is oh.
ta'ned' The steam is then turned Off and
water pumped into the bottoms Of the
ancestors this causing the oil to RE. when
IT Is taken OFF the top by a tap.
The oil is placed In barrels and sold to
binder Irvine makers In Australia and New
zealand. There Is good market for all
the oil that Is produced here, but the In
oustry has met with several severe losses

the island. There IL no harbor about the
Island. SO that the vessels have to lie
