An interesting Curio

w. G. Moody of Augusta brought to
the Journal office Wednesday an in
teresting curio in the form of slab
of baleen taken from the mouth of
whale which was towed into Port
Clyde 80 years ago. Mr.. Moody was
then a resident of Rockland and pro-
prietor of a livery stable. With char
acteristic enterprise, after securing
the whalebone with his own hands
from the mouth of the mammal, he
rounded. glossy surface a rural scene
in which his barge, the "Niobe," ap-
pears as the overshadowing object.
The whale from which this bone was
taken was SO feet long and must have
yielded % or 80 tons of oil and more
than half a ton of marketable whale
bone. In a large whale sometimes
as many as 800 of these slabs on each
side are merchantable. This "baleen"
"a name given by whale fishermen)
hangs like a fringe from the upper
jaw. They are frayed out along the
inner edge into a fringe of long, elias
tic filaments. When the jaws are
closed, the baleen serves as a sieve
to strain out the multitudes of small
mollusks or crustaceans upon which
the whale feeds, and which are gulped
in Wild barrels of water in the act of
grazing the surface with open mouth.
