CONTENDS THAT COMMERCIAL
EXTINCTION OF WHALES
IS INEVITABLE.

WASHINGTON, D.. G., Feb. 1s.A
IF the American and European
people could be educated to the
point Of eating the canned flesh OF
animals which Individually yield as
much as $4,000 pounds Of meat,
what a wonderful food supply would
be within reach of the poor OF our
great cities,'' writes Roy Chapman
Andrews, of New York, in an in:
teresting communication on whal-
ing, to the National Geographic So:
ciety, at Washington, D! G. He
predicts that as result OF tho
world.hunt for the monarch Of the
seas, now going on in full blast, the
commercial extinction Of the large
whales, within very few decades,
is inevitable. Except in Japan, lie
Gays, great portions OF the flesh of
the animals, Which is palatable and
healthful, is now going to waste or
is being used for fortified purposes
Few people realize that the
blue. or sulphur bottom, whale
found in all our oceans is not only
the largest animal that lives today,
but is also, SO far as is now known,
;he largest animal that has even ex-
listed on the earth or in its waters,
writes Mr.. Andrews. Specimens
have been measured which reached
q length of 81 feet and in ali prob
ability weighed as much as as tons.
Although the mouth is enormous.
large enough in fact to permit i 0 or
u men to stand upright in It, the
throat measures only 0 inches I'M
diameter. These animals, like most
of the 'whole-bone whales usually.
feed ION minute tcrustaceans. a
shrimp about three-quarters of an
inch long. They probably never
cat fish OF any kind IL other food Is
TO be had, and Of the many stom-
,achs ] have examined, never once
could anything but the little red
crustaceans be found. From tile
stomach of one blue whale at Van.
couver Island five barrels of shrimp
were taken, and 1t was by no means.
full.
Probably no cctacean has such
wonderful strength as. have the
blue whales. When saw. a blue
whale with harpoon between the
shoulders drag ship. with engines
at full speed astern. through the
water almost as though It had been
a rowboat, / began to listen to the
stories of their incredible strength
with more respect. The finback,
closely related to the blue whale,
has been called the GREYHOUND Of
The sea- for its long, slender body.
Is built on the lines of the racing
yacht and the animal can equal the.
speed of the fastest steamship.
"All the large whales show great
affection for their young, and The
cows and calves will seldom leave
each Other when pursued by a ship.

We sighted a female finback with a
young one about 30 feet long beside
