OIL FROM P0RPO|sE.
Why Fishermen Brave Winters
on the Atlantic Coast.
Product Of Flsh's Fat 10 Used ~ lu-
bricant for Watches, Clocks and
Chronomoters - Pursuit. 10
Very Profitable.

New York.-Now Is the season when
the playful porpoise puts on its winter
underwear, in the form Of thick pro-
tective layer Of fat, and until spring
these gamboling creatures of the sea
will be sought by a special class OF
Atlantic fishermen. Needless of time
as the porpoise seemingly is, yet upon
1t depends the busy mans apportion-
ing Of his daily tasks. Because of this
fact a curious industry has developed
in this country Of which the public
generally knows nothing. an industry
that intimately affects the running of
watches and clocks.
From the lower jaw of the porpoise
Is extracted an oil which is peculiarly
fitted to serve as a lubricant for
watches, clocks and thermometers. and
strange to say. from no other source
can an oil of the requisite qualities be
obtained. Therefore the porpoise is
hunted as systematically as the whale
used to be.
A few years ago nearly 100000
clocks just out Of their makers hands
went wrong. It was not merely that
they lost time. but they actually came
to a full stop and would not work at
all. There was no question about
their skillful fabrication and assem-
bling. The whole trouble was due to
an imperfect lubricant. and a goodly
sum Of money and much time were
spent before these clocks were in run
ming order and flt for distribution.
From this may be appreciated the
value of the contribution which the
porpoise makes to the daily life Of
mankind.
For years the porpoise was taken
principally as a side issue in other
fishing. The creation in the demand
for the oil led to the creation Of bus
mess Of having for its sole end the
capture Of porpoises in large numbers
and under circumstances that could be
controlled to meet commercial de-
mands.
Happening had previously been the
method Of taking them. but this had
many drawbacks. An oil refiner in
New Bedford learned that the Turks
on the Black sea used dragnets to land
the native porpoise when swimming
near shore in quest of certain small
fish upon which they feed. This was
a practice unknown here and condi-
lions were not identical, but that clev-
er Yankee believed that the facilities

The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1914-12-02

Among the usual alarms of a fire
in Hartford the court house bell Is
rungs Sometimes this is not quick
ly understood on account of the fact
that this bell is rung for various oc-
casions-prayer meeting, choir prac-
tice and other events.
In case of fire we suggest a
new wrinkle In bell ringing which
will be better understood. There
are two bells in the court house tow
er here-the regular large bell and
the old curfew bell which was used
years ago. The ropes to each hang
near together. At the next fire
alarm let somebody ring each bell,
both at the same time. This will
soon get to be known as the regular
fire alarm.
