our supply on catgut? The answer
Is; There isn't any cat farm. Cats in.
tostines can't be profitably utilized. II
not cats. then what furnishes the raw
material for musical Instruments and
tennis strings? The answer is: Sheep.
Every part of the animal Is utilized.
even the soft and mellow tones of his
bleating voice, which are preserved in
theNi Nintcstincs that string the tunefui
violin. As soon as the sheep intestines
are braided they are divided into mar
rows about eight ytisls in length. These
are sent TO thc' string factory. where
they are thoroughly 'c:leansed and chem.
ically treated. II takes from twenty to
twenty sheep to produce the strings for
one tennis racket. A single violin string
monopclizes the entrails of a whole
sheep. however big. After the gut is
split by running 1t over a safety razor
blade, the strands go through another
machine. which removes impurities.
Following this they are repeatedly run
wringers on wash tubs. From
four to fifteen Of these strands are used
for one music string, being spun into
strings. twisted and polished off with
emery paper.

OIL USED IN MAKING THE ARK

Oil and Gas journal: Those who are
disposed to believe that the oil indus
try is strictly modern business, are
probably nots aware that petroleum in
the form Of pitch-kuown as kupru OF
bitumen, was used in the construction
of the Tower,bf Babel and in the max.
ing of Noah's ark. In the construction
of ancient buildings bitumen was com,
monty utilized, as II was in embalming
the bofiit-s' of the dead ~ -
However, II was never, so far .as can
-bs learned ~ this. time, made !use of
as the basis Of fake stock-selling enter.
prises, as now in too many instances, it
is employed. II was mot means OF
sudden wealth-getting. II built no
crowded towns overnight.
IL was not to be blamed. in olden
days. for the printing and circulating
OF absurd "oil organs edited by per.
sons who knew nothing about pe,ro-
leum. 1t was not cracked" by gaso-
line distiilers. Ran,ing politicians did
not use oil, in those early times TO
break into public Office. In many re.
spects the oil doings OF the ancients diff.
fered radically from those of the Year
Of Grace, 1917.
