PoRPOISE is VALUABLE.
Gives Lubricating Oil of Exceptional
Virtues.

The porpoise, as most of us know,
has long provided lubricating oil of
exceptional virtues, but the public may
not be aware that the oil from the liv
er Of the shark and the dogfsh has
the medicinal characteristics which have
made cod liver oil therapeutic agent
for decades. The flesh Of the shark is
decidedly palatsble, so is that of the
dogfish, and what is not suited for can
ming can be converted into a chicken or
animal food or else used in the prepa
ration sf.fertilizers. Down south, where
the sea leather fishing. stations are at
present established, experience shows
that five sharks are caught to every
porpoise ensnared in the nets. The
sharks range in weight from 400 to p
900 pounds, and a 500-pound shark is
pretty common.
From the hide of a 500-pound shark
it is possible to obtain 10 square feet
of leather, and the stomach furnishes
a raw material which can be made in
to leather with the appearance and tex
ture of glazed kid. The liver will yield
anywhere from 10 to Is gallons of oil
and the dorsal fin, when dried, will
bring about $3.50 among oriental cpl
cures. The teeth of the shark sell read
ily, and are utilized by manufacturing
jewellers in ornaments of one kind or
another From the blood of the sea

Paper Pulp from Cotton Fibre.

Announcement that process has
been discovered for making paper pulp
from cotton fibre has been developed
and that a company has been formed
to begin production soon in Virginia
is of much interest, if true, to publish
ers and consumers Of paper, as well as
to southern cotton interests.
Various experiments have been un-
der way for some time for finding a
substitute material for wood pulp in
the manufacture of paper. The serious
shortage and the high prices of paper
have encouraged extraordinary efforts
to find such a substitute. Southern cot
ton wood has been tried as a material
for making pulp for certain varieties
of paper. and it is probable that cot
ton wood will yet be used in a large
way by paper manufacturers.
Some paper is now being made from
cotton wood and investigators have
been in Texas recently making in
quiries about the supply. A mill in
Georgia is now making paper out of
cotton linters.
If cotton fibre and cotton wood both
prove susceptible 10 HldHuldtlult INTO
paper, il may mean the bringing into
the South of large part of the paper
making industry. The South is rapidly
increasing its consumption of paper as
its cities grow and its population in
creases. There j. no doubt but that
paper mills would flourish in this sec
tion of the country, if raw material
be found available nearby.
II is not improbable that important
developments are pending in the paper
making industry. Necessity is the
mother of invention, and the necessity
for securing more paper has become SO
acute that new progress for utiliA-
ing other than the ordinary varieties
Of pulp wood is almost inevitable.
Every publisher in the land devoutly
hopes that the enterprises for convert
ing cotton fibre. and also cotton wood
pulp. into papr will succeed. Relief
must come soon from some source

Poland's Natural Frontiers

In proposing an armlstlce on the ba .
sis of the withdrawal of the Polish
armies from regions outside the natural
frontiers of Poland. the allies no doubt
have in mind the provisional frontier
which was drawn last year by the peace
conference Much trouble would have
been saved if the provisional frontier
had been made definitive, but the alb
sence Of Russia from the conference in
terfered with this, nor did the advo-
Gates of greater Poland desire hard
and fast frontier, which would inter
fere with expansion to the east. So
the drawing of the details of the boun-
Diary was postponed, and this lndeti-
niteness made it possible for the Poles
to encroach little by little on Lithu
anan and Russian territory till at the
Beresina they had reached a point some
200 miles beyond the provisional from
tier before their great drive began
A natural" frontier in the geograph
ical sense can hardly be said TO exist,
and indeed the lack of such clearly
marked boundary was largely respon-
sible both for the over-extension of the
Polish empire at the height of its
glory. and for the complete humiliation
of Poland as a political entity after the
collapse of the empire. The only from
tiers worth considering, since Poland is
too weak to expand by conquest, is the
racial frontier within which the Poles
are in a clear majority. This is not
very difficult 10 trace. and in only a
few cases such as upper Silesia and
West Prussia does it seriously conflict
with political and economic require
ments On the east such line is
marked by the River Bug TO point 80
miles above Brest Litovsk. where il
swings northeast and then north to
Grodno. Non Polish bays are found
within this line, but the population al
fected is not large enough to require
abandonment of the convenient from
tier which a river provides.
To attempt 10 construct frontier
in the lands further east which Poland
once ruled and the soil of which is in
part still owned by the Polish gentry
involves difficulties which would prob
ably prove insuperable Poland is not
strong enough to seize and defend by
force territories its rightful claim to
which is not admitted. On the other
hand, a plebiscite is impracticable, be.
cause the population of great part of
this territory was evacuated by the
cars generals during the war because
of the German advance, and the sur.
vivors are widely scattered Moreover,
n plebiscite under the direction of the
allies would be one sided because a pie.
biscite is conflict of propaganda,
and the allies would hardly be impair
tial in conflict between Polish and
soviet propaganda; prudent entente
statesmen would instantly reject . pro
posal OF that sort.
Little as restriction to Poland proper
may satisfy the ambitions Of the Poi
ish aristocracy. il l. the one plan which
promises happiness and security to the
Polish nation. Within these limits it
may be surrounded by friends instead
of by enemies. Russia has conceded its
claims. and the allies are ready to de
fend them. To abandon this secure flu
ture for schemes of forcible expansion
would be to exchange substance for
shadow Springfield Republican.
