IN the upper portion OF the head
the sperm whale has an immense oil
tank in which the valuable "sperma-
ceti' is found in liquid condition, and
from which ii may be dipped out with
bucket when an incision has been
made. From a sperm whale 80 feet in
length, which was sent TO the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History from
Japan, 20 barrels Of Spermaceti were
taken cut of the ease" and the sur
rounding fat The oil eongeals as soon
as Il is cooled by the air.
The sperm whale is the animal
which yields ambergris. the valuable
substance used SO extensively IN the
manufacture OF the best perfumes
Ambergris is only found In "sick"
whales that Is, its presence is not
normal, hut is caused by pathO-

The finback, closely related 10 the
blue whale, has been called the grey
hound Of the sea" for Its long, slender
body Is built on the lines OF racing

speed of the fastest steamship. Little
is known about the breeding habits OF
whales except that young OF whales
are born alive, and are sucked and
vigorously defended by the mother, as

Radek Declares Germany Has

BERLIN, June 4.-"The Ameri
can public be damned" was the at
titude taken by Karl Radek, Soviet
Russia's chief propaganda, who is
now in Germany keeping nimble
finger upon the pulse Of the col
lapsing empire.
Radek's standing with Moscow is
shown by the fact that he prob
ably will succeed Krestinsky as
Russian ambassador to Germany
Radek is noted for the bluntness OF
his statements. He is one diplomat
with whom correspondents can
speak frankly.
why did the Soviet government
execute Archbishop Butkiewicz and
horrify the American people just
at the moment when America had
begun to show a sympathetic atti-
tude toward Russian" the CORE
Spondent asked Radek.
Spoiled By Germany.
1.-THE American people," respond
ed the Russian official, ''are suffer
ing from megalomania. They are
suffering from swollen heads. They
think the sun should rise and set
at their bidding.
THE American public has been
spoiled by Germany The German
government d9es not dare to do
nor say single thing without Ire
viously ascertainiEsg If it will please
the American Government and the
American people.
Soviet Russia does not give a
damn what America thinks of the
Russian executives. They order
such acts as they believe necessary
and expedient for the good of the
country and the success of domes-
tic policies
Radek waved aside all warning
hints that the Soviets government
some day might regret such defi-
ance of the public opinion of the
country that won history's great
war. Radek said he realized the
importance of his remarks. He
said he did not mind the public air
ing of his opinions
Radek said he believed Lord Cur
ron, British foreign secretary is
personally welded to an anti-Rus.
sian policy. He expressed the opin.
ion that Russo-English concilia-
ton would prevail, and that there
would be no breach between the
two countries.
"Wha do you think of the
Foch was hailed as the greatest
living pacifist?'' - Radek was asked.
The Soy ct envoy pondered a mo-
ment and then replied dryly:
when the whole world consists
Of a bunch of yeggs and pirates
why shouldn't an individual have
the right to call himself pacifist. ;"
Asked about the physical condi-
ton of Lenin. the Russian official
answered:
I'VE hope he will live a long
time. But if he must die we can
assure you his death will not make
the slightest difference so far as
the Soviet regime at Moscow is
concerned. You ask me who will
succeed him. Perhaps no individual
win be his successor. It is possible
the central executive committee Of
the communist party may take over
the functions Lenine exercised"
