Value of the Porpoise.

DORPOISE shooting affords to the
Indians of the assamaquoddy
tribe their principal means Of support.
| 1t is practiced at all seasons Of the
year round the Bay of Fundy and por-
| tions of the Maine coast, but the fish
caught in the Winter are the fattest and
give the largest quantities of oil.
| The largest porpoises measure about
| I feet in length weigh 300 pounds and
upward and yield from 6 to gallons
Of oil. The blubber is about , inches
! thick in Winter and weighs about 100
pounds in a large porpoise.
The Indians take out the oil in a very
primitive manner and with rude but
picturesque appliances. All along the
| beach, on what is known as Indian
/ Beach, at the Grand Menan, are curious
| structures, consisting of two upright
pieces of wood surmounted by cross
piece from which the kettles are hung
| by chains. Large stones are then piled
in a semicircle under the kettle, inside
of which a fire is made and allowed to
burn fercely until the stones are very
hot.
The huge pots containing the blubber
are then lowered over the stones and
just enough fire is kept to slowly melt
the blubber. When melted, the oil is
| ShlIItHeu Oh ana pOuIti iI4Ib llII SdIiS Va
labout 5 gallons capacity and the process
| is complete.
If the oil is pure il readily brings
about dollar gallon, but if aduterated
with seal or other inferior oil its value
is reduced. The most superior grade,
however, is obtained from the jaw Of
the porpoise.
| The jaws are hung up in the sun and
the oil, as it drips, is caught III cans
placed for that purpose. The quantity
| is only about a hlaf pint from each jaw,
but a high price is paid for it by watch
fine lubricator This is known
| 'watchmakers' OIL
The oil from the blubber is excellent
for lubricating machinery. as it never
gets sticky or rancid and is unaffected
by wintry weather. For long time ii
was also used in lighthouses on the
| coast.
This industry. almost unknown to the
| outside world, is followed by the In
dians year after year and calls for BRAY
cry, skill and endurance. If industrious
an Indian can capture about $50 por-
poises a year and they will probably
average gallons of oil each. Their
usual method however, is to accumu-
late some Is or 30 gallons of oil, then
go with it to EastpoTt, Me, for a
| market.
! The flesh, when cooked, is not unlike
| fresh pork, and the Indians still use it.
, 1t is also used somewhat by the fisher
men along the coast who readily ex
| change with the Indians fresh fish for
| ''porpus" meat.

The Star=NOSed Mole.

THE most curiously formed of all
the burrowing creatures is un-
doubtedly the radiated mole, or, as
it is more generally called. the star
nosed mole. AS suggested by the
popular name, the most extraordi-
nary feature of this grotesque little
turnover is the long, slender muzzle,
at the end of which are found num-
ber of fleshy points, radiating like
the petals of a daisy. These peculiar
points are a bright rose color and
can be opened or closed at the will
of the animal, in which movement
they present a strange sight. The
openings of the nostrils are in the
center of the daisy" ap4 Is is
thought that the projections aid the
mole in procuring it's habitual worm
and insect food There are usually
about 20 points formed around the
nostrils.
AS is common with every member
of the family, the star-nosed mole
has such small eyes that they are not
readily seen unless especially search
ed for. and for many years the old
naturalists believed them blind. How
ever, by dropping one of them in a
tub of water, it pfotr-da1 its eyes
from the furry covering so as to es-
cape to the nearest landing place.
The muscular development of the
forelimbs is remarkable for SO small
creature, and, being employed
chiefly for digging underground tun-
nels these limbs are furnii he'd with
large paws having long. hattened
nails.
The star-nosed mole's tail is quite
long in proportion TO its body often
reaching 2l2 inches. with body length
OF only about 4 Y inches. and for-that
reason it is sometimes known az the
long-tailed mole.

of interest. But there wasn't a sign
of enthusiasm, liking or anything
else Finally the leader of the group
uttered a cultural or two, and they
all faced about and started for the
door before 1 could say a word.
"The proprietor, who had been
watching, ran over to me.
Ibid they pay your he demanded.
I shook my head.
HE dashed out of the door and
started an indignant word battle for
his money. But 1t wasn't any use.
All the Indians would do was to grunt
and shake their heads.
"They couldn't understand why on
earth this white man was acting so
strangely Here he had dragged
them into his picture shop to take
their pictures, had told them to come
back and get them later, and they
had done just as he had said. Moth
ing had been said about any money.
When they saw he had nothing else
to tell them they just fell in line and
marched on up the Avenue. leaving
the proprietor tearing his hair That
put an end to his hauling customers

GONE day I was called to a
private residence to make some
interior scenes. While 1 was there
the master of the house came in with
some friends and told me he thought
it a good opportunity to make a group
picture. 1 explained to him that only
inanimate objects could be taken in
such a light, and that it would re-

ing the Spanish-American War was
very interesting and the results were
far-reaching, for even years after
the war l received letters from be-

GONE Of the greatest things which
my work at the War College
brought me was the privilege of
handling the Brady collection. 1 have
number of copies Of the best pic
lures in that group, including scenes
of Lincoln visiting the battleieIds, all
the famous Army and naval officers
and various others.
Some years ago. on the occasion of
the first visit of the Prince of Wales.
I happened to be going over the
Brady collection, and saw a picture
which had been taken of Edward VII
when he visited this country as the
Prince of Wales years ago. ] was
struck with the likeness of the pic
ture to the present prince. so l hur-
rted out good copy, retouched it as
we'll as / could and gave it to the
commanding officer of the War Coll
1eSS, VINO ruSneQ II up 10 the w ar
Department The prince was in
Washington at the time, so the pic
ture was speedily delivered TO him.
He was greatly interested in It, and
later sent a personal note OF thanks
to the official forwarding the copy.
also thanking me for bringing it out
of obscurity."
The World War;" repeated Mr..
Bishop, in answer to a query by the
writer. There is little which stands
out there, except hard work. We were
short handed and had small time to
notice the unusual things. One thing
1 do remember though, because the
then commanding officer of the War
College told me jokingly that 1
had helped catch an escaped prisoner.
1t seems that an officer of a ship
interned at Norfolk had been sent to
a prison camp at the outbreak of the
war and had later escaped. The mo-
ment the Military Intelligence Divi-
sion received word of it a picture of
the man was sent down to the
laboratory. We Immediately rushed
out scores of copies, which were sent
to agents along the coast and on the
Mexican border.
"As luck would have il, one of
these pictures arrived just in time to
turn the trick, for the man was
caught as he was signaling for a boat
to cross the Rio Grande So per-
haps 1 did contribute my little bit
to help win the war"
