MILLIONS IF DOLLARS
 WHALE O|L PROCURED
 THREE MONTHS TIME

NEW YORK, Aug, 13. [P)-Last
 February the story was told of the Norwegian steamship ''C. A. Larsan" the boat that swallows whales Tt lis fitted with a big drag tunnel through which the whale is drawn di- rectly into the ship where it can be cut up saving delays and extra hand ling
 Recently the vessel arrived in New York with a cargo of oil in her hold valued at $1,O0O,O0O, the result of a three months trip in the Ross sea, about 700 miles from the south pole. The Larsen and her sister ship, the Sir James Clark Ross" are said to be able to do in three months what the old time fleet did in three years. Each of the vessels being equal to about 100 of the old-fashioned type
 Six 200-ton killer" boats joned the Larsen south of New Zealand for the whaling. These craft carry harpoon cannon and are sometimes dragged along by the whales for miles. Skip pers of the killer" boats are paid on commission occasionally making as much as $18,OO0 in three months. The prize pay on the recent trip was $10,000. The crews work night and day, since, at the whaling season there is no real night at that ex- treme southern locality.
 Most of the whale oil is used for the manufacture of soaps and similar products, and the bone is now ground up for oil,its use for corsets and whips having practically vanished owing to the gradual disappearance of horse-drawn vihicles and to chang ng fashions.
