These particular seals, of "a species very rare in captivity, were captured off the Alaska coast and came to the Zoo as gifts of the Bureau of Fish cries. They made the long trip across the continent in an express car, with an attendant on hand to deluge lhem Mnh Water oice or twice q .say. 4He.y probably got somewhat dirty an the NAY, but, IL is explained by pr.

 "All vegetable fats are higher in price, and whale oil4has .advanced Nr0- portionately," said. MT. Schqpp. This year we sent four of our seven ,whal- ing steamships north and operated our Port Hebron station 4on Kodiak Island, giving employment to 4l50 men,"
 The American Pacific Whaling Company also has a station at t-Aku- tan, Alaska, and the Consolidated Whaling ,Corporation.has seven Whal- ing steamships .and stations at Rose Harbo and Warden Harbor, on GEa- ham Island. These ships and stations did not operate this wear.
 The principal product of the whal- ing industry is oil, but all other parts of the big mammals are marketed. The driad .blood and meat and the ground bone are used as cattle and chicken feed and fertilizer. The oil taken by the American Pacific Whal- ing Company this year will be shipped in tank cars to the new plant of Proc- tor & Gamble, soap manufacturers ~at Long Beach. Calf.

 Much of the success of the whaling fleet depends on the success of the harpoon gunners, nearly all of whom come from Norway. They are paid a regular salary and a ehonns of $7-5O to S15 for each whale bagged, according to the species.

In these skirmishes the wardens are always at
