WHALING OFF BRAZIL
HOW THE BIG CREATURES
HUNTED AND KILLED.
ARE
Harpooned From Heavy Boats and
Lanced Repeatedly Ready Mar
ket la Found for the Whale
bone, OH and Meat
The whfilobono whale, known In sci
ence nu hnlnenntitcra miiHCiihiH, bo
longs to the faiciiy of rorjuala, mid Its
catching Is ono of tho principal Indus
tries of Hruy.il, from As.ni (In Torre to
CarnveUas. Tho whale c.n.filit nlonB
'this stretch of count hae oil nn uv
.crane about ItCD pi- ty-s of whnloboiio
hanging from the roof of their upper
Jaws. They averago about 32 Indies
in length, and becauso of their short
ness havo little commercial value.
Tho length of this variety of whnlo Ib
from CO to 70 feet. The largest ono
.taken last year gavo 0,104 quarts of
oil from blubber and 412 quarts from
craps. Its lower Jawbone wa3 17.3
feet long;, and Its total' length was 70
feet. '
, The boats used by the Brazilian
whalers are heavy, band made affairs,
capable of standing great' strain. On
each aide of the prow Is 'attached a
hornlike projection of natural bent
wood, around which pass the ropes at
tached to the harpoons. In a boat's
equipment are from eight to twelve
.harpoons, each attached to about fifty
feet of manlla rope. Each boat also
carries from two to four lances, to
which are attached lines easily cut
away, when danger threatens.
As soon as a harpoon la thrown In
to a whale the big creature leaps In
tthe water and starts away at great
peed. At once the sail Is lowered
and the rudder taken In. From time
to time tho whale slackens his speed,
and then the line Is hauled In until
finally the whale Is near enough to
permlt lances to bo thrown Into It.
The lances easily penetrate the whale
.and are as easily Jerked out again,
and again the whale Is stabbed with
them until a vital point has been
struck or tho whnlo succumbs from
.loss of blood.
When the whale Is killed It Is the
duty of one of tho crew to dive under
.the carcass and pass a rope with
which to tie up' the mouth, otherwise
such a quantity of water would be tak
en In that the whale would sink. As
t.Ms usuually takes place at sea and
tho whale Is always surrounded by
.voracious sharks which have been at
tracted by the blood the task requires
no little courage and skill.
The whale Is towed to the beach
and cut up, the fat being separated
from the meat and the bones. Tho
blubber Is taken to nn oil fnctory, tho
meat Is smoked and so finds 'already
salo at Hahla and In tho country.
On one occasion thirteen whales
wero landed at n station within thirty-six
hours. Tho average catch dur
ing the last few seasons has been from
,300 to 400 whales.

"you happen to own a two-by-twice
plot of ground outside of town with
anything standing on It In tho way of
a slinck with n roof over It, your
friends who don't possess such a ploco
of property regard you reproachfully
as spring comes on. At Inopportune

'If we only felt that we, too.
could Idle-in the ronntry all summer!'
"You feel horribly apologetic. You
know that your envious friends could
buy a hundred places sich as yours
and dump them Into tho lake Just to
hear the Bplosh nnd never miss the
money, so it Is a surprise to find your
self rernrded as n wretched plutocrat
when the overwhelming reason that
led you to flee from town was that the
bill collector doesn't come around so

"Two days before I am taking the
boat for Michigan I always get Invita
tions to the opening dinner at the
country club, an automobile ride and a
theater party, all to take place the
week after I am gone. As I wad tis
sue paper Into the sleeves of the new
gown I am packing and which I won't
have a chance to wear again all sum
mer I remember what It cost and
seethe with anguish.
"It Is dark when the boat pulls
away from Chicago and If It doesn't
rain Bogglly when I start I rest as
sured that It will be raining when 1
arrive In Michigan. It has to rain at
one or the other of these times, be
cause I nm wearing my best flower
trimmed hat that Is too huge to pack
and I have Just had my suit pressed.
There seem to bo acres of my lucgnge
on tho Michigan dock the next morn
ingtrunks, new porch rugs, n sew
ing machine and a kitchen stove and
besides I have to wade around town
In tho sand, buying grocerlos nnd nnlls
and mops nnd matches, before plung
ing Into the calm country ten miles
from anywhore.
"The boatman who comes for me
does not seem exactly overwhelmed
with the Joy I rather expected him to
show on seeing me again. 'Huh!' he
groans. 'Have you got lead In these
here trunkB?'
"Some time I nm going to make an
exhnustlvo study of the psychological
causes leading baggagemen Invariably
to be overcome with surprise because
packed trunks cannot be wafted about
on one finger. They nlwnys nro so
righteously annoyed at this discovery!
"It Is mining as usunl when I am
shunted off at my own dock with my
luggage. This la particularly good for
the Ironwork on sewing mnchlncs and
stoves and Is fine for the contents of
trunks. Tho cottage seems oddly
veiled nnd investigation shows tho
veiling to consist of unbroken spider
webs and sheddings from tho bcoc'i

there nro so many spiders In the

was to meot me Is beautifully absent,
but tho full tragedy of this , grows
slowly as I raise window shades and
see the thick dust on every Inch of
everything. There are more cobwebs
Inside than outside and at the sight of
the pantry I shed tears. Spiders rush
from everything I touch. In a sort of
desperation I open the box couch to
find a work dress, whereupon a rattle
of beech nuts nnd cherry pits follows
the hauling forth of the top layer.
Then something furry and agitated
darts out and I sit down on tho floor
and shriek. It was a chipmunk routed
from his winter lodgings and he now
darts nervously nnd malignantly un
der a bookcase, I would Just as soon
live In the came house with a man
eating tiger as with a chipmunk!
"'No; said tho men who brought
up my soaked belongings from the

there ain't no one In town wh wants
a Job. No, you can't get no lettuce
nor berries nor garden truck tlioy

w
E can not think of anvthing at this time which
contained so much sound instruction, entertain
ment and helpfulness as the popular health
demonstrations by Dr. Sadler's company. From the
time Dr. Sadler began his splendid talk to the close of
his demonstration, he had the audience with him. The
fact that he held them after it was time for many of
them to be at home preparing their evening meal, and
the fact that the audience even then could not refrain
nfrom expressing its interest and profit, speaks for itself.
We have heard many physicians speak on health sub
jects, have seen health demonstrations of various kmds
but we cannot nt the present moment think of anybody
who does work along this line, and who does it so well
as Dr. Sadler. And when we say this we are express
ing merely the general sentiment of the people." ,
