Oil From Monsters' Jaws For Machinery Washington, L>. C., Oct. 30.?Because of the increasing numbers of aeronautical instrument*, wutchea and other delicate mechanisms are causing a shortage in the supply of fishjaw oil, a governm<*nt agency has undertaken a survey of the sources of lubricants. Oil from the jaws of porpoises and blackfish, which now is chiefly used ?to lubricate these mechanisms, has soared in price. "For two centuries porpoises have been taken in nets off Cape liutteras," says a bulletin from tbe Washington headquarters of the National Geprgraphic Society. "Today they are also fished along the coast of Kinmark, the northernmost province of Norway and" along the Atlantic Shore near Morehead, North Carolina. "Porpoises winter off the South Atlantic coast Schools may be seen almost daily passing just outside the surf. The largest animals reach u length of seven fee.t and weigh about 300 pounds. "The porpoise fishermen are as expert as fishermen who literally live in the codfish fisheries off New Kngland ami Newfoundland. lookouts are stationed on the beach above and below the point where the porpoise fishers await signals. When a s< :?ool of porpoises is sighted, boats equipped with large seines are launched. The seines are joined, forming a eonry-eircular pen with one' end secured to the beach. The net-: men are able to watch the progress of a school of porpoises by the position of the lookout who walks along ! th* beach abreast the school. "When the animals enter the pen, th? offshore end of the net is rus-hed ashore. The porpoises lungs at the net and avtempt to jump over and dive under the mesh, but fishermen are usually stationed in boats outside the pen to scare the surging animals toward the shore. Near the beach a smaller net is laid around the main portion of the school which is beached first. Then the remainder "of the school, is swept in by the larger net. "Although jaw oil is an important product of porpoise fisheries, the animal also are valuable for their body oil, which is extracted from the blubbei by boiling. In northern Norway the blubber is euten by the fisherfolk who consider, it superior to many other sea foods. The flesh not consumed is salted for exportation while the entrails and bones make good fertilizer. For many years the Indians along the Maine coafet' have supported themselyes by capturing porpoises. . "Porpoise meat also is consumed aboard whaling boats. Whalers capture porpoises by harpooning. The I blubber not consumed is cut into longitudinal strips four to five inches wide, then minced, and placed in pots to boil. Each animal yields about two gallons of body oil. Porpoise jaw oil is produced by rejnoving the animal's lower jaw and extracting the oil-containing blubber which is boiled gently. A single jaw contains about a half pint of jaw oil. "Blackfish jaw oil is of etjual merit for lubrication. These fish, which -widely range the Atlantic Ocean, are (psually captured by harpooning. ATong the New England coast large schools of blackfish that have ventured close to the shore for food have been rounded up and driven on the beach. "The largest catches of blackfish have been made on the west coas<t of Africa. Twenty to twenty-five of these monsters caught by a whaling fleet in a season are considered a good catch. They are from eight to twenty-two feet in length and weigh several hundred pounds. "Harpooned blackfish are hoisted atmnTd the whalers' deck and their blubber stripped and boiled like that of the porpoise. Blackfish produce from thirty-five to forty gallons of body oil while jaw oil averages about two gallons per fish." lake advantage of The Chronicle's Special Subscription Offer!
