DOOR OF OF GREATEST AND MEAL. Conservation of the whale is now in order, and without internationa) regula- tion of the slaughter this grand life form must inevitably be swept from the earth within a few years, or made as rare as the sea serpent. In # report to the London Royal Society of Arts, T. E Halwesen has given the number of whales obtained in 1911 as about 22,500. There has been a great recent development of the whaling industry in the Southern Hemisphere, and 7,000 whales were taken by South Georgia, 3,500 by the South Shetlands, and 4,000 by South Africa. The total yield of oil in both hemispheres was about 620.000 barrels, worth nearly $15,000,000. This year's take is expected to show an increase of at least 10 or 15 per cent., and another lamentable sacrifier to man's greed will soon be complete.
