When you tramp the margin of Ue sea, along the line where the waves leave seaweeds, bottle corks, and the unconsidered flotsam and jetsam which none sees fit to take away, make sure that the piece of stuff yon took to be mottled soap is not a lump of ambergris. This precious sub-stance, of which whalemen dream In their ambitious wanderings about the seven seas, comes from (be atimoutury canal of the sperm whale or cachalot A few years ago Norwegians fishing In Australian waters found In one whale ambergris weighing approxi-mately fM)0 pounds. It was worth $135,000. By contrast, the whole production of the United Statea In 1922 only amounted to 44 pounds, worth about $1 1.300. And not so long ago a piece of good luck befell a Spanish ship, the crew of which found 248 pounds In an Atlantic whale. In centuries forgotten, when sperm whales were more abundant, am'ier-gr- l did service In sacramental rites. The Chinese administer It medici-nally.

At this state of civilization and we I have quite a considerable civilization at the moment we need men who do set buzz about a small area hut who can look all up and down the long road along which the caravan of his-tory baa passed and Is passing.
