THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1v.. FAGTORY SHARKS INTO FINE LEATHER Unique Vessel Has Process on Board for Utilis- ing Fish FORMER YACHT Even Shagreen is Recovered and Used as Tooth Filler London (By Mail)--There will sail shortly from the East Indies Dock where she is at present berthed, what is probably the most extraor- dinary ship that ever came into the Port of London, She is the SS. Istar, and is virtually a {floating factory for the shark-fishing industry off the coast .of Western Australia. On hoard the vessel itself the sharks, when caught, can be turned into tanned leather, ready for manu- facture into boots and shoes, gloves, handbags, pocket-books, not to men- tion oil, food and chemicals, The vessel which is of 2,400 tons, was built originally as a yacht for the vife of a champagne merchant. During the war the yacht was fitted with six inch guns and used by the American navy, and now she is an astonishing mixture of the luxury yacht and a leather works. Her present condition is due to the genius of Dr. Alfred Ehrenreich, a little bent man, who has spent 22 years in experimenting with a pro- cess which he has perfected by which the shagreen can be removed from shark-skins, thereby making it smooth and pliable and fit for use in the most delicate work for which leather in the raw material is used. He has also patented a number of other processes connected with the shark industry which will be used on board the Istar. Among these is an extraordinary one by which the pigments to be used in dyeing the leather made from the skins will be produced from the shark itself. TF e are 244 shades of dye. A Dozen Motorboat A newspaper reporter writes: 1 went on board with her "skipper," Capt. Thomson, and what he showed me would amaze the most hardened of sightseers. Above the decks were slung a dozen motor-boats. It is in these that the fishermen will set out with nets to capture the sharks from which will be manufactured the leather, oil, meal, food, fertilizers, dyes, pigments, chemicals, glue, and other substances in which the fish will make their final appearance on the markets of the world. Each shark as it is brought aboard will be immediately skinned. The two great livers which each con- tains and in which is 30 per cent of the fish's weight in oil will be taken to one part of the deck and the oil sent below through pipes. The flesh, also, will disappear be- low for further treatment; the offal which would normally be thrown overboard, will go to be turned by machinery into fish meal and ferti- lizer, and the skin will go to the tannery deck, where the shagreen will be removed and the hide turn- ed into serviceable leather ready for the factory on shore, From the intestines of the sharks will be produced a leather similar to chamois, but stronger and more deli- cate in texture, for manufacture into gloves. Turtle Soup Not only sharks, however, but all that comes into the ship's nets will be "grist" for the ship's "mill." Cap- tain Thomson told me ,of the great mammals, dugongs--or sea cows-- that are found with the sharks, and of giant rays and turtles. From one of the huge patent driers in which the shark flesh is treated he took a piece of something that looked like glue or gelatige and told me that it was the basis of turtle soup. From another sec- tion of the drier he took a shark's fin, a delicacy that is greatly relish- ed by the Chinese--another market which is to be developed by the com- pany owning the Istar, The deodorized oil from the sharks will be used in the manufacture of soap and margarine, and the shag- reen, after it has been removed from the skin, may be recovered and used in the form of filling for teeth, and in other ways.

Awaiting Rain to Quell o . Serious Conflagration Little Rock, Ark., April 5.--Rains which a year ago were flooding Ar- kansas were anxiously awaited by forest rangers and hundreds of vol- untcer workers to aid them in fight- ing the most serious series of fires in the state's history in its two na- tional forests. One death, that of the 8-year-old son of Jim Tilley, has been reported and each report from the front has brought news of added losses and in many cases of new outbreaks. The Tilley child was burned to death when his father's home in Baxter county on the north- ern front, the Ozarks reserve, was swept by flames. Road crews and students from Arkansas Tech. at Russellville, in addition to rangers, were fighting heroically to check the red wall of destruction on the north- ern frontier which extends from Bax- ter county southwest through New- ton county and as far south as Pope. On the western front, the Oua- chita reserve, more than 3500 men were battling scores of fires, which extend from Scott county, south to Polk and east to Montgomery. Encouraging news that many of the older fires were under control was countered by reports of new out- breaks. Two national guafd planes patrolled the area in search of new fires and to drop notes to residents of towns nearby urging men to leave for the front. The lookout posts in the forests were of no value because of the blanket of smoke which hung closely over sections of nine counties. Losses in both reserves have been estimated at about $300,000,000, with millions of dollars worth of pine timber in danger. CPR. MAY ENTER WIRELESS FIELD Interest in England Over Railway's Application to Canadian Government London, April 5. --Interest here 'in cable and wireless developments and the possibilities is increased by the news that the Canadian Pacific Tele- graphs have applied to the Canadiar Government for permission to enter the wireless business on their own account. It is taken for granted here that the decision on this. and a simi- Jar application here by an American Company, will not be made until the Imperial Wireless and Cable Confer- ence reports to the various govern- ments concerned. There is some interest also in the outlook for Canadian Marconi, which operates under a yearly license from the Canadian Government and in the holding company in which the largest statement that in "Canmar" the new sharcowner is said to be the Radio Corporation of America the control of voting shares rests with Lazard Freres, the English bankers who are apparently safeguarding the British control of "Canmar."

FOREST TRIBE IN ENGLAND DYING King of Romany Gipsies Now 85 Years Old Coleford, (Forest of Dean), Eng.-- Ww illiam_ Johns, eighty-five years of age, claims to be "King of the For- est." Nobody disputes it. He is of the Romany tribe, and lives now- adays in a ncat little bungalow at Sling, near here. His forest demesne is the Forest of Dean. "Our race is fast dying out," he said somewhat sadly, "Improved housing and better wages have caused many of our tribe to scttle down during the last twenty years. "The rising generation does not take to the roads. Years ago the Forest of Dean was the real home of our people, but there are only a few encampments to be found there nowadays. "Sometimes the Romanys from Herefordshire come to the land of their fathers in the forest, but they do not stay long. 4 "The police keep them on the move," said the old man "Then, instead of carrying children or wandering on with caravan, they shoulder baskets pegs and go from place to place hy motor 'bus, Wonderiul things them 'buses, though, eh?"

PETERBORO TO ADD TWO MILES PAVED STREETS THIS YEAR a Peterboro,. Apr. 4.--Peterboro's 1928 paving program was out- lined when the City Council at its regular April meeting, ' ordered that notice be given of the inten. tion to pave Belmont and Home- wood avenues, Gilmour, Walton, Leslie, St, Joseph and St. Thomas streets, completing the area be- tween Water and Charlotte streets, west of Park street, and Park street from Wolfe street to Lans- downe, a total in all of slightly more than two miles. The. motion specified that this work be done with asphalt, and was supported by all the aldermen except Ald. Stocker who stated that it was too much work for one year, and opposed the use of aphalt on principle, holding that the city should lay concrete pave- ments by day labor, The proposal to add Reid street from McDonnell street to the city limits, to this year's program, met with general approval. The street will be paved with asphalt, with curbs and gutters, to the top of the hill, just past London street, and from there on will have a twenty foot concrete slab to match the paving to be laid this year on the Chemong road. The paving already planned for this year will cost $67,620.50," of which the city pays $43,394.10, GIRL 1S LEFT BOUND IN BURNING BUILDING Montreal, April 4.--Two armed bandits placed a girl in peril of her life this afternoon when they en- tered the premises of the Maple Leaf Toilet Supply Company on Dorchester Street West, bound and gagged Ethel Clouthier, clerk, and when unable to find any money set {ire to a back room of the office.

"A cloud is hanging over our heads which might wipe out Kap- uskasing, Hearst and Cochrane," stated the Minister. 'All the con- ditions are bad up there." Slash- ings, he said, were left along the railways. He stated that when he went there he felt like asking the railways to "fire" all the men re- sponsible and have all the men in his department from that section dismissed. "I am not exaggerating,' he said, "I am more worried by this than anything I have met in the depart- ment. "The people in the towns are in- different because they do not rea- lize the danger," he continued. "The Bishop promised me he would send out a pastoral letter to the French-Canadians. He proposed to start a publicity campaign im- mediately, ond stated that the Gov- ernment was willing to spend any money necessary to avert the dan- ger. \ Em Sleepless Nights, Bladder Weakness Relief in 24 Hours If your sleep is disturbed by Bladder Weakness, Irritation, Burning Sensation, Backache, Nervousness and Bad Dreams-- due to clogged Kidneys, Prostatic Troubles, or inflammation of the Bladder Urinary Tract, you should try the amazing value of Syrol Tablets at once!
