GEOLOGICAL WoNDER.-About thirty
years ago somebody made the discove-
ry that the ice fields Of Siberia con-
tanned immense numbers OF fossils oil
elephants and mastodons. Where they
came from or how they got there, is a
problem which perhaps may never be
solved; their existence, however, was
no crimea, and as ivory is one Of the
valuable commodities of trade in ma
tions, some utilitarian EngIishmsn con-
ceived the idea OF turning these vestiges
of former epoch to profitable account.
Accordingly about the year 1885,
Thompson, Donner d Co., q rich Lon
don firm, fitted out an expedition to
seek for ivory in the Siberian ice
Novel and incredible as il seemed, the
expedition crowned with complete sue
cess. The ships returned to England
richly laden with choice ivory; and
even to the present time, although the
world knows little about it, the ivory
market is mainly supplied from the
ice fields Of Siberia.
