A century's Supply of Ivory Heap
ed Up I'm the Interior OF Africa.

A century's Supply OF Ivory Heap
ed Up In the Interior OF Africa.
"trhe ivory trade shows a most re-
markable increase" Commercial
Agent Mohun writes from the Congo
to the State Department. Ivory is
the most valuable article exported.
1t ALL comes from the High Congo,
both north and south of the river.
Steamers bring it as far as Stanley
Pool, and from there to Matadi $3.50
miles) native carriers bring it on their
backs. have seen in one day 500
carriers come into Matadi, each man
carrying tusk averaging sixty-five
pounds in weight. When tusks weigh
two hundred pounds, which not in
frequently happens, four men carry
them.
"Most of the ivory now coming
down is known as dead ivory Some
of the elephants from which these
tusks came were killed one hundred
years ago, and the kings of villages
have been placing the last tusks
brought in on top of the pile, and
when they required some goods from
the cost traders the tusks from the
bottom layers were taken. This sys-
tenn has prevailed for years. and it is
estimated that there is enough ivory
stored in the interior to supply the
world for the next century. 1t is es-
timated, but upon whose authority
cannot discover, that there are still
at least 100000 elephants in Central
Africa.
'The only live or new, ivory
which now comes down is that pro-
cured by hunters attached to the diff
ferent trading houses. I may add
that live ivory commands higher
price than the dead A State expedi-
ton visited a native King some
months ago in the interior. Upon
leaving the commanding officer pre-.
sented the King with uniform coat,
cooked hat and sword. The King, in
return, presented the officer with $50
tusks of ivory, averaging 22O pounds
each, and provided carriers to take
them to the river. These people do
not recognize the value, and laugh at
the trader for buying. Some of these
Kings have stockades of ivory built
around their dwellings"

Partisan Detectives Are Not Snowy
and Therefore More Efficient.
Partisan thief-takers are chiefly no.
ticable for an exceptionally ordinary
appearance, if one may use the express
sion. 1t is rather disappointing at
first sight to any one who knows de-
tective literature; but to look ordin-
airy and not to be so is obviously a
great merit in the business, when you
come to think of it. One of them pulls
out of his pocket specimen of the
homely instrument which does duty
for handouts among these men.
They call it g. cabriolet, or more
correctly, ligoette, and it consists of
some twenty inches of whipcord, with
a small piece ofwood. at either end.
The cord is passed around the prison
er's wrists and twisted together. The
thing is more efficient than might
be supposed, and your true
Partisan thief taker takes q
certain pride in using simple means.
He is great at ready-made and in
genious devices. One plan with a
troublesome captive is to take off one
of his boots, which makes him limp;
another is to unfasten his clothes so
that he is obliged to use at least one
hand in holding them up.
The men make their own ligottes,
and sometimes produce a more for
midable article by using strong wire in
loops instead of whipcord. But the
real master hand disdains even the
ligoette; he carries nothing whatever,
no matter where he goes. With the
majority of the criminals his mere
personal influence suffices to impose
obedience, and when he meets with a
desperate character he prefers to trust
to his good right hand rather than
any weapon of offense.

Charges for Big Guns.

There are nine 110-ton guns in the
British navy at the present time. The
projectile fired from these guns whea
attacking ships or forts weighs exact
" 1900 pounds, and leaves the muzzle
with u velocity of 2,105 feet per sec
ond, and has q destructive energy
equal to 55,305 foot tons. When these
monster engines of death are to be
turned upon an army of men or a
flotilla of ships they are loaded with
cylinders of steel, each of which is
filled with 1900 four-ounce bullets.
The amount of powder used behind
such projectiles is something enormous

DISEASE IN ANIMALS.
Fish Have Cancers and Tumors 30
Have Birds and Reptiles.

EDaN0 DEAD CAh~ nSpkhS5s
A contemporary states that cancer
is reported to have made it's appear
ance in one OF the ponds OF the Dun
din Acclimatization society OF New
Zealand. American brook trout only
have been attacked, and none OF the
fish suffering from cancer have recov-
cred. The statement that the disease
has hitherto been unknown among
fish is open to serious doubt. New
gowths are often found in animals,
especially when they have been kept
long in confinement. The animals
which die in the gardens of the Zoo
logical society are rarely of much use
for dissection, as they so commonly
suffer from tumors of the bones and
viscera.
Such diseases, probably, also occur
in state of nature, but would most
likely lead to early death, the animal
succumbing in the struggle for exist
ence. In fish myxomatous and sar-
comatous tumors have been seen.
The fish platax arthriticus has been
known from the time of Hunter, as
possessing commonly, if not always,
in the adult dense bony tumors sym.
metrically disposed on many of its
bones. Reptiles and birds appear to
be the lower animals that are most
subject to malignant sarcomatous
groWths.

Rearing Early Lambs.
The most profit is made from the
quickest sale of any product, and es.
pecially of such as must be fed ex-
pensively. And there is no quicker
product and none other that Is SO
profitable as the early lamb One
sells for as much in May as two in
November, and the farmer not only
gets the better price but he saves twice
or even four times the feeding. Any
large town or city furnishes the mar
ket for them, and the early sales make
it possible to fatten the ewes after the
lambs are sold and market them out
of the way for another flock in the
fall The kind of lamb, however, b
to be thought of.
The best Of all Ia q cross of Shrop
shire ram on native ewes-that is con.
sidering the profit, for the pure lamk
is to be preferred before the cross,
were it not that the pure ewes are toe
costly to be made into mutton as with
the common ones. And the disposal
of the ewes, and the less first cost
make the larger profit The ewes
should be purchased early in Septem.
Der so that the lambs may come not
later than in February, and if the
flock is gathered in August, so much
the better, for the earlier they are il
the market the more they bring. II
this business one has three dividends,
and the first cost returned within a
year; the lambs the fleece, the profit
of the ewes and the first cost returned.
This is profitable business. -Ameri.

To Make the Name and Tail Grow.

Mr.. Findley, veterinary editor OF tn
New York Sportsman gives the follow
ing treatment to make a horses name
and tail grow and to prevent their
falling out: Rubbing the name and
tail usually results from an unhealthy
condition of the skin, which in most
cases is caused by neglect of grooming,
ar by bad food, or by any sudden
change of diet from bad to good. oc-
casionally, however, it appears in
stables where grooming and food are
unquestionahly good Damaged oats
or hay are very ready causes for this
annoying affection. In every case,
therefore, the food should be carefus
ly examined. Young horses, on com
ing into stables, sometimes suffer from
irritation of the skin, probably from
change of diet Horses recovering
from fever frequently lose
large portion of the hair
from the name and the tail In the
latter case it seems to ARISE from an
impoverished state of the blood. In
regard to the treatment, If any posi-
tive cause, such as damaged food, or
neglected grooming can be ascertaine5

How to Fail with Poultry.

To fail in the chicken business, clean
your hen house once year. II your
chickens have lice, let them alone. If
you can find only one kind, borrow
from your neighbor and start right.
If there are any cracks in the house,
don't close them, as you may wish to
ascertain what roup and sore head are.
In case the roup appears, just let it
run; it will stop after awhile and SO
will the chickens, and then you can
boast that chickens don't pay. For
drink in summer, keep a cess-pool on
hand; if you have none, by all means
make one. If your fowls get cholera,
simply give nothing; perhaps they will
get on all right; can't assure this, but
it's part of how to fail. says CORE
spondent Of Farm and Home. Let
your fowls roost in trees, and if you
have no trees but up poles ten or
twelve feet from the ground, as the
higher you get the purer and colder
the air. Again, you need not pay any
attention to the nests; the hens will
look out for themselves If one should
hatch abroad let her hover near a
pasture so the little chicks can go in
the dew and catch the gapes, you then
save feed, for they will not eat for
some time, as it will require all their
time to open and shut their mouths.
