REFRESHING chattel Mortgage Sharks.

Some Boston business men have recently
completed n five years experiment OF interest
to every large city. They united to suppress
the chaticl mortgage sharks. They formed
company, or association, to loan money to the
classes " no usually fall victims TO the sharks.
AT the time the business men entered the
field these lenders were charging the borrow
ers on chattel mortgages from to 10 per
cent. per n onth. The association adopted
uniform rate Of per cent per month. 1t re-
duired that with every payment OF interest
the borrower must make small payment
about per cent-on the principal. Since it
has been doing business the association has
loaned over S500,000 on chattel mortgages.
Fourteen hundred and ninety borrowers have
been accommodated. Loans have been re-
paid very fast averaging about eighteen
months The usual experience with the shark
is that of becoming deeper and deeper In
debt. Last year the association paid a 8 per
cent dividend. The object Is not to make
money however. 1t is to earn fair pay on
the Investment, and to take away the occupa-
ton of the shark. Robert Treat Paine is the
president of the association. Herald.

The Slaughter of Elephants.

In Zanzibar alone some 100000 pounds Of
ivory are brought every season TO the market
There are tusks among them weighing from
100 TO 100 pounds and even more, but oil
course the tusks are mostly small, for 1t is
much easier TO trap or Kill a young elephant
than an old one. Let US say that on an aver
age every tusk weighs twenty to twenty-five
pounds. The tusks of 10000 elephants are
brought annually to Zanzibar. Elephants In
Africa are mostly killed with poisoned ar
rows Perhaps 80 per cent. break away 10
die in the Jungle, where their tusks are never
found. So perhap' 10000 elephants have
been sacrificed to get the ivory for the Ianzi-
bar market alone Besides this lot oil ivory
is used in the interior fot all kinds OF domes-
tic purposes. The tusks are used Tor gram
poundcrs etc, while ornaments are common
iy fashioned of ivory. There are even Chief.

pisappearance of an Island.

Expedition island is no more. Your
map shows it lying on the northwest
coast of Australia, about twenty-five
miles from the mainland. When it
fourished in all its glory, as it has since
time out of memory, 1t was beautiful
tract of land, thirteen miles long and
one and half to two miles broad. The
Swedish trader Laemstrom visited it
early in the spring of 1892, and the
Dutch naturalists of the Thignig gath
cred rare botanical specimens and col
lected many hundred sets of eggs, to
say nothing of the many other objects
of natural history, during the months
of May and June last year. A vessel
was sailing in those parts quite recent
ly when the officers remarked the alb
sence of the island. The captain or
dered that soundings be made. All
around thousands of feet of water was
found. Finally, upon observing that
there were no signs of breakers on the
former site of the island, he ordered
that they sail directly across where the
island had formerly been. Soundings
were again taken, which resulted in
finding that the island had only sunk
to depth of forty-eight feet below the
surface 1t was one of the largest
islands on the Australian coast and its
sudden subsistence is mystery.
