over all the parts OF the horn except such as
are proper TO be left transparent, in order 10

parts greatly increase the be auty OF the work,

who do not make study OF the tortoise shell
will have some difficulty IN distinguishing the
genuine from the imitation, bus those who are
experts say that they distinguish the imitation
from the real by the fact that the latter Is al
ways finer and clearer than The former.
