Ivory dust for jelly is sold III London
at sixpence per pound. 1t is the waste
which results from the manufacture Of
ivory into various articles, and a work
shop will accumulate, according ia
amount of output. from five to six
pounds of dust in a week. The proper
tions are one pound Of dust to quart
of water, boiled for eight or ten hours.
The product is a cleaI jelly, which Is
strained and favored TO taste or diluted
for the purpose of soup.
But the stock Of elephant ivory is dy
ing out; substitutes aie used largely III
place of it. There is vegetable ivory,

to a cream colored block, and may be
used in place of native African ivory,
which it closely resembles.
Thus even when the elephant becomes
as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly may
still keep up, if not add to, its reputa-

Birds are commonly credited with an
extraordinary range of vision. Circum-
stances lend aid to the development of
the mental factors in their case. The
usual distance at which terrestrial
species use their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon. But in the case of the
soaring birds, such as vultures and
eagles, the horizon, the natural limit of
sight, is enormously extended.
Macgillivray early noted that though
birds of prey have orbits of great size
the eyeball of the common buzzard be-
ing n inches in diameter-they do
not, as a rule, soar when seeking their
prey.
The eagle when hunting flies low,
just as do the sparrow hawk and the
henharrier. Yet the vnltuTes and con-
doris, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find carrion by sight, a carcass was

their appearance an hour before sun

that the intense mental activity which
it was necessary to display while en-
gagged in a combat on the board often
led him to unconsciously do ridiculous
things when the game was over.
"EOr instance, he said, lit IS not
an uncommon thing for me, when walk
ing home in the evening after several
games Of chess at my club. to imagine
that am one of the pieces ca the board.

thinking about something else, | VIII

step upon the lines that divide them.
Again. the idea that l am knight will
seize me, and those who walk behind
me are convulsed with laughter to see
me take step forward, and one to one

a dignified method of progress.
