Ivory Dust.

Ivory dust for jelly is sold in London
at sixpence per pound. It is the waste
which results from the manufacture Of
ivory into various articles, and a work
shop will accumulate, according to
amount of output, from five to six
pounds Of dust in week. The proper
tions are one pound Of dust to quart
of water, boiled for eight or ten hours.
The product is clear 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 are used largely in
place Of it. There is vegetable ivory,
the seed Of a low growing palm in
South America, each,seed about the size
Of hens egg, and various artificial
worries, a compound Of caoutchouc, sui
phur and some white substance, pipe
clay, gypsum or oxide of zinc, or, more
simple still, mixture Of skimmilk
and borax, which, compressed, forms in
to 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-
ton. London Letter.
