FALSE TEETH,
How They Arc Made and of What Ma
terial They Are Composed.

How They Arc Made and of What Ma
terinl They Are Composed.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Where do false teeth come from?" said
well-knovn bone importer, echoing a
question that had put to him. ''Wouldn' t
you like to know? Most people, imagine,
think that all false teeth are made from
ivory. That is quite a mistaken idea as
the majority of false teeth are now made
from anything but ivory. We import large
quantities of walrus' tusks for no other
purpose than that they may be made into
false teeth. You go into some big dental
establishment where teeth are made and
you will doubtless find the remains of wal
rus tusks lying around, and, indeed, a
highly polished tooth made from a walrus
tusk is just as handsome, although not so
lasting, as an ivory one.
"A dentist once came to me for an ele-
plants tusk, from which a good set Of
permanent teeth might be made for a
wealthy client of his. He was to spare no
expense. l found him a tusk, which. being
IN especially good one, l sold for $3.50 a
pound, the usual price being from $3.50 to
$3.50 per pound. 1 afterward learned that
the dentist made $500 out Of that set of
teeth.
"Of course, 1t would be impossible for
dentists to sell teeth SO cheaply as they do
now If the teeth were all made from ele-
plants tusks. AS a matter of fact, so
many people are now wearing false teeth
that I doubt If the ivory suitable for this
purpose would ever be found. l am told
good many false teeth are now being
made from vegetable ivory, ivorine, etc
If so, the price of teeth must naturally go
down, and in time the toothless one will
probably be able to replenish his mouth for
$1.25.' concluded the dealer, laughing,
would create boom in false teeth

Watch-Ea ting Fish.
ON the Lewiston Journal.


The Lincoln News tells this SO naively
that we haven't the heart to say word:
"a singular incident took place the other
Cay en- Damariscotta lake which shows the
voracity Of the bass in that lake. A party
from the Kennebec were fishing from a
beat. when one of them caught the end Of
his fish pole in his watch guard. and flung
his gold watch overheard into forty feet Of
water. About an hour after, and quarter
OF a mile distant. they caught slx-pound-
er, and noticing his fullness and peculiar
appearance, he was opened and there was
the gold watch, still going" The News
raconteur should patch up a fishing trip
with that gifted prevaricator who writes
for the Dexter Gazette. The Gazette mans
hero lost his watch and didn't recover it
for many months. 1t was still running
however. The timepiece had stuck In the
fsh's throat, and every trneshe swallowed
snythiEg the object slid over the stem
winding nub and gave 1t a twist. If those
two men should go off together we would
get something worth reading.

"Well, il he don't get out of the waS- I'm

Swansea is the proud possessor of one Of
the largest dredgers to be found on our

Rhondda were paying a visit to the pier
the other day, and for one of the number
the endless row of buckets seemed to pos

While the others went off to enjoy them
selves at the Mumbles or elsewhere, Shoni
would not bulge an inch, but kept his gaze
firmly fixed on the dredger.
About in the evening his friends found
him still on the same spot. Telling him
the train would leave without him If he

BROOKLYN BRIDGE

For nearly five years ! have been go
ing over the Brooklyn Bridge night and
day, and il seems To me that every few
days see something In the arrangement
OF the details Of The structure that |
never saw before. II Is constant de-
light TO watch the bridge under the
varying conditions that affect IL from
day To day One can see. for example,
how carefully the wires for the electric
lights are strung. They are almost with
in reach OF any person walking across
the structure, and vet there IL absolute
ly no danger from them. IL Is interest
ing TO watch the bracing OF the
structure, how the big and little
stays slope now this way aud that, and
TO note just where they change In their
slsntiug direction. 1t is also interesting
at the dead OF night 10 see the workmen
splice one OF the car cables, taking
out some broken strand and weaving In
another.
| was talking with one of the guards
recently, who had been on the bridge
since the day Il was opened. He said
that early one morning, In the first high
wind that came after the opening, he
looked over TO the New York side and
apparently saw one Of the biggest chin
news In town bending this way and thst,
and he stood there transilxed, waiting
for IL To fall. II didn't fall, although II
bent far over. and he thought 1t must be
wonderful mortar that could hold so
many bricks together. Suddenly he
noticed that the chimney was exactly In
a line with one Of the vertical strands
from the cables, and he saw nj once that
IL Was the bridge and not the chimney
that was swsying. The guard was un-
prepared for such situation. OF course
the bridge was moving only few inches
trop side to side, but when this man
measured by chimney mile away 1t
seemed TO move ms much AS the chimney
apparently had been moving.-Harper's

wANTED TO sORROW HIM.

4 genial Philadelphia, who for obyi-
ous reasons does not care TO have his
name printed on this occasion. secured a
psrlor car seat on an express train for
Reading few days ago. aud as he was
about 10 pass through the gates was
surprised TO hear himself accosted in
feminine tones with the somewhat start
ling question: please, mister, could !
borrow YOU for while:"
Looking around. he found two buxom
women, who hastily and hesitatingly ex-
planned that they were riding on pass
made out In the name of a gentleman and
his wife, and, as the gentleman was not
present. they wanted the genial-looklng
citizen to place his bought ticket AT the
disposal OF one lady aud take the other
one under his wing, while he personated
the absent owner OF the pass.
(which is my wifey" he inquired with
an inward qualm, lest his own absent
better half should ever hear the story.
"You can take your choice, sir" said
the lady Ia search OF an escort, and he
promptly did so by tucking the arm OF
the Youngest tair one under his own and
leading her TO the ear. The couple
proved to be right jolly travelling com
panions. and the citizens only regret in
the transaction was due 10 fear that
the story might leak out and get home
ahead of him.

PARADISE At THE NORTH PoLel
MANY BIOLOGISTS CONTEND THAT THE
GARDEN or EDEN WAS IN THE ARC
TIC REGIONS.

In an int resting and highl Instructive
article, Edward 5. Martin, In the OctO-
Der Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the
numerous theories advanced by scien-
lists In the endeavor to solve the per-
picking problem rs TO exact location OF
the site OF the Garden Of Eden. After
sitting the theories the writer concludes
that the question Is no nearer answered
than II was 1000 years ago, and that
there are no present indications that the
matter will ever be definitely settled by
any man. To one Of the latest and most
ingenious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers: The north pole will seem at first
thought to the average investigator the
most unlikely site on earth for Paradise
TO have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books have been
written in support Of the north poles
pretensions. The north pole now
adays Is bitter cold, but 1t has not al
ways been so. Biologists tell us that
the earth was excessively hot when IL
first began its course-much too hot 10
admit Of the presence Of any living
creatures, except, perhaps, salamsni der.
AS 1t grew cooler vegetation began on
It, and then II began TO be peopled. first
with fishes, and then with birds and
beasts; finally with man. The first
spot on earth to get cool enough to
use WAS the north pole. In the process
of time II got too cold, but there must
have been long period when the polar
region was the most comfortable part oil
the world. During this period, many
eminent geologists believe, there existed
around the north pole continent now
submerged, and that on that continent
our progenitors were comfortable In
their first home. II Is known with entire
certainty that the polar region was once
warm enough for tropical vegetation To
grow there. There was light enough,
also, for such Observation-Disclosures
light, indeed, for all uses, and plenty
for primeval man. Geology tells us that
man might have lived at the north pole,
