the moaning Of the icy blasts amid the snow
covered hills. Sometimes the snow did not
melt before July, and in many places it lay on
the ground all the year. The ground was also
permanently frozen a foot or two below the
surface, and beneath there was often found
solid and perpetual ice.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, enormous
quantities of ivory were still taken every year
from these wonderful islands. One ivory hun
ter in 1921 brought away 10000 pounds of
ivory from New Siberia alone, and in 1886 Co.
600 pounds of fossil ivory, which came chiefly
from the New Siberian and Liakof Islands,
were sold at Yakutsk. Middendorff some years
later calculated that every year 10000 pounds
of fossil ivory were sold in the markets $4,000
of this amount being sold at 1akutsk alone
the market at this place being supplied chiefly
from New Siberia, where the quantity of fossil
ivory still seemed to be nexhaustible.

RECENT LITERATURE.

PUSSY AND HER LANGUAGE. By Marvin r.
Clark Published by tI,.- assiii or and for sale by
him at the New York Press Club, New York
City. Price 80 cents.
Marvin r. Clark is q man of 40 years. ex-
perience in newspaper work in New York City.
When we learned that after becoming totally
blind six years ago he mastered the typewriter
and continued his work upon it without any
change in the machine, although he never be-
fore had used the typewriter it seemed marvel
Gus and was commented upon by newspapers
throughout the world. But Mr. Clark's day Of
wonderful things has not ended. for he has just
issued new book of great interest. advancing
and proving the existence of a language of COM
mum ication of thought between the members of
the cat family. He not only proves such a
language to be in vogue, but gives many cat
words in common use by household pet,
defining them clearly. He shows the manner
of construction and development of the lam
gnage In this respect the work is unique, but
tho book is also interesting from beginning TO
end, for the wonderful stories related of the
cat by the most reliable foreign and American
naturalists. The beautiful characteristics of
the cat shown III high colors. The author
claims that the cat will be found superior to
the dog in most respects il given the same OPP
portunities, and her geutleness of movement
and touch, her gracefulness. her faithfulness,
patience. usefulness. good nature, carefulness.
honesty and solcitude for the family to which
she is attached, are traits which commend her
to the favorable notice which she has not here
tofore received. He says that her usefulness is
demonstrated in ridding the house of rodents
and other vermin, in being an object of admira-
tion in telling by her eyes the time of day in
good naturally amusing tho children, in being
the best known barometer, and in many other
ways The Cat Show held this month in New
York was a great success and had for patrons
the most aristocratc ladies and gentlemen of
the city. Mr.. Clark's work is first to appear in
defense of the feline. He claims that language
is of divine origin, and that God not only gave
to man the power OF speech, but that all ami
mails are endowed with the same power. He
emphasizes the great Importance of a descrip-
tive language and the use of it by the cat. If
you want to know what your cat knows and
the secrets she can tell the world if you desire
to assure yourself that the cat has carried away
the skeleton from the closet; if you love the
feliie and wish to read good things about her;
if you would enjoy reading what her earnest
defender has to say of her slanderers uttered
against her; and if your heart prompts you to
encourage an old writer. totally blind, with

On Lakofs death the Russian Government,
In 1905. granted the monopoly OF the trade i'm
the ivory islands to Siroyatsko merchant
who had settled at Yakutsk, who sent his
agent. Ssunikef, TO explore the islands
and to try 10 discover new deposits Of fossil
ivory. Ssnnikoff discovered 10 the east Of
kotelnoi another large island. which he called
Fadeyelskoi; and in 1906 Sirovatskoi's son
discovered a third large island. still further to
the east. which was afterward called New ST.
IBERIA. These newly discovered islands were
like the former full OF fossil ivory.
IN 1909 Count ROmanzoff sent NJ. Hcdenstrom
20 explore the islands, fitting him out at his own
expense. Hedenstrom reached Lis3loff7s first
Island and was amazed At the prOdigious stores
OF fossil ivory it contained: for although the
ivory hunters bad for 40 years regularly carried
away each year large quantities of ivory from
the island. the supply Of ivory in it appeared
10 be not in the least diminished.
In about half mile HedeBstrom saw 10 tusks
OF elephants sticking up in the sand and gravel
and large sand bank on the west coast Of the
island always covered with elephants
tusks after gale, leading him 10 hope that
there was an endless amount of ivory under the
sea
Hedenstrom and Sanikof went on 10 Kotcl-
moi and New Siberia, and they found the hills
in the former islands absolutely covered with
