Will All tho Elephants Be Kill.dY

| When we take into consideration
tho largo quantity of ivory import.
ed annually, it is not surprising that
those interested in it should at times
become somewhat anxious about fu.
turo supplies. An authority upon
Indian matters somo few years back
was particularly struck by this
thought, and wrote:
1T is reported that England alone
imports 1900, 600 pounds of ivory,
to obtain which 10000 elephants
have to be annually killed, and. tho
worlds supply must, it has been es-
timatod, necossitato 100, 600 being
annually slaughtered. 1t may safe.
ly DO assumed that, if this rule Of
destruction continues, a compare.
lively few years will suffice to ex-
terminate the African species of ele.
phant."
Tho assumption is. fortunately for
the world at largo, quite incorrect.
AS matter of fact, our imports av.
erage about the same year by year,
but there is very important factor
which the Indian authority just
quoted has evidently overlooked
namely, that most of the ivory that
we receive is technically known al
dead ivory-that is, tusks which
have boen taken fl tom elephants long
animals, we do nddSE HddEas s%ivI'ss, ~ ssss; comps..-
lively speaking, considerable guam
tity. There is no fear whatever Of
the supply being exhausted during
tho next two or threo generations.

An important figure in tho bcgin-
nlngs of the English novel is Mrs.
Aphra Behn QGl0-1CS9), whose pcr-

! as any of her stories. Her father. a
Mr.. johnson, had influence enough
to get himself appointed lieutenant

and children with him. Mr.. John

but "Oroonoko' contains orc or
two passages whcro an attompt is

careless and picturesque power"
but possibly tho second cpithnt is
less deserved than tho first. Moro.
over, ono Is bound TO say that Mrs.
Echn's imagination IS ant to cntcr
INTO tho record OF her experiences.
When, after her return to Eng.

her adventures to Charles II, she

of what she saw on her VOYAGE from

among those that go down TO the
sea in ships have seen floating on
