Sources of ivory.

African ivory is now conceded to
be the finest. The first quality of this
comes from near the equator and it
has been remarked with regard to
this fact that the nearer the equator
the smaller is the elephant, but the
larger the tusks. The ivory from
equatorial Africa is closer in the
grain and has less tendency to become
yellow by exposure than Indian ivory.
The finest transparent African ivory
is collected along the west coast. be
tween latitudes 10 degrees north and
10 degrees south, and this. is be-
lieved to deteriorate in quality and to
be more liable to damage with in
crease of latitude in either direction.
The whitest ivory comes from the east
coast. It is considered to be in best
condition when recently cut. 1t has
then mellow, warm, transparent
tint, as if soaked in oil, and very
little appearance of grain or texture.
Indian ivory has a nobaque white
color and tendency to become dis
colored. OF the Asian varieties Siam
Is considered to be the finest, being
much superior in appearance and
density. The ivory of the mammoth
tusks is not very much esteemed, par
ucularly in England. 1t is consid-
ed to dry and brittle for elaborate
work, besides which it is very liable
to turn yellow. AS a matter of fact,
the largest tusks very rarely leave
Asiatic Russia, being too rotten for
industrial purposes. Chambers

vanta@es over Present styles.
An article in the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal for Oct. n on
the subject of a cork pavement is at
tracing much attention at the north,
and it is not unlikely to bs followed
by practical results in having such a
pavement laid eXperimcntally in diff
ferent cities OF the United States. AL
though the laying OF such a pavement
in th.s country would be an expert
ment, the paving in gu stiOn has got &.
long way beyond the experimental
stage. both IN Australia, where it Was
nrst introduced, and in Great Britain.
the streets in Melbourne and Sydney,
and more recently many blocks both
Ill London and EdInburg. have been
laid with this kind of pavement. and
the results obtained in both parts OF
the world have given nigh satisfaction.
In London and Edinburg it has been
laiu mostly in the streets around hos
pItals and churches with an especial
view to ueaGen the sound OF traffic,
and it has accomplished its object eX-
cellently we'll. Neither wood nor as
phalt approaches cork paving in its
noiselessness, and the CORK paving has
apparently ether qualifications which
may render it strong rival TO any
of the kinds of material that are now
used in raving the streets.
This designation cork pavemen.s y
says the writer in the Boston Medical

mIsnomer, for the material consists of
granulated cork mixed with mineral
asphalt and other cohesive ingredients
compressed into large blocks. Strict
ly speaking, then, these bricks are
formed of Il mixture of which cork is
the most characteristic and important
element. The advantage alleged IN
behalf of this combination are cleanh-
ness, n0iseieSSneSS, durability, elastic
ity. freedom from sllppcriness whether
dry or wet, and moderate cost. Unlike

for fast running as do race horses.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
builds its own engines, and those bulIt
for express trains are known as class
p. They are very large, and built,
with lIghtvariatlons. after the pattern
OF the big English engine imported in
to this country several years ago, and
which at that time was a curiosity in
its way. When one of these big en-
gInes is taken out of the shop to be
placed on the road, instead of putting
it to the work it was intended for at
once, it runs for two erthree weeks on
some of the local branches. in order
to train it. so to speak. for faster
running. By this means all the bear
ings and journals connected with the
running gear become settled to their
work, for should anything about the
new machine not work harmoniously
there is ample time to adjust the de-
feet. Usually the new engine proves
troublesome on account of its propen-
sity to make fast time. and at almost
every station the train is found to be
little ahead of schedule time, and
must wait for from ten seconds to a
minute. No. 1S0 of class P will be
running one day on an accommoda-
ten train, but will soon be flying over
the road as an express at the rate, in
many places, of mile minute.-Phil-

THE STUDENTS RERELLED.
state University Boys Take n Holi-
day of Their Own Making.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 1.-THE uni
versity boys are making merry over a
holiday which they have created them
selves. a few nights ago thirty men,
bers of the Agricultural Club moved
the planks of broken walk which has
been the subject of fight between the
law and medical schools from the
campus to the front of their clubhouse
to bridge over the mud. The Disci-
pline Committee of the faculty ar
rainged the culprits, and on their own
Confession suspended them from
school for period of two days.
The notice of suspension of thirty
men was posted late yesterday evening
and caused a storm of protest from
the students. Committees canvassed
the town last night, and a crowd If
400 students met at the chapel this
morning. Immediately after chapel
the students spoke and asked that the
action of the Discipline Committee be
rescinded. President Jesse told them
he had no power in the matter.
Then the cry rose that they would
take a holiday and accompany their
suspended comrades. So. 400 strong.
they went out of the chapel. formed a
procession, and headed by the band
with banner inscribed "A procession
of indignation against the unjust and
unreasable action of the Discipline
Committee, they marched over town
in a very peaeeable manner. and after
cheering and visiting the female col
leges, they have now dispersed to go

TRAMP tO--,US I'm WEALTH.
Found $2O,OUO " hIch Had Been
Hidden by Train Robbers,

Found $2O,OUO INCH Had Been
Hidden by Train Kobbcrs.
! SACRAMENTO, CAL, February I3.-
John p. Harmens. Il tramp, 80 years
of age, who, Dy his confession. re-
covered over $4,000 that was hidden
by tram robbers Il year ago. is locked
up in the jail in this city. For months
he has been living in San Francisco
on the fat OF the land from the pro-
cceds OF the money taken from the
Overland express near Sacramento
by Jack Brady ana Browning over Il
year ago. The prisoner has turned
over to the police $1,000 which he had
in tie German Savings Bank in San
Francisco. S.. 500 in securities, n dia-
mond ring and diamond collar but
ton.
Harmens found the money hidden
under a clump of bushes near Sacra-
mentO. where the robbers who held up
the train had buried it. Il is known
that the robbers obtained over $50, 900
from the Wells-F Fargo Company, but
Harmens did not find all of the plumb
er. He says he obtained only 800. 600,
but it is believed that these figures
are rather under the exact amount
This conclusion is based on the fact
that when Brady. one of the bandits,
confessed and took the officers to the
place where the money was buried,
only $4,000 was found. Harmens had
evidently taken the rest of the treas
IRE before the officers arrived.
Harmens was arrested in San Fran
cisco Saturday and brought to this
city last night. In appearance he is
a typical tramp. Among his friends
he is known as Dutch Charley"
After he found the money he went to
San Francisco, where he loaned a
great deal to responsible business
men. But he was not miserly, as it
is said that he lived life of luxury
seldom dreamed of by the average
tramp. He bought the most elegant
clothes for himself, making a trip to
New York for the purpose, and the
tramp was transformed into a regular
fashion-plate.

TALKING AGAINST TIME.
Senator Tillman Makes an Accusa-
ton Against Senator Hill.

ton Against Senator Hill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-There was
a sharp CONTROVERSY in the Senate
over the PETER resolution to investi-
gate recent bond issues. Mr.. Lodge
Rep. of Massachusetts moved an
amendment to have the Committee on
Finance make the Investigation.
Mr.. Hill Dem. of New York op-
posed the resolution, declaring that
the Senate should not dignity vague
rumors by investigation. as it had
done the charges that Senators spec
ulated N sugar stocks.
When Mr.. Hill said that no charges
had BEEN made against the President
or Secretary OF the Treasury, Mr..
Stewart Pop. of Nevada said that
he would make charges.
There was an angry passage be-
tween Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Tillman
Dem. ).of South Carolina. because Mr..
Hill refused to be interrupted. Mr..
Tillman accused Mr.. Hill of talking
against time to kill the resolution.
AS no action was taken upon it at =
O'Clock under the rules it went to the
bottom of the calendar.
