Made from Walrus Tusks.


''Whsre do false teeth come from"
said q well-known bone importer, echo
Ing . question that had put to him.
Wouldn't you like to knew. Most
people, / imagine, think that all false
teeth are made from ivory. That Is
quite q mistaken idea, as the majority
Of false teeth are now made from any
thing but ivory. We import large guam
titles of walrus' tusks for no other pur-
pose than that they may be made into
false teeth. You go into some big den
tsl establishment where teeth are made
and you will doubtless find the remains
Of walrus' tusks lying around, and, in
deed, q highly polished tooth made
from n walrus tusk Is just as hand
some, although not so lasting, as an
ivory one.
"A dentist once came to me for an
elephants tusk, from which a good set
of permanent teeth might be made for
n wealthy client of his. He was to
spare no expense found him n tusk,
which being an especially good one, l
sold for $3.50 a pound, the usual price
being from $3.50 to $3.50 per pound.
I nfterward learned that the dentist
made 500 out Of that set of teeth.
"Of course, it would be impossible
for dentists to sell teeth so cheaply as
they do now If the teeth were all made
from elephants tusks. AS matter OF
fact. so many people are now wearing
false teeth that l doubt II the ivory
suitable for this purpose would ever be
found l am told good many false
teeth are 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 an
absurdly low sum. A set of teeth for
S1.25," concluded the dealer, laughing,
would create a boom in false teeth

Many children and some Of an older

In every other night, and In the morn

Cyclone DriI,s In Kans.s,

Fire drill is a great event in every
Chicago school, but out in Kansas there
isn't so much danger from fire as from
cyclones, and so the pupils in the pub
lie schools are treated to cyclone drills.
And very exciting they are, too. When
the alarm is sounded all the children
rise to their feet, and to the music of
march played on the piano they parade
out Of the schoolhouse in good order
and make for the nearest open space in
the prairie to escape the flying tmbers
of the buildings, treetops and other OBJ
jects, as the cyclone sweeps them to
the ground. OF course 1t Is not alto
gether safe even on the prairie, and SO
Kansas people are discussing the ad-
visa ability of building cyclone cellars
under each of their schoolhOuses. Then
when the alarm comes the children can
be marched downstairs. where they
will find protection, even If the wind
carries the building entirely away.

An International Postage Stamp.
Supposing you were to write letter
10 some business firm in Canada and
wanted an answer very much, indeed.
If the firm was in this country you
could inclose n postage stamp and ask
for q reply. but going to Canada n
United States postage stamp would bc
Of no use and you would have TO de
pend upon the courtesy of the Cana
iian firm.
This fact has led many prominent
people, who are interested In a better
postal service, to recommend a uni
versal postage stamp. which could be
bought in any civilized country and
used in any other country. In this way
all sorts OF foreign business would be
greatly helped, and the stamp cOllec-
tors would have a new set of stamps
for their collections. The plan was
brought before the recent international
postage congress. and 1t may be adopt
ed before many years have passed.
