for While applying this general prin- ciple, the adjustment of the various claims is yet to be made according to the circumstances of each.
 It is understood that the British and German authorities are agreed on the general principles that the lombard ment and naval claims should be re- imbursed. This, however, it is assert ed, imposes no obligation on Germany to share in meeting the claims, as the German forces did not participate in the bombardment It is said, also, that no proposition has been made to have Germany pay a part of the dam age done by the Mataafa forces. The course of the United States :las not yet been fully determined, either as t0 the bombardment or the claims arising from native depredatiols.
 So far as known, all the claims un- der consideration are for property loss, these being mop resent basis for es- timating claims for the loss Of life among the British-American forces during the operations.

EBONIES OF DIFFERENT HUES.
Several Varieties of African Trees
Yield the Wood.

From the Jewellers Weekly.
Ebony was known and highly esteemed
by the anCients as an article of luxury and
was used by them for variety of pur-
poses. In India it is said that it was en-
ployed by kings for scepters and also for
images. On account of its supposed an
tagonism to poisons it was used largely for
drinking cups. Its use has been extended
continuously down to the present time, and
in England, as well as on the continent it
has always been held in high esteem by
the wealthy for toilet articles and boxes.
In France particularly the manufacture f
ebony goods has attained a high degree of
perfection. Within few years its use in
the United States has increased remark
ably, in a large measure, no doubt, on ac-
count of its combination with silver, which
is believed to have originated in this coun-
try. The striking contrast of the dead
black of the wood and the brilliant white
of the silver has from the outset commend
ed 1t to the American public. This COM
bination, 1t is said, has now been intro
duced into England and other European
countries.
The silver mounting of the ebony gives
scope for the taste and originality OF the
silversmith. The style of decoration most
frequently used on the larger pieces con-
sists of a border of scrolls, of flowers, or of
a combination of scrolls and floral designs
The variety and degree of elaboration of
the borders shown are almost endless.
Sometimes the border extends only half
way round the edge of the article. A silver
shield, on which the initials of the owner
may be engr, we'd, is generally placed in the
center of the piece. This shield is OCCASION
ally replaced by a monogram, more or less
elaborate, which may be the only mount
Ing used. Large initials are also used in
stead of a monogram. Another style of
decoration consists of a beaded edge of
silver. While the border Is occasionally
used on smaller pieces. the decoration for
these is generally confined to a shield or
| monogram. The shield may be combined
with floral designs or scrolls
The name ebony is given to the wood of
ony are distinguished for their great dem
sity and dark color. The wood in all vari-
cites Is heavier than water; the heaviest
varieties are the darkest. The other grades
require a considerable amount of staining
to make them black. Ebony Is OF a uni
form color throughout, and will not show
any deterioration even from long continued
use. There are three varieties Of ebony
well known in commerce. The ebony from
the Gaboon coast of Africa Is the darkest.
The Madagascar ebony IS the densest. The
Macassar ebony furnishes the largest
pieces. Almost all ebony IS sent In the
form of logs to London and from there
shipped to the various countries in which
1t Is used for manufacturing purposes. It
is sold by weight
limitations of ebony can always be dis
tingushed by their lighter weight. and the
cheaper limitations can be detected by mere
