IVORY KEPT IN GOLD STORAGE
Cold Preserves 1t From Deterioration
Due to Meteorological Changes.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Local dealers in ivory goods mention a
new development in the trade. With the
opening UP of Central Africa the elephant
will have to go, and with it the African
ivory supply. 1t seems a strange subver-
sion of popular association of ideas in
connection with the ivory market that the
supply of the near future will be de-
rived, as travellers now maintain, not from
tropical lands, but from the frozen re-
gions of the far north. 1t IS stated that
the amount of ivory that is hidden in the
ice fields of the polar regions deties es-
innate. The rapid decrease in the herds
of elephants in Africa has turned the
search of merchants into other drec-
tions, and the industry is concentrating
itself on special explorations for the find
ing of the remains of mammoths. Re-
ports are constantly coming in of finds
of frozen carcasses of these huge beasts
valuable for the mass of ivory in their
tusks, in the tundras of the north, MAIN
ly in Siberia.
How the giant animals We're able to ex-
list in the climate that has preserved their
remains by freezing, or how they CHANGED
to be overwhelmed, are problems not vet
solved by science. Mammoth ivory, how
every, is not by any means a modern dis
eoVery. 1t was known to the ancents,
and for centuries it has been used as an
article OF, commerce and manufacture.
Elghty years ago the record of one years
sales Of ivory in the Yakutsk market ex-
ceeded 100000, and the annual sales in
that city from 1925 to 1881 averaged more
than $4,000 pounds. In 1910 it was esti-
mated that the annual output of Siberian
ivory reached 10000 pounds, representing
at least 100 individual mammoths, and in
1870 it was estimated by Baron Nordensk-
jold that the worlds ivory markets had
been enriched by the remains of fully 90
900 Siberian mammoths since the conquest
of Siberia.

Inc criticism has been made that the
Librarians offices are too far removed
from the center Of the library They
were SO placed because of the conyic-
ton that no wise administrative of
f1cer should attempt to directly control
the details of the various departments
OF large library. AS the business of
the library increases, the direct control
OF different departments must be dele
gated to responsible heads of those de-
partments, through whom the gen

braT1an must be executed. The libra
ran cannot, indeed, safely remain

fairly quiet retreat for the transaction

be protected, to a certain extent. from

Only thus can his time be saved for

The tableture and columns of the ro-

bic, and the ornaments (while not elab-
orate) are rich in detail and in the
style of the italian renaissance. The
floor of marble mosaic in fancy colors
is especially designed by the architects
in harmony with the general treatment
of the building. Two massive. and
beautiful stairways rise between the
columns which support the dome and
lead to the galleries of the rotunda
and to the upper floors of the building
A passenger elevator also gives easier
access to the same floors; and in cor
