MAMMOTH IVORY.

1t is likely that African ivory will
grow scarcer and scarcer, and If there
were no other source of supply this
beautiful material would soon cost so
much it would be invaluable. How
ever, the frozen lands of Siberia con-
tain an apparently inexhaustible store
of ivory, the product of the mammoth.
Vast numbers of these huge and bulky
animals are frozen in the ice and snow.
Mammoth ivory was known to the
ancients and for centuries past has
been an article of trade and commerce.
In 1921 Yakut brought 1000 pounds
of ivory from the New Siberian islands
and in the years after many thousand
pounds were disposed Of.
Boatloads of tusks have been seen
on the Lena and Yenisei rivers. In.
1910 DR.. Middendorff visited the coun-
try and estimated that the annual out
put of Siberian ivory was 10000
pounds, representing 100 mammoths,
so that the total number of animals
whose remains have been exported
since the conquest of Siberia must be
between 10000 and 10000.

A New Dewey Story.


One of the brave jackies who "was
with Dewey" at the battle of Manila
Bay tells the New York Journal this
new anecdote of the great admiral.
The teller is Harry Deghman, a sailor
of the cruiser Boston, and his story is
this:
THE most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all Of the sailors
will remember through their lives, was
the action of a powder boy. These
boys act as aids to captains and lieu
tenants in carrying messages and do
ing errands. When the order was
given to strip for action one of the
boys tore his coat off hurriedly, and it
fell from his hands and went over the
rail, down into the bay. A few mo-
ments before he had been gazing on
his mothers photograph, and just be-
fore he took his coat off he had kissed
the picture and put it in his inside
pocket. When the coat fell overheard
he turned to the captain and asked
permission to jump over and get it.
Naturally the request was refused. The
boy then went to the other side of the
ship and climbed down the ladder He
swan around to the place where the
coat had dropped, and succeeded in
getting it. l believe it was still float
ing when he got there. When he came
back he was ordered in chains for dis
obedience. After the battle he was
tried by a court-martial for DISC
bedience and found guilty. Commo-
dore Dewey became interested in the
case, for he could not understand why
the boy had risked his life and dis
obeyed orders for coat. The lad had
never told what his motives were. But
when the commodore talked to him in
kindly way, and asked him why he
had done such strange things for an
old coat, he broke into tears and told
the commodore that his mothers pic
ture was in the coat. Commodore
Deweys eyes filed with tears as he
listened to the story. Then he picked
up the boy in his arms and embraced
him. He ordered the little fellow to be
instantly released, and pardoned.
Boys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for her picture can
not be kept in irons on this feet he
said.
Just before the action the boys all
exchanged keepsakes and intrusted
numerous packages to each other to
send to their homes in case they were
killed in action. One of the great mis-
fortunes on the Boston was the great
scarcity of tobacco the morning of the
battle. Almost all the sailors were out
of the weed. But one man had over a
pound, and he divided it in equal lots
among his companions, keeping only
the regular share for himself"

A Jumping Toothache.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer: 1T
was toothache," said the veteran,
that won me a reputation for daring
at the battle of Bull Run. That was
the only fight | was ever in where
didn't wish l could find a hole to
crawl into. All this talk about cool
ness on the eve of battle Is nonsense,
invented by people who have never
been there or old soldiers whose
tongues get away with their mem
cries. Our men and officers were as
brave as any in the war and made
good records, but they all had the ague
and longed for sick leave just about
the time the bullets began to fly But
l had the toothache for two days be-
fore that battle, and if there is an ag-
gravation on earth that will make a
man want to bat his best friend in the
face that is it.
"On the night before the fight I did
not sleep a wink. The old tooth got
to jumping like a goat and l couldn't
have suffered more from an amputated
leg. l was also furiously mad. l felt
that I'd either got to bolt for the rear
in search of relief or encourage some
rebel to put ball through my head.
WED been waiting in battle line for
an hour and the boys had grown white
and were all choked up. l had been
entirely occupied with the old TOOTH
and the first thing l knew the fight
was on. We were holding them in
check, but that didn't suffice me. AS
got hold of my gun and pulled the
handkerchief off my jaw 1 yelled out
for the boys to follow, and we struct
a whole brigade and whirled it around
and sent it back half a mile. felt
that l could lick the whole of Lees
army for an hour or two! They told
ne that 1 yelled and cheered and
lodged death a thousand times, but |
remember nothing but the jumps OF
that tooth. When they stopped, or for
what particular reason, 1 could never
say, but after couple Of hours / came
to myself, as it were, and was being
complimented on all sides and the
jumps had ceased"

Vizcaya's Cabin Roy,

Pedro Urizar, formerly cabin boy on
the Inflated Vizcaya, is at the home
Of Lawyer Paul E. De Fere, at 1176
Dean street, Brooklyn. Pedro is IA
years old and built like an athlete. His
shoulders are broad and his muscles
steel. He came to New York from
Portsmouth, N. H., with other Span
ish prisoners, and then slowed away
on a steamer bound for Havana, turn
ing up at Port Tampa, where he met
Mr.. De Fere He is now studying
American institutions under Mr.. De
Fere's tutelage. His tutor in turn is
studying Spanish.
Pedro, with his wounds and his
story, will be a hero when he returns
to Bilboa. This is his story put into
English:
II was on duty directly under the
bridge in the battle of Santiago. 1t
was a warm place, and before the bat
tie had started l wished l was back
with my parents in Bilboa. We met a
big surprise. We thought there were
only two or three American ships out
side. l heard that the Texas was the
largest one, and the sailors said that
We could whip them easily and go on
to Havana. But l never saw so many
ships together in my life, and they ran
right up to us. The poor Vizcaya-
ah, noble ship, too-was in the CEN
ter, and the shells and bullets fell like
rain. Our men were not so much afraid
of the shells as Of the American
Mausers."
Here Pedro made a pencil sketch OF
the masts of the American ships to
draw the location of the American
Mausers," as he called the rapid-fire
guns in the crows nests.
1.-The poor Vizcaya-alas, for the
magnihcent-she was shot to pieces, y
Pedro continued. 81 was inside and
the thunder was terrible. 1 was hit
in the leg by a piece Of shell about a
half hour after the first shot was fired
Then the cabins we're shot to pieces

In Wartime,

In "The Cruel Side of War;" record
of the Hospital Transport Service in
the Civil War, nurse gives many
touching incidents Of her life.
One night wounded man, comfort
ably put to bed in middle berth, saw
her point to the upper one as the place
to put soldier who had just been
brought in on stretcher.
STOP" he cried. Put me up there.
Guess l can stand h'istin' better'n
him"
1t was agony to both. The delight of
the men in being made comfortable
was the most pathetic of all.
WELL" said one, placed in his berth
on board ship, this bed is most too
soft. 1 don't know as l shall sleep for
thinking of it"
What have you got there?" called
another.
This is bread. Wait till I butter it"
Butter! On soft bread!" he ejac-
ulated slowly, as if not sure that he
was not Aladdin, with a genie at work
upon him.
All the men, indeed, were touchingly
grateful. One poor fellow was lying
close to the door of the pantry, where
the nurses were making and dispens-
ing drinks. His leg had been ampu-
tated. After time, one of the nurses
noticed that he was stretching and
straining to get at something in his
berth.
She went to him as soon as she
could, and he turned his face, covered
with tears, and put in her hand little
crumpled roll of pink paper.
81 heard you tell that man you gave
him the last pin out of your dress, u
said he. Don't give us everything.
Please take these"
