WHARF RATS.

In Hull bay, the southern portion of
Boston harbor, is Sheep Island, which is
now uninhabited by anything but rats.
Within the last year they have multiplied
SO fast that it is oomon to see 80 Of them
running together on the beach. They are
not like common house rats, but are great
gaunt wharf rats that will put up a good
fight with a dog and make a cat think
twice before she tackles one of them.

WHERE IVORY CAME FROM.

Baltimore Sum-: The elephant is no
longer the only animal which can pro-
duce ivory according to the official de-
cision Of the United States general APP
pr aisers. Ivory dealers and those who
work in the material have known this
for a long time, but the makers OF the
tariff do not seem to have been so we'll
posted. Testimony from ivory dealers
| was introduced at the investigation to
| show that the tusks of the hippipitamus
furnish just as good ivory as do any of
the % different varities of ana
must pay the ivory tariff rate OF 80 per
cent. ad valorem. It was also shown that
the boar, narwhal, right whale and alli-
I gators were producers of ivory. Even
the western hog gives up many and
many an ivory tusk to the butcher IN
Chicago packing houses.
This does not mean tina There is no
difference between elephant ivory and
hippopotamus ivory. Ivory workers who
understand their vocation can distln-
guish a difference even between the va
rious kinds of elephant ivory before it
has been polished and worked over. Hip
%popotamus ivory answers every mercan-
tile purpose as far as 1t goes. That 1t IS
not considered as. yaluable as elephant
ivory is due to the fact that it can be
used only for smaller articles. The hip
popotamuS teeth received in this market
weigh from one-half a pound to three or
four pounds. The elephant tusks range
in weight from 10 Otto $50 pounds. Mar
whal tusks range in weight from 5 to Is
pounds.
When manufactured into small arti-
cles the hippopotamus ivory brings just
as much as any other kind. AS far as
tina goes, however, the tusks of the
American hog bring more han does any
kim of ivory if weight alone is consid-
cred. If they We're sold at the regular
ivory rate of $500 a pound they would
bring about four cents each. They are
sold by the piece, and average 25 cents
each. The pig teeth are hollow, but will
take a very high polish and can be used
in many ways. 1t is said that 90 per
oa2S of the hogs killed produce valuable
tuk
The long, thin, yellow tusk of the mar
whal does not bring nearly as much to-
day as it did $50 years ago. This is due
to the passing of superstitious ideas re-
garding this ivory producers of the sea.
A century 6 people believed that the
walrus was connected with fabulous uni
corn, and the horn or tusk was supposed
to possess many magical virtues. For in
stance, it was regarded as an antidote
for all pse-cas, and kings kept a horn in
