Sibley, of Pennsylvania, offered a COM

Our ivory supply. according to the annual

of a steady decrease, the total quantity
imported last year being only 232 tons,
against 272 tons in the preceding year, and
an average annual importation of 232la tons

been a good demand at higher prices In

that shipped us more ivory last year than
during 1900, but still the 10S2t tons re-
ceived thence are below the average GUAM

The quantity received from the Cape was

BIG DIPPER DREDGE.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
On the 1st day of June next the Poison
iron and shfpbuilding works of Toronto
will deliver to Mr.. J. Poupore, Montreal
contractor the largest dipper dredge in the
world 1t will cost $50 900 to build. The
title dipper dredge, by which it is known,
is hardly fair to the immense machine now
dipper. so big that every time it goes down
into the deep thirteen tons of material will
be brought to the surface and dropped into
the scow beside it. This immense weight
of $4,000 pounds will be handled as lightly
and easily as if it were a shOvelful, instead
of eight cubic yards of earth.
This great dipper can rea CHI down into the
water and haul up earth from depth OF
fifty feet, and it's capacity is sixty loads
an hour which for a days work of ten
hours means 49, 500, 900 pounds. For q craft

the two steel Spuds will run down on each
side of the vessel and take firm hold on the
bottom while she is lifting. The main hoist
ing engine has cylinders with a siXteen-1nch
diamter and an eighteen-inch stroke.
The dredge will carry a crew OF twelve

Cray Parrots as Actors.

y Letter TO Nature
The capacity Of the gray parrot for re
peating words and sentences of human
language and for initiating the cries and
sounds made by other animals, both beasts
and birds, is we'll known. The remarkable
aptitude which this parrot shows for say
ing the right thing at the right time, is
also, L believe, well known to those who
have been familiar with intelligent speci-
mems of the bird. But / was not until re-
Gently. aware that the bird can be not only
an excellent mimic, but also q good actor,
and ii is possible that some of your read
ers may be able to give other instances
of what l now propose, with your permits
sion, to relate.
nv daughter had a very clever gray par
rot, which, unfortunately, died on the first
of this month, after severe illness OF three
weeks duration. He was brought to my
daughter straight from the nest In AFRICA,
and had he lived another month would
have been about two years old. He was
singulariy clever bird, and of charming
disposition to his friends, though very shy
and inclined to be hostile to strangers. He
was an exceptionally good talker for his
age and showed remarkable intelligence in
fitting his sayings to the occasion. He was
very fond of both fruit and sugar, but
never knew him to ask for sugar at dinner
or for apple at breakfast. For nuts, which
were kept in a cupboard in the room, he
would ask at any time, and in many SINH
lar ways he showed a vivid association be-
tween the words and the things represent
ed by them.
But the remarkable, and, to me- novel,
power which he displayed at so young an
age was that of acting. He played with q
bit of wood exactly as a clever little girl
plays with her doll. For example, he would
take the wood in his claw and would say
to it, initiating the voice and gestures OF
my daughter of one of the servants:
What are you going to bite me? How
dare you? / will take the stick to your'
Then he would shake his head at the wood
and say, II am ashamed of you! Whom
did you bite? Go on your percht" Then he
would take the wood to the bottom of his
cage, and, putting it down on the floor,
would hit it with his claw several times,
saying. Naughty. IN cover you up, L
Will Then he would step back from it
one or two PAGES put his head on one side
and say, as he looked at it, Are you good
now?'
No attempt was ever made, deliberately,
to teach him this any other of his his
trionic performances. He picked them up
spontaneously from his own observation
and memory.

Health Commissioner Hall made up his
mind recently that the department was
paving too much money for removing dead
animals. The contract price for the past
year has been $40 per month, and all dead
animals were included in the contract.
Recent experiments at the crematOry
demonstrated that anything small enough
to squeeze through the feed doors over the
lncinerators could be burned without
trouble or offense; SO now when the de-
partment is informed of the presence of
a dead dog or cat at any place, the gar

ARGUMENT OF FISTS
Sup't Jordan Thinks Boys Should
Fight Under Certain Conditions
AGREES WITH BRITISH PRIMATE
Circumstances May Arise Which
Make a Fight the Only Proper
Thing.

DR.. G. M. Jordan, superintendent of the
minneapolis public schools, agrees thor
oughly with the Archbishop of Canterbury
and primate of all England that "boys
should be boys in an occasional resort to
the arbitrament of the fist when there is
no other way TO settle juvenile difficulties.
In a recently published interview in
T he 10 urnal the archbishop was
quoted as saying ''that it wasn't a bad
thing for boys to fight, provided there be
no feeling of malice" This statement
was regarded as particularly interesting,
coming as it did from one who had been
head master of the famous school for
boys at Rugby at the time when everyone
was reading TON Brown at Rugby" a
notable incident of which was Toms fight
with the champion bully of the school.
Dr. Jordan does not, under any circum-
stances, \countenance indiscriminate
"scrapping' among young Americans, vino
are supposed to be quite as pugnacious
as. their English cousins. On the con-
trary, he wishes to be understood op-
posing fsticuffs whenever such collisions
can possibly be avoided by peaceful meth
DDS. But as there comes time in the
history of every nation when declaration
OF war is unavoidable, so it is in the re-
lations which one boy bears to another. .
There are times" says DR.. Jordan,
'"when the only course left to the boy
who has. the right stuff in him is to use
the weapons with which nature has pro-
vided him. I don't mean that any boy
need necessarily assume the aggressive,
except In rare instances. But there is NO
denying that there come times in the ex-
perience Of every boy in school or out of
school, when to refuse to fight would be
coWardly and contemplate ON his part.
81 believe that a boy, like man, should
defend himself when it is necessary. We
all know that many boy of peaceful in
clinations is often forced into fight by
the DULLES to be found in every school.
When roughly set upon and pummeled by
another boy without any provocation on
his part, the boy have in mind is per-
fectly justified in striking back, and if he
succeeds in threshing the aggressor so
much the better. That kind Of boy
will make great man..
LAS a rule, however, I think every boy
who believes in being at peace with his
playmates should make 1t rule never to
fight, except as defensive measure.
Then it is unavoidable"
