The Age Limir-

The question of the age limit in force
on a number of railroads has caused
good deal of discussion among labor
men, Many of the unions themselves
discriminate against old men, and set
an age limit as low as 40 years. After
that age men will not be admitted as
full-benefit members, but are taken on
payment of small dues and given trade
protection only. They are denied all
beneficial features which the younger
members are entitled to. These rules
have been in force in some unions for
forty years.

THE IVORY MARKET.
The Supply for England Decrease
Steadily and Rapidly.

The Supply for England Decrease
Steadily and Rapidly.
Our ivory supply, according to the
annual reports just issued, continues
to show signs of a steady decrease the
total quantity imported last year being
only 232 tons, against PIP tons in the
preceding year, and an average annual
importation of 2321s tons since 1889, SO
that, naturally there has been a good
demand at higher prices.
Ia the face of the continued small
receipts. prospects are described as be-
ing decidedly favorable-that is, from
the sellers point of view. East In
dian cut points suitable for billiard
balls realized, as usual, the highest
price. selling up to GS5 los per hun
dredweight, against ELS last year. The
west coast of Africa was the only CEN
ter that shipped us more ivory last
year than during 1900, but still the
10sA tons received thence are below
the average quantity-112 tons
shipped during the last four years.
The quantity received from the Cape
was extremely small, only three-quar-
tiers of ton, while last year no ivory
came to us through that port. One
| may say that Cape ivory is a thing Of
| the past, for even before the present
war the country had been so thor
oughly explored that the big game for
merly to be met with in those districts
had either been exterminated or gone
| further north, and their ivory, if still
| obtainable, must now be shipped
through the more northern ports. This
makes one wonder where we shall
draw our supply of ivory from when
Africa is denuded of elephants, which
at the present rate Of progress must
soon occur Would it be feasible to
reserve an area large enough to allow
the wild elephants to wander about and
breed, undisturbed by the hunter, until
the time arrives to obtain their tusks

The commission is preparing a pam
phlet setting forth the possibilities in
the direction of gathering useful sea-
weeds along the long coast line of the
United States. This is business which
IS practically neglected in the United
States, while in France, for instance
the annual crop Of seaweed amounts to
more than S1.Oo0,0OO, the product be
ways.
There has been a surprising increase
in the catch of German carp both in
the great lakes and in the Mississippi
river and its tributaries. Equally sur
prising has been the increase in the de-
mand for these fish. The annual catch
in the Mississippi and its tributaries.
for instance, is now upwards of 12,00o,-
600 pounds, valued at 100000. 1t is
even suggested that a considerable
proportion of the so-called homeless
goldfish sold in certain cities is really
a product of the lately despised carp.
The fisheries OF the Mississippi river
and its tributaries have increased with
great rapidity during the last few
years. Last year they exceeded in
quantity and almost equaled in value
the entire yield of all the other interior
waters OF the United States, the great
lakes being alone excepted. The prin-
cipal products are catfish, German carp
and buffalo Ash.
