authority on everything that people wear, says: The ivory nut is used almost sole ly in the manufacture of buttons. though some factories also make poker chips from them. The nut, however, has Superseded the archais mud. rubber and bone buttons in vogue formerly. It admits of wider and more varied treatment for this pur- pose than any other known substance. and Is easily worked. The United States consumes more than one-half of the worlds product of ivory nuts. and nine tenths of the vegetable ivory is manufac- tured into buttons.
 When the nut reaches the button fac tory 1t is cut into three slabs. In the process of cutting out the button is par- tially shaped. Afterward the thread holes are drilled and countersunk. The button is then sent to the polisher. who uses the shavings and powder made in drilling to polish them In their white state. After ward they are sent to the designer who traces on the buttons in indelibIe dyes the designs needed to make them match the various weaves, coloring and textures of fabrics After receiving these outlines. if the buttons are to remain smooth and receive another coat of coolrlng. they are put into dye. If they are to be stamped with a segregated pattern, they are put into a pressing machine fitted with dies of the pattern desired.

How Bering Died.

In the June number of Harper's Mag azine. Collins Shackelford tells the true story of the fatal expedition of the Ex- plorer Boring, from whom Boring Straits are named. Here is his account of the adventurer's death after the loss of his sh,p:
 "Bering. who had been for some time totally disabled, was brought ashore on a hand-barrow in a boat and placed in a shcltering hollow. where his still faith ful meH-a mere nandful-had cleared the snow from the sand. Even then be was dying. His great age and the hardships he had undergone on this voyage made his struggle for life hopeless.
 His slow passing away was pathetic and pitiful In effect. he partially buried himself alive. He lay under the shelter of tent. made from an old sail. Long suffering had made him childish and pet- ulant. Each-day and all day his weak ening hands were constantly busted scrap ing down upon his body. beginning at the feet the sand from the ridges on either side.
 He would submit to no interference with this occupation. insisting that tho sand warmed him. When he died De- cember 4. 1741. a month after the landing. his body was already half buried. and it needed but little work on the part of his skeleton comrades to enclose this hero of the Arctic regions in q coffin of frozen sand"

 Changes on the Peak.
 Some very good photographs of Colima have been taken of late. but, owing to the trick the camera has of stunting or fattening out mountain peaks and other heights, none of them that l have seen begin to do her justice. As seen from Tuxpan, the upper half or two-thirds of the volcano is in the form of an almost perfect cone. which towers majestically into the heavens many times higher than the neighboring ranges, which reach their altitude by long, gradual sweeps. The extinct volcano, Old Colima, Is, how ever fully a thousand feet higher than her more notorious rival. and would be. were it not for the volcanos vagaries, the more impressive peak of the two. Old Colima's apex Is sharp. with a rela- lively small crater. the rocky lips of which are jagged like the remains of the neck of a glass bottle that has been knocked off with a hammer Old Colima gives evidence of having furnished some rare pyrotechnics for the natives a thous- and years or more ago. Last February the volcano Colima blew off her apex, formerly pretty sharp, to such an extent that her crown now resembles that of derby hat It appears, however, during the current eruption, to be in process of reconstruction to q sharp edge. Com petent civil engineers who have taken are authority for the state ment that the volcano Colima has in- creased her height by more than a hun dred feet during the past three or four years. But, as has been stated. the cam era fattens out these noble peaks. and one must see them with ones own eyes to appreciate their majestic grandeur.
 The current eruptlOns are essentially lava demonstrations, while those that OCT cured two months ago were more par ticuIarly given over 10 the election of rocks and dust. when precisely three grades of the latter were blown many miles into the air and scattered broad cast. The finest grade. which fell in large quantities in Tuxpan and 15O miles beyond, was ground as fine as talcum the feel of which 1t resembled in no small degree; the particles of the me dium grade, which were found about half way between here and the volcano. were about the size of grains of granulated sugar and the coarser sort which fell about the base of the mountain, consist ed of sharp-edge flakes of granite about half the size of mans little finger nail. The generally accepted theory Is that this powder of various grades was ere ated by the churning up and down inside the crater of huge boulders at times when there was not enough force to eject them, and that when an explosion of sufficient energy did occur rocks. dust and all were thrown from the crater's mouth and car
