Stockholm. Oct 27-At a meeting OF the

the President of the Storthing sewers his rela-
lions with Norway The letter. which is dated
October &c. follows:

it has always been my hearts desire to con-
tribute so long as the means TO that tend could

In view of the turn the mutual relations be-
tween the two countries have taken, / cannot
think it would be conducive TO the happiness OF
either Sweden or Norway that prince of my

The Best Comes From the Elephants

of East Africa.
Ivory Is, strictly speaking, obtalne,
enly from the tusks of the elephant, th,
finest OF which come from the east
coast Of Africa. This hard, heavy
fne grained green or guinea ivory I:
esteemed for its transparency and be
cause its light yellow or pale blood tint
unlike the whiteness Of other kinds
which becomes yellow, hleaches with
age. The different species OF African
elephant supply almost all the ivory
used In Europe. Its quantity is enor,
NOUS. One London firm sells l0,O0O
tusks yearly In billiard balls. Under
30 heavy drain the supply must fail,
but to fall back upon are remarkable
deposits Of mammoth tusks which have
accumulated ON the rivers discharglng
into the Arctic ocean.
Since man began 10 express himself
In art he has made use of ivory. Here.
however, the term has wider appll.
cation. II covers the teeth Of the hip
popotamus, the long tusks Of the wal
rus and even the single tooth OF the
narwhale. Under the description Of
ivories comes carving In polished stag's
horn and In bone. The most remark
able Of prehistoric worries is the repre-
sentation Of head and shoulder OF an
hex carved In reindeer horn. which Is
done with 20 much science and obser-
vation, though the work OF a cave
dweller of Dordogne, that naturalists
are able to assign II to the ibex Of the
Alps rather than that Of the Pyrenees.
Billiard balls are turned from the
most perfect elephant tusks. not neces
sarily the largest, for the best and
most costly are made from teeth scarce
" larger than the balls themselves In
diameter and known as ball teeth.
Some Of the balls turned from even
these are better than others They are
Of higher grade the nearer they are
to the termination of the nerve which
runs through the tusk. and the smaller
this is, as may be observed In the
black speck TO be seen on a ball, the
better the quality.
