WHY IVORY IS EXTENSIVE.
Tusk Buyers in This Country-Work-
 CTS the Material Few.

Tusk Buyers in This Country-Work-
 CTS the Material Few.
 It is a curious fact that rotwith- standing the marked advance in the price of ivory in recent years the vol ume of sales has not diminished, but actually increased. Tusks have been selling in the markets of London and Antwerp at an advance of about 50 per cent. over the prices charged a few years ago.
 The causes which have led to this advance in price are very interesting. It is not due to any artificial manipu- lation of the markets in the great centers, nor is it due to increased de- mand or scarcity of elephants, For the cause we must look to rne heart of Africa where a spirit of genuine com mercialism is manifesting itself among the natives. Their wealth is in ivory, and they have learned to value it as such. Indeed, the wealth of leading men among the natives was once com monly counted in tusks.
 They would say of dusky capitalist of this kind that he was worth so many tusks, just as one in this coun- try would say that a man is worth so many dollars. Of course, that was a natural phase in the development of a primitive people. The red man esti- mated his riches in wampum, and the Laplander in furs. They often would part with their possessions for few beads or trinkets. They did not know the value of a dollar. Certain ly it can no longer be said of the na- lives of Africa that they do not know the value of money. They have learn ed. Thus it comes that the heather in his blindness is not so blind as has been supposed.
 Increased transportation facilities and telegraphic communication have brought Africa into closer touch with the rest of the world. It is said that a native may be working 1000 miles in the interior and yet he can quote you the cash value of tusks in the Ant werp or London market.
 Of course, it is far cry from Africa to the United States, and yet there is very good market for ivory in this country. Alert and enterprising buy CTS are always on the lookout for op- portunities to pick up good tusks. If Bostock or Barnum & Bailey ever chance to have an elephant die on their

AHEAD OF THE GUNS.

So far the arn1or seems to be ahead of the guns. If experiments which have been lately conducted at the naval proving grounds, at Indian Head, are to be accepted as a reliable guide, modern guns can make but little im- pression on the armor of the latest type of American warships. The tests in question covered series of attacks with shells and explosives of various kinds from 6, s and 12-inch guns upon the model of the armored cruiser Ten nessee. The conclusion was reached that if the Tennessee were fired on in the same manner she would still re- main afioat. The principal firing was from and S-inch guns, only one other inch gun. This last shot marked the end of the work, and was fired merely as final test. The shell was exploded within closed compartment, just above the armored deck, With consider able effect, but the armored deck was not penetrated. The and S-inch shells were fired with striking velocity cor- responding to ranges from 5000 and B. 900 yards, The damage done was in all cases confined to the compartment of the vessel where the shell burst, and although the damage to the ship in actual warfare would undoubtedly have been great the vessel would not have sunk. The tests were a continuance of the general series begun last spring for determining the resisting power of the Tennessee class of cruisers.
 Now for some guns that will knock the vessels of other nations to pieces This is a good time in which to get ready.

THE CIRCUS BROKE DOWN.

Forty Men Returned From France Af-
 ter a Disastrous Show Tour.
 Wondering where they were to get their next meal, 40 men formerly employed by McCaddon's circus, who arrived in this city on Saturday from France, were wandering in Broadway yesterday. About 10 of the party had found employment in the Hippo droWe and in other amusement re- sorts in the city.
 Of the entire numbe none had more than 20 cents, while theaverage wealth >was about cents a head. With what little the men had left on reach ing this country they made up fund and with it obtained reduced rates for Saturday night and last night at the Mills Hotel, in Bleecker Street. A few who have relatives on whom they can call obtained money and yester- day started for their homes.
 With all their hardship and gloomy prospects the men are happy. Sev- eral of them are well-known perform

At latest a1vices 2,641 bright young fellows from China were studying in Japanese schools and colleges. Chinese students continue to reach Japan in ever increasing numbers. The Jiji Shirapo says that scarcely a steamer brings less than 100, and 300 or 400 are always waiting at Shanghai for an op- portunity to come. Looking back to the beginning of this movement, the first entry in the record shows that two students were sent from Chekiang, by the Chinese government in April, 1897. These were the pioneers. Now, in the eighth year of education, they are studying at the engineering college of the Imperial University. Thereafter tho arrivals became frequent, some students coming at their own charges, others at the charges of the govern ment, and it appears that, among all the eighteen provinces of the middle Kingdom, Kansu is the only one which has not hitherto contributed to the total.

The scientific American has been watching the building of the battleshfp Connecticut with lively interest. At the present time, it remarks, there are few months of the year when the navy yards, and particularly the larger ones like that Of New York. are rot well supplied with ships that are undergoing refitting and repair. No doubt ulti- anately we shall reach a point where re- pair work alone will keep our present navy yards thoroughly busy all the time. But until that point is reached, we think it would be advisable in view of the good results obtained in the Con- necticut experiment, to have at least onewarship upon the stocks at all times ct our principal navy yards.

England,s besetting sin was describ- ed recently by Dr. Horton at the con- vention of free churches in way to astonish some of his hearers and cer' tainiy give food for thought. He said it was not drunkenness, as some have maintained, or gambling, or ir1pu"i:y, gbut a pride that is almost colossal, "a vanity of self-exaltation, an admira- tion Of earthly things and or material grandeur which was ridiculous and must lead to punishment "Lest we forget, said the poet.

excitement at San Pedro

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, July 1S.-Excitement
over the sales of real estate in San
Pedro has been running high today.
The main streets of the city have
been crowded from early morning until
late tonight and many sales of magni-
tude have been made.
John T. Gaffey and associates have
purchased the Crocker property on
Palos Verdes street for $4,000, or $500
front foot
Mr.. Gaffey and others have also pur-
chased the corner of Pacific avenue
and Sixth street, paying, it is said,
a large sum for this prospective busi-
ness property.
Some of the business blocks in the
heart of the city have been sold to-
day, but it is impossible to get ac-
curate figures during the excitement.
Many notable men of Los Angeles
have been on the ground all day
quietly buying here and there. Ed.
Halbrighter was large purchaser of
San Pedro property today.
Several new real estate offices were
opened up during the day in antici-
patton of a big boom in harbor city
property. Whether it will assume the
proportions of the Redondo boom re-
mains to be seen. Up to the present
time there has been a steady increase
in the price Of good property. both
residence and business. and much has
been sold to investors who will put
In improvements.
Building contractors say that they
have enough work contracted for to
last them many months, and that a
great amount of building is in prospect.
The outlook is that tomorrow will
see a big crowd Of investors here.

PEDRO Is Threatened With
fsfts Boom

Real estate offices and active realty
dealers are very much In evidence at
Redondo, where last week there was
big but short-lived boom in the SELL
ing Of lots. Yesterday there was 10
appearance OF froth or the boom fever.
Business appeared to be on healthy
basis and representatives of the sew
eral agencies had ample time to talk
about the future of Redondo, what
Mr.. Huntington is doing and will do
for the town on the bluff and predict
that IN a few years the place will have
population approaching $4,000 or more.
Business lots fronting on Pacific ave-
nue. are held at high prices. Negoti-
atoms are pending for the purchase OF
the Murphy lot, improved with n two
story frame saloon building, at s65,OO0.
The lot has frontage OF thirty feet
on Pacific avenue. 1t was stated that
a syndicate is figuring on buying sew
eral other lots near the Murphy place.
w. M. Garland had ground broken
yesterday for the erection of three
story brick and basement on the south
side of Pacific avenue, near the rail-
way station. The lot is 74xs3 feet.
Plans for the Improvement. drawn by
Train & Williams, were approved. A
bank and stores will be established on
the first floor and the upper floors will
be subdivided for offices and apart
ments.
Before leaving for New York, Mr..
Huntington ordered that a street rail-
way line to penetrate the residence
district be built. Yesterday twenty
five teams and many men were at
work on Opal street, extending north
ward from the Hotel Redondo, doing
the grading for the new line that will
be built for mile north and later ex-
tended around toward the Chautauqua
grounds to connect with the Redondo
trunk line to Los Angeles.
All realty dealers said they were
glad the boom fever had subsided and
that the "pilkers'' and spectators had
disappeared. Now, 1t is claimed, a
better class of people are visiting Re-
dondo for the purpose Of making in
vestments.
Residence lots vary in price from $3.50
to $4,000 and sSOoo the average being
about $500.
1t was stated that since Mr.. Hunt
ington made his purchases at Redondo
sales amounting to $1,OOO,0OO had been
closed for homes and investment, and
that resales footed up about 100000.

Question Of Municipal Ownership
Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, July 1s.-W. M.
Rawls, the negro who shot himself at
Venice on the morning Of July ID, In
an attempt at the murder of A. l..
Reese, was today arraigned in Justice
Jenness court on the charge of as
sault with a deadly weapon. Rawls
was allowed to plead guilty to a charge
OF simple assault. The penalty fixed
was thirty days in the county Jail.
The city council of Santa Monica
met last evening to hear the report
or the committee appointed to con-
slider plans for the municipal owner
ship of water, gas and electricity, and
t. transact routine business. The
committee reported that while mu-
niclpal ownership of all public utilities
was important, the most crying need
for the present was for the installation
of an adequate city water system, and
1t was suggested that an election should
be ordered for the voting of bonds for
the purchase of the system already in
operation. AS soon as the election
called for the purpose Of voting on
the annexation of the new foothill
district is over, an election for free
holders charter will be called. This Is
matter of great Importance to the
new district, if it decides to come in,
as the ward lines will be adopted ac-
cording to the lines Of the city limits.
