THE IVORY MARKET.
Tusl<s By the Acre Exhibited, at the
Big London Docks.

Tusks BY the Acre Exhibited at the
Big London Docks.
One Of the sights Of London is the
great ivory floor at the London docks,
where previous to and during the pc
riodical sales ivory may be seen liter
ally by the acre, for the tusks are laid
out In lots on the floor. of one of the
great warehouses for inspection by in
tending purchasers. For. weeks previ-
Gus to the actual sale the special staff
Of the ivory department. has been busy
preparing the various consignments
and arranging them according to the
sizes and quality and chasing them
into the various grades, each of which
has some particular use for which it is
especially adapted.
There is practically no waste in the
manufacturing of articles from ivory.
The smallest chip is not thrown away,
but carefully. preserved to be utilized
for some purpose. Even the shavings
from the turning down of a billiard
ball have market value for use in in
laid work. Consequently the lots in an
ivory sale by no means consist Of
tusks and sections of tusks alone, but
include the residue from many previous
sales. Buyers purchase the particular
class that they require for their own
individual industry and subsequently
would be waste to be resold to manu-
facturers of different class Of goods.
Though there is mo waste" oddly
enough the most important considera-
ton, from buyers point Of view, Is
''how much waste" will certain lot
produce In the course of Transforming
it into his own particular line. Thus
a lot that would be dear to one would
be gift to another, and vice versa.
The most valuable class of ivory is
that suitable for making billiard balls.
To conform to the requirements the
tusk must be perfectly sound and
solid, without the slightest suspicion
Of crack or flaw, and, moreover, they
must measure only a trife more than
the regulation size billiard ball or
they will cut to waste, from the manu-
facturers' point Of view. On the arriv-
al Of a consignment Of unworked ele-
plant ivory from abroad the first prep
aration for the sale floor consists Of a
thorough cleaning of the interior or
hollow part of the tusk. This Is done
by means Of wads attached to long
sticks. The exact length of the hollow
is thereby revealed, and in addition
cracks and flaws that cannot be OBJ
served on the exterior are at times dis
closed. Soundness is the one thing
that sways every class of buyer; flaws
mean waste; waste means resale at a
lower figure per pound.

"TELL IT TO THE MARINES"

Pepys' Version Of the Origin Of the
Expression by Charles III.
The saying, "Tell it to the marines"
is traced to Pepys, the author Of the
famous DIARY" and it is said by him
to have originated with Charles II. of
England. It so befell." as the story
goes, that his light hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling in
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty. II
had speech yester'en at Deptford,' said
Mr.. Pepys, with the captain Of the
Defryance, who hath lately returned
from the Indies and who told me the
two most wonderful things that ever,
think, did hear in my life' Among
the stories told were Of fish flying in
the air. Fish flying in the ARR ex-
claimed his majesty. 'Ha. ha! A quaint
conceit. which 'twere too good to spoil

"Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the

Then, with laugh, he turned to the
secretary.
"Mr. Pepys.' said he, from the very
nature Of their calling no class Of our
subjects can have so wide knowledge
of seas and lands as the officers and
men of our loyal maritime regiment.
Henceforth 'ere ever we cast doubts

"LUCKY" BALDWIN.
His Whirlwind Of Speculation In the

His whirlwind Of Speculation In the
Mining Regions.
In 1853 little party of gold seekers
with a meager outfit of horses and
wagons started for California from the
village Of Racine, Wis. In command
of this adventurous expedition was a
young man who took with him his wife
and infant daughter. His name was
e. ]. Baldwin and he made wise
choice in shaking from bis restless feet
the dust Of tanner civilization. He
needed a larger theater of action for his
pent-up and surging activities. While
trailing through the mountains of Utah
the pioneers were attacked by Indians,

fight in which young Baldwin killed

ship the party reached Hangtown Cater
called Placerville), in California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordiAary red
shirted argonaut, meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck until the dis
covery of the Comstock lode at Virgin
la City. Thither he drifted and discov-

weight Of . Piece Of Ice.

A rough and ready method of cal
culating the weight Of a piece Of ice
is afforded by the fact that cubic
foot of this substance weighs approx
mately 67.25 pounds. First measure
the breadth, length and height of the
cake, and the three results. being null
tiplied. will give the number Of cubic
inches. s II this answer be in turn
multiplied by 033 the approximate
number Of pounds will result For
instance, a cake by 8 by 10 inches
contains 100 cubic inches. This multi
piled by .033 gives 23& pounds, the
correct weight of such piece of ice.
