Paris. France, Dec. 22.-Dr. Hebert,

Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the great Nor

tel Wagram, received the correspond

the patients family, made the fol-
living statement:
II am glad, through the medium of
the American newspapers. to contra
dict the many absurd and fantastic
reports as to the treatment Bjornson
is receiving. 1t is not true that he
undergoes daily applications of cleo
tricity, as this would be improper for
an attack of cerebral hemorrhage,
from which he is suffering.
ION arriving in Paris, November IL,
the patient was paralyzed and when
second attack of cerebral hemor-
rhage occurred five days later we had
little hope Of his recovery. The pa
tient rallied, however, and since then
has made some progress day by day,
until now the paralysis on his left
side has disappeared. While another
attack may come at any time, hope
remains Of saving the great Nor

|SLANOS0FH|DDEN IVORY
IN THE ARCTIC ICE FIELDS
LYING NORTH OF
SIBERIA.

Lndon, Dec. 22-Islands of ivory
hidden among the Arctic ice lying
north of Siberia were described in a
paper read by DIR. Gath Whitley al
the Victoria institute the other day
These islands were discovered by
Russian explorers at the end of the
eighteenth century and have been ex-
plotted by traders in fossil ivory
ever since. As recently as 1898 some
$4,000 pounds of fossil ivory was Of
fered for sale at the fair at Yakutsk
To the earlier explorers 1t seemed
that one islet known as Liakoff's
Island was actually composed of the
bones and tusks of elephants, ce-
mented together by icy sand. The
horns of buffaloes or rather of musk
oxen and rhinoceroses were also won
derfully abundant. The sandy shores
and slopes were full of mammoths'
tusks."
In 1886 a German, DR.. Bunge, ex-
plored Liakoff's Island. "The sand
and gravel" said the lecturer, "were
found to rest in blocks of ice and the
alluvial beds were full of the bones

of visits from ivory hunters. Traw-
ling showed that the bottom of. the sea
near the islands was strewn with the
tusks and bones.
These extraordinary discoveries are
explained by the following theory:
In prehistoric times Siberia enjoyed
"a comparatively mild climate and a
great tract Of country now under ice
stood at a considerable level above
the sea.
Vast herds Of mammoths, "rhinocer-
osses and buffaloes roamed over these
plains. A great catastrophe at last
overlook them. The land subsidized, the
sea rose and the animals congregat-
ed in great numbers on the mountain
tops. Even these were at last SUBJ
merged and the destruction was COM
plete. After time the waters slow
ly subsidized and the islands which had
formed mountains in the land, rose
above the sea. Why the climate
changed after these upheayals is still
a problem to be solved.

BOTH HURT BY TARIFF
AMERICA AND FRANCE FEEL
EFFECTS OF NEW
SCHEDULES.

Paris, Dec. 22.-No great admin
istrative change has been noted In
France as yet as resulting from the
enforcement Of the new American
tariff law and the expiration of the
Franco-American commercial treaty.
French exports to trans Atlantic
ports have of course. been affected
but for the moment the French gov
ernment Is marking time and await
ing the rapidly approaching date
when 1t will, as the public here be-
lieve, be in q position to demand
concessions from the United States.
Since the Payne tariff went into
operation American products enter
ing France have suffered the loss of
the privilege they formerly enjoyed
Of coming in under the special or
"low" tariff, as 1t is called here. and
are now admitted only under the
French general tariff. Tho imports
principally. affected by this change
are canned goods, dried fruits, pre-
served apples and pears, lard, sau-
sages, pickles, preserved, vegetables
hops, lumber, wood blocks for street
paving, laths, and sawed planks, ali
of which are now subject to the high
er scale Of duties. n
Big dealers, however, have laid ia
sufficient stocks, as q rule. to enable
them to wait until things adjust
themselves before they are obliged co
order fresh supplies ana incur the

the market values Of American pro-
ducts in Paris are as yet undisturbed.
Stocks Laid In.

Felix Potin, the leading Paris pro-
vision merchant, who has large
American connection of the best
class, believes that the threatened
difficulty between the two countries
will be solved by mutual concessions
before many weeks are over. Twenty
years ago, he points out, practically
all the American provisions imported
by France were consumed by citizens
OF the United States resident in or
visiting Paris. OF late years, how
ever. the French themselves have
shown a growing liking for. Ameri-
can canned goods, fruits, ETC., with
the resu' that today the bulk of the
America S. stuffs sent into France
are usea e ,. ch people. This is
partly due Wx superior methods
used in packih- 'can goods.
The package in &oI .he import
ed article comes toSsek. 'oreover,
is generally less costly e. ;. used
for the native article Of same
kind, although quite as effective.
This is factor which the French
housewife, who is as keen buyer
is there is in the world, is quick to
appreciate when comparing prices
and quantities.
But If the impending tariff crisis
has SO far produced no great prac-
tical difficulties there is ample evi-
dence that the French government
is keenly alive to the recent changes
in American customs. The publish
ers of American magazines, for in
stance, have more than once felt the
effect of the increased strictness in
the enforcement of the customs laws
In the United States.
Publications, more than one-third
of whose contents are in the form of
advertisements, formerly came in
free under the classification OF
"books," but now are carefully ex-
amined and frequently are. charged
as printed matter" If they contain
more than the maximum proportion
of advertising.
Pages printed in colors are also
in danger of being heavily taxed, and
In one or two cases. where the sender
has omitted to declare the goods cor
rectly, penalties of $50 and 800 have
been inflicted. Six months ago such
laxity would have been ignored.
