together with cordage in the same man
her as prehistoric man secured the helves
TO his stone axes.
The most common source OF native fiber
for Cordage has been the baTkS of trees or
shrubs. which have been made to yield
range OF products from filaments as fine
as flax threads to cables two inches in
diameter and strong enough to hold a
ship. In the writer 5 private collection
are several examples of such rough bark
rope taken from coils many fathOms in
length. The aborigines Of Our own cOun-
Try are adept rope makers, and the
National Museum contains many fine eX-
anples OF their handicraft in this direc-
ton. Northwestern tribes use the red
dish inner bark of the gigantic cedar not
only for cordage Of every description, but
for parts OF their dress, such as kits or
skirts. and for beds. door hangings, and
mats for floors. and for their canoes.
Other tribes use in the same manner the
Apocynum. Indian hemp, milkweed fiber,
and various native plants that are well
known.
Regarding rope making in ancient times,
there are few records; but HerodOtus
tells US that NerXes secured flax from
the Phenicians with which to construct
a rope bridge across the Hellespont.
There are also Bible references to flax
ropes. as such cordage was used by
the Hebrews and neighbOring nations.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-02

Ropes of greater strength were probably
made from strips of camel hide, the same
as used to-day by the Bedouins. The
North American Indians also use thongs
from animal hides for certain forms of
cordage.
The Egyptians employed the famed
papyrus plant, a species of bulrush, as
material for cordage, nattings, curtains,
and sails, although they must have en-
plOyed flax also, as it was grown extern
sively. Before the ancient Greeks and
Romans learned to use hemp they en-
ployed in their rope and tWine manufaC-
ture a species of broom known as the
s sPartilm derived from SPartOH, which
means cordage). The Italian peasants
Of modern times employ the same fiber in
the manufacture of the coarse fabric
known as PdrHlO GeneStre;; but not for
cOrdage. Italy now produces the finest
hemp in the world; but it is too valuable
for rope making. In oriental lands the
bamboo is a source of material for the
manufacture of different kinds of cOrdage
particularly by the natives or country
people, although, doubtless, Japan now
manufactures as good standard com
merclal cOrdage as any country.
In the writer S enumeration of the fiber
plants of the world over thousand spe-
cies might be named as having been used
in one form or another in the manufacture
of cordage.

ELEPHANT CEMETERIES

THE great bulk of the supply of ivory
L tusks boarded by native chiefs IN
Africa. and shrewdly dealt out by them to
traders in such a manner as not to glut the
market, come, according TO the best
authority, from elephant cemeteries,
places to which elephants are said to resort
when about to die. These spots are oc-
casionally met with in the jungle and they
bear evidence of having been ireequented
bv moribund elephants for centuries. Not
more than fifteen per cent. OF the ivory
now obtained in Africa comes from ami
mails killed by hunters.

Johnson of Indianapolis. The exam
iner's statement made this morning

MYSTERY HANGS OVER
ACTIONS OF C. C. MALONEY,
With Lots of Money in His Pockets
He Commits Suicide Near
Torrance.

Mystery surrounds the actions of a
man whose identity is believed to
have been revealed as C. G. Maloney
from the letters in his pockets and
who committed suicide yesterday on
the train going to Torrance near which
he had lived. From his description
several people here are convinced
that Mr.. Maloney had been here Sat
urday and had withdrawn several
thousands of dollars from local
bank to whose officffiials he was
known as "a. D. Bowling" The
money was found in his pockets.
While it is not certain that Mr..
Maloney and Mr. Bowling as one
many indications point that way ac-
cording to a resident of this city that
Mr.. Bowling told him he lived near
Torrance and was native of Ken

that he expected his wife to come out
here soon. He talked about various
matters with more or less coherency

Mr.. Bowling is said to have with.

ASSESSORS CALL FOR
SURVEY OF LANDS.
Conditions in Washington Seem to Re-
sennbIe Those in Many New
Mexico Counties.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 17.-Calling
upon the federal government to extend
its surveys over all unsurveyed lands
in the state of Washington to which
the legal right has passed from the
United States to corporate or private
ownership or control, the county as
SCISSORS of Washington at their annual
convention in Spokane adopted reso-
lutions recommending that the lands,
whether held by railroad companies or
timber concerns, be spject to taxation.
Several hundred thousand acres of
such lands are now immune from tax
alton for state, county or municipal
purposes, because they are not defin-
itely described or sufficiently identi-
fed to be assessed, and they will not
be, the state courts hold, until the sur
veys made by the government. A
state tax, if it were levied prior to
compliance with these conditions,
therefore would be in conflict with the
lien of the United States for unpaid
costs, and invalid and unenforcible by
the sale of the lands for such tax.
Thomas A. Parish, state tax COM
missioner of Washington, urged TAX
ing the matter of the proposed taxa
tion of reserve rights, retained by
the Hill and Weyerhaeuser interests
into the courts. He declared that un
| der the revenue laws the land itself is
included in real property for the pur
pose of taxation, adding that the court
may SO interpret the law that no lane
| is exempt. He believes that in jus
| tice to other taxpayers in the state
a speedy survey should be made Sc
that the taxes may be added to the
funds for the development and up
building of the commonwealth. He
said
"Under the broad definition of rea
property for taxable purposes, there
can be no question but that the grea
bulk of the property expressly reserv
ed by the grantors in certain instru
ments is subject to assessment ant
taxation as real estate"
