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, mattings, 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 Irvine manufac
ture species of broom known as the
spdrtium derived from sparion, which
means cordage). The Italian peasants
of modern times employ the same fiber in
the manufacture of the coarse fabric
known as Pdrmo 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 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
mercial cordage as any country.
In the writer's enumeration of the fiber
plants of the world over a thousand spe-
cies might be named as having been used
in one form or another in the manufacture
of cordage.

together with cordage in the same man.
ner as prehistoric man secured the helves
to his stone axes.
The most common source of native fiber
for cordage has been the barks 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
ship. In the writer's 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-
amples 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 Xerxes secured flax from
the Phenicians with which to construct
rope bridge across the Hellespont.
There are also Bible references to flax
ropes. as such cordage was used by
the Hebrews and neighboring nations.

ELEPHANT CEMETERIES

THE great bulk of the supply of ivory
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, Z"
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 frequented
by moribund elephants for centuries. Not
more than fifteen per cent. of the ivory
now obtained in Africa comes from ami
mails killed by hunters.
