IVORY FROM MAMMOTH rUsks.
Material for Piano Keys, Billiard
Balls and Ornament Being Secured
From Long Buried Animals.


The tusks of the long buried mam
moths found on the shores of Arcti.
Siberia are now being used to make
piano keys. billiard balls and many
ornaments for use in the United
States.
This new and somewhat astonishing
bit of commercial enterprise is due to
the vanishing supply of the
worlds ivory and the wholesale ex-
tinction of the African elephants, the
tucks of which have hitherto furnishes
the greatest quantities OF ivory.
Only d year OF so ago some nomadie
Yakut natives who roam and hunt for
fur bearing animals in Arctic Siberia,
thousands of miles from civilization
found the tusks of mammoth pro
truding from the ground, having been
exposed by the melting of the ice.
These were brought on their reindeer
sledges to the Russian town of
Yakutz, where they were quickly sold
to merchants, who shipped them to'the
great ivory markets of London. There
they We're manufactured into piano
keys, billiard balls and carvings II
various kinds.
The bodies of these gigantic an
cesters of the elephant have been
marvelously preserved for millions Of
years by perfect freezing and cold
storage process through being buried
in the frozen soil and covered by a
shell of ice hundreds of feet in thick
ness. The mammoths died out owing
to change in physico geographical
conditions. Their bodies were depos-
tied in a cold region and gradually
buried in loam.-Technical World

Four-MiIe Waves.

According to Professor j. A. Elem
ing several of the most powerful wire
less stations are now generating ether
crest of about four miles, and these
disturbances can be detected at dis
tanees up to six thousand miles from
their source. That is, four such sta
tions would suffice to "girdle'' the
earth. Obviously,t however, th'
ability to detect" the signals over
this vast distance, presumably under
favorable weather conditions, is a
very different thing from the power
to maintain commercial communica-
ton along the route. AS yet the wire

covers but a third, or at most half,
this distance.
There is yet no means of determn-

Employees of the sherifrs office are
happy today over the fact that they

Divorce Proctor to
Wed; Sets Forth His
Rules for Happiness
Court Wife After Marriage, Bring
Her Flowers and Candy,
He Says.

KANSAS CITY, MO. March 13.-
Profting by his two years experience
as divorce proctor, W W. Wright. who
is to be married April Is, will follow
these rules to insure a happy married
life:
Continue to court his wife after
marriage.
Occasionally take her flowers and
candy.
Remember that the little things,
which the ordinary man thinks of
slight importance. mean much to
woman's happiness.
Spend all his evenings at home,
and never leave his wife alone I'M
less business necessity requires It,
Start the fire in the morning.
Never talk in jest about other
women caring for him.
Try not to arouse his wife's jeal-
ousy; in fact, convince her that
every bit of his affection is CEN
tered in her.
My observation has been that
clothes and food count for little with
the right kind Of woman if a husband
displays the proper amount of affection
and is considerate of her feelings and
wishes" Mr. Wright said today. "A
man who thinks Of the little things that
women prize so much in everyday life
need have no fear OF marital troubles.
OF course the woman must be of the
right kind, or else any amount of hus-
handy affection and consideration will
not hold them together"
