The recent boom In South Polar ex.

Ing on the market. a comparatively
large supply Of the ordinarily exces.
sively rare wing bones of the. al
batross.
These gigantic sea birds do not act.

but they follow the ships to the out.
skirts Of the pack ice, both going and
returning, and numbers are killed by
the sailors, who. are we'll aware OF
their value commercially. and who
have become sufficiently enlightened
to ignore the ancient seamen's super-
stition rgarding the ill-luck that was
said to pursue their slayers.
The chief value Of the albatross lies
In the wing bones. which, when dress
ed. polished, and mounted in silver,
make ideal connecting stems for the
best quality briar and m%eerschaum
pires.
Not only do they possess the pecu.
liar property OF successfully resisting
heat for q practically unlimited ne.
Rod, but, in addition, they cause the
pipe to smoke very cool, being in this
respect a marked improvement on the
old-fashioned goose bone.
For q similar reason albatross wins
