SEA SHELLS AS CURRENCY
Were Once Extensively Used as Me-
dunn of Exchange Among Indian
Tribes Along Seashore.

"Butter tasterS'' is the name chill
dren give to the violet-tinted. worn
fragments of clam shells that are to
be found on most beaches. These
butter tasters'' were an important
medium of exchange among the Indian
tribes living along the shore in their
trading with other natives farther in
land.
1t can readily be understood that
Indians sufficiently adept in the art OF
chipping arrowheads and other imple-
mentS Of hard flint could easily manu-
facture rude money" out of the more
attractively colored pieces of these
water-worn shells; and this they did,
giving to this medium of exchange the
name luckahauk, somewhat after the
style of wampum.
1t may be surprising to many, espe-
cially to craft workers, to know what
really beautiful stones" these same
so-called luckahauks will produce
when cut and polished into symmetri-
cal form from pieces of sufficient thick
ness and showing the rich and beautl-
full violent coloring that many Of
them possess.
Such as are found on the beach are
necessarily dull, with no polish, due,
of course, to the wear of the sea and
sand, but by proper treatment on the
laps are brought to very high polish
and look very rich, indeed, being en-
tireIy unlike any other gem
Having considerable hardness, they
will wear almost indefinitely when
once polished The colors blend beau
tifully with silver, either in bright or
antique finish, while their beauty is
heightened by treatment or embellish-
ment with small baroque or seed
pearls, small amethySts or other har-
moniZing stones.

same time living near to nature, the

According to the bureau of foreign

wood. which is extensively used in tan
ming, is one of the natural monopolies
of South America, as potash was
natural monopoly of Germany and jute
is of India. The trade at first was
established in quebracho logs, but in
the last % years the industry of pre-
pariEg the extract has been built up
in South America and is now in
flourishing condition. Quebracho is
not Indispensable to the tanning in
dustry, but it is useful reagent,
since it produces in a few days re-
suits that other tanning materials take
weeks or months to accomplish. The
Importance of quebracho in the war

is not so urgent other materials will
