with a handful Of cowrie shells he can
pay his way comfortably. Thus one
discovers that money dogs not neceS-

other parts of the world Cowrles are
usually threaded upon cords, many
yards long. These are twisted into
coils. A man who wishes to buy a
fowl, or basket Of eggs. will cut off
a portion of his shell rope and hand It
over to the seller.
Rope money of a different sort is
used in the South Sea islands, where
