Tackling wa bein? rijgd, anl man with laree sooop shovels wera beginning to unload tn curious "What are those things!" askod the reporter of a swarthy-complexioned man who wa smoking a tipanish cigarette oa the ship's poop.
"Nuts." he replied son tenuously. NuUI" "Yes, nut; not chestnut, either," and the man laughe 1. "What kind are theyl" 'Why, Iv iry nuts, ta be sure. Don't you know what vegetable Ivory 1st It's coming to li all the rage In this country. Few people can tell articles made out of It from reel ivory.
Look at this." The man held tp a nut that hid been cracked apart Thu brown skin was ve-y thin and the Interior was exceedingly hard, and a White and glossy as ivory. In truth, it appeare I to be animal ivory, but it shape at once forbade entertaining tha motion. "Few name have ever been better applied than vegetable Ivory," continued tha swarthy -nan, as ha ligtito 1 a fresh cigarette. "It on ot the Important discoveries of commerce." "What Is mada of Itl" "Every thing that you matto of Ivory. IV has revolutionitnd tha Ivory trade.
There are a hundred doxen of bnttons made of It In this country to-day where one made of real Ivory, and tha turners are working It up Into cane and umbrella handles and small trickets, so closely resembling true Ivory that a novice can't toll the dller nee." Are many nuts Imported!" Well. I should sa7 yes. England take about of them every year, and America Is a good second. Good sized fortune hav been made here off thorn, and the trade Is growing alt th time. They can worked In all sorts of ways, but they go mainly into button and Jewelry.
Novel Idea of buttons growing on trees, enl" Wheredo they growl" On a beautiful palm oa the Andean plain in Peru and that quarter of South America It leave aro feathery tuft, ometlmes forty faot high. It bears a fruit largo a a man's head. This fruit is filled with nut, a id it Is the kernel of these nut that you see bafore you. When green thsy are sof Now they are harder than marble. This button-making business is a sort of a nw dep irture.
It ha come up since I went Into the trade. Most of th Importers ara intsrastal In the button factories now and in this way soma of them are making big moaoy. The factories are scattered all ovor the Eastern United Btates." "Are the buttons made by hand!" "Not much. We've got away pat that. It' a beautiful as wll as a complicate! work.
I'll toll you something about th process. Ia the first place the nuts are stored In warm bin In the factories. A fast as wanted they are placed in racks in the dry rooms where they are kept from six to eight days, according to tho quantity of dampuess in them. Osually tura are about four poanls of damo-ness to tha ton. From the drying room they ar placed In an Iron drum provided with teeth, and turn for the purpose of removing their shucks.
Thsv are lh -n removed to the main room where bits ct shucks remaining are picke off by boys. They are cirefully inspected again nnd any little points of shucks stii remaining are removed with a knife. Then ihey are taken to th sawyers, who cut off slabs from th outsid of th9 nuts varying In thickness and six according to ie kin 1 of buttons desired. The centers of the nuts, being hollow, can not be Utillasd for button-making, and are burned. The sawed stock Is taken to the second drying room, where tho remaining water Is removed.
Wheu dry the nut ar sorted into fifteen slz an 1 placed In as many bins in the rear ot tha lathers. From the bin they are taken as wanted by tb turners. After the buttons are turned they are separated trom the dust and are taken to tne girls, by whom they are carefully sorted, aud all tho imperfect buttons removed. The goort one are carried to the maohir.es for edging, and after theedgos are taken off they are scourel in Iron drums containing chalk and water. After the scouring they are placed la racks and dried, after which are distributed in cases and drawers, accordiaj to their aas and style.
They are taken from tha drawors a wantad to fill order. After being wetjhad for orders the buttons are drilled aud the holes countersunk to prevent the thread from being cut. Then tliey are placed on boards elghtesn inches square, for notching. Then they are colored, the latter procoss often requiriug sevaral repetitions. The mottlina: is then removed and the buttons are tumbled in wire drums In order to assist the f.ulihiug process.
They are next taken to machines whor* the polishing is done by girls with brushes, and then they are taken to the shaders, who carefully look them over and separate them Into four or live shades. After the shading has been done, the carders sew the buttons on cards, which ire removed to th boxing room and placed in paper boxes containing one gros each. The boxes are plaoed in bundles comprising fixe boxes eaeh, and the button are then ready for shipping You will find that even If the real ivory supply of the world 1 being exhausted It is no matter. We can raise ail the ivory we want." Clever Toll-Taking Device. An automatic collection or toll-taking device, to be attached to telephones at public or pay stations, ha been invented.
The mechanism in the te'epUone-box is so arranged that the telephone will net operate until a coin of a certain size and weight, dropped Into a slit in the front, acts upon a switch-lever, thereby making electrical connection between tba transmitter and the line wire. Tho act of hanging the receiving-telephone, after use, tn the placa provided for it, drops the coin into a till and releases the switch-lever, thereby breaking the electrical connection and "setting the trap" lor the next user. mm cvi -o if M-- 1 J-gitt --n-p? 1 j. --i 'What la that iL 1 irray stuff your 4 is mad of axko.l t'ynt. as hu ashod at tho canvas on the easel, and Lea iu rapi.lly to shot-ch In a compos, uon Nannie for a central Cgi-ro.
