Ivory toilet articles rise in value amid dwindling elephants
Conforming Trotten, Silver for toilet table articles will always hold its own, but ivory today to the most distinguished material of which brushes, combs, powder boxes, hand mirrors and the like can be made. It is better for a person who is collecting the furniture for a dressing table to put money gradually into fine pieces of ivory rather than silver. Ivory of the beet quality is steadily encreasing in value. Every year the number of elephants decreases. The time is almost here when the ivory-bearing elephants of central Africa will be extinct. Collections of ivory now fetch large prices. It is not surprising, therefore, that ivory toilet articles should be eagerly sought.

Russians Flock to Siberia Emigration Taps Rich Lands
The piece argues Siberia and Amur offer abundant land and resources. Wheat ripens in 107 days with early frosts harmless to seed, and other grains fare similarly. Western Siberia holds over 24,000 square miles of coal, with iron and gold ores present as industry grows. Emigration to Siberia surges as lands remain underdeveloped and promising.
