At present ivory costs about $7,200 a ton; the price of billiard ball ivory has reached the record figure of $860 a liundredweight. The best ivory comes from Africa. Mammoth tusks are found in extraordinary al-undance “in Siberia principally, but they are not very highly esteem- ed, though they run to an enormâ€" cus size and indeed hold the record, being sometimes twelve feet long and weighing 200 pounds. The na- tives of Africa regard ivory as the standard of wealth and store it up in their villages for hundreds of years, constantly adding to their stock, and thus the supply con- tinues and will continue for many years. Attacks of Cholera and dysentery come quickly, there seldom being any warning of the visit.

On State occasions, however â€" such as coronations, marriages, ctc.â€"â€"tlie gold and silver guns were always brought out to take part in the procession. They were “horsed” by teams of magnificent white ox- en, which were fittingly caparison- ed, i.e., in cloth of gold for the gold guns and cloth of silver for the sil- ger guns. The native gunners and drivers regarded their charges as sacred and the writer has seen offerings of rice, fruit, fowls, etc.,. deposited upon the muzzles of these weapons (l) in the Baroda barracks.
