BUTTONS OF IVORY MILK. Now Plant That Grows Them Ha* Been Found in California. In Central America there Is a fruitproducing palm which has quite met* morphosod the button business and formed the nucleus for one of the most important Industries In the United States. The seed of this fruit contains a milk that Is sweet to the taste and Is relished by natives. The milk, when illowed to remain in the nut long mough, becomes Indurated, and turns •nto a substance as brittle and hard u the Ivory from the elephant's tusks.

GOOD HAUL OF RATTLESNAKES ^ Thirty-six Bagged In One Week by • Connecticut Man. John C. Reeves, of Portland, famll larly known as "Del." end having a national reputation cs a rattlesnake hunter, has recently gained fresh lau rels.

Seventeen of various lengths were killed within a space of about fifteen square feet Some of the large snakes : had nine or 'ten rattlers, while some of the smaller had but one or two: The snftes were beautifully afrlpeO.' Ten baby rattlers were found huddled) gether near their nest, which was a rock crevice.
