The Ivory Supply.
HENRY O. MORRIS, United States Consul
at Ghent, says that the sale of ivory at
Antwerp, the principal market, increased
from 14,109 pounds in 1888 to 573,127 in
1894. There is not, however, he says, any
reason to fear the exhaustion of the ivory
supply, as the ivory crop of centuries is still
in the hands of natives. Mr. Morris also
says that about 80,000 elephants are living.

DEAR SIRS: We have consulted counsel and are advised that the use of a sound
ing-board button, or any similar article, glued or in any other way secured to the back
of a piano, for the purpose of effecting the same result as that effected by our patent
packing thimble, would undoubtedly be an infringement of the patent. We. there-
fore, see no way but to notify such inf ringers courteously, and if they do not desist
then appeal to the courts.
The essence of our patent, the "novelty" that entitles us to the patent, is not in
a new form, but in a new use of a form not new. It is entirely immaterial whether
the packing thimble be made of wood, or metal, or other substance, and it is entirely
immaterial whether it be a button attached by glue or any other means, or a button
provided with a tube for attaching it to the piano. The instant the mere button is at-
tached for substantially the same purpose as that accomplished by the thimble, that
instant the button becomes the head, and the wood around the screw-hole becomes the
tube of the very article patented, viz., a packing thimble, and thus the infringement
is accomplished in fact as in spirit.
Yours very truly,
Masonic Temple,
IVERS & POND PIANO CO.,
Tremont and Boylston streets.
