THE OOLOGHST. 



METEORITE. 



A cut, polished and etched, 77 

 grammes section at)out 2%xl% in., 

 from a Toluca, Mexico, Meteorite, 

 showing Widmanstatten markings, 

 contains rust spots, worth $5 — my 

 price $3.40 prepaid. 



ALLIGATOR TEETH. 



15 to 20 years ago alligators were 

 abundant. The swamps and streams 

 of Florida were fairly alive with 

 them. Their teeth were used by the 

 hundreds of pounds for jewelry pur- 

 poses, and good teeth were staple as 

 flour or sugar at $2 per lb. A pound 

 of 1/^ to 1 in. teeth numbers over 1,000 

 (about 1,200) teeth and represents 

 the product secured from 15 or 16 al- 

 ligators, ranging from 5 to 12 feet 

 long. The craze for the jewelry has 

 waned in most sections and I have 

 many pounds of teeth on my hands. 

 To close them out I will sell single 

 pounds at only 25 cts.; 5 lbs. for $1.00 

 or 10 lbs. for $1.50. Just think of it, 

 over 10,000 teeth which represents 

 the entire product from over 1'50 

 large alligators for only $1,50. 20 cts. 

 per lb. additional if ordered by mail 

 prepaid. A package of 100 sample 

 teeth prepaid for only 10 cents. 



PRECIOUS CORAL. 



Corralliuni rubrum, from Mediter- 

 i-anean Sea. I have a quantity of this 

 Precious Coral in polished twigs, 

 such as are used to make into the 

 Strings or "Beads'" so commonly used 

 for neck adornment. I used to whole- 

 sale them at $8 per lb.; will close out 

 what 1 have left at 12 cents per ounce 

 or $1.75 per pound. Samples 5 cents. 

 Precious Coral prepaid at my prices.
