STRANGE IMPORTATIONS
HUMAN HAIR, TEETH AND BUGS Two tons of human hair formed one of the items among the imports into Austria in the last fiscal year. Much unsatisfied curiosity has been roused as to what it could be used for in these days of close crops. Another item was artificial teeth, of which almost exactly the same weight came from abroad. Dentistry has reached a high state of development in Vienna, so no surprise is caused by this quantity. Nearly 5001 b. of dried insects came in for museums. Women’s fashions were responsible for the arrival of 20 tons of crocodile, seal, elephant, hippopotamus, lizard and shark skins for shoes. •
