Value of Skeletons.

A writer with a taste for statistics has been estimating the comparative value of skeletons. He finds out that the skeleton of an orang outang sells for 6200, a lion’s for $75, a bear’s for $65, a dog’s for S3O, a whale’s for $l5O, a horse’s for S7O, an Indus Biver crocodile’s for SBO, a shark’s for SSO, an elephant’s. for S4OO, and a python’s for $75.
