HISTORY OF THE MASTODON
RACE.

As far as is known at present, the whole
race Of msstodons is extinct. There is no
evidence Of their existence al this day. But
the numerous remains of them found in this
country indicate that they have at some peri
cd lived in great numbers on this continent.
At what time this was. We shall consider
hereafter. Their range, however, does not
appear TO have extended over the whole of
North America, but TO have been confined
mostly 10 the rich aluvial valleys. Portions
of two skeletons only have been found north
Of Orange county in the State Of New York.
East of the Hudson river, portions of two
have been discovered. Orange county how
ever, seems TO lave been the northern limi,
Of their range, and the Hudson river the cas-.
tern boundary. Passing then south through
New Jersey, and thence westward through
all the great western vallies, throughout this
whole region the bones are found in greater
or less sbundancs. The saltlcks of Ken.
lucky have furnished the most of these re.
mains and II has been stated that from one
Of these localities alone. portions Of more
than one hundred skeletons have been re-
moved. This species OF mss,odon is pecu
liar to tins continent, no remains Off, having

New MAcHINE.-i have been examining
q new machine for sewing, which has rece Mt
ly been invented and constructed by an in
genious mechanic Of Cambridge. So far as
| am informed on the subject, this is the first
attempt 10 construct machine of the kind,
and II appears to me TO be an emnently sue.
cessiul one. The machine is very compact,
not occupying space Of more than about six
inches each way. 1t runs with so much ease,
that should suppose one person might easily
operate twenty or thirty OF them, and the
work is done in most thorough and perfect
manner. Both sides of q seam look alike,
appearing to be beautifully stitched, and the
seam is closer and more uniform than when
sewed by hand. 1t will sew s,raigh, or curv-
ed seams with equal facility, and SO rapidly
that ittakes but two minutes to sew the whole
length of the outside seam of pair of mems
pantaloons 1t sets 400 stitches minute
with perfect ease, and the proprietor thinks
there is no difficulty in setting 7CO in . min
ute. The thread Is less worn by this process
than by hand sewing, and consequently re-
tains more Of ITS strength. The simplicity
Of the construction Of this machine and the
accuracy, rapidly and perfection of its oper-
stion, will place it in the same tank with the
card machine, the straw brader, the pin ma
chine, and the coach lace loom-machines
which never fail 10 command the admiration
Of every intelligent bsholder. Boston Corr

IMPROVED LAND.

Having succeeded beyond my most fiat +.
tering expectations. through tho aid of the
Agricul,urist aud kindred journals. in subdu.
ing piece Of ground that was deemed al.
most unconquerable, | wish 10 give your
readers very few plain facts. which will
show that sustaining agricultural journals is a
profitable investment. commenced tilling
the soil on my own hook, quite young, and
practically knew but little sbou, il; and
though | have had my own ignorance and
the prejudice Of others to contend against,
yet have already limited. and in the sequel
| will attempt to show, that l havo accom-

farms where some Of the best meadow lands
is scar on the place; boys. brars, and wet
places abound, where at least two tons Of
good hay should be annually cut to the acre !;
and then produce as much pasture besides,
in one season, as it would previously 10 any
improvement. Now, l wish 10 attract par
,icular attention to this fact, for II is indeed a
fact; though | know some old fashioned
farmers, who, il they were 10 meet with this,
their mouths and eyes would expand with
establishment, and horror would be depicted
on every turrow Of their visages. First of
al, let me say, that it needs due share of
energy and perseverance, qualities hold
essentially requisite to the accomplishment of
any undertaking; but when a farmer esps-
cially is bound to persevero, it really seems
astonishing what one can accomplish. But,
to my object. | am ex,ravagan.ly fond Of
improving land there is something peculiar
about it that always interests me 4; il really

From DR.. Cheever's Wanderings of q Pilgrim under
the shadow OF Mount Blanc.
A TERRIFIC ALPINE FLOOD.

The furious torrent ORANGE thunders down
the gorg between ragged and inaccessible
mountains, where there is no vegetation but
such a. has fallen from its hold, as it were in
despair, and struggles in confusion. Rocks
in with It's own weight; gallery overhang-
ing the torrent is passed through, and TO add
some picturesques in view Of almest un.
rslenting desolation, you have rude little
wooden bridge carelessly thrown across the
cataract for the inhabitants. A friar was
IeisureIy fishing for trout along the eddying
borders of the water.
The valley was the scene Of that awful
sweep of destruction caused by the gathering
and bursting of great lake among the gls-
ciers, where the ORANGE was damned up in
the mountains. The chaos of rocks had
passed through we're memorials Of its prog
ress. One Of the boulders rolled down by
the cataract is said 10 contain 400 square
feet. This inundation happened in 1878.
From 4 similar cause, the falling Of great
glaciers from the mountain across The bed of
the ORANGE, and so damming it up, there as
Q much more terrible destruction in The year
1895, by which more than one hundred and
forty persons persisted. 1t is thus that the
Alpine torrents provo from time to time the
sources of vastly greater ruin than the ava
lanches, overwhelming whole regions that
the svslanches cannot visit, bursting whole
mountain ridges, and changing the whole face
fnature.
One of the best descriptions Of the catas-
Hophe of 1918 is given by an artist Of Brock
l. A. &c eth do int,
published in the Bibliotheque de Geneva
The reader may learn from it something o.
the dangers that ever lie in wait on the Al
pine life even in the midst Of fancied secu'
rity.
In the spring of 1918. the people Of thu
valley Of Bsgnes became alarmed on observ
ing the low state of tho waters ofthe Drance
at a season when the melting Of the snow
usually enlarged the torrent; and this alarm
was increased by the records of similar ap
psarances before the dreadful inundstion o
1895, which was then occasioned by the &C
cumula.ion OF the waters behind the debris O
q glacier that formed dam, which remained
until the pressure of the water burst the dixie
and it rushed through The valley, leaving des
olation 10 its course.
"ln April, 1918, some persons went u
the valley TO ascertain the cause Of the diff
cisscy OF water, and they discovered the vas
masses Of the glaciers Of Getroz, and ava
lauchss Of snow had fallen into q narrow par
Of the valley, between Mont Pleureur an
Mont Mauvoisin. and formed dixie OF ic
and snow 600 feet wide and 400 feet higf
on q base Of 5000 feet, behind which tn
waters of the ORANGE had accumulated. en-
formed . lake above 1000 feet long. N
Vsue,., the engineer of.hs Vallais, was con
suited, and he Immediately decided upo

JUDAS AND THE THIEF.

What limit 10 Thy mercy oh my God7
4 The first for whom the Saviour wiIled 10 die,
Whom he himself triumphant bore on nigh,
Was one who through his hellish curse had trod
All paths Of guilt-but 10! the dreadful rod
Ofriehteous vengeance brandishd DER his head,
Feel harmless at the last few words he said
One prayer-and t is q Saints that liieless cod
And such might, too have been the happy 10.
Ofeven him, the " reich, whose traitor kiss
Imprint ed death upon his Masters face.
Zen deicidal treacbery was not
Their crime that barred him from the realms Of bliss
Its damning sin was doubling Of Thy grace.
