Discovery Of Rare Fossil Remains,


The scientific circles Of our city have
been much exercised of late by the dis
covery of cave III the limestone region
of Chester county filled with remains
OF vertebrate animals of the post
plocene era. An especlan interest is
attached to this matter from the fact
that paleontologlsts have failed TO dis
cover what became of the animals anC
vegetables which existed on our cont
nent Just previous to those which now
exist Although we have on our cont
nent over one thousand species Of verte
brated animals-and no doubt quite as
many existed III the anterior period
referred to-only some forty in oil have
been discovered The is that some
tremendous CONFUSION, of which geoIo-
gists have failed SO far to write. swept
the whole away,
In this case, however, the remains OF
more vertebrates have been discovered
than the whole total before known.
Some of these are quite new species,
before unknown, and all, with the ex-
ceptlon of one, are not known to have
existed within modern times. This one
Is rabbit So far no difference can be
detected between this and our present
species. Among the remains are some
of gigantic sloths, tapirs, and some ru-
minants as large as our cows, snakes,
and most wonderful of all, mastodon
How this monster got into the cave is a
mystery, as the entrance Is evidently
not large enough for him. Professor
Cope, of whose remarks at the Acade
my of Natural Sciences last evening we
are giving an abstract, thinks that in
some way or another he must have
fallen through the roof which,
before the shay matter on the top was
deposited by the supposed convulsion
before noted, must have been very thin.
Though small In size, not the least in
interest are the fossil remains of bugs
Prof. Cope said that with the excep-
ton of some recently found by Prof
Hayden in Nebraska, no such remains
of insects had hitherto been found.
Among the remains in the cave are also
hickory, walnut and other trees. all
along lost to the modern world.
Prof. Cope pointed out the fact that
the remains of the geologic period
preceding that of these remains had an
unmlstakable AsIatic origin, while
those of the cave, and others of the
-pllocene era before discovered,
evidently came up from the southwest.
He suggested from this additional proof
that this country was at one time con-
nected by land with Asia; that subse-
quently Behring Straits were formed,
which cut off emigration here, and
perhaps the same convulsion which
formed the Straits destroyed every
living thing here. There was then no
chance to reanimate this exclusive
tract except by an emigration from the
south, as suggested. Prof Cope add
ed that the cave had not yet been fully
investigated, and explorations were
still going on with the prospect of
many more valuable discoveries.

MinsraI Weaith St The West.

: The stories of the wonderful mineral
wealth of the Western Territories are
often SO incredible as to be taken foI
pure inventions, which many of them
doubtless are. and vet some come SC
directly from responsible parties, they
must be taken as containing a large
percentage Of truth, Of this cless, we
think, 10 the account IN the St. Louis
journal OF Commerce, purpottihg to De
the result Of a SURVEY OF Iron Mountain
III Wyoming Territory, made by Judge
! klngman, OF Supreme Court This
mountain Is situated few miles north
east Of Laramie, is an lssolated peak OF
cliff about o mile long by several hun
dred feet wide and nearly two thousand
feet high. The ore is stratifed, and is
entirely free from rock or earth Of any
kind. The blocks are black, smooth.

and south, ABOUT two thousand feet
high, twenty miles across its level top.
and of unknown, or at least unstated,
length. The outcroppings all over this
vast plateau show the ridge to belong
to the same deposit with Iron Mountain,
and the Judge closes his account with
the remark "There is more pure mag
netic ore In the Black Hills of Wyom
ing Territory, above ground, than al,
the teams of North America can haul
away IN lifetime"
Another story often secuted as a
table, but now become an established
1act, is that relating to the immense
natural deposits of soda in Churchill
County, Nevada. The geologist of the
General Land Office, after describing
these singular deposits, declares that
"pure potash and soda can be manu-
featured to any extert, and the i'm
mense quantities cons, ned in the arts

important and comparatively rare sub
stance, bromine, may be there gather

Equally incredible in their extent are
the immense coal fields brought to
light by the geological surveys in Texas
and New Mexico. The carboniferous
formation is said to cover six thousand
square miles, with an average thickness
of three hundred feet. One vein, five
feet IN thickness, proves to be pure
anthracite, hitherto supposed to be the
exclusive product of Pennsylvania.
These almost exhaustless stores, laid
away for future use, taken in connect
ion with the vast forests of timber not
yet broken, and rich farming lands
that have not yet produced the first
crop, are, perhaps, the most conclusive
proofs of the future greatness of our
country, and the best refutatien of
those who are annually predicting the
end of the world-DetrOH Post.
