Ancient and Modern Organic Life.

Whether the animal world has di-
minishedfn size as it has gone or,is an
interesting question which has often
been discussed. DIR. Hartwig, in q
scholarlike work on "The .Subterra-
mean World" has partially answered
the query. He says that the colossal
size Of many of the extinct plants and
animals seem to favor the belief that
organic life has degenerated from it's
former powers; but a survey of exist
ing creation soon proves the vital prin-
ciple to be as strong and as f1ourishing
as ever. No fossil tree has yet been
found to equal the towering height of
the huge Sequoi0s and Wetlingtoniona
of California; and though the horse
tails and club-mosses of the carbonifer-
GUS ages may we'll be called colossal
when compared with their diminutive
representatives of the present day, yet
their height by no means exceeded
that of the tall bamboo of India. No
fossil bivalve is as large as the 2fidacno
of the tropical seas, and though our
nautilus is mere pigmy when compar-
ed with many of the ammonites, our
native cutie fishes are probably as bull
ky as those of any of the former geolo-
gical formations. The living crusta-
ceans and fishes are not inferior to their
predecessors in size, and though the
giant saurians of the past were much
larger than our crocodlles, yet they do
not completely dwarf them by compar'
ison. The extinct Dinos'nis far surpass'
ed the ostrich in size, but the mammoth
and the mastodor find their equal in
our elephant, and though the sloths OF
the present day are mere pigmies when
compared with the Megatheriun,, yet nc
extinct mammal attains the size of the
Greenland whale.

An Ancient Ruins in Africa.

The South African explorer, Carl
Mauch, visited the ruins of an ancient
mysterious city in the: highland be-
tween the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers,
long known by native report to the
Portuguese, are situated in a land
which from its gold and ivory has long
been identified by some authorities as
the Ophir of Scripture. One portion
of the ruins rises upon granite hill
about 4, 900 feet in relative height; the
other, separated by . slight valley, lies
upon a somewhat raised terrace. From
the curved and zigzag form still appar-
ent in the ruined walls which cover the
whole of the western declivity of the
hill, these have doubtless formed once
impregnable fortress. The whole space
is densely overgrown with nettles and
bushes, and some great trees have in
tertwined their roots with the build
ings. Without exception the walls,
some of which have still height Of
thirty feet, are built of cut granite
stones, generally of the size of an or.
dinary brick, but 10 mortar has been
used. The thickness of the walls
where they appear above ground is ten
feet, tapering to seven or eight above.
In many places monolith plasters OF
eight to ten feet in length, ornamentcd
in diamond-shaped lines, stand out ot
the building. It is thought they are the
ruins of a factory, raised in very remote
antiquity by strangers in the land te
over-awe the savage inhabitants of thu
region and serve as a depot for thai
gold and ivory it affords. No native
mud-hut dwelling tribe could have con
ceivc.l its erection.

Artificial Building Material.

The construction of the buildings
with concrete appears to have more
favor with French architects than with
those of any others. The plan which
is most preferred consists in using one
part of Portland cement to five parts
large gravel stones, varying in size
from that of pearl barley to that of peas.
The fine sand is sifted or screened out,
put on one side, and used for making
stucco for facing the work. When it
can be had it is found quite economi-
cal to use burnt brick earth, or
"brick ballast Us it is called !;
the very fine portion Of this
is sifted out, and to 1t is added one
part of the cement to eight of the bal
last, and even less of the cement will
answer. A very hard wall is the re-
suit, and at 4 cost of not more than
scventy-five cents for a superficial yard
of nine inch work. The possibility of
building wall thirty feet high in nine
inch work of this description, was at
first q matter of doubt, but the success
has been complete. For ornamental
architectural purposes, a cheap and
beautiful article, Marezzo marble is
much employed. This is also an
artificial compound, easily formed
into slabs of any required size, or into
nodded work, or cornices, as may be
desired and it is claimed for it that it
is the most perfect imitation and sub.
stitute for certain kinds of marbles
that has yet been produced. It is selid
and durable. and its hardness allows it
to take high polish. 1t has also the
very convenient advantage, so much
appreciated by builders, that it can be
made at the works and be at once and
rapidly put into place in buildings
without the delay which necessarily
attends the execution of stucco work.

An innocent Man Vindicate

The Jacksonville (Ql.) Journal 10.
lates the following singular occurrence,
showing how sometimes innocent par
ties suffer from unjust accusations:
Fifteen years ago one Sam Steele
worked on a farm for Mr.. George Bar
bour, who lived . mile and hall north
of this place. One day Nh. Barbour
came to town, bringing his wife. Be-
fore starting he called in Steele, and in
his presence put $3.50 in . bureau
drawer, locked it up, and delivered TO
him the key Of the drawer, ~ weQ -
the key to the house, telling him 70
take care of both for the day. Return
ing home at night, and recounting the
money, Mr.. Barbour found that . $50
was missing. Steele, who was the only
one that knew of the where
abouts of the money beside Mr.. B.,
all knowledge of the missing bill, de-.
claring that he had not entered the
room since he did 80 with Barbour.
The latter maintained that Steele must
know something about it. and finally
discharged him from his service. Steele
left and has not been heard of since. A
few days since Mr.. Barbour found the
miesine $50 in the back part of hia
bureau, caught in the frame. One-halt
of the hill was worn away by rubbing
of the drawer rs it had been pulled
backward and forward. When he found
it he burst into tears, s,conscience-strlck
