send them to the sectarian school;

in love without confessing it, thinking themselves
unworthy of each other. 1t was q co1nedy within
the comedy, for they played lovers on the stage

Though both the mammoth and the mastodon
elcphanine creatures they easily distinguishes
ble The most prominent difference is in the tusks
and teeth but the American mammoth was a shaggy
animal while the mastOdon had probably smooth
skin like the modern elephant. OF the two the mann
moth was the larger quadruped, the n.astOdon being
stouter and on shorter legs and probably moro
aquatic in its habits. The mastodon takes its name
from its nipple shaped teeth the drawing Of one Of
these and of tooth of mamlnOth (Elcphos Anleri-
canus) is reduced from DaaG's Manual Of Geolo0n
The nipple-shaped teeth are all covered with en-
amel mammoth teeth arc principally made up VI
dentne within which are separate lozangcs of en-
amel. The Otisville mastOdon has eight teeth, two
on each side in each Jaw These teeth about four
inches thick, and each pair, it stands in the jaw,
is lila inches long on top. They look as though
they could have crunched good-sized tree without
much difficulty The tusks of the mammoth arc
long and much curved, as is shown in the ilustra-
ton those Of the mastOdon comparatively sliors
and slender. In early life the mastodon had two
small tusks in the lower jaw, one of these the male
shed with advancing years the female shed both.
The absence of these in the Otisve skeleton nclines
Prof Marsh to the belief that it was female Geo
logically speaking, the mastodon Is an older annm
than the elephant mammoth but the series OF spec
linens already obtained of different species, indicates
near affinity aud probably common ancestry.

SKELETON OF MAsTODoy IN BRITISH MUSEUM.
Ont of hundred mastodons whose remains are dis
covered it safe to say that not more than one is IN
good condition. AS rule they have careessly left
their bones in strata not htted to preserve them.
Frequently the remains crumble at a touch. The
perfect condition of the mastodon Of Otisvie IL re-
markable. 1t viii stand probably IL feet in hight
and perhaps in length, when mounted It's size and
the character of the teeth indicate full maturity, II
not extreme age 1t is not quite easy to Judge Of
the age of mastodon as of horse by his teeth, but
it can be safely said that this animal may have been
hundred wears old at death. FiIst-ckass mastofons
can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Until
this one is mounted comparison with other speci-
mems would be premature. The best OF American
mastodons was found by Dr. Koch in Missouri, and
called by him "the Missouri Leviathan." That skei'
eton is DOW in the British Museum the engraving
Of It given above is reduced directly from OUcS's
British Mammals. Or. Koch circulated an ABSURD
story about this skeleton 10 the effect that the AMI
nmal had been killed and partly roasted by Indians.
Ths il thoroughly refuted by Prof. Dana in the last
number of Tho american Journal Of Science Next III
value to that specimen are the Warren mastodon
now in Boston. on which Dr. Warren wrote me-
moir and the Cohoes mastodon now in the State &c
illogical Cabinet at Albany Two less known but al
most equally complete specimens from Indiana were
DESTROYED in Chcago's great fire. smaller masto-
don discovered in 1914 in Warren Co., ~ j., formed
part of the late Prof Wyman's collection at Cam
bridge and now goes to the Boston Society OF Natu-
raj History. The Otsville mastOdon is at least the
sixth that has been found in the swamps Of Orange
County.
SCIENCE IN THE DEPARTMENT or TIE INTERIOR.
Perfect specimens of the teeth in position in the
Jaws are most desired by naturalists, to clear up
doubtful points. Some years ago there was
large quantity of fossil remains found at Big
Bone Lick in Kentucky. They constituted, the best
collection ever made of the Jaws and teeth OF tho
mastodon. They were sent to the Patent Office at
Washington. A high official of the Interior Depart
ment found those bones in his way. lie wanted more
room. He had those specimens taken ont OF tho
Patent Office. They were seni 10 a bcac-mH and
around up a. ferii.ng material. The loss to science
is absolutely rreparable. Compared with this per-
Torrance the destruction of Prof Watcrhouse llaw-
| kinss fossil models by the Tweed Ring was IN I'M
important piece Of righteousness; money and skill
can replace the models that Were buried IN Central
Park but the Big Bone Lick specimens were nos
| made by man.
