AN ANCIENT MAT

At Il late meeting of the San Francisco Acad-
envy of Sciences, Mr.. Is. l.. Rcdding presented
from Captain Mellon III interesting fragment of
Il prehistoric mat or garment with piece of
wood attachgd, found in deposit of salt seven
feet below the cap-rocb of the Bcding ledge,
on Virgin River, six miles above il junction
with the Colorado, in Lincoln County, Nevada
Mr. Rcdding said it was probably very old in
deed. and was knit by hand from the il ucr fibre
of some tree. He believed only one similar
ease had been found in Louisiana, where,
like this one, ii was directly over Il bed
OF salt and that was among bones of the mas
todon and fossil elephant thus clearly establish
ing its great antiquity. He has written to learn
if Il e cap-rocll was formed by accrction, or if a
land slide could possibly have occurred in the
vicinity. If ii came where found by the ordi-
nary schilncnihry process. and not 10y any cata-
cysm, II Is most valuable proCf OF the vast
period Of time during which man has existed
on this continent. 1t may be thousands of years
since tins work was woven, and it has only
been preserved to come down to Our day by
the immediate presence of extensive salt beds
This Will add to the rapidly accommodating evil
dcncc OF the great antiquity of man on the
American continent. 1t viii be interesting also
to know whether the mat is specimen OF wcay-
ing, mating or knitting.

ELECTRIC RAII,W

Some of the disadvantages of orr elevated
railroads are obvious. If the electric motor
ever snpcrscdcs the locomotive, many of these
draw backs will be removed. The carriages can
be built III lighter manner, thus reducing the
power necessary TO move them, and permitting
all bridges and other SupcrStructurcs TO Ec built
more chcaply than usual. Several carriages.
each with Il dynamo machine, can be Joined To-
one train, and by this distribution OF motive
power much sleeper inclincs can be overcome
than when the same train is drawn by ii single
locomotive. In addition to the ordinary brakes
means can he provided to short-c the
machines on the carriages, and to cause them
to act rs very powerful brakes. The use of
large stationary engines reduces the amount of
fuel necessary 10 develop certain power on the
travelling carriage, and if waterfalls can be
utilized the cost of working these railways can
be further diminished. 1t seems probable that
such railways can be uScfully and economically
constructed to facilitate the traffic in crowded
streets, or in situations where local circuu
stances favor their app ication. From all that
has been done during the last few years it is
electricity has advanced rapidly, and that lis
practical Application is continually gaining
ground.
