ANCIENT FOOTPRINTS.

Taking this view OF the case, it seems to
be apparent that to protect foot of
twelve or thirteen inches, he would be
likely to fashion sandal of nearly, il not
quite, the proportions of the one shown by
the impression.
While it must be admitted that the print
of the sandaled foot is unusually large,
much larger in fact than the hide sandals
worn by the Mexican Indians, or the straw
sandals of the Japanese, yet the stride is
but that of the average man of FIVE feet ten
inches in height.
Throughout these notes we have used
the word sandal in describing the foot
prints which we are convinced were made
by man. No complete impression OF the
sandal is to be found in any single foot
print, yet an examination Of all the foot
prints Of series No. shows in each part
of perfect impression of some portion of
the sandal. By uniting these several parts
Of that portion of each which remains per.
feet there will be seen complete impress
sion Of sandal except the heel. which re-
mains indistinct
This NAV have been caused by the natu.
raj slipping which takes place in walking in
soft mud.
1t is worthy of remark that there ap.
pears to haze been smooth surface about
three-fourths Of an inch in width, which
extended, except on the heel, entirely
around the outer portion Of the sandal. In
all the footprints save one the impression
of tho toe Of the sandal is very distinct.
Az to the straddling gait, we need only
say that in walking in muddy and slippery
places we all walk with our feet further
spart. And, furthermore, by using such an
unwieldy foot gear as we have described,
such a position of the foot would be almost
necessity. 1t must not be forgotten that

TRACKS OF BIRDS AND ANIMALS.

ihtIhH OF bltsDS AND ANIMALS,
Besides the above described tracks, there
were abundant tracks of some wading birds,
as before mentioned. These did not seem
to differ much in form and size from those
of the same order now living. Several
quite distinct tracks OF deer are also to
be seen. Others, again, Were found which,
in size and length of stride, much resem.
BILE those of a wolf. AT one point these
tracks may be traced for distance of
twenty feet, where they are also lost in
the ledge. There are also few poorly.
defined imprints of what we believe to be
horse. Near the western limit we find
clear indications of animals having wal.
lowed and lain in the soft mud.
There have been, we believe, but two
objections thus far raised against the
claim that the imprints first described
were those of man. First, that the colos-
sal size of the sandal will be likely to
cause doubts in the minds of mary. Sec.
ondly, that the space between the feet.
or as it is called, the straddle, is SO
marked as to create suspicion that they
were those of an animal other than of
man.
To the first objection we reply that for
the protection of his feet the primitive
man would naturally select the sandal. In
fashioning this sandal of wood, it is reason
able to suppose that with his gouge of OBJ.
sidian he would cut out hollow to CORE.
spond to the size of his foot, leaving
raised border which might serve az pro.
lection TO the side of his foot as well as to
the heel and toe. Its raised border would
also be of great service in securing the
thongs by which the sandal was attached
to the foot. Some such plan must, we
think, have been adopted for occurring the
sandal, as we find no indication of holes in
the bottom of the sandal through which
thongs might be passed to fasten it to the
foot

How Much LAND FOR EACH ?-The recent
census gives the total area of the United States
mot reckoning Alaska) at 3,025, 600 square
miles, of which So, 600 square miles are occu-
pied by water-lakes, rivers, bays, etc,-leav-
ing 97O, 600 square miles of land, or 900, ,SOO
600 acres. The total population is 50, 155, 7S3.
This land evenly divided, would give to every
man woman, anG child 373 acres, and an onion
patch three by nine rods, over. If we divide
the population into families OF six persons,
each family could be allotted 227 acres. AL
lowing one quarter of the land to be mountain
ridges, sandy and stony tracts and other ''bad
lands,' there would still be left the regular
''quarter section" (160 acres for each family.
But the census figures now being made up
are for June, 1880. Since then over one mil
lion people from foreign lands ''have come to
stay,'' as American citizens, and the natural
increase has been considerable; the total in
crease from 1870 to 1880 was three per cent.
per annum. So we have now nearly tifty-four
million inhabitants. AS the area OF land
does not expand, there are now less than 81
acres each or not 152 acres per family, and
the average amount is rapidly decreasing.
No cause for alarm, however. With the best
culture one acre will supply plenty of food for
one person, and at this rate we can allow
more than four hundred million acres for waste
land, and still have an acre each left for the
estimated entire population of the globe, Which
is somewhat over fourteen hundred million
This is a great country ! Thanks for the
iron sinews of the hundred thousand miles OF
railway lines, and the nerves of the network
of telegraph wires, and the speaking tubes OF
the postal department, we are, us people,
brought into one closely united family occupy.

SODA FOR BURNs.-All kinds of burns, in
cluding scalds and sun burns, are almost i'm
mediately relieved by the application of a So
luton of bi-carbonate of soda to the burnt sur
face. Itmust be remembered that dry soda will
not do unless it is surrounded with a cloth
moist enough to dissolve it. The method OF
sprinkling it on and covering with wet cloth
is often the very best. But it is sufficient to
wash the wound repeatedly with strong So
luton. 1t would be we'll to keep bottle of it
always on hand made so strong that more or
less settles on the bottom. This is what is
called saturated solution, and really such
solution as this is formed when the dry soda is
sprinkled on and covered with a moistened
cloth.
