A Mastodon Uncovered.
A Discovery Near Freehold, H. J

A Discovery Near Freehold, N. J.
 William H. Reed, a farmer, living about two miles west of Freehold, Monmouth county, New Jersey. has had several work men engaged in draining swampy meadow. One of the laborers threw out what was at first thought to be large white gravel stone, but which, on being wiped of by one of the men, was seen to be an immense tooth which had evidently belonged to some large animal.
 The tooth was about four inches long and two inches across the top, and weighed near ly four pounds. The men were about to re- sume digging when Mir Reed ordered them to desist. He acquainted Dr. Samuel Lock wood the naturalist who lives here, with his ''find,' aud showed him the tooth. Dr. Lockwood immediately declared it to be molar froa1 the mastodon. Mir. Lockwood accompanied Mir. Reed to the place where the remains were found. This was evidently the site of an ancient beaver dam. The la- borer had cut through the remains of the creature at point which took away the base of the tusks and portion of the face of the animal. Under the direction of Mir. Lock- wood the digging was resumed. The ends of both tusks were exposed. The left one was uncovered and carefully lifted out to the sur face of the ground. It was four feet four inches in length measuring the width of the dItch which was eighteen inches, and allow. ing two feet for insertion in the skull, the entire length of the tusk would be seven feet ten inches. No sooner was the tusk exposed to the atmosphere than disintegration began, the tusk falling to pieces in transverse sec tions, each section being about one fourth of an inch in diameter. In the course of half an hour the disintegration had proceeded so rapidly that only crumbly mass was left of the tusk. When first exhumed the tusk had the feeling of piece of fresh cheese newly cut. On account of the great depth of the second tusk portions of it remained uncov- cred while the lsoorers were at work at the remainder, and by the time the hole was un- covered the first part had so far decomposed as to render it impossible to lift it out.
 On the second day after the discovery the work of exhuming the body was begun. Op- erations commenced at the head, which was lying within two feet of the surface When | the laborers had cut down to the head it was found to be so soft that the bones were easily cut through with a spade. It was nearly the color of the black vegetable mold of the meadow, and was therefore almost indistin- 1 guishable. But a careful inspection showed that the front part of the head was greatly | similar to that of the elephant of the present | day. except that the forehead was abnormally | high. By close investigation of the skull numerous air cells. some of them an inch in | diameter were found. The bone of the skull was of an immense thickness, but completely | honeycombed with these air cells. These cells had become filled with the fibrous roots of plants, which extended through the entire skull. After digging through the skull and coming to the lower part of the head, three or four more teeth similar in shape, size and

Mir. A. Anthony Nesbit. an analytical chemist, has discovered that blue is the healthiest color for fish Cat least for carp) and therefore, presumably, their favorite color. It was already known that fish change in shade when the color of the bottom of the water in which they live is changed, becom- ing darker when the bottom is darker, and lighter when the bottom is lighter. For the purpose of ascertaining whether this altera- tion is due only to the quantity of light, or whether actinic rays and the color of the light have also an influence in producing the change, MT. Nesbit began series of ex- periments which have extended over several months. His carp were placed in globes covered externally with colored varnish, the tops being covered with large concavs covers similarly colored to the globes, air being freely admitted by the in- tervention of corks between globe and cover. His conclusions are, first, that color is fac. tor in the change in fish, as the blue pro- duced darker fish than the black, and red had no action whatever; and second, that blue. the color of skr-%nd Aet black or green, the color of mud and foliage, IS ths- best and most healthy color for carp.
 An interesting case, involving the rights of newspaper reporters, is now under consider ation by the Supreme court of Ohio. The point at issue is whether for any cause save disorderly conduct or breach of decorum which impedes the transaction of business reporters can be excluded or ejected from the meetings of legislative body. Two re porters for Cincinnati papers were excluded from a meeting of the Cincinnati board of education, that body having resolved to go into secret session. They mounted a ladder and from the roof were enabled to see and hear the proceedings, which, one of the pa pers says, did not reflect much credit upon the board. Being discovered resolution was angrily passed ex- cluding the two gentlemen from all future meetings of the board. At a subsequent meeting one of them was persistent in demanding admittance, and was forcibly elected from the building by the ser eeant- at arms The latter was prosecuted for assault and found guilty in the police court. The case was then taken up to the Supreme court and the argument for the board takes the broad ground that the public has no absolute right to attend the sittings of the board that the newspaper representa- tive has no greater rights than any other in dividual. The argument for the reporters lays down the principle that the public, and particularly the representatives of the press, bava the riobt to attend and report the pro- ceedings of all legislative bodies.

One of the late inventions is designed to add to the comfort of those who are obliged to travel in ''bobtail cars" A flat brass tube, or 'conveyer," faced with glass, extends the whole length of the car-one end half foot higher than the other. At frequent inter- vals are little slits, large enough to permit the passenger to drop in his nickel. while the incline is sufficient to send it rolling into the fare-box. No blocking or choking of the coins is considered possible, as the regular jolt of the vehicle IS enough to send the most impracticable coin rolling downward

The average yearly expenditure on liquors in 1875 was twenty nine dollars to each man, woman and child, but in 1881 it fell to an average of sixteen dollars. This change in the drinking habits of the people is attributed to the want of money to buy liquor, to the coffee house movement, to the ''blue ribbon" and relig-
