Apropos of the journey of the Queen OF
Spain and the two Infantas, the newspapers
have been telling a number OF more or less
plausible stories which show that the plea
sures Of royalty, even where the king is es-
Unable and popular, are balanced in null
titude OF ways. 1t has been asserted that
it is in consequence OF the discovery OF a
fact, offensive to her us wife and Queen,
that Queen Christine has left Spain, and
that she will never return thither. A
friend Of mine, who returned from
Spain by the very train in which the
Queen travelled, and who saw the King
and Queen week ago, sends me the fol-
lowing note: "Last Thursday l went to

see these wretched inventions making the
round of the press? 1t has been said that the

will return in a month. During her alb.

Tho Corson Footprints.

fJoseph lie Conte, In Nature.
The whole surface OF the shale exposed
in the prison-yard is literally covered with
tracks OF many kinds, but the mud was so
soft when the tracks were made that the
nature Of many OF them can only be guessed.
Some were probably those OF horse, some
probably OF wolf, some certainly OF 4
deer; many were those OF long-legged
wading birds. But the most interest
ing are those Of the mammoth and the pro-
blematical s0-called human tracks. About
the mammoth tracks there can be no doubt.
Some OF these were uncovered by blasting
in my presence; round bason-shaped i'm
pressions, s inches deep and % inches
across, and occurring in regular alter
mating series, the hind foot tracking
almost perfectly with the fore foot. The
nature OF the so-called human tracks, how
ever, is far more doubtful. These Ocur in
several regular alternating series OF 1920.
In size they are 20 inches long and s
inches wide. In shape they are many OF
them far more curved than the human
track. especially in soft mud. The stride
Is q to 3 feet, and even more. The out
ward turn OF the track is in many cases
greater than i'm human tracks, especially in
soft mud. But the most remarkable thing
about them on the human theory is the
straddle-i. e., the distance between the
right and left series. This found TO be Is
and even 10 inches, which was fully as great
as that OF. the mammoth tracks. This is
probably the greatest objection to the hui
man theory. On the other hand, the great
objection to the quadrupedal theory is the
apparent singleness OF the tracks and the
absence OF claw marks. But il must be
remembered that the tracks are deep and
the outlines somewhat obscure, and also
that the mammoth tracks, on account OF
tracking OF hind with fore foot, are in most
cases, though not always, single. After care
full examination for several days, the con-
clusion | came to was that the tracks were
probably made by q large plantigrade
quadruped, most likely gigantic ground
sloth, such as the mylodon, which is found
in the quaternary or the morothenium.
which is found in the upper pliocene OF
Nevada. The apparent singleness, the
singular shape. and the large outward
turn of the tracks l attribute to the
imperfect tracking OF hind and fore-foot
on the same side. while the absence Of
claw marks was the result OF the c'ogging
OF the feet with mud. This view seems to
be most probable, but many who have seen
the tracks think them human, and / freely
admit that there is abundant room for hon.
est difference Of opinion. On any theory
the tracks are well worthy Of scientific at
tention.

"Sweet, love Is of the summer time,

She tarries but moon.
Come while the earth Is glad and green,
Well build our nest together;
For love Is Of the sumner time
And cannot bide foul weather."
