gravel In the lagoon, except among the
bones, and no small gutter or watercOurse
could be found by which il might have
come In. The only apparent explanation
Of the presence Of the pebbles is that they
were brought there in the gizZards Of the
great birds. This theory is supported by
numerous instances where similar moa
bones have been found over such deposits.
In the swamp, that seemed a veritable
graveyard for these extinct feathered
giants, the top bones were in by far the
best condition, and, curiOusly enough.
there were a large number that had been
broken, wounded and healed. There were
no bones found here Of young birds, nor
fragments Of eggs. Mr.. Booth shows
that the remains could not have been de-
posted by running water, neither could
the mOas have been surrounded and
driven in there In such numbers by sweep
ing fires; they could not have been bog
ged, certainly not the latter ones with two
or three feet Of solid bone under them:
and that the bodies were not thrown there
by savages, is shown beyond a doubt, as
not trace of their work is found, not a
hacked or scratched bone or implement or
trinket Of any kind. The real cause OF
their extinction in the mind Of the distin-
guished investigator is, that in the first
place, their disappearance was at a much
earlier date than is commonly supposed.
and was caused by the gradual lowering
Of the temperature until the warmth Of
the earth and air was not sufficient to
hatch the eggs, from which time they
gradually declined until they totally dis
appeared. When the frost and snow be-
gan 10 set in, the mOa, on account Of its
great size, could not find shelter like small
er birds, hence it would select the places
were il found the most warmth. The
spring-water in the bOne-pit being above
freezing point in fact, it may have been
a thermal spring., became a natural re-
fuge which would in some degree relieve
their suffering. Thus the period when
frost and snow set in, Mr.. Booth places
as the beginning Of the deposit of bones in
the pit. The accumulation would have
been very gradual, perhaps, through CEN
turtles, and the periodical deposits would
only have increased at the same rate as
the frost and snow. This process con-
tinuiBg until not even in the most IA
vOred places their eggs could be Matched,
the race ended. This is probably the true
primary cause Of the extinction of these
giant birds

What is Ammonia?

The attention of the public has been
called frequently of late to the subject of
ammonia in food" and the matter is be-
ing so vigorously agitated that it neces-
sarily arouses the curiosity of the public
at large, and leads them to ascertain, if
possible, what is it all about. In the first
place the question arises, what is ammo
mia? whence comes it?
Quoting ''United States DispensatOry -
SIT was probably originally prepared
from putrid urine" Other sources are
"cOal SCOT, stale urine, guano, etc., The
"Encyclop3dia Britannica says of it:
carbonate of ammonia is obtained in
largest quantities by the putrefaction of
the urine of animals, or the dry distilla-
ton of animal NATTER 'Roscoe's Chem
istry" states that 'swhen horns, or clip
pings of hides are heated, ammonia is
spirits of bartshorn." "The name am
mOnia is derived from the fact that COM
pound containing ammonia was first pre-
pared by heating camels' dung" cam
mOnia is mainly obtained from the am
mOniacal liquors Of gas works." Guano,
the dried eXcrement of sea birds, and the
urine of animals, likewise contain large
quantities Of ammonia. Farmers know
its value as fertilizer, and physicians
know its value as a counter-irritant and
powerful stimulant. All physicians class
it among drugs, and as a drug it is a
question whether it is not better to let ii
remain in the hands Of physicians and
druggists, and leave it out of our food. A
recent article, called ga Baking Powder
Trick," condemns as a scheme or trick the'
simple method which has been given
through these columns, whereby house
wife may ascertain, without the aid of
chemists or chemical aDnaraflIs whether
she is using an article free from dis
gushing ingredients; and after once
convinced of the true source of ammonia,
and its presence in an article Of food, it
is her option whether the use of il is con-
tinued or not. The test may be a simple
one, but by its means the unsuspecting
find that cans of Baking Powder
stamped on the cover absolutely Pure, -
contain ammonia, and certainly no re-
fined person who has once read some
reliable authority on ammonia would be
likely to bring home for use an article
containing so inferior a substance.
Baking powders have become a
convenient, useful, and important
article in millions Of homes, and every
manufacturer should prepare and sell it
only as conforms to the well-knOwn con-
ditions which insure health and safety.
There is no difficulty in procuring a bak-
ing powder that viii stand the s'test of the
oven" that does not contain ammonia. If
an article has merit, and has once become
established in home, its merits viii al
ways insure it place there; but If a pro-
duct of daily use, through unreliable
sources, is made to appear better than
il is, any means, however simple, by
which its inferiOrity may be judged ought
TO be thankfully received by an intelli-
gent consumer.
