American PaIeontology.

1t is one of the peculiar advantages
of the North American Continent to
the scientist that the geological struc-
ture of its great interior is compare
lively simple, SO that its history can be
easily read. 1t follows that the history
of the succession of life is recorded
with the same regularity, and may be
read by those who will bestow the nee
essary labor upon it Those who have,
during the last ten years, devoted
themselves to this study have been re-
warded by the discovery of the course
of development of many lines of ami
mails, so that it is now possible to show
the kind of changes in structure which
have resulted in the species of animals
with which we are familiar as living on
the surface of the earth at the present
time. Not that this continent has Civ
en- us the parentage of all forms of ami
NAL life, or all forms of animals with
skeletons, or vertebrate, but it has
given us many of them. To take the
vertebrate, we have obtained the long,
since extinct ancestor of the very low
est vertebrates. Then we have discov-
cred the ancestor of the true fishes.
We have the ancestor of all the rep
tiles, of the birds, and of the mammals.
Ii we considered the mammals, or milk
givers, separately, we have traced up
great many lines to their points of de-
parture from very primitive things
Thus we have obtained the geneaIogi-
cal trees of the deer, the camels, the
musk, the horse, the tapir, and the
rhinoceros, of the cats and dogs, of the
lemurs and monkeys, and have i'm
portant evidence as to the origin of
man. We have the primitive mammals
from which all these kinds that ] have
mentioned drew their descent, and from
which, no doubt, many other lines were
derived which we have not yet discoy-
cred in North America Such are the
lines of the elephants, the hyeoas, the
bears, the hogs, and the oxen. The
ancestors of the strange, pouch-bear-
ing marsupialia, have been found in

rates as fixed by the railroad commits

consolidation of five or six other rail-
roads, all Of which, save one, had right
by their charters TO fix the amount OF
charges for carrying freight and p&ssen.
gers. Demurrers were filed TO
the pleas and argued some
months ago before Judge
Gresham. The court decided yesterday
that the consolidated company took Its
character from characters of the con-
stituent companies, and that one OF
these comDauies was subject to legisla-
tive control, and that the consoli-
dalton was voluntarily on the part
of the several companies. The case
stood, Judge Gresham held, just as if
the defendant had been organized by
the consolidation OF but two companies,
one independent of legislative contract,
and the other subject TO such contract,
and that In al cases in which doubts
arose as to the powers of the corpora
ton, these doubts should be resolved In
favor of the public. The case will be
carried to the supreme court IN
der Judge Gresham's decision. The
company will be compelled to conform
to the rates fixed by the railroad com
miesiOners.
