THE MASTODON ONCE MORE

More or less Of the remains of a mastodon,

sort Of a monster. have been found in Nunda.
Livingston County, this State. Ncw-Yori has
lcen a fruitful field for such big finds. Nca
the beginning of the present century the skcc
ton of a mastodon of which very little of the
original was wanting was discovered thirty or
forty miles up the Hudson. 1t attracted crowds
i'm London for a while and later was a leading
attraction of a Philadelphia museum. Since
then several fairly complete skeletons have been
found in different portions Of the State, besides
IA large quantity of iIagmcntaiy mastodon
remains. One of the latest Of the sIlcc-
tons was dug up at Cohocs, Albany County,
and is preserved in the State Geological Hall al
the capital. Another of them was secured for
a Boston collection.
II is impossible at present to determine how
important the latest discovery is, as only por-
ton of the skeleton has been disinicncd. Thus

men and women who have made teaching profess
sion, and who bring to bear upon it all the enthus-
asm of their nature And then the boys and girls
of the city see, better than country boys and girls
the Importance OF education. They are surrounded
by o strenuous and busy life in which many and
great are the prizes to be gained by those who have
plucked tho fruit from the tree,of knowledge. 1t
is not wonderful therefore, that the spirit Of this
life soon possesses them, and not only urges them
to study but often tempts them to leave school for
active lie long before their studies are properly
ended.
Undoubtedly the great multiplication Of studies
in modern schools. especially city schools, has been
a misfortune in many ways, but it is difficult to
say how the evil shall be remedied. The best that
teachers do is to try to strike happy medium
between too much supericaty on the one hand
and too much narrowness on the other; so that
while the pupils are taught some one thing well,
they may have ut the same time, at least an intel
ligent appreciation Of the whole circle of modern
knowledge. And ID is pleasant to know that the
public schools Of this city are. on the whole doing
all that can be done to attain that desirable end.

odus would not be surprising.

Ireland is not the only part of the British
Empire likely to cause the British Government
trouble in the immediate future. According 70
THE TRIBuNE's special cable this morning the
state of India is such that severe crisis IN It's
relations with England seems impending. Cur
rent English opinion attributes the difficulty 10
financial causes, and Royal Commission to
inoulrc into the matter has been appointed.
What its conclusions may be, no one Will dare
to predict but if the Commissioners really
want to lcarn the whole truth they should not
fail to study the effect of England's frcc-trade
policy en- her Indian dependency.

THE OPENING or the PUBLIC SCHOOLS

THE OPENING or the PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The public schools open to-day. and young hui

hidden all summer. With sOmeth hing possibly OF

great and complex institutions like the public
schools OF a city with the romantic interest that
cngs to the memory of the little red school house on
the NIL in the country. The city boy or girl Is apt to
look upon the school a somewhat unpleasant but
necessary agency for the supply OF Indispensable
facts-notning more. There is little idylllc gamor
about either the school building its intellectual

TERRIBLE FATE.


One of the most distressing accidents
recorded in this vicinity for II long time
occurred at the woolien mill in WinOoski
about o'clock Friday morning. Joseph
Laferier was engaged in shifting the belt
on to the pulley which runs the machn-
cry in the wet gig room when his sleeve
caught on the set screw of the pulley. The
machinery not being attached to the shaft
ing, tue latter was revolving swiftly
and the unfortunate man was drawn
around the pulley ut rapid rate, his legs
during each revolution striking the cell
ing overhead, the side of the building and
the machinery underneath. His horror
stricken companions did everything in
their power To rescue him. One tried to
throw OIL the main belt, but found TINS
impossible Another turned off the water
from the wheel but the momentum OF the
shaftiug being great and unimpeded
When it finally came to II stand still
ii is estimated that the shaft had made
nearly POO revolutions, and strange rs 1t
may seem, the victim was not unconscious,
which can be accounted for only by the
fact that his vital parts remained near the
shafting and so did not come into contact
with any obstacle As soon rs possible he
was dsengaged, when it was found that
one leg was broken in nine different places
and the other in eight, while one arm WAS
pulled from Its suCkct,and he also sustained
various internal injuries. The unfortu-
nate man was removed to his home Il
short distance from the mill and every
thing possible was done for him, but in
half an hour death released his sufTering9
