AmerIca,s Pre.Historio Animals.

As time progressed and age succeeded
age the great Wahsatch lake separated
into two, the time being represented bv
some of the most remarkable and colossal
OF mammals Man was still as primitive
as ever, and had probably made but little
advancement in the arts, still defending
himself with implements of stone or wood
and living in caves or trees The animals
that constituted the game of this tertiary
hunter were remarkable. By the streams
where the foliage provided abundant food
grazed the lOXOlOphodon, an animal of
elephantine proportions, armed with fierce
tusks, arranged perhaps in pairs upon its
head, giving it a frightful appearance.
Among the rocks and brush were animals
resembling our cats, wolves, bats, moles
and squirrels, large birds, ostrich, eagles.

of those today.
The American hunter at this time
chased the elephant, camel and rhinoceros.
or their ancestors. One, the elotherium.
was hog like creature with short legs.
but as large as an elephant, the head
armed with pair of extraordinary tusks
or prOtruberances. The diieratherium was
rhin9ceros like form, with horns placed
transversely across the mouth. These
strange beasts, owing to their weight and
motions, must have offered but little re-
sistance to the agile hunters; yet they were
frequently in great danger, and in turn
probably often fell a victim to the gigantic
machairOdus, that was n tiger with enor-
nous tusks, like sabers. This monster
could have cut u man in two at a single
bite, and in all probability was more of a
menace to animal life than the tiger of
tOday.-C. +. Halder in philadelphia

Power of the Russian Police.

There is no power on earth so arbitrary,
so OmnipOtent, so Omnicient and so re-
mOrseless as the Russian police! I shall
have something more to say about them
in a future letter, but stop here to advise
every traveller bound for Russia, of what
ever age, sex or nationality, to take a
passport properly indorsed by the repre-
sentative Of the Russian government at
New York or Washington. 1t will do no
harm, and it may be useful to have both. for
the Russian police are of an inquiring frame
of mind and lack confidence in human
virtue. With passport properly vised, a
strict obedience to all the regulations that
are plain and unmistakable, a discreet
tongue and a decent behavior, one can be
as safe and comfortable as in any country
on the globe, and see much and enjoy
much that cannot be seen or enjoyed else
where. 1t has few picturesque land
scapes, no mountains and no springs; but
the people and the palaces, the churches
and the customs, will revivify the most
blase traveller, and the gayeties of botl
the summer and winter seasons offer q
treat to those who have exhausted Paris
and other social centers of the world
