DOVER, Del, July 1.-The preparation
for the celebration of the Fourth is going
forward and every effort is being put
forth to make this the largest day Dover
has seen for years. The Town Council
has contributed $50 from the funds to-
wards paying the necessary expenses.
This has caused some dissatisfaction
among the taxpayers. Very few of our
citizens know Of the hourishing
circumstances of the town treasury.
It is a we'll known fact here that our
town from some cause, is never lighted
when the almanac says there swill be
moonlight nights, whether it is moon
light or rainy and dark as Erebus This
has raised some complaint and if the
Council feel its purse growing flush they
would do well to attend to this want.
and let private individuals, whose affairs
it is, look after the celebration contribu-
tions.

the British navy on the admiralty list,
irrespective OF tugs and the like, which
cannot properly be called war ships, 81
armored and partially -srmored vessels,
and 15l unRrmored vessel. Besides the
above. there are in the colonies the fol-
lowing number Of war ships: India, 2
Queensland 3; South Australia, / ; Victo-
ria, Y all Of which latter are properly
British vessels 1t must be remembered.
however, that Of the 151 unarmored
many Of them are unfit for service, and
only retain position in the active list
because they serve duty as receiving
hulks and training ships. They are,
nevertheless, British war vessels. In the
Russian navy there are in the Baltic feet
thirty one complete armor clad ships and
sixty-nine other crafts. In the Black Sea
feet there are in all forty nine war yes
vessels. In the Siberian and Caspian
iotillas there are twenty-nine vessels in

We're MnmmOths Once Food for Menl

At recent meeting of the Scientific
society of Cope nhsgcn, Professor Steen-
strup gave an account Of the results OF
his examination last year of the great
mammoth deposit at Predmost, in Mora
via. DR.. Wankel and Professor
Maschka, who have devoted much atten-
ton to the subject, are of opinion that
tho mammoths whose remains were
found inthis district we're killed by man,
and that their bodies were dragged
thither 10 be eaten. Professor Steen-
strup, on the contrary, holds that the
mammoths themselves sought the locality
and that they must have died for want
of water, or from some other cause with
which man had nothing TO do. The
splits in tho remains are due, he thinks,
to the action of water and sand, and
afford no support to the notion that the
knuckles were cleft for the sake Of the
marrow. 1t is certain that some of the
bones have been exposed to the action
of fire: lut Professor Steenstrup main
tains that the traces of fire may be due
to the fact that fires were at one time
lighted upon them. On some of them
decorative lines have been scratched,
but those may have been made long after
the mammoth was extinct in Moravia.
The lines, according TO Professor Steen-
strup, are identical with the ornamental
ton of pottery of the Neolithic age
