CoLrHAnp and Brown, placer min
ing on Snake River, near Salmon
Falls, Idaho, unearthed a complete
skeleton of o mastodon. 1t was buried
about twenty-five feet under ground.
The place had at n time evidently
been a whirlpool or eddy of the river.
Many large bones have been found
there. but this last discovery was o
perfect skeleton, it having without
doubt been deposited there while the
hide was yet intact. 1t was about SIX
teen feet long, and it is estimated that
the pile of bones would weigh 5000
pounds Or more. The tusks were be-
tween six and seven feet long. The
tusks and some of the huge molars and
other bones We're preserved, but it was
impossible to save the skeleton entire,
% soon after it was exposed it began
to crumble.

THE CITY OF MEXICO.
IL IL Nice "a Regards Climate, But Its
Sewage Is Awful.


The City OF Mexico il so often described
by newspaper correspondents as a delight

Richard Z. Chism, in the Engineering and
Mining Journal, viii DC received with
amazement by the average reader.
The popular idea Of the city is that in its
perpetual bath in tho sparkling atmosphere
Of an altitude Of !, 40 feet above the sea,
and from its locaaon-to quote from tho

tanning many axes" II must, indeed, be a
place whore the sick and the weary can
find rest and comfort. But tho sanitary
engineer does not see things as others see
thcu, and Mr. Chism describes the capital
city OF Mexico as whIted sepulcher He
says the city has death rate of 40 per
i,Wo, which, be ventures the opinion, is
larger than that of any other city "a the
civilized world.
