C0nsummate Skill with Which This Ex.
tinct Leviathan Was Constructed.
This leviathan of the vast plains of
South America, which were once oc-
cupied by immense numbers of the
race, now entirely extinct, partakes of
the generic character of the existing
diminutive slOths. 1t rivaled in size
the largest rhinoceros, was armed
with claws of enormous length AMI
power, its whole frame possessing an
extreme degree of solidity With a
head and neck like those of the sloth
its legs and feet exhibit the character
OF the armadillo and the ant-eater
Some specimens of the animal give
the measurement of five feet across
the launches, and the thigh bone was
nearly three times as thick as that of
the elephant. The spinal marrow
must have been a foot in diameter
and the tail, at the part nearest the
body, twice as large, or six feet in
circumference. The girth of the body
was fourteen feet and half, and the
length eighteen feet The teeth were
admirably adapted for cutting veg-
etable substances, and the general
structure and strength. of the frame
for tearing up the ground in search of
roots, wrenching off the branches of
trees. and uprooting their trunks. on
which it principally fed.
Heavily constructed, and ponder.
ously ACQUIRED" says Dr. Buckand,
in his eloquent description of the
megatherium, cit could neither run.
nor leap, nor climb, nor burrow under
the ground; and all its movements
must have been necessarily slow. But
what need of rapid lOcomotion to an
animal whose occupation of digging
roots for food was almost stationary?
And what need of speed for flicbt
from foes to creature whose giant
carcass was encased in an impene-
trable cuirass, and who, by single
pat Of his paw, or lash of his tail
could in an instant have demolished
the cougar or the. crocodile? Secure
within the panOply of his strong
armor, where was the enemy that
would dare encounter this leviathan
of the Pampas, or in what more pow
erful creature can we find the cause that
has effected the eXtirpation of his race?
His entire frame was an apparatus of
colossal mechanism, adapted exactly
to the work it had to do Strong and
ponderous in proportion as this Great
ure was heavy and I'm yieldy, it was,
nevertheless, suited to its pristine con-
dition, and in many other respects was
it calculated to be the vehicle of life
and enjoyment to a gigantic race of
quadrupeds, which, though they have
ceased to be counted among the living

their fossil bones left behind them i'm

mate skill with which they were con-
structed. IN. Y. Ledger.

''This doll that 1 am working on now

OF the modern toys are made of iron
that his business has been greatly in
terfered with; these toys being indie
structible, they never require his SER
vices. In the dull season the toy
mender mends china, glass and wood

toy mending requires a delicate touch
and much patience, besides a certain
artistic sense. A few years ago lady,

almost priceless set of coffee-cups

was to be done? There lay the pieces,
not one larger than fve-cent piece.
Every cup and saucer was different in
decoration from every other cup and
saucer, and it seemed hopeless to think
of matching them with the pieces all
mixed up. Every fragment was care
fully picked up, and taken to little OLD
shop where was little old man famous
for mending delicate objects. He grew
very much excited when shown the
pieces, and said he could mend the set
If not all, at least some. few weeks
later the set was returned, every piece
perfect to the eye. and the only way to
discover that they had ever been
broken was by holding piece up to
the light; then there were seen dark
lines running in every direction. What
wonderful skill and patience it required
to do that work!-Christian Union.

Charms against almost any of the
ills and accidents of life can be OBJ
tanned in Burmah, of the Buddhist
priests, for a trifling consideration. In
this respect the priests constitute a
sort of travellers accident insurance
company" One of them will furnish
a charm warranted to protect the wear
er against being shot. for two or three
dollars. One of these charms, obtained
by an English officer, consisted of a
small image of a god, not much larger
than pea, carved on ivory. In order
to make the charm efficacious against
sword wounds, medicine made by the
priest, to be paid for extra, had to be
eaten.
