Trustworthy scouts who returned to
Pine Ridge agency, from the Bad
Lands say the forty-seven Indians sent
out there as peacemakers few days
ago were roughly handled, the pipe OF
peace shot to pieces, and they were
compelled to leave. They say if while
men had been sent out on similar
errand they would surely have been
killed. as the Indians appear much ex-
cited and determined on having fight.

was already issued to his name. The
secret service was put on the cases

Prehistoric Animals.

All the magnificent buildings OF Paris
are made of limestone taken from
quarries near the city. These quarries
are composed of layers made entirely
from the tiny shells of microscopic
animals. No less than one hundred
aud thirty-seven species exist in these
limestone beds. There were other lit,

enormous share Of tho bodybuilding.

shells resemble coins. In Germany
they arc commonly called the devils
money" They are SO perfectly formed
that one cannot help thinking, on first
looking at them. that they have been
stamped with a die. In some places
mountains of great height are made OF
their shells. In Egypt the layers are
of such extent that since centuries be-
fore Christ the rock has been used for
building purposes. The ancient Pyra.
niids and the Sphinx are made of this
rock.
Beds Of lignite.a kind of half-fnished
coal. are also found amongst the rocks
of this age. With it is found the yell
low amber. which is only fossil resin
from species of pine tree. 1t is
abundant on the shores Of the Ger

preserved in it as on the day they
