vessel bound for San Francisco few
years ago, who, while becalmed in the Pacific,
saw an animal on the bottom beneath his ship
which was about sixty feet in length, resem-
bling in all respects the plesiosaurus Of the
Mosozoic epoch. Naturalists have never de-
MED that few survivors of that age
Of reptiles might still exist but they
have been very skeptical as to the
likelihood of such a thing and they are nat

positively to a description of the beast which
accOrds perfectly and in every respect with

saurian was in that strange era Of the past.
THE KnAKEN.
''There il a third fabulous monster Of the
deep, firmly believed in q century or so ago,
which may be presumed to be wholly crea-
ture Of the Imagination. It was called the
'krsken' and was 30 enormous that when il
came to the surface the people frequently mis-
took the animal for floating island. You may
recollect that Sinbad the Sailor landed upon
such = one, which sank beneath him. This
astonishing beast frequented the North sea-
where the fishermen at once dreaded and found
profit in its presence. Sometimes, when drop
ping their lines far out at sea, they found an
unexpected shallow and knew it to be caused
by the fact that o kraken lay beneath. In such
an unnatural shallow fish were always
very plentiful, and they stayed to catch them
until the rapid decrease, in depth Of the
water warned them that the mighty beast wa,
rising to the surface. Then they rowed away
hastily, presently beholding from Q distance
the back Of the animal elevated above the sur.
face, perhaps measuring . mile and half in
circumference. Its horns were as high as the
masts Of q middle-sized vessel, and it was said
that they were powerful enough to pull down
the largest man-of-war. When descending the

THE NARROW GAUGE EXTENSION.
Some Better Prospects for its Being Made
During the Coming Summer.

The Denver papers continue to agitate
the improvement of transportation facili-
ties between central New Mexico and
Colorado. In the course of an editorial
on the subject the Denver Republican,
speaking of the two proposed routes
one direct down the barren White Rock
canon from Espanola and the other via
Santa Fe, Cerrillos and San Pedro to AL
buquerque-says
at has been suggested that it would be
better to build the proposed line from
Santa Fe instead OF from Espanola. The
distance from Santa Fe to Albuquerque is
about the same as from Espanola. If
this plan were adopted it would involve
the utilization of the narrow gauge line
which now connects Espanola with Santa
Fe. There are several arguments in favor
OF this project, but they are of more in
terest to Santa Fe and Albuquerque than
they are to Denver. What Denver wants
is the connection with Albuquerque and
the central part of New Mexico. 1t al
ready has, in the narrow gauge road just
mentioned, connection by way of Espa-
nola with Santa Fe. Denver people would
be about as ready to help the one project
as the other. 1t would probably be better
for the Albuquerque and Santa Fe people
to work together than to let their interests
conflict"
This is very good advice from an out
side source that business men OF Albu-
querque and Santa Fe should profit by.
When the northern and central New
Mexico delegates to the Trans Mississippi
congress meet in Denver on May 10, it
would be good time to get together and
call on the d. & r. G. officials respecting
this project. In this connection the fol-
lowing from the Albuquerque Citizen of
this morning is republished:
"There was report current on the
street Saturday afternoon that an engi-
neer commissioned by the D. & R. G.
