People Who Live Over 1000 Feet High.
The population between :, 900 and .. 600
feet is found mainly on the slope of the
great western plains. In this region the
belt between 1900 and 5000 feet is al
most everywhere the debatable ground
between the arid region of the Cordil-
leran plateau and the humid region Of
the Mississippi valley Above 5000 feet
irrigation is almost universally neces-
sary for success in agricultural opera

"You are mistaken, said Professor
Ward, 'though your mistake has been
that Of the world Of science until recent
ly. Bones Of the mastodon have been
found split open in such way that the
object of breaking them was evident. 1t
was to obtain the marrow within But
more, the stone head of hatchet with
which the work was done has been found
near by. Now, there are no animals
which use stone hatchets to break up
bones. That hatchet head was once the
implement Of some primeval warrior A
shoulder blade Of the mastodon, bone
comparatively thin, has been found
pierced, as if by spear, and the spear
head has been found with it. The speas.
was evidently thrust in and withdrawn
from the body Of the animal. and when
it was withdrawn its head was probably
torn off. Monkeys don't carry spears.
"But, though these evidences are con
vincing enough. they are not the best
proof we have that man existed in the
days Of the mammoth and the mastodon
and has survived them both Anti
quarians who have spent SO much time
in an endeavor to discover the meaning
of the mounds erected By the mound
builders have made one thing certain.
Many of these mounds were constructed
in the shape Of animals and birds. There
on the wall hang number Of facsimiles
Of these mounds They were prepared
by member Of the Milwaukee His
torical society. There is one which evil
IDENTIFY represents hawk or some similar
bird of prey with outstretched wings
and there is another which evidently
portrays some squirrellike animal with
remarkably long tail and here you
have as perfect a representation Of an
elephantlike animal as could well be con
trived
"Now. had the mound builders been
as learned in comparative anatomy as we
are, and had they reconstructed a mas
todon as we have, they could never have
understood the meaning of the cavity in
the skull which indicates to us that the
animal had trunk We could never
have done that had we not seen an ele-
phant. No, the mound builders saw the
mastodons before they became extinct.
They hunted them and, perhaps, were
practically Instrumental in their exter-
mination. Rochester Pnst-Express

GIGANTIC GEMS.

The most perfect production of the Col

Pitt diamond, which weighed, after several
cuttings, 106 carats. 1t was sold to the
king of France in 1720 for S500,00

The Brazilian mines were discovered in
1928 From these diamond was taken
weighing 1850 carats, or fourteen ounces. 1t
was sent to the court of Portugal, where it
was valued at e224, 100000. Later, how
ever, more conservative and trustworthy
judges set its value at a400,000
The rajah of NATHAN owns q diamond
that weighs 1857 carats. Many years ago
the governor OF Borneo wished to buy it,
and offered in exchange $500, 900, with two
war vessels equipped with a number of
cannon and quantity of shot to boot. But
the rajah refused to part with it on ally
terms.
The great diamond of the emperor of
Russia weighs 1913 carats. The Empress

The Sanoi diamond weighs 100 carats. 1t
was sent as pledge to King Henry III by
Its owner, Sanci, a Frenehman. The serv-

was attacked on the road by robbers, but
managed to swallow the diamond before he
was murdered. Sanci afterward found the
body, cut open the stomach and recovered
the diamond.
