The Mammoths of Siberia

In his book on "The Mammoth and
the Flood" Mr.. Howorth advances a
new theory with regard to the re-
mains of mammoths and other large
animals in the soil of Siberia. All
over this great plain, wherever the
gUound is frozen hard, are found NAM
moths and other animals preserved
very fresh. so that the wolves and
bears can feed upon their remains.
These mammoths have been found
from the eastern border clear to the
Obi river. They have been found un-
der conditions which make it certain
that they could not have lived, unless
the surroundings and climate had, at
the time they existed, been entirely
different from the present conditions.
The remains of the plants on which
they fed are also found, and southern
contemporary shells are discovered
with the remains, pointing to climatic
conditions which no longer exist.
Mr.. Howorth believes that this vast
plateau is one of the most recent feat
ures in the physical geography of the
world, and that its rapid elevation

unless these animals had been frozen
Immediately after they died, and re-
mained frozen to this day, they would
certainly have decayed and disap-
peared. A single Siberian summer
sun would have destroyed them COM
pletely. 1t is known that further east
the bones of great animals have been
found 1900 feet above the sea under
conditions which Falconer declared to
be absolutely incompatible with their
mode of life.

CLOUDS Of LOcUSTS.
They Are Believed to Cross the Sahara
Before They Invade Algeria.

The locusts are reappearing in AL
geria in greater numbers than ever in
spite of the efforts that were made by
the French Administration last year to
annihilate the pests. 1t is now believed
that they come clear across the desert
from the Soudan. The period of incu-
baton varies from twenty to thirty
DAYS, and the locusts require only
about two months to attain their COM
plete development. This fact gives a
realizing sense of the prodigious num-
bers in which the terrible insect may
multiply during its progress across the
Sahara. Great clouds of the locusts
have already been seen on the northern
edge of the Sahara making thair way
north. ==-
The news comes from Touggurt and
Ghardaia in the Sahara that early this
year the locusts suddenly invaded
those places in such enormous num-
bers that for four hours they fairly
darkened the heavens. About month
before similar clouds of locusts were
reported in the valley of the Niger
River in the Soudan, and it is believed
that in the four succeeding weeks they
had iourneyed to the northern part OF
the Sahara Thanks to the experience
that has been gained during the three
past years of incessant warfare with
the pests, it is hoped that large part
of the crop this season will be saved
though at enormous expense to the
Government in the way of digging pits
and carrying out other measures by
which they check the further advance
of the invading insects.

Japanese NIodesty.

Travellers in Japan tell of the uncon-
cern with which Japanese will take a
bath in full publicity, and the custom
has impressed foreigners as immodest.
An Englishman who has long been in
the country says there is really moth
ing immodest in the promiscuous
bathing of men, women and children
from Japanese point of view. With
them cleanliness is the object sought
for, and the etiquette of the bathroom
differs from the etiquette of the par
lor. With Europeans, he says, the at
titude of walters is only permitted
when the music is played. 1t is some
thing like this with the japanese bath
ers. When the necessary operation of
washing or doing other work requires
it, to strip becomes duty. On the
other hand, a japanese woman would
scorn to appear decollete. To her eye
our bathrooms are an astonishment,
and the exposure of the person for dis
play is incomprehensible. This writer
thinks that the japanese are not ex-
celled by their western brethren in
modesty.
