81 per cent pure, while the dollar
is but 80 per cent pure. Single

A FAMOUS TREASURE-HOUSE
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
Morocco has famous treasure
house, which, although not so im-
portant as it was once, still contains
a large part OF the Sultan's accumu-
,ations from the heavy taxes lmpos-
ed on his people. There are st
D, esent three sub.treasuries, where
considerable part OF the country's
revenue is kept. The chief reposl-
tory, however, and the only one
which is well known, is at Miknas,
on the road between Fee and the
city Of Morocco.
In the course of time an immense
amount of money has been kept
in that strongly guarded receptacle.
The treasure is in the form of gold
and silver, good deal OF it coined
and great deal in the form of bar
metal.
Morocco is not very expensive
government to carry on, although
the people are burdened with heavy
taxes. The Sultan's outgo is chiefly
for the expenses of his court, for
the payment of his pension roll,
which amounts to considerable
sum, for the entertainment of his
guests, and for bis army, which,
however, is not heavy drain on
the treasury.
The officers OF the state cost the
government comparatively little,
for they are expected, in their own
provinces to bleel the people for
their personal advantages. Very
little is expended for streets, road.,
bridges. prisons and ether things
which cost most governments a
great deal of money. The Sultan
boards large part of the sums he
receives from taxes to add to bis

AN ANCIENT BIRDLAND.


Scientific American.
For ages before its occupation
by man New Zealand swarmed with
great wingless birds, which found
here no carnivorous enemies, but
an abundance of vegetable food.
The moas not only existed in vast
numbers and for thousands OF
years, but had such diversity of
form as to embrace no less than
seven genera, containing twenty
five species remarkable fact
which is unparalleled in any other
part of the world. The commonest
kinds in the North Island were
only from two and one-halt to four
feet high. Those OF the South
Island were mostly from four to
six feet tall, while the giant forms,
reaching twelve aud thirteen feet,
were always rare. Immense de-
posits OF moa bones have been
found in localities to which they
appear to have been washed from
the hills in tertiary times. Skele-
tons on the surface of the ground,
with skin and ligaments still attach
ed, have given the impression that
these birds have been exterminat-
ed in very recent years, but other
facts point to different concla-
sion. Tradition seems to show,
according to Mr.. f. W. Hatton,
that the moa became extinct in
the North Island soon after the
arrival of the Maoris in New Iea-
lAnd--that is, not less than 400 to
500 years ago and in the South
Island alb ,ut hundred years later.

ments are supposed to have been
preserved by unusually favorable

FOAMING NONSENSE.

Here is a person who is trying
to joke some Colorado miners, if
the following statements are
correct, which appears in the
Boulder Oamara:
"a. w. S. Rothermel, NJ. e., is
the nams of a very intelligent
gentleman quartered at the Brain
ard, who comes here as a philan-
thropist in the interest of our
miners. Prof. Rothermel claims
to be able to take piece of ore
from any man and give the exact
location of it, describe the vein
from which it was produced, all
the dips and angles and to ac-
curstely state all the cross-leads of
the vein. He will locate pockets,
if any, their depth and position
and will lead anyone to the very
spot whence the ors came. He
engaged party Of Boulder gentle
men in discussion of this matter
Monday night and told them
marvellous things. He does not
proceed upon the theory of mind
reading, doesn't believe in spirit
ualistic methods, but claims to
operate on scientific methods alone,
the ore being the only test. His
is no divining rod nor witch hazel
scheme. These claims he scouts
as cfiimerss- and catch. affairs. He
claims that ore has life and its
very existence and growth can be
traced.

"ABLE-BODIED VOTERS"

In response to an inquiry by the
governor the solicitor general of
the territory writes as follows
regarding certain features OF the
election law:
DEAR SIR: Your favor Of this
date asking my official opinion as
to whether persons old and infirm
so as not to be liable bodied per-
sons" would have a right to vote
without the payment of the poll
tax required by law to be levied on
"all able bodied male persons over
the age of 2l years" has had my
earnest attention in view of the
great Importance of the question
raised, and in reply would say
that the organic act of the territory
gives to the legislature the right
to prescribe the qualifications OF
electors with certain restrictions
upon the legislature. The poll
tax can only be levied upon an
able bodied male person over the
age of 81 years. The levy is made
by the county assessor putting the
names of such persons as are liable
to pay such tax upon the list, and
certifying the same to the clerks of
the several school districts, practic-
ally making that officer the Judge
as to the physical liability Of a
person to pay the tax, and if the
name of an infrm person other
wise qualified as an elector does
not appear upon the assessors list,
the tax has not been levied upon
MIN.
Ny opinion from careful con-
slderation of all the statutes upon
the subject Is that person who is
not cable bodied" is not required
to pay POLL tax, but if he has the
other qualifications necessary to
constitute an elector he has a right
to be registered and to cast his
ballot, and that thu fact that his
name is omitted from the assessors
list of those required to pay poll
tax is prima facie evidence, at
least, of his not being required to
do SO.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD l.. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General.

AN EXTINCT MONSTER.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The steamer City of Topeka,
which arrived from Alaskan ports
early Tuesday morning, brought a
mammoth skeleton that was the
center of attraction to a large num-
ber of sight-seers at Pacific wharf
yesterday, states the Port Town
send Leader, The skeleton is that
of rhamphoreates, or whale lizard,
only the second one known TO be
in existence. The other, much
smaller specimen than this, was
found some years ago nerr Oxford,
England, and is one of the most
valued specimens now on exhibit
ton In the British Museum. }, l..
Buck of Everett claims the honor
of having brought this valuable
relic to light, although it was dis
covered four years ago by pros
pector named Frank Willoughby.
The spot where the skeleton was
found by Buck, who went north
for that purpose, was nearly a
mile from where the original loca-
ton was reported. The skeleton
was finally located by Buck and
his Indian assistant on top Of the
celebrated Muir glacier, six miles
inland and 500 feet above the sea
level, securely imbeddei In large
cake of ice, requiring the service of
the entire party for two days to
dislodge it. At some time during
its existence the skeleton was badly
crushed, presumably by fall or
Ivy being shattered, and was some
what damaged when taken out.
The rhamphoreates, or whale
lizard, has been extinct for over
FIVE centuries and is described in
natural history as the "king OF the
land and the sea" this cognomen
being undoubtedly based on the
fact that it was equally at home in
the water, on land or in the air.
In the FIRST instance the rate of
speed was something terrific. the
momentum being produced with
the legs, while the enormous wings
served to keep the body out of the
water, the operation bordering upon
the Impossible feat of walking on
the water. The great size of the
whale lizard can be judged from
the fact that a single bone weighed
794 pounds, while the entire skels-
ton tipped the scales at 2,400
pounds. The bones will be put
by Buck at his home in
