Youths Companion.
Students of natural history are much
interested in the recent discovery in
New Zealand of an extensive deposit of
the remains of the gigantic extinct birds
called the moas.
The discovery was made in blowing
through slight depression in a field,
where bog, containing several springs,
had evidently once existed. Here, bur
led III deposit of peat, at depths of
three or four feet, the skeletons of 500
or 900 moas were found, packed and in
tertWined together in q remarkable
manner.
1t was evident that these great birds,
which were much larger than the mod
ern ostrich, varying in height from ten
TO fourteen feet, had persisted there by
wholesale.
An enormous quantity of smooth
quartz pebbles. which they had carried
III their crops, was found with the skel-
etonS. There were also found the re-
mains OF extinct species of other large
birds.
Various explanations have been sug-
gested to account for the destruction OF
such an army of powerful birds. One
theory is that they were overwhelmed
by great storm, and tAat their remains
were heaped together by the combined
action of wind and water. What rem
ders the question still more puzzling is
the fact that collections OF moa skee-
tons, mingled with those of other giant
BIRDS, have been found in similar Situa-
tons elsewhere in New Zealand.
Students of geology are aware that
evidence is sometimes found in the
rocks of the sudden distinctions of
great numbers of animals that formerly
existed on earth, and the resemblance
of such cases to this of the New Zealand
moas is interesting.
We are thus continually reminded of
the perIlS that have beset the inhablt-
ants OF the globe, on every side, from
the very beg inning of its history.

CHRIS Evaos free Aso'n.

Thursday evening Chris Evans, re.
Gently convicted Of numbering Vic Wilson,
made his escape from the Fresno jail and
is now free man. The escape was a
very simply planned affair. A waiter
had been admitted TO Evans cell with
supper and Mrs. Evans had also been
admitted on visit TO her husband.
The cell containing the three had been
locked and when the i.iler came around
TO let the waiter out that gentleman
presented gun ut his head and com
msnded him 10 throw up his hands.
There were no other officers in the jail AT
the tune and Evans and the waiter TAX
ing the jailer with them, walked out
into the street. The j.iler soon broke
away from the two men and gave the
alarm. In going up the street the waiter
ran into the arms Of city marshal Nor.
gan, but with great coolness he proceeded
TO disarm that gentleman, but as he was
turning around The marshal pinioned his
arms to bis side and bys,snder pro.
ceeded to take away his guns. Evans
appeared on the scene and pnt bullet
into the marshal's shoulder and the two
again continued their flight. Coming
across hoy with one horse car. hey
took possession and drove off into the
darkness at a rapid rate. The country
is being secured by officers and the
chances are that Evans will be shot
down without word Of warning should
he be overtaken.
