REMAINS OF A MAsToDoN.
Discovery of Specimens Near the Mis-
souri, River in South Dakota.


Chamberlain, S. D., Aug. 14.-There
have just been brought to this city some
specimens of bones of prehistoric animals.
Among them is the lower leg bone of a
mastodon. The leg is perfect except in
the lower portion, where part of the hoof
is broken off
The bone weighed 81 pounds. 1t is
feet 5 inches long, with probably or
inches broken off at the top. 1t measures
2 feet inches in diameter at the largest
place, and at the smallest it is foot 3
inches in diameter.
The specimens were found on the west
side of the Missouri river, southwest of
here. The party that found them reports
that there are other specimens there,
which will be obtained soon.
1t was known that in the vicinity there
was the almost perfect skeleton of an i'm
mense buffalo. When the party arrived
on the ground it was found that Indians
had broken the skeleton into pieces.

The largest solid block of coal ever
mined and moved in the Northwest, if
not in the United States, was delivered
safely at the entrance to mine No. 9, in
Roslyn, Monday, and will be placed
aboard the cars this week for shipment
to the Worlds fair. The block is "a
feet long, feet s inches wide and A
feet Sinches high, weighs in the vicin-
ity Of Al 900 pounds, or nearly twenty
two tons. 1t is incased in planks with
heavy iron straps, which it is thought
will preserve it intact in transporting it.
Great skill and ingenuity were neces-
sarily exercised in mining the immense
block, and for fear of some accident,
Superintendent Harrison gave the work
his personal attention.

INCREASING LUMBER TRADE

The lumber trade throughout the en-
tire Puget SOUND continues to increase,
but at no point is the improvement
more marked than on Bellingham bay,
a condition of affairs which promises
to keep at its present rate of advance
until the output of lumber and shingles
from this port is not surpassed at any
other point on the Sound. The ar
rangement of the Northern steamship
company, which operates on the lakes
in connection with the Great Northern,
to handle cedar siding from West SUI
perior to Buffalo at the same rate as is
charged for shingles, will have the
effect of increasing the demand for this
product, as well as for shingles, by
widening their market to include the
cities of the Atlantic seaboard. Mr.. e.
Jones, of West Superior, farher-in-law
of General Manager w. S. Mellen, of
the Northern Pacific, speaking of the
lumber interests of the Sound country
is quoted as follows in yesterdays issue
of the Post. Intelligencer:
We find difficulty in Minnesota and
Wisconsin in getting long, heavy tim
bers and joists and so we are shipping
large quantities from this coast. Your
lumber Is gaining favor In the East and |
think large quantity will be shipped at
the new rates; you will also handle floor
ing and siding from here. Cedar shingles
have the call in the market. The heavy
timber from here is used principally for
dock purposes. Large docks are being
put up at West Superior. Duluth and Two
Harbors, and Puget sound lumter is being
used in them. OF course timber is worked
up much closer with us than with you,
parts which your lumbermen throw away
being made into sash, doors and mould
ings.
The merchantable timber tributary
TO Bellingham bay is almost illimitable
in quantity, besides being OF the finest
quality of fir and cedar to be found
anywhere in the state, the demand for
which, to be used in building bridges
and constructing railroads, being in
augurated during this year for the in
terror markets, promises to speedily
grow into such dimensions as to neces.
state greatly increased cutting capac-
ity over that at present possessed by
the combined power of the Bay mills.
If the development of the coal fields
and other industrial and commercial
possibilities of Whatcom county keeps
pace with its lumber output, it will be
but year or two before the cities of the
Bay will enjoy most satisfactory de-
gree of prosperity.

A Side Wine.

We learn incidentally from the para
graph below what that astronomical ro-
mancer, Camille Flammarion, thinks Of
newspapers. In his mathematical novel,
omega" begun in The Cosmopolitan,
he predicts what would happen to the
earth if great comet should strike it.
The time of his story is the twenty
fourth century. All the astronomers Of
the globe could communicate with one
another in an instant, and the main OBJ
servatory was in the Himalaya noun
tains. Mankind travelled whittier they
would by airships, and every house had
its own telescope. Plain working people
were intelligent in the sciences of the
stars. 1t was one of these who discov-
cred the comet that it was feared would
destroy the earth. The comet grew
larger and larger. Calculations were
made where it would hit.
II comet of the size of the one in
question should hit our earth, then earth
and comet together would explode and
burn up in fragments. If, however, in
stead of striking our world it went into
Jupiter, it would raise the temperature
Of that planet SO immensely that Jupiter
would become second sun, warming
and lighting the earth by night. AT
length what was the CONSERVATION of the
twenty-fourth century people to discover
that this monstrous comet was coming
straight to the earth head onl All the
astronomers in various quarters agreed
ON this. What the twenty-fourth cen.
tury newspapers did Flammarion tells
us thus:
The daily papers sowed broadcast this alarm
/ ing news, embellished with sinister comment,
and numberless Interviews In which the mos
astonishing statements were attributed 10 sci
entists. Their only concern was to outdo tn,
ascertained facts and TO exaggerate their bear
| ing by more or less fanciful additions. AS foi
that matter. tho journals of the world has
long since become purely business enterprises
The sole preoccupation of each was to sell ev
cry day the largest possible number Of copies
They invented false news, travestied the truth
dishonored men and women, spread scandal
lied without shame. explained the devices O
thieves and murderers, published the formula
OF recently invented explosives, imperiled thei
own readers and betrayed every class of soci
ETY. for the sole purpose OF exciting TO the high
est pitch the curiosity of the public and Of "sel
ing copies"

Agricultural Depression.

In this century the price of wheat has
not ruled so low as it has done this
spring. Cotton was down to the bottom
last year, although it is little better at
present. Petroleum and corn are alike
depressed in price. All the raw prod
ucts which America ships abroad share
the same fate. The feeling of dizziness
in agricultural circles is only relieved by
the upward tendency of the beef and
pork market. If farmers had now only
as much value in fat beeves and hogs as
they had excess of wheat last fall, they
would be collectively better off by many
hundred thousand dollars than they are.
The low price of grain and petroleum
is due, economists say, to overproduc-
ton. Russia is our most formidable COM
petitor in petroleum, not to speak of the
vast wheatfelds which she pits against
ours. Hungarian wheat is considered in
European markets of superior quality to
ours. Egypt and India pour the wheat
which their low priced labor has pro-
duced into the European market. Ameri-
can elevators are still gorged with wheat
awaiting sale. Enough Of it will I'M
doubtedly be consumed during the
Worlds fair to make an impression on
this store. Undoubtedly, too, in another
generation our population will have
grown to near the line of the country's
wheat producing capacity.
But meantime the remedy is for farm
ers not to raise so much wheat and corn
This country is varied enough in climate
and soil to grow almost anything that
will grow. If the agricultural expert
ment stations do not teach farmers how
to vary production and make land pay,
they will not be worth the money they
cost. When everybody raises potatoes,
all the world gets sick of potatoes. The
way out of the present agricultural stag
nation is in varied production, and il
ought not to take more than two years
to get out. If farmers will use Their
brains and intelligence. every man can
decide for himself on something that
will help him out.

The question of closing the Worlds
fair ON Sunday has taken a new turn,
workmen throughout Chicago having
presented petitions to their employers
to allow them to work on Sunday in
place of a regular working day, thereby
giving them an opportunity to visit
the fair at least one day in every seven.
This is merely another evidence Of the
fact that wearing crowns is not always
conducive to ones peace of mind. The
action of the workmen, however, does
not alter the rightness or wrongness OF
the congressional legislation on the
subject. 1t only shows that when a
man wills he wills.

DANIEL II. BURNHAM. since then has had
the direction of the greatest mechanical
enterprise ever known to man. Perhaps
no man living is better qualified for the
work. This is no light praise, but since
it is based upon what Mr.. Burnham has
actually accomplished it cannot be con-
sidered undeserved.
AS an artist and architect he had to
sit in Judgment on the work of his asso-
ciates in planning the buildings and
grounds of the White City," and as ex-
ecutive head of the department of con-
struction to see that those plans were
carried out to the minutest detail. Many
men doubted the possibility of complet-
ing the exposition buildings on time.
The seeming impossibility did not daunt
Mr.. Durham, who wasted no time in
words, but went ahead and worked. The
successful accomplishment of his great
task places his name high on the list of
those who have done great things in
architectural and artistic lines.
Mr.. Burnham is native of jefferson
county, N. Y, and about AZ years of
age. He went to Chicago in 1855 and
received his early education there. He
has devoted himself to architecture since
1867, and many Of the largest and finest
business buildings in the Windy City,
and indeed in almost every big city in
the United States, bear testimony to his
genius and skill.

line minds. The fact that it has caused
considerable keen criticism may be taken
as an indication that our wives and
daughters do not propose to accept the
dictum of the national council without
protest.
Four costumes are recommended. The
first, called the Syrian, has a divided
skirt which looks like a pair of baggy
Turkish trousers reaching to point Just
below the knee. Soft, lightweight ma
terial is suitable for this skirt. An outer
garment to wear over scant Syrian
skirt may be something like the Russian
blouse made longer, an easy fitting
princess gown, or something suggested
by graceful ulster or sIeeved cloak pat
terms.
There is a modified Syrian" of which
the report says: In walking the divi-
sion is simply limited at, not defined, as in
the Syrian, and the upper part of the
dress is more conventional and there
fore attracts less notice. Any of the
short costumes which do not demand
ieggings (and this does mott are improved
by wearing extra high boots with
them"
A dress for the gymnasium and house
wear is recommended which will be
found a great relief from long skirts.
On slender figures it is said to be really
beautiful. This suit requires no special
pattern. The fronts are cut in one piece
from the shoulder TO the knee and the
dress buttons in front under the fullness.
In the back the waist is separated from
the trousers, buttoning together at the
waist line under the girdle.
The American costume, which is
strongly recommended, is SO easily made
that it calls for no special directions. II
demands leggings, which should be made
OF material the same color as the gown.
There is also a street costume which
looks very much like the American cos
tune, except that it has a mans vest and
a sack coat with balloon sleeves. 1t
should be made of navy blue serge.
IL Is suggested that the Worlds fair is
good place for women to try the expert
ment of wearing these novel costumes.
