Leon del Mar, Frenchman at
tached to the surveying corps con-
nected with the National Museum, San
Jose, Costa Rica, reports find of
equal or greater value than the Mon
tezuma (Col.), fossilized monster.
Leo's find is not "Dinosaur' or other
half mythical creature which the lapse
of ages has transformed into stone,
but a common everyday whale, 216
feet in length, with bones mineralized
until they are es hard as jasper and as
heavy as lead. The "Museo' officials
are in quandary, and are debating
as to which would be the cheapest, to
move their museum buildings over onto
the mountain range where the petri-
fed monster lies, or to try to transfer
his flinty remains to the Costa Rican
capital.
The point selected by this antedi-
luvian giant when he concluded to
give up the ghost, along about the
time of the close of the cretaceous or
some other geological period, is a rift
between two mountain peaks, seventy
two miles from San Jose and $500 feet
above sea level. There must have been
a season of high waters in that section
at one time. Either that or Del Mar s
specimen was a regular mountain
climber. Louis Republic.

't1t has passed into a proverb that
racing is the sport of kings; it can with
truth be stated" declares Outing "that
trotting is the international equine
sport of the American people. 1t is
true that in New York, Chicago and a
few Southern cities the thoroughbred
hourishes while the trotter does not,
but throughout the balance of the
country and in the Dominion of Canada
trotting and its relative gait, pacing,
provide the popular and universal sport.
1t is natural that it should be SO, for
while it gratifies that love for equine
contests which is a leading character
istic of the Anglo-Saxon race, it also
appeals to the patriotism and the utili-
tarianism of the American nature. The
trotter is an American production. He
is grand and distinct type or branch
of the equine family. By the applica-
tion of the laws of selection, training
and development, the American breeder
has evolved a perfect trotting race as
superior to its original crude elements
rs the thoroughbred of to-day is to the
parent horse of the desert"

and fire came into his eyes. Then,
suddenly. he grew dizzy again. Iron
fingers seemed to be pressing upon his
temples with the terrible clutch of
death, and he staggered away like a
drunken man.
He wandered the streets for hours !;
whirl of memories in his brain, a
leaden weight upon his heart-up one
thoroughfare and down another,
through by-ways, in and out of blind
alleys, seeing no thing, caring for moth
ing but to escape from himself and the
torture that was within him.
Presently he became conscious OF
the sound of tapping waves-the muir
muir of waters-and chill in the air
that pierced him to the marrow. Re.
called thus to realization of his phys

that he was standing on the extreme
end of long pier, with the dark river
flowing below. A keen wind was
blowing in his face; Thousand lights
glittered on the opposite shore.

did l not take that one as L took the
others? And, oh, must have taken

He stood for moment in Hesitation.
Something was whispering to him to
take that one step more. 1t was for
her, it told him, that he had adopted
the church as his calling. OF what
use was all his learning-his Greek and
Latin and Hebrew, his knowledge Of
the Bible, his knowledge of theology +?
What good would he do?
Then another voice, lower, sweeter,
more tender in its pleading, spoke to
