A NIammoth's skeleton.

The largest mammoth skeleton in the
world is on exhibition at the Washing
ton State building at the Chicago fair.
In the spring of 1878 Mr.. Copelin, a
farmer living in the southwestern part
of Spokane county, state of Washington,
was digging a drain through a muddy
hollow, about 90 feet square, when he
came upon some unusually large bones.
He wisely exercised great care in dig
ging out the bones, and the result was
that science secured valuable prize
Professor W. X. Higley has prepared
brief record of this work, showing that
121 bones or their fragments had been
found, aggregating 700 pounds in weight.
The length of the tusks is feet 10
inches; circumference of the tusk at
base, 81 inches; number of laminae of
lower teeth, 10; breadth of lower teeth,
81 inches; length of lower teeth, 10
inches; breadth of the lower jaw at the
condyles, % inches: breadth of atlas, IS
inches; height of atlas, 8! inches; height
of pelvis, 81 inches; breadth of pelvis, GO
inches; height of scalpula, % inches;
length of humerus at middle of shaft, 10
inches. These are accurate measure
ments OF the true bones in the mounted
skeleton. The height of this skeleton as
it stands is - feet, while that of the IA

Newspapers Anpreciated.

There is a man in New Hampshire
named William C. Todd who holds to
the theory that he is benefting his fell
low creatures when he puts abundant
supplies of newspapers within their
reach. He lately provided for an ex-
penditure of $4,000 a year for newspa-
pers for the Boston public library, and
it has since been discovered that he re-
Gently made a similar provision for the
public library of Newburyport. He be-
lieves in the value of newspapers, and
yet it seems that he is not patent medi-
cine man, as one might suppose, but
retired schoolmaster, who has been a
great traveller and now pursues life OF
studious retirement in village.
In extenuation of his action he declares
that the press has become the great
agency by which information is diffused
and the people are educated, and that
free reading rooms are likely to be more
in demand in the future than free libra
ries.
1t is interesting to notice that he seems
not to have suffered from the newspaper
publicity about which there is so much
complaint, and that even his neighbors
in Atkinson where he lives, were found
to possess scarcely any reliable informa-
ton about his past career or the size of
his fortune They knew him to be fru-
gal in his personal habits and generous
in his benefactions, but that was ALL

bicycles Not Available For War.

The use of the bicycle for military
purposes, after having developed with
great rapidity in France, has suddenly
received a check. General Loizillon,
the minister of war, has, it appears, little
faith In it. He has issued an order that
the cyclist corps are only to be used on
prepared ground.
In time of war, he says, their use,
even if no account is taken of the liabili-
ty of the machines to break, is likely to
cause serious miscalculations, and they
can only rarely be substituted for men
on horseback. The cyclists henceforth,
therefore, or until some successor to
General Loizillon more favorable to
them is appointed. will be reserved, by
his instructions, for garrison duty, for
the great maneuvers and i'll time of war
for certain easy communications at the
rear of the forces.-London News.

A CoutaSion of Epilepsy.

a curious, well authenticated case of
contagious epilepsy occurred among the
Northamptonshire rifle volunteers, who
returned home on Saturday after a
weeks camping out at Wakefield Lawn,
the Northamptonshire residence of the
Duke of Grafton. At $50 in the morn
ing, while in the act of changing
guard, a sergeant, overcome by the
heat, fell to the ground in an epileptic
fit. The bugle was at once sounded for
the ambulance, and one or two stopped
to assist the sergeant. Almost imme-
diately another volunteer fell in a SINH
lar fit, and in the course of the next two
minutes five more dropped to the ground
insensible, leaving only five of the Il
men present unaffected. The ambu-
