"Ths Wedge OF Gold" is .

In HE opening chapter the dis,in.

that "rhe .plrnior of tho world is

mines supply. The fields Of the
world give men food; with food fur.

In this last group of monsters we come
still more nearly to the types of mammals
as they exist to-day. All these are on a
much larger scale than our types of the
same families. but there is no character
istic that is in any especial sense monstrous
or unnatural, except Of bulk. Indeed, all
these last monsters either lived close up to
the eof man or were known and hunted
by primitive man.
The first Of these, the mammoth, is the
best known of all extinct monsters, be-
cause of its interesting living type-relative,
the elephant. The beast was from IL to %
feet in hight, with tusks from 9 to 10 feet
long, and his body was covered with long,
coarse hair, everything soft, thick, brown
wool. He lived in almost every part of the
globe but was particularly at home in the
temperate and Arctic regions. He seems to
have been drawn gradually north ward, aud
to have become extinct on the northern
shores Of Siberia. Allied TO the mammoth
and also to the elephant was the msstodon,
which almost as mighty as the mammoth.
The mestodon fourished long before NAM
moth, and in all probability lasted long
after the last mammoth had persisted, The
American Indians have many traditions as
TO an animal that resembled the mastodon,
and as there seems to be no other way of ex-
planning it, the scientists are inclined to be-
lIeVe that the mastodons we're roaming the
American continent at least far into the age
of men.
The woody rhinoceros was a contempo-
rary Of the mammoth, and, like the man.
moth. was so protected that it could go into
the outer regions. Its remains have been
found in the far northern Siberian soil, and
even parts of its body. fairly we'll preserved

Of the present day. The great Irish deer
so called because the first specimen was
found in Ireland, was fine figure in the
age Of mammals, with his great antlers,
measuring feet from tip to tip. just twice
the average distance between the tips of the
antlers Of the moose. He stood 10 feet or
thereabouts from the ground to the top
of his antlers. Then there were the Moa
birds, 10 and IL feet high, that ran in
Australasia, especially in New Zealand,
almost to the time Of living men; the great
sea COW, 10 feet long and more, which has
vanished within the century, aud many

SCRANTON, Pa, March 5.-A daring en-
gneer on the Delaware and Hudson rail-
road, named Gardner, at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, in the presence of over 1000
people, brsved the revolvers of twenty five
policemen at the Lackawanna avenue
bridge. There is a quarrel Of two years
standing between the city authorities and
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company,
owing to the refusal Of the mayor To per-
nit the company to enter upon certain
land for depot purposes The city is now
repairing a span of the Lackawanna ave-
nue. bridge, beueath which pass the double
tracks of the company. To repair this
span it became necessary to erect two
wooden pillars tetW cen the tracks. This
wss done early this morning.
When the com pany learned Of it, wreck
ing crew was sent to the bridge to remove
the pillars. Three of the men were ar
reinforcemeuts When they returned they
had with them an engine and freight car,
which they placed on the track and chained
together.
twenty-five policemen with drawn re-
voyerB guarded the fridge, and warned the
engineer that be would be shot il be tried "a

has called out posse, and the police are

cality.
