40 inches; circumference of humerus at
middle OF shaft, 10 inches. These are
accurate measurements OF the ture bones
III the mounted skeleton. The height of
this skeleton as it stands is 10 feet,
while that OF the famous st. Petersburg
specimen is only 0 feet 3inches. Speak
ing OF the st. Petersburg specimen, Dana,
in his Manual OF Geology, has the fol-
lowing; This ancient elephant was
over twice the weight OF the largest mod
ern species, and nearly a third larger.
The body was covered with reddish
wool and long black hair. One OF the
tusks measured 1913 feet in length; it
was curved nearly into circle, though
little obiquely. At the mouth of the
Lena one OF these animals was found at
the beginning OF this century, frozen and
encased in ice. 1t measured l6 feet 4
inches in length to the extremity OF the
tail exclusive OF the tusks, and feet 1
inches in height. 1t retained the wool
on its hide, and was so perfectly pre-
served that the flesh was eaten by the
dogs"
This species is known to science as FL
ephas primigenius, Other large elephan-
tine specimens are rs follows: Jumbo's
skeleton, Elephas Africanus, is 10 feet 3
inches in height; Warrens Mastadon
giganteus, at Boston, is / feet and the
Hauser Elephas lndicus, at the North
western University, at Evanston, ILL.,, is
10 feet inches high. By allowing two
inches for the gristly cushion under the
feet, and three inches for the thickness
OF the flesh on its back, and some few
inches for the wool and bristly name, the
Washin ton specimen would be fully II
feet high when alive.
Elephantine remains are always found
in groups, showing that the animals
either huddled together before perishing
in droves, or would die one ut time at
the pools or river banks, where they
would go for water. Many fragmenary
specimens have been found in the north
west and in Alaska, but the Washington
specimen shown at the world s fair is the
most perfect one yet iound and is well
worth the inspection Of any visitor at the
exposition.

"sINGLE TAX PURE RELIGION

DR.. McGlynn Will Shortly Proclaim His
Views From the Platform.
Rev. DR.. McGlynn has not swerved from his
old position on Henry Georges single tax doc
trines. In an interview with New York World
reporter yesterday he said:
II may speak with more freedom about the
church's attitude toward the economic problem
now that the statement OF my views and teach
ings has been carefully read over by Delegate
satolli and four learned theologians, and BY
them declared to contain nothing contrary to
Catholic truth Some people thought that the
single tax was contrary to the Catholic faith,
but did not, and the delegate and the four
learned doctors who read my statement did
not.
1T was on ten pages Of foolscap, and may
use that very statement or parts of il when l
come to speak in Chicago on the church's atti-
tude toward the social problem. 1t is pure re-
ligion. is the single tax. 1t is the very essence
| OF religion, because 1t teaches the fatherhood
OF God and the brotherhood of man. Christian

fatherhood Of God, for you give one man the
| advantage over his fellow, and you make q man
the lord and giver Of life. II is against Gods
will, and We pray every day; Thy will be
DONE"
As to his plans for the future DR.. McGlynn
said that he had nothing to say. He expected
| to speak at Asbury Park for the benefit Of Mr.
Young fresh air fund. Then he will probably
say something about the relation Of the church
| to economic questions. and he spoke g re-
corded above He continued:
Also am to make two addresses IN Chicago

religions. In one shall talk about the church
and In the other about economics. am always

cheers by the liberals

moved an amendment TO the effect that the
Irish members be excluded entirely from the
house Of commons. -
Mr.. Gladstone. amid derisive opposition
cheers, moved the closure. 1t was carried by
a vote Of PAL to oil.
The division of the amendment caused
e y, excitement, as 1t was reported
that the radicals, as well as the Parnellites
were likely to go with the opposition.

eminent, however, was Henry Labouchere
Sir Charles Dixie refrained from voting.
The Parnellites fulfilled expectations by sup

was Timothy Harrington, who was absent
