Tho Tallest of All Animals.

There are few groups of living
large mammals whose existing members
appear never to have been surpassed in
size by their fossil relatives. Foremost
among these are the whales, which now
appear to include the largest members
of the order which have ever existed.
The so called white, or square mouthed,
rhinoceros of South Africa seems also
to be fully equal in size to any of its
extinct ancestors, and the same is GER
tainly true Of the giraffe, which may
even exceed all its predecessors in this
respect. Whether the fossil giraifes were
or were not the equals in height of the
largest individuals of the living species,
there is no question but that the latter
is by far the tallest of all living NAM
mails, and that it was only rivaled i'll
this respect among the extinct forms by
its aforesaid ancestors. Moreover, if
we exclude creatures like some Of the
gigantic dinosaurian reptiles Of the Sec
ondary epoch, which, so to speak, gained
an unfair advantage as regards height
by sitting OH their hind legs in kan
garoolike manner, and limit our COM
parison to such as walk on all four feet
in the good old fashioned way, we shall
find that giraffes are not only the tallest

AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
St. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the oldest civilized CON-
lnunity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city OF San Au-
gnstin, Fla, we're first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave it a
world wide fame.
TIE WORLDS ONLY sANITARIUM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U.
3. weather bureau, says; "Santa Fe is in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,015 feet, and latitude, about the seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar ad-
vantage as sanitarium. The elevation
tempcrs the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Memphis,
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
ern situation reduces the rigors of winter,
As an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great
physician expressed it. The rare, ozon.
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs
Symington and Harroun, who have prac-
ticel in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
'ases among the native people of con-
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. 8. weather observation Office
has been stationed here for twenty years,
and the following statistical data tells
better than words how even and mild is
the climate of Santa Fe. Taking the

lowing tables show most equable and

Leather Like Velvet.

The manufacture of leather is reach
ing what must be almost the highest
perfection of the art. A new process
has recently been patented in France for
the production of leather which both
to the touch and eye has striking re-
semblance to velvet. Leathers Of this
description hitherto manufactured have
been obtained by treatment Of the flesh
side of the hide or skin. The flesh side
of the skin being always coarse, the
patentees claim now to secure better
results by treating the hair side. They
scratch or rub the hair side with rub
Der of strong erosive qualities, or with
emery or glass, when working small
surfaces, and uses grindstone for heav-
Ter work. In this manner a downy nap
is brought out which they throw and
lay in different directions, thereby
bringing out varied designs Of changing
hue and appearance. The velvety sur
face produced is said to b. similar to the
down of a peach skin. The fiber is very
fine, soft to the touch and has all the
appearance of silk velvet shorn very
close. Shoe and Leather Gazette.
