an ordinary sized man Of war would
stand no chance Of escape from these

great that it would be difficult to

these guns for New York. three for

Each gun costs about $4,000. On

4 Peculiar Case Of Extinction,

One of the m1st peculiar natural
history discoveries ever made was a
recent one in New Zealand. 4 far

preston Of the land where the exist
ancc Of several springs made Il boy.
his ploW uncarth ID a deposit Of peat
in which he found Il number or tight
ly packed bones Of some animal, as he
supposed. Exploration Of the peat
bed developed the fact that about 900
skeletons Of the cAti:lct mOa, Il bird
much larger than the ostrich. were
packed together, evidently having
been destroyed at one time BY some
cutaclysm. Everything pointed to
the fact that these birds had per-
ishcd simultaneously and many thco-
rics have been advanced regarding
their destruction. The most pluusi-
bic is that they were overcome bv Il
sand storm which covered them.
What makes the discovery the mos c
puZZlin9 is the fact that similar beds
OF nloa bones have been found in
other parts Of New Zealand.

SUBMARINE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

SUBMARINE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
AT Santander, Spain, yesterday evel
ing ten men were killed and thirty
were injured by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the harbor there The dyna-
mite was in one # the many cases OF
explosives which went down last No
vember with the wreck of the steamer
Cabo Machichaco. Ever since the
steamer was blown to pieces divers have
worked internationally upon the wreck,
and have raised considerable quantl-
~ of miscellaneous cargo which she
brought to Santander. Recently the
divers reported that they were getting
near the dynamite, but it was supposed
that the explosive had lost lis power
after so many weeks in the water.
Three divers went down yesterday,
when the explosion occurred. Ten men
were out in boat over the spot where
the divers were at work. Some fifty
men were at work at the docks. The
cause of the explosion of the dynamite
is not known exactly. The report
shook the Mendez Nunez street, which
skirts the quay along its whole length
The small boat just off the dock was
splintered and seven men killed. Three
divers also were killed and thirty men
along the quay injured seriously. AT
present it is impossible to get further
