4 relic of the Eocene Period.

Prof. Cope Of Philadelphia has crea-
ture which all naturalists are unanimous
in pronouncing the first representative
Of the hoofed animal species. The ami
NAL is not alive; neither is it entire 50
far as flesh and blood are concerned, but
TO the paleontologist, who cares only for
the fossiled bones, the specimen is per
feet 1t is not larger than yearling
calf and not nearly so tall, and was
found in the Wind river country in
Wyoming Prof. Cope named it Phena-
cOdus primaevus when it was first dis
covered, giving it as his opinion that il
was akin to a specimen which was found
several years ago in France (the paleO-
therium), and which gave Cuvier and the
other naturalists so much trouble 10
classify.
At the time of the discovery of the
French specimen the savants Of Europe
decided that it was the ancestor Of
'hoofed critters" but the Wind river
fossil, which is easily distinguished as
being a type of the same. is believed TO
be much more ancient. COpe's curiosity
was found in rocks belonging TO the
eOcene period, and the time when it
graZed on the western prairies has been
placed as far back as 100000 years.
Every bone is perfect and in place and
the specimen could not be purchased for
$10000.-St. Louis Republic

HOW Fast Does Thought Travel.

Prof. Donders of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard
to the rapidity Of thought. BY means
of two instruments, which he calls the
''neomatathograph and the 'noerna-
tachometer." he obtained some impor-
tant results. His experiments show that
it takes the brain .O67 of a second to
elaborate a single idea. Writing in re-
gard to this, Prof. Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
Viduals. l believe. however, that my
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able TO determine the mental cal
iber of our friends without our friends
knowing that we are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: For
the eye to receive an impression re-
quires .077 of a second and for the ear
to appreciate a sound .049 of a second
is necessary. These curious experiments
have established one fact at least
viz. that he eye acts with nearly
double the rapidity Of the ear.'-PhiIa-
delphia Press.

LoArED ROUND WITH DYNAMITE.
Conduct of French
QuRrryman.

When d man calmly carries about with
him six cartridges Of dynamite and ten
decorators, it IS not surprising that ne
should cause a scare in a hospital and
be regarded as a pre-eminently danger
Gus member of society by sick nurses
and male attendants.
Prosper MillOt, quarryman. aged fifty
four, went TO the Pitie hospital yester-
day in order TO see his son, who is
patient in that institution. On enter
ing the lodge he had TO submit TO the
operation of searching. which was per-
formed by the gate porter in the pres
ence Of soldier Of the republican guard
and Of several male and female ward
assistants. The porter soon observed
that Prosper was carrying something
bulky in his dOuble-thonged waistbelt,
and naturally insisted upon knowing and
seeing what it was. "Ohi it's only dyna-
mite" coolly remarked the professional
manipulation Of explosives TO the horror
and dismay of his auditors. all Of whom.
with the exception Of the porter and the
soldiers, took 10 their heels.
After the cartridges had been put in a
place Of safety. Millot was taken off TO
the nearest police station, and there he
made a statement to the cOmmissary
about his exceedingly perilous burden.
He said that he had received the dyna-
mite from his employer for the purpose
OF blowing up rocks, and that he had no
time TO carry il home before going TO
the hospital in oder TO see his son. Not
withstanding this explanation, the COM
mssary ordered the dynamite to be de-
posted in the laboratory, and the quar-
ryman, much to his amazement, was
summoned for carrying about explosives
to the detrinent of the public security.

a very short acquaintance the couDle
will become engaged. and this is quick

experience all this seems very absurd
and is the acme OF mans and woman's
fOoliShneSS. One hears men SO often
say. What a charming girl my wife
was when I first met her; but. alas. how
changed she IS noW"' And what is the
reason of this metamorphosis? Simply
that the glamour Of infatuation has
worn off, and the natural attributes of
the life are laid bare. This is generally
more apparent in the wOman's case, for
the mans outside calling tends to hide

am sorry to say that in most cases
the wife's path is one of retrogression,
while the husband steadily wends his
footsteps forward to progress. The wom-
an is not TO blame for this, for man has
made the condition for her, and Oft
times he steadily enfOrces it until the
spirit that would otherwise soar is at
length Subdued and made willing sub
Ject. It Is possible that If the young
couple had taken time to study each
others character this sad conclusion
might not have been reached. Ii is not
denied that sensible people may form a
mutual liking at first sight, but that is
something very different from love.
The women of America, as a rule. are

A CLEAR NIGHT AND CALM SEA


A CLEAR NIGHT AND CALM SEA.
The steamer was bound from San
Pedro to san Francisco, in command OF
Captain II. D. Leland. The night was
clesr and the sea smooth. The vessel
was in charge OF the third mate, Roger
Rifkodel. About $40 o'clock she struck
on the rocks about three miles from
shore. The first shock was followed by a
second and a third even more severe,
and then it was found that the vessel
was doomed. Captain Leland rushed
out of his cabin eXclaiming at the top
OF mis- voice: 'AIy God, my God! We
are lostw Quickly recovering his COM
posure the Captain proceeded to save all
that could be saved from the vessel that
had been entrusted to his command and
the liiebOats were lowered. More could
undoubtedly have been accomplished
had not the crew been panic stricken.
But after a time the work OF the Captain
was inaugurated and the first boatload
OF women and children was sent, in
charge OF Captain Maginnis OF the
wrecker Whitelaw, to effect a landing
in the most available spot along the
rugged shore OF that most rugged
country.
After many fruitless attempts to land
the boat finally was unloaded about two
miles south OF the lighthouse.
Another boat in charge of the second
mate managed to effect a landing and
put twelve women and children on
shore.
Two other boats put to sea to inter
cept the steamer Eureka bound south
and due at that point at about the time
Of the wreck. One of these boats, COM
manded by Steward Hume, stopped the
steamer early in the night. The other
in charge of Chief Engineer Wallace,
was not picked up until morning.
A life raft was also hoated and filled
with passengers. After an exciting
voyage the raft was picked up by the
Eureka.
Captain Leland and a dozen or more
of the officers, members of the crew and
passengers could not find places in the
boats or on the raft. They clambered
into the rigging and all but Mr., Sheri-
dan were taken off by the boats which
returned from Point Sur. Mr.. Sheridan,
who was an old man, could not stand
the strain and sank from sight, and two
others died from the effects of the cold
and butfeting before they reached the
land
Captain Leland and Second Officer e.
Ward are reported as dangerously ill at
Point Sur from the nervous strain and
dreadful experience of their stay in the
rigging.
Nolan, fireman OF the steamer, lost
his head, jumped from the Wallace
boat and attempted to swim ashore. He
was drowned in the breakers.
