Az an illustration OF the infinite mum
Der OF the different kinds OF flowers to be
| encountered in q short walk in the fields
and on the hillsides Of the Black Hills
country, says the Spearish Times, it
might be well to mention the experience
OF Frank Bryant, who among his ac-
complishments prides himself on his
botanical knowledge. On a recent trip
from Carbonate Frank left the beaten
road and cut across the country from
the head OF Blacktail to City creek. On
the divide his attention was attracted
to the numerous blooms and blossoms
which in a glory of color covered the
ground, as with q mantle OF beauty and
perfume, the elevated park he was ira
versing. Harebells and lilies and kim
dred fragrant blossoms nodded their lit
tie heads in courteous salutatlon to
every passing breeze, and as every step
he took revealed o further wealth OF
color and fragrance, he resolved to make
an attempt to classify the different
variety OF flowers in that wild garden.
He plucked u large bouquet, not two OF
the flowers in it being alike, and took it
with him to the city. Thirty-fve differ
ent kinds OF blooms were in the bouquet,
and Frank says were he not afraid dark
ness would have caught him upon the
divide he could have added at least
tw enty more

From Prehistoric Ages.

A special telegram to the Pioneer Press
says that Prof J. B. Hatcher and his
party OF students from Princeton col
lege, who have just completed a tour
through the band lands OF this state in
search OF fossils and petritications, have
met with very good success. The party
has been in the bad lands between the
Cheyenne and White rivers since March
l. Since completing their task in the
bad lands the students have started on
an overland trip to Yellowstone Park.
The collection OF fossils gathered by Prof.
Hatcher has been shipped from Hermosa
to Princeton. 1t weighs $500 pounds
and consists OF rare specimens OF extinct
animals. The choicest and most valu,
able specimen is the EIotherium, or ex.
tinct pig. The specimen was found pro.
trudiug from a bank OF one OF the deep
hollows in the bad lands. This is the
only skeleton ever found of this character
in that district. aud was perfect, no
bones being missing. The carcass is
larger than the living rhinoceros. An.
other snecimen was the Titauotherium,
or extinct rhinoceros. which was twice
as large as the modern rhinoceros. The
professor also found several specimens OF
the rEinoceros family, and the Metamy-
Dodor, a relative OF the rhinoceros. A
fine specimen OF the Poehrothreium. a
species OF the camel, is among the collec-
ton. The animal was very much
smaller than the modern camel. Then
there are skeletons OF numerous small
animals. He found a few fish skeletons,
the only ones ever found in those beds.
Last years expedition from Princeton
succeed ed in obtaining the only croco-
die ever found in the bad lands. Ga the
trip this year n good specimen of the
Amphisbaenoid lizard was unearthed.
the only specimen OF this reptile, so far
as known, ever found in the world.
This has no limbs at all and was a very
low order OF lizard. Prof. Hatcher he
lieves that PRINCETON college has the
most representative collection OF fossils
in Am erica.
