Secretary of State Palmer of New York,
ex-commander-in-chie of the Grand Army
of the Republic, said to the Commercial
Advertiser reporter recently. THE more

the presidency in 1896. think he will have
the delegation from this state"
Corporal Tanner agreed with the secre-
tary in regard to Gov. Morton, and said:

they concede something to silver. The west
and part of the northwest are for silver.

THROUGH AGES
The Head of a Prehistoric
Monster Embedded in
Bitumen.
IN THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH.
"A Discovery in Asphalt Mines of
Considerable Value to
Science.

A remarkable discovery was made about
four weeks ago in the asphaltum mines in
Kern County. when miners working 40
feet below the surface excayated the skull
of q prehistoric monster.
The bones were imbedded in the as
phaltum deposit, and in close proximity
were pieces of wood in fair state of
preservation. though hardened and black
ened like Irish bogwood of forests belong
ing to a far-away geological period. Foss lis
in the bowels of the earth are nothing I'M
common, but this jawbone, or skull, is
more than a fossil, which fact gives it a
peculiar significance in the study of geology
and natural history. There are several
teeth in the jawbpne that still have coat
ing of enamel, which proves that icons Of
ages ago beasts moving amid the desola-
ton of earth had teeth differing none
either in texture or form from animals of
the present age. The enamel is well pre-
served in color and substance, though in
side it the dentine is changed to asphaltum.
The skull is not perfect, as parts of it
had either turned into the black substance
itself or rotted away, although there re-

hillsides; creeks ard little lakes Of sui
phurous water emitting " gas that ignites
and blazes, great masses Of solid bitumen
protruding from the ground like lava long
grown cold; all these together and a soil
on which strange, stunted brushwood
grows form its characteristic landscape.
There are large beds of infusorial earth
300 to 400 feet thick and extremely light.
The surface is bleached intensely white by
the sun burning out the little asphalt oil on
top. Underneath is a brown, impalpable
dust like volcano ashes-a mighty ash heap,
and yet composed of shells of the infusoria,
visible only under a powerful microscope.
From the presence of this dustit may
be taken that asphalt is infusorial also, be-
ing formed out of animal matter of in
fusoria, while the mineral matter, or white
shell dust, remained above it.
There are beds of brown sand, almost a
sandstone, parallel to the direction of as
phaIt deposits, and seemingly underlying
them in the strata. This brown sand
coheres through the agency of asphaltum
material in it, and has stood like dixie
against the erosion of geological periods.
One more very interesting feature of the
district is the mineral tar, as it is COM
monty called or liquid asphaltum. 1t ex-
udes in many places and trickles downhill
until a hollow is reached and black pools
are formed. In those pools Lizards, bee
ties, rabbits, birds, and even deer and a
bear have been found, all embalmed by
the LIQUID that killed them.

A Bicycle Highway.

Benton Harbor will be the first city in
the United States to build along one of its
public streets a track for the exclusive use
of BICYCLES, says dispatch in the Detroit
Free Press. Plans are now complete for
the way along Territorial street. and to-
morrow morning graders will be set to
work to carry out the design. 1t is pro-
posed to construct the track feet wide
along the side of the adjoining street, and
on grade even with the sidewalk, leaving
the shade trees to mark the line between
the path for pedestrians and that for the
wheel riders. The gutter will be recon
structed along the side of the bicycle track,
and the outer edge of the latter will be de-
fined and protected by posts placed at in
tervals, which can be utilized as hitching
posts. The path will be made of earth
with hard clay surface. About one mile of
the track will be built now as an expert
ment. If it proves satisfactory, tracks on
the principal streets along the town will
be made.

of carpenter, and in the back room was
another bench or tabls covered with tools
in great variety At the bench was a young
man employed in planning what appeared to
be piece of oak with a jack plane whose
iron was concave, for the wood was grooved
in large grooves by the operation of the
tool. He was getting rid of the wood upon
which a celebrated painting was placed
many years ago, and when he succeeded in
working it down to the white backing of
the painting it was to be mounted upon
canvas and nobody but connoisseur on
close scrutiny would know the difference.
This wood was decayed in several places.
In the front room other work was being
carried on and still other branches of the

people on the third floor.
