Remarkable Specimen Found in a Mary
land iron Mine Recently.
Charles E. Coffin, of Muirkirk, Md,
has lately placed at the disposal of the
Woman's College Museum for study
and description, in connection with
other collections from the same region,
a remarkable saurian tooth, recently
exhumed from his iron mines in Prince
George county. It measures three
inches in length, and the herbivorous
dinosaur to which it belonged was not
less than twenty-five feet in length.
The dentine of the tooth, with its beau
tifuI polish and characteristic trans
verse markings, is almost perfectly
preserved, and the delicate serrations
of it's edges are as sharply defined as
when the reptile was imbedded in the
Ignite clays of the Potomac forma-
tions. The mine from which the tooth
was excavated is the same as that from
which Professor o. c. Marsh, of Yale,
several years ago obtained a considera-
BILE collection. These remains were so
highly priced by this distinguished in
vestigator that several men and an en-
gineer were employed for a number Of
weeks in making excavations for the
same, says Baltimore American. Though
the Maryland dinosaurs were huge ami
mails in comparison with reptiles now
living, they are but dwarfs beside some
of the gigantic species which inhabited
the western North America in jurassic
time. During a recent visit to the
Woman's college, Professor Marsh re-
marked that one of the fossil species
he discovered in the west could stand
on the lawn in front of Goucher hall
and eat with comfort from the roof

VIII be the Condition of Hawaii

If the Plan of Col. z. S. Spald-
ing Succeeds.
HE HAS A FRANCHISE
And Will Ask the United States
to Help.
San Francisco Must be the
Initial Point.
He HAS A FRANCHISE

SAN Francisco, Aug. 22.-Col. 2. s.
SpaldinR, who was recently voted an an
nual subsidy of $4,000 by the Hawaiian
government if he would lay a cable from
Honolulu to San Francisco, is anxious to
secure the cooperation of the United
States in the undertaking. To that end
arrangements have been made to hold
special meeting of the chamber of COM
MERGE today to consider the best plan of
laying the matter before the govern
ment.
Vice Presideat Craig of the chamber
of commerce has received private adj
vices from the islands giving further
particulars of the conditions under
which the Hawaiian government gave
Spalding franchise to lay a cable TO
this country. Spaiding is granted an ex-
elusive franchise for twenty years, ''to
construct a land cable upon the shores of
the Hawaiian group and a submarine
electric telegraph cable, or cables TO or
from any point or points on the North
American continent, or any island or
is ands contiguous thereto"
The first able must, however, have its
terminus in San Francisco, and it IS for
the maintenance of this that the subsidy
will De paid by the Hawaiian govern
ment for twenty ears.
The agreeme hedged with further
conditions, All G hem one that the
United States ST.. join in the undertake
ing by the grant of substantial assist
ance to the contractor" If the assist
ance be not granted. or if the con-
tractor fails to comply with the
conditions of the agreement. then
the Hawaiian government will have
the right of cancelhng the contract sixty
days after service on the banking house
of Bishop & Co., at Honolulu, of d notice
of its intention to do so.
After the cable has been laid penal
ties will be fixed for interruption of the
service, except by the government, for
longer period than ninety days, and
should the interruption last one year,
then the entire contract may be can
celled
A free right of way across ali govern
ment lands and exemption from duty on
all materials and from taxes and port
charges is granted to the contractor for
twenty years as well asethe privilege of
condemning and appropriating such pro-
perty. or rights Of way as may be neces-
sary for the operation of the cable.
If the government should desire to as
sumo control and ownership of the inter
island lines at the end of one year after
the completion of the system, it
reserves the right to do so on
payment of the cash cost of the land,
| stations, lines and equipments free of all
| incum brances and liens for bonds, or IN
| terest on bonds.
The contractor is required to give
bonds to the amount of $25, 900 for faith
| full fulfillment of his contract.
What BIZ. Spalding expects the United
States government to do will be outlined
by him today at the meeting of the trus-
tees of the chamber Of commerce.

The statue of Burns Highland Mary
is to be erected at Dunoon More than
100 years ago Burns f1irted with Mary
Campbell, to whom he was faithless,
for he was already married to Jean Ar
mour. However, he wrote beautiful
verses about his Highland Mary, hence
the statue. 1t is one of the paradoxes
of human nature that this monument
celebrates not the woman, who would
have remained obscure had she never
met Burns. but the poet who amused
himself with a Irritation, and with
writing verses about it.

suNsrRUCK TREES.
They at Once Part With Their Vitality
and Die.

They at Once Part With Their Vitality
and Die.
During the late extraordinary warm
spell the writer of this paragraph was
called upon to see a large sugar maple
tree that was supposed to have been
destroyed by leak of the city gas main
at the root, but an examination showed
that the tree died, literally, from sun
stroke. It is strange that close OBJ
servers of trees are unable to see when
anything is out of the common run of
things, and consequently note that
something is going wrong. This sugar
maple had been planted on the street
probably quarter of a century ago,
and was about four feet in circum-
ference, but the trunk was almost tri-
angular, and yet this popularity
seemed to attract no attention. The
tree was simply triangular because on
three sides CT the tree the bark and
wood had evidently been destroyed
years ago, while the outer bark still
continued to cover up the injury, and
the only live wood was on the angles Of
the trunk. Only about one-third of the
trunk was practically alive. When the
exceedingly warm spell came it was i'm
possible for these limited ducts to sup
ply the moisture required for such a
large surface of foliage, and the tree,
therefore, literally died from inability
to furnish the moisture required for
Transportation. 1t may always be taken
for granted that when the trunk of a
tree, naturally cylindrical, takes an
angular form there is something wrong
beneath the bark, and an examination
should at once be made. The fatter
portions will usually be found dead. In
this case the bark should be wholly
cut away from the dead portion and
the denuded part painted. in order to
check rotting away. In time the
healthy wood may grow over the wound
or lifeless part, and the life of the tree
be eventually saved.

CANDY COOKED IN PAPER.
A Novel and Dainty Method introduced
at Boarding School.

A Novel and Dainty Method introduced
at Boarding school.
The girls of one of our eastern col
leges have a novel method of candy
making, which deserves to be known
outside their magic circle-especial
as the results are particularly delicious.
They take a sheet of heavy, glazed
writing paper and turn up the four
edges to a depth of about three-fourths
of an inch. Into this box they pour a
cupful of white sugar and very little
water, and set it on top of the stove
One would think that the paper would
burn, but it does not. The sugar boils
up charmingly and looks tempting
enough in its dainty receptacle. When
it is nearly done, a drop or two of fla
voring is added, or just before taking
from the fire some nut meats are
strewn over it's surface. It is then
taken off the stove and set to float in
its paper box in a bowl or basin of cold
water. When cold it should be brittle
and then the paper can be peeled off
and a dainty square of toothsome
candy is the reward. 1t is great fun to
make and will surprise your friends if
they chance to see it boiling in its paper
box,
