with this end in view he engaged four

three sets OF tackle went to South
Beach yesterday for the purpose OF
of raising the heavy object from its
bed in the sand and placing II upon a
board platform, so that Il can be pho
tographed and examined on all sides.
/ When the party reached the mollusk
/ the tide was found to be favorable for
work and after several hours OF labor
the great mass was hauled from the
sand In which It was imbedded and
placed on platform OF boards. The
men AZ work, who are In the habit OF

carcass weighs fully eight tons. What
II weighed when alive must be imag-

COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
The Day Not Far Distant when They
VIII lie Extinct.

VIII lie Extinct.
From the Denver Republican: Noun
tain sheep appepar to he increasing
in Colorado, and, stranger still. the
rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haGnts among the high
! mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the habitations of man than ever be-
fore. In the comparatively low lands.
near the town of Jefferson, there is now
flock of fifty or more mountain sheep.
Jefferson Is on the South Park railroad,
| about eighty-one miles southwest of
Denver In Park county. 1t is an old
fashioned community. and has near it
the well-known summer resort, Jener-
son Lake. The vicinity. disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as tho
sounds OF human life and industry, is
not at all quiet one. II has none OF
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home of the almost extinct
mountain sheep. And yet for several
days past, a band of at least fifty OF
the soft-eyed, large-horned native sheep
of the Rocky Mountains has been calm
ly grazing around the town OF Jeffer-
son and close to the railroads. 1t Is
said that the sheep do not display any
| sign of fear of the jefferson people.
Many of them come in open daylight
! within easy pistol shot of the resi-
dences. They do not Eun away unless
somebody purposely tries to frighten
them. For many years past the sight
OF mountain sheep has been rarity
In Colorado, and usually but one at n
time has been seen. A hunter far off
! from civilization might descry q soli-
4 tary sheep perched on a crag overlook
Ing some wild and steep canyon, but
hardly ever within gunshot range. No
such thing as fifty sheep together has
been reported, even by the yeriest
Munchausen of hunters. When lone
sheep was seen It usually disappeared
from view at the slightest alarm.
| Considering these things, the descent
OF fifty sheep upon the town OF Jeffer-
son, as though they had formed them
| selves into an excursion party some
where among the mountains. does not
look reasonably eXplainable. The gen
eral theory is that bitter cold and deep
SHOWS in the higher attitudes drove
them downward, and that they Joined
together for mutual protection as they
travelled from peak to peak. Killing
mountain sheep is absolutely prohib-
| tied by law in Colorado. 1t is a closed
season all the year round with the ami
mails, just as it is with buffalo,

The metal shone like light, but so 1t
did when she began to clean 1t. 1t had
shone like that yesterday and the day
before, and, indeed, every day for SIX
ty years. There was smooth circle all
around the knocker where her delicate
hands had worn into the hard, black
old lady rubbed away just as she had
done every morning since the spring oil
1888, when she was brought, bride, in
to the house. She was the pride of
Greenwich Village then, and she meant
to be still.
On this particular frosty morning
Mrs. Leveen tarried longer than usual
at her task. After the lions head was
satisfactory even to her sharp eyes, she
worked on. But II was evident in the
glances she shot across Bank street
that her attenti-n was not given who'll
ly to the work of her hands. Neither
was 1t diverted to her customary in
spection of the neighbors' knockers.
Theirs glistened like hers, and, be-
sides, every time she looked up her eyes
turned TO but one door, that of the
house In front of which stood two stur-
dy horses and a truck.
Pretty soon the door opened and a
Young man In a carriers blouse came
out. He saw the old lady across the
street, though he pretended not to. He
busied himself ostentatiously about the
horses heads for n moment and then
turned back to the truck. Mrs. Le-
veen had seen him. She bent herself
earnestly TO the knocker and in few
strokes finished 1t off. Then she faced
towards the street and fixed the truck
man with her eyes till he had to look
up.
Good morning, Aunt Martha" he
said, as he doffed his cap.
She beckoned TO him to come TO her.
Good morning, Percy" she answer
ed pleasantly as he approached her,

The interview he had dreaded for
weeks was upon him now. He knew
from the first 1t was inevitable, but

A remarkable kind Of paper IL pro-
duced in Corea entirely by manual la
Dor and without the use CT any ma
chinery. Its quality excels that Of the
very best made in China or Japan. The
raw material used for this paper IL OBJ
tanned from the bark Of Broussoneta
papyrifera, which is collected in the
spring and beaten in water containing .
large admixture Of wood ashes, until re-
duced to thick pulp; this is taken in
large ladies and spread upon frames Of
bamboo, and in this way formed into
thin sheets. Another kind Of paper is
produced from Old scraps trodden into
pulp much in the same way that grape
juice is expressed in some countries-a
process Of pulping which, though slow,
has the advantage Of not breaking the
fiber so much as when machinery il
used; then after the pulp has been
made into paper, the sheets are piled
up TO height OF six feet and cut into
pieces. to be again subjected 10 the feet
stamping-at the same time the roots
and seeds Of plant called "tackpoui'
are added, the soluble parts Of which
are supposed to give tenacity and tough
ness TO the paper. - Apotheker lei.
