stone implements and Other Evtden-
ces of n Prehistoric Settlement.
An account of an exploring expedi-
ton sent out to locate surveys and de-
fine the prehistoric mounds of the Mis-
sissippi river valley in South Dakota
is given in the st. Paul Dispatch. The
existence of mounds has been known
to the expedition for a long time. The
party located two distinct fields of pre-
historic mounds and one well-preseryed
fertilization within a distance of five
miles in length and three-quarters of
a mile wide. Both groups of mounds
are of considerable magnitude. The
larger group was located opposite the
mouth of Grand river and contains
100000 square feet of territory, with
"a counted and surveyed mounds upon
the field, an elevation of ITS feet above
the Missouri river. One of the largest
mounds was opened by the party and
immense quantities of prehistoric
specimens secured and brought to the
city.
The second field of mounds within
this area was four miles distant and to
some extent dbliterated by the pillow.
But there were upward of so mounds
in this field and prehistoric arrows,
pottery and stone implements were
found in large numbers. Close to this
second field, which is in Walworth couD-
ty, S. D., the party found trenches con-
tanning human skeletons, and several
skulls were brought back. The skulls
are harder, heavier and thicker even
than those of a negro and much unlike
those of the Indian of the Columbian
age.
A mile and quarter from this place
the party located wellpreserved forti-
fication of earth, showing the outer
and inner breastworks, the bitches and
inner works. The entrances to the
Notifications are still marked. Here
too, evidence of prehistoric character
was abundant and a number of stone
implements were secured. The field

MAGAZINE RIFLES.
weapons That Are serviceable After
Firing 1900 Rounds.

Some curious effects of the tests of
the new magazine rifles in actual SER
vice are noted in Engineering. Cordite
was accused of causing rapid wear OF
the rifiing, and this charge must have
had some foundation, as the Metford
rifiing has been abandoned in the
weapons now issued, and has been re-
placed by the system devised by Rigby,
which is said to wear well and give
more accurate shooting than the Mann
hcher, Mauser or Lebel systems.
Certainly the wear cannot now be
very serious matter, if the reports
can be relied on that accurate shoot
ing has been made even after firing
some thousands of rounds and the
weapon is still serviceable after 5000
or 1900 rounds have been fired.
In the Toche punitive expedition the
new Dumbum bullet will be employed,

fcient in stopping power. In the Chit.

shot, and nevertheless he recovered

and Branches Contain Band stand.
Jay, Me-, claims one of the biggest
trees in Maine. 1t stands on the banks
of the Androscoggin, on the lawn of the
late Dudley Bean. The circumference
four feet from the ground is % feet,
diameter seven feet. About six feet
from the ground there are seven
branches radiating from its trunk,
which are from IS to "a inches in diam
eter. The branches spread over a space
of ground 300 feet in circumference, or
80 feet in diameter. Where the branches
leave the trunk of the tree about seven
feet from the ground there has been
erected band stand, which seats 25
persons. A cooler place on hot days
cannot be found. A Boston gentleman
was riding by recently and the tree at
tracted his attention. He examined and
measured it and was astonished at its
dimensions. He went away with the
remark that if the tree was on his lawn
$4,000 wouldn't buy it. 1t was set out
AZ years ago by Lafayette Bean on the
day of his departure for California,
whence he never returned.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bltters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing of impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or
