tions of the foot bones. No traces Of the limbs
have been found thus far. although extensive
excavations have been made Fortunately Mr..
Schacfer. the owner. has removed the bones with
care and treated them Skilfully. Many very in
teresting observations could be made by care
ful study and exploration of this locality. Dur
ing a visit 10y the present writer the following
observations were made, partly with the aid OF
Mr. Schaefer: The deposition is in three levels
the two upper being separated by smooth
clearly defined surface and 10y slight differences
in the character of the soil. which is largely
dark and thoroughly decompoSed vegetable
matter. interringled with few stones and
numerous remains of trees Of various sizes. EN-
animation of the latter gives abundant evidence
Of the existence of beaver in this hollow IN the
period of the mastOdOn, and we can easily mag
inc that the different soil levels were due 10 the
building Of successive beaver dams. When the
dams were first completed the backhow of the
water caused temporarily an interruption OF the
deposition Of vegetation, and may account for
the differences of level above alluded 10. The
locality has been visited by large number of
people. including several well known paleontol-
OgiStS.

DIScoNrENr N THE CouEDIE FRANCHISE.
Paris correspondence of The Pail Mall Gazette

Paris correspondence Of The Pail Mall Gazette.
Discomfort is said to be rife at the Coincide
Franchise just at present. The fact is the his
tcric theatre is making less money than those
who belong TO it would like. for art has TO be
adequately rewarded in the profession for its
adopts to be satisfied. The principal artists at
two or three of the boulevard theatres are far
better off financially than the comedians" Of
the Rue de RiChclieu. who yet. Of course. are in
theory at the head Of their profession. This
state Of things causes much heartburning. There
are those who lay the blame for il on NJ. Jules
Claretie, the manager OF the Coincide. This ac-
cusatiOn is probably unjust The Theatre
Francois is still carried On-and legally has to
be carried on-On the lines laid down in the
famous Moscow decree promulgated by Ma
poleon |. Its statutes are necessarily somewhat
old fashioned by this time. NJ. Claretie is ham
pered by regulations out OF touch with modern
requirements, and prosperity may not return to
his theatre until the antiquated legislation by
which II suffers has been revised. But whatever
the remedy, ii is certain that something has
got TO be done If the Coincide FRANCHISE is 70
hold its own as the foremost theatre OF France"
NJ. lie Bargy is not indispensable, in all proba-
bility to the wellbeing Of the house but II is
feared that others Of his comrades may follow
his example, and that in this way the most
lllustrous Of theatrical companies may be
broken up, an event that would be sincerely ,'e-
plored by all lovers Of the drama.
