Have stezdny Decreased in Size Since
Prehisse=so Times.
Most OF the gigantic animals Of ge-
illogical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and Of those
which have living representatives it
is dinicult to say whether they have
undergone a true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely surVivals Of smaller contempt
rary varieties. The larger animals
have a tendency to disappear first in
a partial failure of food supply. Gi-
gantIc armadilloes closely resembling
those Of the present day were for
merly abundant in South America.
The remains OF huge sloths are found
in Cuba and North America. Sharks
attaining a length Of more than 100
feet are found in comparatively recent
fossil deposits. Another fish which
represents a larger prehistoric species
Is the American bony pike, which is
one Of the few survivals OF the enor-
nous ganoids of the secondary strata.
The tiny nautilus Of the present day
had kindred 10 or IL feet long in early
times. Another small she'll FISH, the
pteropod, whose d~alicately complex
structure Is packed in an inch Of shell,
is found in fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length OF a
couple Of feet.

Organization Of Our Fighting Forces in
and Out Of Action.

Previous to the outbreak OF the
Spanish war the permanent military
establishment Of the United States was
comprised In ten regiments Of cavalry,
i've regiments Of artillery and twenty
Eve regiments Of infantry, with their
necessary adiuncts Of the stan bureaus,
altogether aggregating 2,164 officers
and $4,000 enlisted men. BY law It's en-
listed strength was limited to $4,000
men, not including some hundreds Of
general service clerks, hospital attend
ants, etc. So that, with slight nuctua-
tions in the official personnel and these
subsidiary corps, the aggregate
strength Of the army had ranged for a
number Of years around $4,000. In 1898
In the forty regiments Of the line there
were 2S,S10 enlisted men, or an aver
ege Of $40 in the cavalry regiments, $40
in the artillery regiments and 521 IN
the infantry regiments.
On April %, 1898, Congress passed
an act to provide for temporarily in
creasing the military establishments OF
the country in time Of war. Three days
later an act declaring war against
Spain was passed, reciting that war

Record Of the Boxer who WIN Fight
at Athens.
Since the days when Joe McAulime
came out OF the west to win fame In
the prize ring there never was a boxer
OF note who possessed the same gem
erous proportions claimed by Ed
Dunkhorst, who meets Joe Butler at
Athens tomorrow evening. Dunk
horst is six feet high. and weighs. in
condition, 225 pounds. He has been
nicknamed the "Mastodon," and 1t is
we'll earned. But Dunkhorst is differ
ent from most Of the big fellows in
that he is fast as a feather-weight.
Those who witnessed his terrific fight
with Peter Maher at the Arena need
no further verihcation Of that state
ment. Fast as Maher was, Dunkhorst
was equally so, and, although Maher
won, he did not get OF scot free by
any means. While a comparatively
ewcom In the ring, DunkhOrst's
dozen battles have already demon
strated the possibilities OF his huge
frame. when thoroughly seasoned. One
popularity Of Dunkhorst's is that he
seems to be Immune from the blows
soporihc. which SO many boxers sue
eumb to. Up to the present time he
has never been knocked out, and It
looks as though he never win be. AL
though he was In no condition for a
contest when he met Maher at the

again and again on his jaw the pum-
melting he received did not seem to az

turedly, and Maher, who always be-
lleved his good right hand was irwin
chile. was dumfounded. Dunkhorst
has declared that had he been in
shape he would have beaten Maher
that night, and many good judges
agree with him. When Gus Rubin
was at his best and Dunkhorst only a
novice It took the former twenty-five
rounds 10 win from the Syracuse man
at the Greater New York Athletic club.
The experience he gained there Md
Dunkhorst good. for he went right up
to Toronto and beat Charley Strong
so badly that the referee stopped the
bout IN the fourth round. Frank

at Detroit for eight rounds, and the

reduction Of the army. subsequently
the outbreak Of the Filipinos added to
the gravity Of the situation. The plan
adopted wac TO muster out the v0lun-

Their Endurance Il Remarkable-sorry
Mays to Look At.
One Of the first things that strike
the wanderer in the great expenses OF
the southern hemisphere is the
strength and endurance Of the horses,
SAYS South Africa. He notes that,
though to look at they are the sorri-
est scrags he ever set eyes on, yet they
appear to be possessed Of a power OF
getting over the ground that is little
short OF miraculous, and so astonish-
ing in it's persistence as to e auto
matte. A striking instance came UNI
der my notice only a few days after
landing in Cape Town, in 1868. ! wal
sitting one Saturday afternoon on the
stOop Of Parks hotel, which occupied
the corner Of Adderley and Strand
streets, when a d~ust-covered horseman
stopped and dismounted. His horse
was taken to the stables, aSd Ia the
course OF conversation in the bar /
learned that he was a member OF the
legislative assembly for an %up-country
district. There was no railway com
munication with the interior In those
days, and he had ridden in from his
home, at Colesberg, in less than six
days, having started the previous Mon
day. Now, Colesberg is more than 500
miles from Cape Town, and the coun-
try Is very rough going, much OF II
being heavy and other parts very
mountainous. No English-bred horse,
fed according to English methods,
could have accomplished such a ride
as this, more especially when we con-
slider the temperature Of the Cape Col
0ny. I went to look at the animal on
which the Journey had been performed
and found Il to be a little roam schim-
mel, barely fourteen hands, and ap-
parently as fresh as paint. Another
very remarkable ride that came under
my notice was performed by a Boer
who lived a few miles from Greytown,
IN Natal. His wife was taken i'll, and
a particular medicine, not to be OBJ
eained ia Greytown, was imperative,
So Ia the early hours Of the night he
started for harrisburg. hfty-dve miles
distant. through an extremely hilly
country. and was back on his farm Ia
sixteen hours. The remarkable thing
IN this instance was that the Boer
weighed over seventeen stone. In my
own experience many instances Of the
wonderful staying powers OF African
horses have occurred. To mention one

and, including the regular brlgadlers.
one ~brigadier for every 1000 enlisted
men. No additional regular army stan
officers are provided for, but there IS
provision for volunteer stan officers *
needed.
In short, what Is by mlsnomer called
the reorganization Of the army" Is
merely an act to continue for two
years longer the establishment rfised
for the Spanish war, namely, until July
/, 1901. AS before, the regular army Is
to consist Of three major generals ana
six brigadiers for the field and eleven
stan brlgadiers, at the head Of the adj
iutant generals. the inspector gen
erals, the Judge advocate generals,
the quartermaster generals, the sur
geon generals, the commissary gen.
erals. the paymaster generals and
ordnance departments. the corps Of en-
gineers and signal corps respectively.
The same number Of cavalry, artil-
lery and infantry regiments are con-
tinued. In other words, the regular
army provided for in the Cockrell-
German compromise is exactly the reg
ular army Of the Spanish war, which
will continue until July l. 1901, when
It will be superseded by the condition
described in the opening paragraph OF
