at which all mastodon remains In this
country have been discovered. Iron
rods were thrust down through the
muck. thereby locating the bones. Inc
first days search was very successful
revealing leg bones, ribs and verteorae.
The first discovery was a thigh meas
uring thirty-one inches across. Inc
largest leg bone was thirty-eight inches
long and twenty-five inches IN clrcum-
ference. The longest of the ribs, OF
which the complete skeleton has twen-
ty, is forty-five inches long. The YER
tebrae are the size OF human heao.
The teeth are as large as man s
hand and have three rows of conlcal
projections, two in a row. me TACT
completely Identifies the mastodon, as
all other mastodons Of the period had
fiat teeth. Indeed, the animal received
its name from this popularity, masto-
don. meaning nipple-toothed. The mass
todon had more than eight perfect
teeth at no one time, although during
its life it had twenty-four. The new
ones grew forward, forcing the others
in front OF them, until. worn out and
useless. the old teeth disappeared. In
spite of the great length Of time elaps-
ing since its death, the enamel on
some OF the teeth is white and shining.
The bones are fairly we'll preserved,
but crumble somewhat after exposure
to the air. A special search was
made for the tusks the second day, but
It was unsuccessful. However, sockets
ten inches in circumference. reaching
two feet into the skull, evidence tusks
eleven feet long.
This mastodon, according to the
usual reckoning. has been dead 7,ooo
years. It's genus lived and died be-
fore the birth of man. It belonged to
the post tertiary period Of cenozoic
time. a period during which the cli-
mate OF Michigan was semi-tropical.
It was covered with reddish wool, and
long black hair, and lived on spruce
and FIR trees. In life it was eleven feet
high and twenty-five feet long from
the tips OF its tusks to the base Of its
tail. Nor was it the only giant OF its
time. The horse and elephant Of today
are pigmles in comparison with their
ancient prototypes.
Enough leg bones were found exact
~ alike In all except size to make 1t
certain that several mastodons must
have persisted in the, same place.

will make digging much easier. Profs.
Knapp and Montgomery think that
only a small beginning has been made
of exhuming a large mastodon ceme-
terry. Only five complete skeletons
have been found in the United States,
and it is expected that the sixth Will
soon be mounted in the Olivet college

The skeleton of mastodon, nearly
complete, has been discovered near OIL
vet, Mich, by college professors.
Twelve years ago H. G. Bumpus, the
first professor Of biology, made inter-
esting discoveries in a low, swampy
place. and, according to arrangements
made by him, word was at once taken
to the college, when. short time ago,
additional evidences Of mastodon re-
mains appeared. Prof. G. A. Knapp

A Joke ON WASHINGTON.

His Wish to Steal Away Cnnoticed was
Frustrated.
Washington was not churlish, but he
had that preference for being unob-
served that develops at times into a
longing in a man whose life is spent
in public, says Harper's Magazine. He
quilted the Macomb house on the
morning of Aug. 30, 1890. The servants
were instructed to steal away at dawn,
to have the carriages and luggage over
the ferry at Paulus Hook by sunrise.
BY candlelight, Mrs. Washington, the
children and the secretaries assembled
in the morning room. The president
entered, pleased with his strategem.
He was enjoying in prospect his con-
cealed departure. Immediately under
the window suddenly struck up on the
still morning air the blaring. vigorous
notes OF an artillery band. From the
