Mastodons In Beaver Dam3

The discovery of the remains of a mastodon near Newburgh, New York. last summer, recalls the fact=t that the best preserved skeleton of one Of these huge animals now to be found in our museums was also discovered in marsh near Newburgh. That part Of Che Hudson Valley appears to have been 3 favorite haunt for these Ameri- can elephants. Inspection of the place where the latest discovery was made emphasizes the fact that beavers were contemporaries of the mastodons, and that beayer=dams were as perilous as auicksanelB for the massive beasts who ventured to set foot in them.

She says that he is too homely for any woman to live with Goldfarb who is philosopher, admits that ne is not an Apollo, but he also insists that his wife has never been known as professional beauty. The Gold farbs have had a good deal of trouble since they were married in 1890 It took Mrs. Goldfarb but short time to discover that her husband did not come up to her standard of manly beauty, and she began to make things uncomfortable for him. Occasionally she went back to her mother. At an- other time Samuel in despair sent her to Eurape hoping that when she re- turned H would find favor in her eyes. But matters were still worse when she came back, and, according to a num- Der of affidavits. in the possession of former Judge H. w.

con.te de Dion,s Ira ..,orm..,

lhe way to make useful citizen ont
 T an ldler is to give him a real inta-. est in life. Comte de Dion. the nronot- CT of the automobile in France, where the new vehicle first attained ponnlar. ity, is, according to the Bicvcling World, striking illustration of tbis truth The comte was long the tvnieal white carnation of the Paris aristoc. raey, which means that he was Q ne'er-do-well. The merest aceidant sufficed to put him on the right track. One day he bought miniature loco motive for the little son of one of his friends, and carried the toy to the child. But though they lighted the alcohol lamp and got up steam in the tiny boiler, for some reason the thing would not work. Comte de Dion is of stubborn disposition. He persisted tried this cog and that, finally taking off his coat to work more at ease. He puzzled the whole afternoon on the engine With no success. Then he car ried 1t home and spent the night squat ting on the floor amidst an assortment of sereWdrivers, hammers and files he had bought on the way. The loeomoa tive was taken completely apart and readjusted several times. At last. to- ward daybreak. the young count had the satisfaction of seeing the toy travel merrily around the room. Having thus discovered within him a taste and an aptitude for mechanAcs, Comte de Dior did not return to his idling, but studied until he became an engineer It was st this period that he showed remark able business perspicacity in investing all his capital in the automobile indus try. At time when everybody was deriding the first clumsy machines that spurted and shied and then re- fused to budge for hours, he under stood the possibilities of the motor car and resolutely cast his lot with it's fortune. It is generally acknowledged tha. no man in France has done so mu to further the cause of the new ioc motion.
