Jaw of Huge unclasslied Animal
Found in New Mexico.

Found ia New Mexico.
 Santa Fe New Mexican: The fossil remains of a strange prehistoric animal were discovered recently at Postmaster Nusbaum.s ranch, at Teseuque. AL phonso Dockweiler, who has charge Of digging ditch through ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece of petrifed bone the shape of large tongue, but with row of twelve teeth along what dug a little further and found the re- mainder of what seemed to be the jaw of an animal that was part ichthyosau- rus and part plesiosaurus, with some of the characteristics of the pterodactyl, perhaps. The jaw consisted of about twenty layers of bone iii the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with a dozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbivorous and not car nivorous. These twenty layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal MT. Dockweiler expects to find the low fr jaw and perhaps all of the remains of the strange animal. As much as he has found he will bring to this city and from here ship it to the Smithson- ian institution in Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city by J. c. Sehumanc and shown to friends, who were all puzzled by their unusual shape. It is well known that the surroundings of Santa Fe abound with submarine fossil remains, which seem to prove that in long gone-by ages the site of the city was covered by a sea. Only half mile up the ar royo and canyon that branch off Pal ace avenue, near the old brewery, pret- ty petrified seashells are to be found. At many other places there are unmis- takable signs of the erosion of the waves and footprints of gigantic pre- historic amphibians, who made their home both in the water and on the iand in the days when the highest peaks of the Rocky mountain range were only islands in vast ocean.

 An Unusual IncIde mt.

An unusual incident happened on the homeward voyage of the Castle liner Carisbrook Castle, from the Cape. The English letters not having arrived before the Lismore Castle sailed from Cape Town for home, the captain of the Garisbrook Castle, which was to sail the following day, -naturedly undertook to deliver the letters to the disappointed passengers of the Lis more Castle on the high seas. On overriding tie l4ismore Castle, the captain had the letters enclosed in a tin box and soldered up This was put into barrel, with pole at taehed flying a red flag, and having passed the Lismore Castle and got well ahead of her, the barrel was dropped overheard, the captain of the Caris- brook ct the same time hoisting u sig nal which had been pre-arranged. The Lismore Castle, coming up on her course in due time, picked up the bar rel, and so the passengers received their anxiously-waited news from home. They expressed their gratitude on their arrival in England by sending to the commander of the Carisbrook Castle a beautifully illuminated ad- dress, on which was depicted barrel floating on the high seas bearing a red flag, the barrel being supported by two pretty sea maidens.

 Four-R ooted Farmers,

In the Olympic mountains, in the state of Washington, lives small, bea- ver-like animal known locally as the farmer" It makes burrows in the banks of small strams, and fills them with the leaves and stems of water plants, which it first cures for the pur- pose by cutting them down and spread ing them out in the sun to dry. The resemblance of the dried stems to hay is the origin of the name popularly given to the industrious animal. The scientific name of this rodent is Hap- lodon.

Big Tunnels in the Alps.

At present the two greatest railway tunnels of the world are those piercing the St. Gothard and Mont Cenis. It will not now be many years before that other great mountain of the Alpine range, the simplon, will also be pierced, so that men may pass to and fro ill trains beneath it's mighty sum- init. The work is at present progress ing at the rate of five yards a day at each end. It is impossible to foretell the probable date of completion, ow- ing to the changing nature of the strata, but when the two gangs of workmen meet I'll the middle they will have completed the longest tunnel in the world, for they will have cut through thirteen miles of mountain.

How Panl Kruger eot R.,,.,on

Paul Kruger Is now one Of the most religious of men. He was brought up in pious Dutch family and was never bad boy. but it is said that thirty years ago, when Kruger was young married man, he "got religion in a most striking and characteristic way. One day he handed an open Bible to his wife and asked her to read several chapters which he had marked. While she was reading he left the house. For several days he was missing and finally party of friends went out to look for him. They came back without trace of the missing man, only reporting that they had heard some one singing far off on the mountains. A day or two later another searching party went out. This time they found Kruger in a con- dition of almost complete exhaustion. having gone entirely without food or water during his absence. He had gone up into the hills to wrestle with him. self in prayer.

AL PAYEY DROWNED.

Officer E. T. Pavey of the Topeka po-
lice force, learned of the death of his
brother AL PaVey, who was drowned
June 6. Oscar Anderson, employed at
Crosby Bros, received a copy of the
Tacoma News which contained the no
1ice OF the death and handed it to Mr.

Al Pavey spent his boyhood in Topeka

was for a time superintendent of the
water service for the Santa Fe at La

enthusiastic member. Following is the

The gang he was working with were
in the act of lifting the end of a car

hand was caught between the air jack
and the car and was badly bruised. He
was taken to the hospital where the
an amputation would not be necessary
although two of the fingers were very
badly hurt. He will not be able to re-

New York, July 13.-It is not unnat
ural that the stock market yesterday
should show some reaction from the pro-
nounced advances which had been made
this week, but as matter of fact a gen.
orally higher level was the result of the
narrow and professional dealings. 1t was
a market in which, in the early hours
demonstrations were made which were
eHect1Te in causing covering of shorts and
the subsequent recession in prices repre-
scented little more than the profit taking
which is natural on the part of buyers
who purchased stocks considerably lower.
1t is apparent by the general dullness
which prevails that the dealings at the
stock exchange do not originate very far
from the immediate Wall street district
Some of the movement in the speculation
appears to be logical, but it is not GER
tain that sentiment may not in half a day
destroy this apparent relation between
condition and prices. 1t was no surprise
however that the shares of the spring
wheat carrying roads generally reached a
lower level because even the recent re-
ports of improved crop conditions do not
venture to predict much beyond half of
the usual output.
