an electoral campaign. They are
tho principles upon which the
Republic itself IL founded. The

cratic President. One Of the

was the second. As long as the

nine feet five inches long and eight inches broad. Pope and Marsh had made the most important previous dis coveries of dinosaur remains, and Pro- lessor Marshs skeleton is that of an animal estimated to have been sixty five feet long and eighteen feet high.
 The scientific name of the dinosaur is Brontosqurus excelsis. The remains Of the animal are found in the Trlassio, Jurassio and chalk strata. It had a body resembling huge lizard, but 1t was raised from the ground by legs somewhat like those of the kangaroo. The forelegs were much shorter than the hind legs and less powerful. The body proper was about one-third of the total length of the animal and was sWelled to a huge bulk. Appended to this trunk was a lizard-lil1e tail equal ling the body in length. This tail was thick and muscular and, like that of the kangaroo, probably was used to support the body when 1t was raised upon the long, powerful hind legs.
 The head of the animal was ludi- crously small in proportion to the re- mainder of the body, and, according to
 
 was not formidable in appearance. It was at the end of a snake-like neck as long as the tail. The teeth were unfit ted for offensive or defensive warfare, but were adapted to grinding the tropi- cal growths which covered the earth, on which the dinosaur fed,
 When this strange animal lived the eastern portion of the North American continent had begun to show the for nation of the Appalachian ranges but the Rocky Mountains had not yet made their appearance. The region now oc- cupied by lofty peaks was then vast chain of fresh water lagoons and marshes supporting tropical growth similar to that of the coal age.
 When death overlook these creatures marshes and lakes and their carcasses were covered by soil deposits which hardened into rock, while the imbedded bones were petrified. During the ages which followed, the convulsions which cracked and lifted the surface of the earth pushed the Rocky Mountains up out of the lakes and marshes and the dinosaurs bones became a part of the mountain ranges Then time and the clements combined to wear away the edges of the strata and brought to light the bones of these strange crea- lures to be discovered by modern sci entific searchers.-Chicago Tribune.

SANDSTONE SUPERSEDED.

IL is we'll known that the original
Capitol building. the Presidents house.
the City Hall. the original Patent Of
fee and the old Treasury building are
built of free or sandstone. much Of
which came from the neighborhood of
Aqua Creek. Va. Comparatively few
are aware, however. that the era of
more durable material i'm the construc-
tion of the public buildings commenced
about sixty years ago.
For this change is the Nation. in
large measure indebted to Zadock Pratt
of New York. who served several terms
in the House OF Representatives subse-
quent TO 1886. He was chairman OF the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, and during his service the
erection of the Treasury building in
place of that destroyed by fire was I'm
progress the material being brick and
sandstone. says the Washington Star.
The Postoffice Department building
had been burned in 1885. and the erec-
ton OF new building was projected,
an appropriation being made therefor
in 1889. The question as to the substi-
tuition of marble or granite i'm lieu of
sandstone. which had before been used
was considered by the committee and a
TcpoTb Nds uiauc tHdt all puDuc Dullu-
ings hereafter to be erected shall be
constructed OF the hardest and most
durable materials. either marble or
granite
Though this report was not adopt
ed. the appropriation bill for the new
general postoffice building carried
proviso that "the exterior walls shall
be such as the president OF the United
States shall direct" Mr.. Van Buren, de-
cided on marble. and the sandstone age
in public buildings was ended.
This sandstone. II was claimed. alb
serbs over seventy three pounds OF
water i'm fifteen cubic feet Ga toni. and
marble lor granite has little or no alb
sorbent qualities. A building erected of
sandstone will never be thoroughly
dry, and requires a coat OF paint TO Sc
cure its utility for any length OF time,
and IL will only lessen not prevent. alb
sorption, and the cost Of painting is
considerable.
The old part of the treasury and pat
ent Office BUILDINGS were the last sand
stone structures TO be erected, and
marble or granite has been, as stated.
the material of our public buildings for
about sixty years.

CHEAP FIpES DANGEROUS.

Several hundred cases of epithelioma
OF the lip recently treated at the vara-
Gus hospitals in the city are credited
entirely to the pipe smoking habit. Some
surgeons are OF the opinion that the
imitation of amber used i'm the manu-
facture of mouthpieces for CHEAP pipes
has much TO do with the alarming in
crease in the disease. while all of them
agree that the majority OF the cases are
directly traceabe to the short clay
pipes smoked by thousands of labor
ers.
The hospital records show that over
80 per cent. of all the cases treated
were laboring men over 40 years OF age.
says the Philadelphia Record The heat
brought close to the Nps by the short
stemmed clay pipes causes a small
bhster TO form, and the smoker
promptly picks il and keeps on snrok-
ing. Then a hard. knotty wart forms
where the blister first appeared. and
soon the whole mouth is involved and
sometimes the tongue swells To cnor-
nous size.
The warty growths multiply until
the chin is entirely covered and the
mouth protrutcs far beyond the nose.
The Surgeons cut away the entire
mouth out Of flaps drawn from the
checks and so much OF the chin as may
remain unaffected.
The operation is one OF extreme deli
cacy. and when poorly executed the pa .
