NEW SEA SERPENT IN JAPAN.

 Fathoms.

A new sea serpent has been discov- cred on the coast of Japan, 100 miles from Tokyo. It is classed by scien- lists as a eoelenterate and one of the most gigantic ever seen. It was caught by long fishing line at depth of 250 fathoms. It was a magnificent specimen. A large disk surmount- ed long stalk. which evidently fixed the animal on the sea bottom. A cir cle of numerous graceful tentacles hung down from the margin of the disk, while on it's upper surface arose an oval tube surrounded at it's base by bushy appendages and having a second circle of slender tentacIes around the upper edge. The total height of the animal was 7CO milli- meters (23 feet) and the prevailing color transparent scarlet. The speci- men was entirely fresh, but not living

FIND MANY RARE SKELETONS.
Carnegie Museum Expedition Secures the Remains of Extinct
 Monsters.

Prof J. B. Hatcher, the curator of palaeontology at the Carnegie mu- scum in Pittsburgh, has just returned from the west. Under his direction extensive explorations were made by the order of Dr. W. J. Holland, the director of the museum, in Utah, Wy oming, Colorado and Nebraska. As the result three carloads of material, weighing 30 tons, are on their way to the museum. The collection con tains complete skeletons of diplodocus and brontosaurus, monsters about IS feet long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail and standing IT feet high at the hips. No other mu- scum in the world possesses such per feet skeletons of these creatures.
 In the White river beds immense success was achieved by the expedi- ton. The party recovered beautiful ly perfect skeletons of titanotherium. a beast nearly as big as a mastodon; of aeoratherium, a hornless rhinoc- eros; of the excessively rare mery- cochoerus, beast half pig, half deer. of which only few fragments have been heretofore known.

GOING HOME RICH.
LaplRnders Who Took Herd of Reindeer to Alaska for the
 Government.

Dr. Sheldon Jackson, commissioner of education for Alaska, has conveyed across the continent 25 Laplanders who were sent by the government to Alaska 30 months ago with reindeer and who are now on their way home to Jokkonkk. The Laplanders, says the New York Sun, were sent to Alaska early in the Klondike excitement with reindeers that were to be used as beasts of burden and food by the starving miners. The Klondikers were found to be less needy than was supposed, and the deer were not used for food. The Lapianders were employed as mail car riers and deer drivers at a salary of S26S year each, besides food and cloth ing. They are now going home rich beyond the dreams of avarice with from $500 to $7O0 each, enough to keep their families in affluence for years.
 Of the $40 deer imported by the gov ernment many died of starvation be- fore they reached the tundra. hay be- ing found so rich diet that they would not eat it. Later TOO reindeer doe were brought over from Siberia, and the Alaska herd now numbers nearly 5000. pr. Jackson says the services of the Laplanders to care for them are no longer needed, and that they will in- crease rapidly under government pro- lection. He looks for them to become ultimately an important source of wealth in interior Alaska.

feller's action.
 Over the family burial lot stands one of the finest granite monuments in the world, which cost an enormous sum of money, in addition to the small fortune spent in moving it to Cleveland and placing it in position It consists of a single immense shaft of granite. Frank Rockefeller's friends say that he wanted the bodies of his dead removed because John Rocke- feller had consulted no other mem bers of the family when he designed and erected the monument
 The quarrel between the Rockefel- Ter brothers began over money mat ters, chiefly mining stock transac- tions. It grew so violent that Frank Rockefeller. and his family withdrew year ago from the Euclid Avenue Baptist church because his brother was the most prominent and inhuen- tial member. What especially angered Frank was that John Rockefeller, ac- cording to some members of the con- gregation, forced the retirement of Rev. H. D. Applegarth, his close friend, who is now pastor of the First Baptist church of Cambridge, Mass.

CITY MAY BUY COAL MINES.
English Municipality May in the Near Future Solve the Cheap
 Fuel Problem.

In 1903 Manchester citizens may work a colliery, says the London Mail. Why not? If the victim of inexorable de- nand notes may be washhouse pro- prietor, own park, run his own tram ears, supply himself with water and draw illumination from his own mains and all at a proit-surely he may go deeper afield and annex the bowels of the earth.
 Thus argued member of the Man chester corpora tion gas committee. Taking his cue from wise Giaswegian he has bidden his colleagues to con- sider the question for a month. He has drawn a veil of anonimity around his plan, and until the officials have had time to prepare it means to keep 1t as dark as a coal mine.
 This year the Manchester city gas works will use 5Oo.oG0 tons of coal and camel Already the increasing cost of it has sent gas up three pence per geo cubic feet. Of the extra 5CD,GG0 times five shiHings, say GO per cent. is clear profit to the mine owner. But coal is dearer as gas is costlier. and the contri- button of 5O,0c0 a year to the city rates out of gas gain is in jeopardy, all of which need not have been if the Manchester rate payer could have been digging his own coal as well as making his own light.
 Those who are of the corporation predict that the project will come to fruition and special bargains in coal mines are being looked for. The chief rock of offense will be that colliery ex- ploitation is too hazardous and specu- lative a business for the public to touch. To which the answer is that when you buy coal you pay for all min- ing risks, and that citizens pits pro- ducing 1O,Cc0 tons a week would pro vide their own insurance.

T have spent the summer in a pro- hibition state," said the woman who has just come down from Vermont. relates the New York Tribune, land I was amused at the experience I had with the town agent when wanted to get little alcohol to use for toilet purposes. 1 really wanted it to put on my hair to keep it in curl When I stated my reason for wanting it, as is necessary in order to comply with the law, the agent, who was a regular New England Yankee, grinned from ear to ear as he said:
 Wall, miss, that's a new one on me. They give all sorts of reasons for want ing alcohol, but I never heard tell of using it to curl the hair before. When the cock mender comes through the country they buy gallons of alcohol to clean their clocks with. Every old boozer in the country around has a clock to be cleaned. Then they use it for sprains and for cleaning spots off clothes. but never before for curling the hair

Some idea of the extent to which the military departments of the Unit ed States have been reduced in strength to meet the demands of for eign service is conveyed by the report of Brig. Gen. Henry c.

HOGS DIG BRITISH GOLD.
Treasure Buried fin Revolutionary War Found in South
 Carolina.

Jeff Richards, a negro tenant on the plantation of R. L. Wallace, near Kings mountain, in York county, 5. c., has discovered, or rather his hogs discoV- cred, quantity of gold believed to have been buried by the British officers before going into battle at Kings mountain. How much was contained in the iron box cannot be ascertained, as MT. Wallace is keeping Jeff from talking, butitis known to be rich find. The dates on the coins show that all of it is over 125 years old. and this is the reason for supposing that it was buried during the revolution. The money is in one and fve-guinea pieces.
 After confring some woods hogs in pen built on the bank of Kings creek Jeff Richards went to feed them. The pigs had gone to roofing deep and Jeff's eyes fell on yellow spots in the upturned mud. He took the gold to MT. Wallace to ascertain the value. Then a further search was made and the rusty iron box, from which some of the gold had dropped, was unearthed. It was heavy with the weight of gold.

ADMISSION TO WEST POINT.
Superintendent Recommends That Standard of Educational Re-
 Quirements Be Raised

Col. A. L. Mills, superintendent of the military academy at West Point, has made his annual report to the ad- jutant general.
 He devotes the greater part of his report to an earnest plea for the ele- vation of the standard of admission to West Point, to which end he sug- gests that the secretary of war be empowered to prescribe tRese require ments. He lays particular sGress upon the fact tEat the entrance eXamina- tions at present correspond closely to the educational qualifications of pupils of the public schools just emerging from the primary grades. According to the commissioner of education, pupils of an average age of 141a years in the public schools have these quail fieations. Yet the average age of the applicant to West Point is above. and boys at thst time of life should be eouipped with high school education, including subjects which are net now a part of the entrance examination at
