Atlantic City Has an Attraction IN
the skeleton of Prchts-
toric Monster.

A most interesting discovery was
made day or two ago near Grassy
Point, N. j., along the margin of the
Thoroughfare meadows opposite Vent
nor, where the vertebrae of an enor-
nous mammal, estimated to have been
fully 100 feet in length, were brought
to light; in fact, the discovery is one
of the most wonderful ever made along
the Atlantic coast, and possibly on .he
'American continent, and is one which
will doubtless prove to be OF great
interest to scientists and may throw
considerable light upon the geology

In company with the late j. r. Osgood I
once of an evening dropped in at Wallack' $

get no seats, as there was standing room

chestra seats were vacant in front, and we
walked down and took them. Barely were
we seated when two gentlemanly-looking
young men came down the aisle and ad-
dressed me.

Lucky Strikes.

Miners returning from Alaska dig
gings tell all kinds of tales about luck,
but pretty well agree that the man
who succeeds is the one who does not
realize the risk he is running, and
takes every desperate chance. The
men who are scientific and calculating
do not find the best claims. A stout
constitution, enough money to buy
food for six months and a disposition
to look for gold anywhere seem to be
the elements needed for success. But
not all good luck stories have pleas
ant endings. One man dropped dead
when at the end of the first cleanup
he found himself rich man. He had
a weak heart, and success killed him.
One of the greatest pieces of luck at
Nome City is that of boy of 10, who
came there as a stowaway, was kicked
on shore, and in two months was
worth 100000. Strangest of all, he
had the sense to send his fortune
home anu follow it himself.-Golden
