ANTEDELUvIAN FOSSILS.

Miami Metropolis: Big bones are still
being uncovered almost daily at the
Conrad mari pit. The best find since
the big teeth was a monster tusk. The
portion recovered was four feet, three
inches long and q inches in circumfer-
ence at the largest portion. Only the
smaller end of the tusk was found. 1t
is curved in shape and probably two
or more feet of the larger end is miss
ing. Unfortunately the men in working
the mari beds use dynamite to loosen
up the formation, this skaters the
bones and unquestionably many of the
best relics are lost.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.

Mariners of several countries have
lately been commenting on. the action
taken by the merchant vessel owners
of Germany and the commanders of the
North German Lloyd Line and Ham
burg American Line, which have de-
cided to do away with the terms port"
and "starboard," and use in their stead
left" and right" respectfully. Their
reason for doing this is to make the
terms more easily understood. and to
be up to the times. In the United States
the terms of port" and "starboard"
are used in the order issued by the
supervising inspectors department,
from which all rules regarding the nav
igation of steamers and vessels are
passed upon, and il would be necessary
for official action to be taken by that
board before the terms could be drop
ped.

New York, Aug. 21.-The market for
steamship tonnage remains in the same
demoralized condition as for some time
past and with no indications of an
early change for the better, the situa-

future tonnage for the movement of
new crops, shippers show little, if any,
inclination to anticipate requirements,
an instance seldom heretofore expert
enced for this period of the year.
Sail tonnage rates are we'll sustain

of the market. which fact is attributed
to the short supply of vessels. The
same remarks apply to the Southern
