WyOainS-De Of Our
EARLY InianA Seas.

Long, long before NAH .was, there
were Americans, i. e., befrHa inhab-
iting the continents now scai3xk the
Americas, to which beings gys1n man
has given very awful names Hecanse
mysterious beings must be n4Ue9
appropriately. says scientific %ex-
change.
The most conservative European
savants have to admit that the Amer
icas are many millions of years old.
1t can't be helped, really. Nowhere
is this fact more evident than in the
so-cnlled bad lands" OF Dakota and
Wyoming. Since 1870 many scientists
of rcpute, like Marsh, Cope. Owen.
Workman, Osborne, visited those re-
gions-where they were called "old-
bone men"-and established the fact
of the very great antiquity OF our
continent. They found. for instance,
conclusive proof that long ago there
were inland seas far exceeding in size
the five big lakes, and of which now
nothing remains except Salt lake and
Sewer lake. Along the shores of
these inland seas vegetation luxuria,-
ed, and the antediluvian forests Of
strange-looking trees were the dwell
ing places of animals more grotcsque,
more hideous, than even the most
fertile brain conceived during the
nges when faith in the existence Of
dragons, etc. was universal, though
vague.
The skeletons and portions of
skeletons Of the monstrous land and
water lizards of prehistoric times
make 1t possible to state the size Of
those terrible animals.
The "AtIantosauqus immanis" had
a height of 81 feet and length OF
1872 feet! The Elasmosaurus. SO feet
long, had a snake-like neck % feet
long. which enabled it to cover ter
ritory As feet in height and breadth
without moving foot.
The Dinosaurs were immense land
lizards, somewhat resembling the
kangaroo. The carniyorous Dino
saurs were little smaller than those
subsisting on vegetable matter. but
were possessed ef immense strength.
which enabled them 10 make leaps of
10 feet and more. Besides, they were
armed with horns and teeth which
would have cut through the hide of a
rhinoceros as il il had been paper.
At the same time, the waters were

traditional sea serpent is but faint
image. What dimensions the Mosa-
saurs had is approximately shown by
the fact that, withis east of one of
these creatures, preserved In the Frit-
ish museum. 60 persons have dined
very comfortably. OF maby of these
beasts. remains OF which Prof. Cope
discovered in the clays Of western
Kansas, no less than 81 different
species had a length of 100 feet and
more.
Gigantic birds and Lizards with bat
wings measuring IS nee. from tip to
tip, scared tksOagh the air in search
Of prey. The "Nastotfon Americanus"
exceeded In size the elephant OF to-
aay as much as an OK does a calf.
BY and by. in the course Of millions
OF years. the vast inland seas were
filed up. dried up and the mon
sters here mentioned disappeared.

The lights are out. and while you sleep
Peace rules your silent world.
So quiet from no sentinel

No clarion horn nor rafting drum
Proclaims the foe Is near.
But yonder In perspective rise
Majestic shaft and dome
The more than Gueenly city. whence
The laws OF freemen come.

Thrills both the hemisphere.

"Alrs quiet" here; but through the cart!
Your deeds reverberate:
Inspiring peoples to arise
And nations to be great.
Hark! dimly come in undertone,
The rhythmic waves OF sound.
From the cities to the silences
That In your camp abound.
They are the pulse and throb Of life,
Which. like mighty sea,
Moves on reslstless In it's sweep
To larger liberty.
And in that boundless life your deeds
Shall live for evermore.
Till deeds OF earth, like billows, break
On Heavens eternal shore.
"Alfs quiet" comrades. and the SHOWS
That mantle you In white

Sleep peacefully tonight.
Softly we tread who marched with you,

CZOLGOSZ COLLAPSED
Had to Be Carried from Train
into Auburn Prison.
Tho Assassin Made tho Corridors Echo
with Cries of Terror While Bcing
Stripped for New Ciothes-AIes-
sage to His Father

Auburn, II. Y, Sept. 2s.-Czolgosz,
President McKinley's murderer, in the
custody of Sheriff Caldwell, of Erie
county, and 81 deputies, arrived in
Auburn at 3:15 q. m. The prison is
only about so yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
there was crowd of about 200 peo-
pie. Either for fear of the crowd,
which was not very demonstrative,
or of the sight of the prison, Czol-
gosz' nerves gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac-
tically carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was dragged up the
stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in a sitting posture on the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most AFFECT
terror. AS soon as the handouts
were unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keepers office. AS
in the case of all prisoners the Off
GERS Immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison corri-
doris echo with evidence of his terror.
The prison physician, Dr.. John Germ,
examined the man and ordered his re-
moval to the cell in the condemned
row, which he will occupy until he
is taken to the electric chair. The
doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no indication OF
breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
81 am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley." He reiterated his former
statement that he had had no ac-
completes and declared that he never
had heard of the man under arrest
in St. Louis. who claimed to have
tied the handkerchief over his hand,
concealing the pistol with which the
president was shot. He says the
handkerchief was not tied. He went
behind the Temple of Music, arranged
the handkerchief so as to hide the
weapon and then took his place in
the crowd. To Jailer Mitchell he
sent this message to his father:
"Tell him I am sorry left such q
bad NAME"

LOYAL TO HIS KING.
Chief Of Zuiuland Rejected the PROPOSE
tion OF Gen. Botha. Who Urged Him
to Help tho Doors.

Pretoria, Oct. 2.-While Gen. Botha
was attacking the Natal forts party
of about 40 Beers invaded Zululand
and raided cattle belonging to the
natives. The burghers then offered
to return the cattle if the chief would
not undertake to defend the border
against the Beers. The chief replied
that he would remain true to his
king. Botha's move on the border
was clever, and enabled him to strike
a point long distance from any rail-
way. Now, however, his only alter
natives are the invasion of Zululand,
or a rapid retreat along its north
east frontier.
