RICH FIND OF FOSSILS.

Nhree Toed Horse Skeletons I'm.
earthed by exploring Party.
Word was recently received by Pro-
fessor Osborne of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History that the par
ty Of scientific explorers which went
west some months ago to search for
relics Of extinct species Of horses had
found fossils of herd Of five small
horses, says tine New York Herald
The animals belonged to the three toed
variety, which hitherto has been known
only from skulls and poor fragments of
the frame.
Professor Osborne is overjoyed ut the
success of the present searching party.
The word he received stated that ten
fore legs, ten hind legs. several skulls
and one skeleton almost intact, all in
an excellent state Of preservation, had
been found. With the fragments. it Is
believed, it will be easily possible to
restore at least two complete skeletons
This remarkable find Ear exceeds any
ambition the exploring party had At
best the members had expected to un-
earth but few fragments. with the
aid Of which, by dint Of much labor
and study, it would be possible to give
an idea Of the frame Of one Of the
three toed horses which once galloped
on the plains Of the west.
Just where the find was made was
not stated. The searchers have been
working with the fund provided for
that purpose by William G. Whitney.
The fossils have been shipped to New
York.
'.rhis find Is an important addition
70 the history and development of the
horse in America" said Professor Os-
borne. Especial explorations for fossil
horses began in 1901. Last season two
complete stages were obtained. but
they were of an earlier period than
those just found"

AMERICAN IDEAS IN CUBA.
Planters Beginning to Raise Tent
Grown Tobacco.

Planters Beginning to Raise Tent
Grown Tobacco.
The use Of cheesecloth in the culture
OF tobacco is an innovation In Cuba.
but has been used In the states of Con-
necticut and Florida for some time,
says the Cuban Investor and Guide. Its
use is intended to protect the plants
from the nightly visits Of the moth,
which, alighting on plant, lays its
eggs, and in few days these give life
to rlyriads Of the havoc producing cut
worms.
The secret Of obtaining good return
for your crop is to keep the tobacco
free of worms, and in the tobacco
growing districts il is a nightly sight to
see torches all over the fields where
the workmen are engaged in gathering
the pests. We use the word gathering
because many Cuban growers gather
the worms in large mouthed bottles
and afterward burn them. In this way
they are totally destroyed, while they
claim if the worms are killed in the
fields some Of their eggs may be left
to give life to another generation.
The filler tobacco brings very much
Inferior price to the wrapper, and nc
grower can expect to have the latter
unless he pays close attention to his
field and curtails as much as possible
the ravages of this pest. she use of the
cheesecloth, together with the necessa
ry posts and Stats, makes the original
cost considerable but the labor it saves
and the increased returns which it as
sures make it the most profitable in
vestment a grower can make.
In the tobacco growing sections Of
the United States it is not uncommon
to see many lights in the tobacco fields
These are stationary aud are SO con
structed that when the moth, which
surely flies directly at it, strikes the
light it falls into a pan of poisonous
liquid which immeditely kills it. The
cheesecloth is the simpler and surer
method.
The Cuban congress has passed q bill
permitting the growers to import freq
of duty cheesecloth for the above men-
toned purposes.

DR.. s. Morley Wicket, who was sent

IN the past the cost of production has
fallen fully 80 per cent since 1899. He
points out the immense area vet to be
prospected, but at the same time sounds
the warning that geological inyestiga-
tons do not warrant the belief that an
other Ell Dorado viii be found and that
public opinion has settled down to the
belief that the rest of the country is
largely made up of lower grade gravel.
Dawson City is in state of tran

relapse, there should be no change in

NEW LUNAR DISCOVERY.
Professor Pickering Confirms His
Theory About the Crater Lime.

Professor Pickering Confirms His
Theory About the Crater Lime.
Substantiation of important theories
was obtained by Harvard's astronom-
ical authorities the other night in their
observations of the lunar eclipse, says
special dispatch from Cambridge to
the New York Times. The observa-
tions concerned themselves principally
with the crater Lime and were carried
on by Professor w. III. Pickering. Pro-
fessor Pickering, with micrometer,
the crater before and after the eclipse
and confirmed all his past observations
that the bright spot grew noticeably in
area during the time Of maximum
darkness.
For many years 1t has been noticed
that the area around Lime has been
gradually changing it's form, and many
conjectures as to the reason have been
advanced. Professor Pickering has al
ways maintained that the light from
the spoe is that of hoarfrost, though
he has reslized that it may be reflected
light. THIS fact that the spot grew per-
ceptibly larger when the SUMS heat
was cut off the other night by the in
terposition of the earth confirms Pro
fessor Pickering in his hoarfrost theo-
ry. He is now practically settled upon
that point and hopes with this as ba-
sis to work out a pet theory of his own
concerning the earth's big satellite.
What this theory is he will not say.
AS far as photographs and the max
ing of OSCILLATIONS We're concerned, the
efforts Of Harvard's observers were
virtually failures. This was due to the
clouds which obscured the moon dur
ing the critical period of it's full eclipse,
and it came as severe disappointment
to the professors engaged in visual and
Photographic observation.
