Moving a Mammoth.

The skeleton of giant mammoth,
unearthed some time ago in East ST.
IBERIA, will be brought to St. Peters
burg in the coming winter. writes a
st. Petersburg correspondent. The
task of conveying it is a most for
midable one, as the distance TO Irk-
utsk, which is the nearest railway
station, is some 5000 miles. The
skeleton will have to be cut up and
treated with arsenic, each portioff
being incased in cowhide in order to
prevent the air affecting it. As far
as Yakutsk the River Lena will be
utilized, but from there nearly 1000
miles of swampy forest will have to
be traversed. The conveyance will be
effected in sleighs, and it is calcu-
lated that at least so horses will be
required to draw them.
