A MAMM0TH'S BIG
GRINDER is FOUND
TOOTH OF EXTINCT SPECIES a
VALUABLE CURIOSITY.
WEIGHS FIFTEEN POUNDS
Was for While in Possession of Prot.
Weidmann of the University at
Geological Museum, but Returned
an Account of High Price Asked
for it-Mammoths and Mastodons.

\ large tooth found last summer
near Eastwood, Richland county, is
that of the mammoth, the extinct rep
resentative of the present day Gle
plant. The tooth is 9 back molar
having Is or 20 ridge {. I'd very likely
its possessor belonged to the species
elephes primigeniem, genus which
had a very widespread distribution
over the northern portion OF both the
old and new world during the period
of the great ice age and for some
time previous. rhe tooth weights Is
pounds and has a diameter of 8
inches, Professor Samuel Weidman
of the state geological survey, who has
had possession of the tooth until re-
Gently, gave some very interesting
facts concerning the family of this
animal in the old and new world.
The masticator has been returned to
the finder because of the high price
he demanded for it. A crusher of
the same species discovered about 20
years ago in Iowa county is the only
relic of the animal now in the mu-
scum.
The teeth and bones of a masto-
don, the nearest relation to the NAM
moth. We're discovered a few years
ago in Richland and Grant county.
These remains are in possession of the
university, being on exhibition in the
geological museum. All the remains
of these extinct Wisconsin elephants
thus far found have been in low
marshy places, imbedded in the black
muck. They were probably mired in
the place where they were found and
were preserved in the mud, whereas
those that died upon the dry land fur
nished fresh food for vultures and
other animals and their bones were
later destroyed by rodents; thus all
trace of them was soon removed.
The mammoth and mastodon were
contemporaries in Wisconsin as else
where in the northern hemisphere
and We're very likely masters of the
forests in which they roamed Both
species were of enormous bulk and
both had proboscis or trunk and
long tusks. They may be said to be
second in the old world, while the
existing elephant Is a much nearer
relative of the mammoth, certainly
as near as a first cousin and pos
sibly a great great grandson.
Both the mammoth and mastodon
are greater in size than the present
day elephant, ranging from to IL feet
in height and having trunks from
to 10 feet in length. The size of
both animals have been generally over
estimated Representatives of the
mastedon appear to have been more
numerous in America than the NAM
moth. The former abounded in such
numbers that though extinct for thou
sands of years their tusks are articles
of commerce and fossil ivory has its
current price.
A book by Frederick A. Tucan, Con-
corning Animals of the Past, has re-
Gently been written. From It num-
Der OF interesting facts about the
mammoth and mastodon may be
learned.

DR.. T. s. Dedrick in a statement just
issued clears up much of the mystery
attaching to his quarrel in the arctic
regions with Lieutenant Robert E.
Peary. DERRICK was surgeon of the
Peary expedition that left New York
in the summer of 1898 to search for
the north pole. He left the expedi-
food in the far north in the summer OF
1900. but remaining within call in
case his services were needed by the
expedition. Though suffering severe
ly, he says he refused to come home
until the Peary expedition came south,
as it did last summer.
In his statement DR.. DERRICK says
Lieutenant Peary treated him in an
inhuman manner and that the lieuten-
ants refusal to accept his voluntary
professional services after he had re-
signed his place in the expedition cost
the lives of many of Peary's Eskimo
assistants.
DR.. Dedrick's first statement on the
quarrel with Lieutenant Peary fol-
lows:
Let me review: On Aug. 81, at the
rendezvous of the two ships at Dirk
bay, gave my verbal resignation and
proffer of voluntary services. Mr..
Peary accepted the former, but want
ed to deliberate over the latter. AS
in both instances of previous engage
ments (Which were dropped at his re-
quest he had accepted my voluntary
services, | supposed he would now.
"The ships separated to meet up
the shore toward Etah. At Nekre
was directed to continue on the Wind
ward in charge of the Eskimos, he
being on the Erik. On the oath the
ships met, stores were transferred
and, the Windward remaining, all OF
us proceeded on the Erik toward Cape
Sabine, supposed to be reached by
evening, after making a call at Etah
before crossing the channel.

Methods by Which Inanimate Things

The methods of plants by which they
protect themselves from their enemies
by mimicking other plants which have
adequate protection are interesting in

Mlmicry Is perhaps more frequent In
the seed than in any other part of the
vegetable organism; it occurs, however
in other organs, and even the entira
plant body may assume deceptiye an.
pearance. a well known example is in
the white dead nettle, which so close
ly resembles the stinging nettle in size
and in the shape and arrangement of
its leaves. In systematic position tho
two plants are widely removed from
each other, hut they grow In simila r
situations and are easily mistaken

model for unprotected plants to copv.

Birley remained that night at the

lodgings | was surprised, even for the
moment terrified, to see lights across

hurriedly picked my way round to
the place. About the fallen wall-the
gigantic tomb-slab of Lacroix, which a
brawny pickman, naked to the waist,
was hewing at-there stood, IN silent,
stolid expectation, crowd of thirty or
forty men and lads, with two or three
women with shawls over their heads.
Many of the men were in the colored
garh OF the chemical works.

So my connection with the pictures
had been discovered.
In silence the newer picked the
bricks loose, pausing now and then to
let comrade throw the debris aside.
Soon space was cleared, and he began
carefully to pick into and loosen the
soil. A shovel was brought into requi-
sition, and the earth and rubbish were
thrown aside. And the old ventil-
ating cowl overhead kept grinding
stiffiy and slowly about, with painful,
long-drawn means, as if it were op-
pressed with the spirit OF the scene.
'I've struck on summat!" exclaimed
the newer, pausing abruptly and speak
ing in hurried whisper.
Several hands we're now tearing at

and he began to tug at it.

plants grow together there is little
room to doubt that, like the dead net

its well-protected neighbor.
