The director of the British Museum
would like to find a millionaire to fl.
nance a fossIl-hunting expedition to
Egypt. The story of the recent finds in
the region to the south and southeast
of Cairo was told in detail by DR.. An
drews at the meeting of the Geological
society. In addition to the discovery of
the remains of many animals hitherto
unknown, the most important work
done is the demonstration of the ances-
try of the elephants and their predeces-
sors, the mastodons. If DR.. Andrews
has not actually discovered the original
stock, he has certainly traced the pedi-
gree two steps further back, and one
need only look at the remains he has
brought home to see how well found
ed are his conclusions.
Till Mr.. Beadnell of the geological
survey discovered how rich the dis
trict was in fossil remains, and the di-
rector Of the survey gave facilities for
the recent researches, the earliest
known ancestor of the elephant was
the narrowtoothed mastodon from the
Pliocene deposits of the south of
France. This animal had four tusks,
two in the upper jaw sloping downward
and two in the lower jaw directed for
ward between the other two. Not only
have the remains of this mastodon
been discovered in the Eocene deposits
of the Fayum, but also, and associated
with them, two other forms of more
primitive type. In the earliest, Moerith-
erium. two of the incisor teeth in each
jaw are on the way to become tusks,
and the inflated skull shows signs of
the cellular structure characteristic of
the elephants. Paloeomastodon. anoth-
er of the forms. stands Just midway
In the character of the teeth between
Motritherium and the narrow-toothed
mastodon.
1t is highly probable that the system.
attic exploration of this district may
lead to the solution of other problems;
for instance, that of the distribution
of the mastodons and elephants, which
| will no doubt throw light on the con-
fguration of the earth's surface in Ter
tiary times.-London Field.

II Is during the Norwegian winter
that the most characteristic sports in
that country hold sway. When the
fiords are frozen after the snow has
fallen, the water is covered with bright,
shining Ice, and, like the gulls during
the summer, the Norwegian boys now
glide about on their skates where, in
July and August, they had crossed in
sailing-boats. But when the snow COW
ers mountain, valley, and ford many
feet deep, snow-shoeing, or ski-lobn-

universal, not merely as a sport, but
also as a necessary way of travelling.

ally of ash. II is the most suitable
wood for the purpose, but they can
also be made out of pine, of birch, or
Of almost any wood In which the grain
runs straight, and which is not too
knotted. But woods like ash, which is
both hard and flexible, are admirably
adapted for skee-making. The skees
are some 10 feet long and about four
inches broad, and taper up in front in
a graceful curve. A very slight groove
about half an inch wide runs all along
the middle of the skee from front to
back. giving a tendency to keep 1t
steady in one direction, and to prevent
1t, to some extent. from sliding to one

Fox hunting is not necessarily as ex-
pensiye sport as those not interested
in it might immagine, but, of course, it
is not q poor mans game. Compared
whit the other amusements of the rich,
such as yachting, polo, or the main
tenance of racing stable, it is less
costly and probably affords more
pleasure. The hounds cost just so much
as the club or individual cares to pay
for them. An average price for a good
pair is about $3.50. Fine imported
hounds cost about twice that, and, Of
course, II ones taste runs to prize
winners the cost may mount up to the
fabulous. A good pack of American
hounds represents from $4,000 to $4,000.
A good hunter will probably cost
$3.50 and an average price is about 81.
900. The care of the horses is a great
expense and feed bills and the wages
of grooms mount up in the course OF
year. AS a good hunter is never used
for any other purpose that expense may
all be laid to the door of the chase.
In this country there are at least 80
recognized packs, and Onwentsia is as
suming a place among them. The sport
has been cherished longest in the south,
where English traditions lived longest,
but there are famous packs in Penn.

When the Tide Is In,

The boats lay stranded on the beach,
Tangled with seaweed. dark and green
A deso!ate and dreary scene,
AS far as the eye could reach;
The tide was out.
How changed the view when day is done
The boats rode gayly In the deep,
Their white sails nodding as in sleep
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was in.
Thus many a life. in want and woe
Lies stranded on the barren shore;
But God Is God forever more;
Take courage. for we know
The tide Is coming In.
And lifted from the rocks and shoals
We sail upon the sunlit sea:
Night opens on eternity
Sweet rest for weary souls
The lide Is in.
