moth has been encased in ice since
the prehistoric period has been I'M
covered in Siberia and now stands in
the museum of the Academy of
Sciences in this city.
The mammoth was first seen early
in the summer by a Cossack army
officer named Jalowsky, who was at
tracted to the spot by the odor of
decaying flesh. The back alone of
the great beast was visible through
the ice.
Jalowsky reported the find to the
Academy of Science and DR.. Otto
Herr with a party, at once went to
the desolate spot. Decomposition
had set in in the feshy part of the
back, but had not proceeded far
enough to damage the body as a
scientific specimen. The animal in
life stood near Is feet high, and the
enormous tusks still remain.
1t was found that the body was so
well preserved that food in It's stom-
ach was in an indigested state and
it's character could be easily deter
mined. Careful Investigation led to
the conclusion that the big animal
had slipped into a sand hole from
which 1t could not extricate itself,
and that snow and ice had filled in
afterward, holding 1t fast.

This is supposed to have occurred
at the beginning of winter, followed
afterwards by heavy formations of
ice all about the body. If this theory
is correct then it follows that the
body had remained constantly for
thousands of years in cold storage.
DR.. Hertz writes on this subject:
The impromptu grave into which
the animal plunged was made of sand
and clay, and his fall probably caus-'
ed masses of neighboring soil to
loosen and cover him. This hap
pened in the late autumn or at the.
beginning of winter to judge by the
vegetable matter found in the stom-
ach; at any rate, shortly afterward
the grave became flooded, ice fol-
lowing.
This completed the cold storage,
still further augmented by vast ac-
cumulations of soil all around---a
shell of ice hundreds of feet thick
enclosed by yards upon yards of soil
that remained frozen for the greater
part of the year Thus the enormous
carcass was preserved for how long
no one knows, through hundreds of
centuries, perhaps, until not SO many
years ago some movement of the
earth spat forth the fossil mauso-
leum, leaving 1t exposed to the sun
and wind until gradually the ice crust
wore off and revealed to the passing
Cossack the long-hidden treasure.

City Comptroller Floyd Daggett is

No names have been suggested yet for

Doard of trade today was almost feature
less and wheat after an easy tone the
greater s part OF the day, closed firm, with
NIdy sc hlgher. May corn was up u 0%c
ana oats We're a shade higher. May pro-
visions closed from ~ to 121zc higher.
wheat ruled extremely dull and with
no special feature in the market, fiuctua-
lions were confined within a very narrow
range. There was considerable long
wheat for sale and the commission houses
Whlch bought Yesterday were liberal sell
ers today. Firm cables, a decrease of
3,40O 0O9 bu in the worlds stock as re-
ported by, Bradstreet's and small receipts
all contributed to the bullish Sentiment.
A good cash demand was responsible for
the late strength and the close was near
tne top. May opened unchanged to a
shade higher at 75A@75asc. sold off to
75@75bc but rallied toward the close
and final figures on May were 1sc higher
az 1915 @7512c, the top price of the day.
Clearances Of wheat and flour were equal
$4,000 bu, against 439, 600 bu year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
OF S7S cars, which, with local receipts of
90 cars-with one of contract grade-made
total receipts for the three points of 434
cars, against 1856 cars last week and 1884
cars year ago.
Strength in January Corn.
The feature in the corn pit was the
strength of the January option, which
was caused by the anxiety of shorts, who
found 1t extremely difficult to get the
stuff to fill their contracts. Receipts were
quite liberal, but the grading continued
poor, owing to the damp weather. The
local crowd generally was on the buying
side and the offerings came mainly from
commission houses and pit scalpers. High
er cables and a good cash demand were
instrumental in keeping up the prices. The
close was strong, with May A@3sc high
er at 431@ @435sc, after selling between
AZ Nc and 1850; January closed 1ssc up at
41c. Local receipts were SIS cars, with
only one of contract grade.
oats were rather unsettled with con-
siderable pressure to sell by longs with
profits. Commission houses were fair
buyers and checked the declining tenden-
cy. The close was steady, with May
shade higher at 34bc, after ranging be-
tween 33%c and 34bc Local receipts
were 300 cars.
Higher prices for hogs in spite of lib
eral receipts caused strength in provi-
sions at the opening, but liquidation by
outside holders caused an easier feeling
and part of the early gain was lost. Pack
ers were good buyers of May products.
The close was firm. with May pork 715c
higher at $16.021a. May lard was up 121ac
at $9.421s, while ribs were Ice higher,
closing at $S.e71@.
1.-The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat 35 cars; corn 270 cars; oats,
155 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
