MAsToDoN SKELETONS.
Marvellous Find of Railroad Laborers
in Virginia.

III virginia
A wonderful find of mastodon skele-
tons has just been made in grading a
second track of the Norfolk & West
ern Railroad near Blue Ridge Springs,
Va. While many of the bones fell to
pieces after the rough handling OF the
laborers who dug them up with picks,
the outlines of the entire skeletons
were observable in the stiff clay, and
some of the parts were preserved to a
marvellous degree. One tusk, though
broken probably during the life of the
animal, was considerably over yard
in length and well preserved, while the
other fell to pieces when removed.
The bones are Of enormous size even
for a mastodon. The ball of the hip
Joint of one of them measured eight
inches in diameter. The teeth were
abundant and in perfect condition,
measuring Z inches in length. Four OF
the mammals were found in an almost
straight line, one behind the other in
a space Of 200 yards. No effort was
made to collect the skeletons, but
Philip F. Brown secured a portion Of
the finest specimens.
The narrow valley through which the
railroad passes the mountain range has
always been regarded by biologists

horses Of Etna and Syracuse and the

clear that the Arabs never owned a

Barb. North Africa. therefore. and
not Arabia or any other part Of Asia
IS the original home Of the thorough
bred.
"Now. though the pedigree OF the
cart horse type can be traced TO the
coarse, thlck-set little horses Of Eu-
rope and Asia, the wild ancestor of the
Barb Is yet to seek for Africa has no
wild horse. such as tarpan or Preze-
valsky's. though she has an ass and
four zebras, including the quagga, now
extinct. Can the Barb be sprung who'll
ly or IN part from a zebra? Arab foals
at birth constantly have zebra mark
inGs, sometimes retained when full
grown, as by Prof. Ewart's Arab Ally
Fatima Strabo, too, notices that the
horses Of the Libyan Garamantes have
longer hoofs than any other horses
Professor Ewart's hybrids from Bur-
chel's zebra and various mares show
the markings, not Of a BurchelIs ze-
bra, but Of a Somaliland zebra, from
which it has been inferred that the re-
mote ancestor of both Equus caballus
and Burchelrs zebra was striped like
the Somaliland and mountain zebra
But is 1t necessary TO go back so far?
May not the Somaliland zebra stripes
in the hybrid be due to the circum-
stance that the dam in each case had
a certain amount of Barb blood in her,
which was derived from either the So
maitland zebra or a closely allied spe-
cies? l have crossed a Muscovy drake
with a common white duck derived
from the common wild duck, with the
result that all the offspring are colored,
and their coloring resembles that of
the mallard No one would say that
the hybrids show a reversion to a re-
mote common ancestor Of both NAL
lard and Muscoyy, for it is obvious
that the coloring is simply that of the
white ducks immediate ancestors. Au-
thorities like Capt. Hayes have pointed
out the great similarity in form be-
tween Burchells and the Somaliland
zebra to well-bred horse, /. e., horse
that has Barb blood in him. He there
fore suggested that the Barbary horse,
from which he had shown all the fine
horses Of the world have sprung, was
derived either from the zebra of north
east Africa, or, as is more likely, from
some very closely allied species, now
extinct, which, like Pezevalsky's horse,
may have had casters on it's hind legs,
like EQuus caballus."

BEHAVIOR MoRaAN's ApvroE,

The interview with Senator Morgan which was printed in The Advertiser last Saturday is receiving commendation from the Democratic press all over the country. It was sensible. patriotic and statesmanlike. Moreover. 1t was good Democracy. as well as sound political policy. Senator Morgan sees as all can see, if they are not blinded by preju- dice, that a fight against men who could not see their way to support Mr. Bryan in 1896 is neither more nor less than po- Htical hari karl. It is the way to keep up discord and division, and 1t is tha sure way. The cry of "bolter" which comes so trippingly from the tongues of certain irreconciliables may be pleasant to them, but 1t adds no votes to Demo- cratic ticket.
 To insist that the platforms of 1896 and 1900 must control the Party in 1904 Is moonstruck madness. To say that no man must be nominated next year unless he believes in free coinage is political idiocy. Senator Morgan is correct when he declares that the silver and the Phil ippine issues have collapsed. He is right in wishing to get back to old Democratic principles, and he is right in saying that

Prussia's Income Tax.

New York World.
 There were 6601 millionaires in Prussia in 1902. according to the governments in- come tax reports; and this was reckon ing millions in marks, not dollars.
 Out of this total 4.25T persons had for tunes of between $23S, 900 and S476,o00 each, and 2,3H had fortunes of over $4760o0.
 Reckoned by dollars instead of marks, there are only 622 Prussian millionaires- that is, persons worth q. .0oo.00o and up- ward to g, A0O, 900; only 1<3 are worth more than 2,40O,000, but not over $6.0o0.O0, and 24 only with fortunes ranging from $6. 900, 900 to 100000.
 There are only two Prussian million aires whose fortunes exceed &24, ,OOO, 900.
 In 1902 the Prussian government levied an income tax. graduated according to the size of the income. on S,7s2, ,0<7 per sons. Its total revenue from this tax was $44. 943, 406.
 Of the entire population of Prussia nearly 6 per cent paid no income tax Of the remainder. $106 per cent had year ly incomes ranging from S214 to $712 and only 4.34 per cent had incomes exceeding S11% per year.
 The largest income tax payer in Prus- sia last year was the late Krupp, king of cannon-makerS. whose income was as- sessed for nearly $5,000.0o0.
 Two-thirds of the income tax payers of the kingdom live in cities. Frankfort on-the-Main and Bonn are, relatively to population. the two richest cities n Prussia: not Berlin

Flirting as Q Diversion.


 The tragical ending of the social aiver- sions of a make-believe smart set" in Buffalo will point many a moral and adorn many tale The net results to date of the intrtgues are two men dead, one by mur- der. the other under suspicion of suicide. and one woman killed. double sacri- flee; the reputation of a wife irreparably ruined; the lives of three innocent chill dren, one of them girl of 15. clouded forever; and other men and women wait ing with quaking hearts for the next development of the scandal.
 And all for what? Headlong philander- ing by men who had wives of their own and were without the excuse of idleness and luxury; reckless fiirtations by women of education and apparent refinement, some of them mothers, all of them with home duties; the pursuit of forbidden pleasures on one side and silly and wicked 'infatuation" on the other. Judged by the unpitying consequences. did 1t pay? Was the game worth the candle?
 The first reports that the coteries which has been shattered by this explosion be- longed to the fashionable set" of Buff falo-the equivalent of our -four hun dred" were soon contradicted. They ap- parently represented the climbers" and the "strugglers" found in every large city who hang upon the outskirts of high so- ciety"-aping the diversions and initiating the vices of the gilded idIers. but lacking the seclusion and failing in the prudence that prevent gossip from becoming scan- dal and keep scandal from eliminating in crime in the upper circles.
 There Is no more conIempdble spectacle in this country than such an imitation smart set;" and the shocking manner in which the Buffalo coterie has come to grief may well be awarning to others.

Lzr rHrM nzmArN sEpARATE.

LET THEM REMAIN SEPARATE.
 The chattanooga Times. referring to the recent race friction among the wo- mems clubs on the occasion of the meet ing at New Orleans of the National or ganisation, says:
 It might be well for the Southern club women to consider whether. after all, pending the final conclusion of the race problem, 1t would not be better to with draw from those so-called national or ganizations, membership in which IS hke, iy to precipitate at each recurring annual meeting an embarrassing situation such as that just experienced at New Or leans.
 We look on that as a good suggestion. If the women of the North see fit to ad- init colored women into their social clubs it is their right. and we of the South have no right to dictate to them, how ever much we may condemn their judg- ment. At tho same time the women of our section do and ought to refuse to re- ceive any negro woman into their clubs. and they ought not, it seems to us. to place themselves in a position to be hupiliated by bcing forced to associate with such women at any meeting of the national organization.
 But there Is another view of the mat ter which ought not to be lost sight of Suppose some of the Northern clubs had sent delegates to the meeting at New Orleans. as they would claim that they lad a right to do. is it not plain that this action would have caused embarrass- ment and friction. which might have ex- tended far enough to disorganize the as- sociation? And. what is much more to the point if such delegates had attended the meeting it is morally certain that the other delegates from the North, how ever deserving and unexceptiona1 they may have been, would not have been treated in New Orleans with the cour- tesy that Southern pc ,pie delight to eg- tend to visitors. That would have been embassassing to the people of New Or leans and to the entire South.
 This race feeling Is real and ought to remain so in the South, at all events. Our people do not wish to mix with them socially and will not do 1t. Every con- cession of this nature causes trouble at the time and leads the way to more and greater trouble in the future. The feel ing among the white people of the South that they are better than the negroes js a proper one and must be adhered to. While that feeling exists. our women ought not to subject themselves to the risk of having to meet negresses on terms of social equality, and the surest plan to avoid it Is for each section to have it's own organisations.

Punish Them Now.

Chicago Tribune.
 The Boston professor who ie reported to have said, or. better. who is charged with having said. that women who use sea-gulls and songbirds as hat ornaments will never get to Heaven seems to have no respect TOT the constitutional provision against cruel and unusual punishments Also, he seems to have no sense of sym metry. If the loss of the beatiflc vision Is the punishment awarded to bird wear ing. what punishment Is reserved for other feminine foibles like face calcim- ming? Besides, the most recent theology, as well as the theology of the antique Jews, insists that the punishment of evil deeds ought to be apparent in this world. Why, therefore, defer the punishment of the bird wearers? Social ostracism' Is a better phrase to conjure with than eternal damnation,' A few significant looks and few significant remarks on the part of the bird wearers' friends will do more to stop bird wearing than can the most elaborate pictures of the bird wearers future lot.

An Indiana Idea.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Indiana has ~undertaxen the work of encouraging tree planting and forest cul- tivation in a practical way. It Is calcu- lated that, under the provision of an act of the Legislature now in torce no less than half a million trees will be planted In the State during the coming year.
 These trees are to be planted under the supervision of the State Forester, who is empowered to purchase State reser- vation of 2,OO0 acres, to be planted in hardwood timber. But the greatest pro- gross in the work of reforestation will very likely be made by private effort, since 1t will be to the decided advantage of large and small land owners to set aside portions of their holdings for the raising of trees.
 Under the law, not to exceed one-eighth of the total area of the land owned shall be appraised for taxation at an acre If 1t is set aside as a permanent for est reservation. The majority of farmers own lands which they could we'll afford to plant in trees with the assurance that they will not oNy make saving in the taxes, but that in the course of few years they will have a crop which will yield large returns on the investment.
 The difference between the Indiana plan and that generally pursued is that the former appeals to the selfish side of human nature rather than to the senti- mental,
