According to the current version of the dis
covery, the remains were thirty feet down. sol
idly imbedded in ice and frozen earth. This cir
cumstance and the fact that they not in
contact with elements containing Calcareous
salts may explain why the bones remained for
thousands of years in their natural state without
fossZing. Questions which not fully an
swered are why they We're not imbedded in rock
of the Jurassic period, like the fossil dinosaurs
of lower latitudes or. if they had been thus i'm
bedded, how they came to be liberated that
only glacial debris covered them. The circUm-
stances resemble those under which the remains
of mastodons have been found. both in Alaska
and Siberia; but a competent zoologist could
distinguish between the two inspecting the
skeleton.
Around the discovery and disnterment of the
skeleton and its journey on dog sleds up the
Yukon and over the Chilkoot Pass to Skaguay
are associated more thrilling adventures than
often written in the history Of paleontolog-
ical discovery. The skeleton first brought
to notice by James Buck. of Desarc Ark

who was working a claim Bonanza Creek
Il am going to have trouble" remarked Buck
one day. I've struck a big piece of slide
rock" Soon afterward the rumOr p:ead up and
down Bonanza Creek that Buck had struck a
bone as big as a house. 1t was in the early
Alaskan winter. and prospectors left their work
of "thawing OUT to aid in the excavation.
For few days the find created a tremendous
sensation, and the rumor quickly spread among
the Indians that the remains of one of their
gods had been found
Then it suddenly occurred to the discoverers
that the skeleton might be Of value. But the
thought came too late to save the scores of
pieces that had been carried away. What re-
mained of the monster was taken to Dawson.
and there lay in saloon for some time.
Soon after that Buck abandoned his claim.
More and more he became impressed with the
idea that he had made rare discovery. But
only to a few did he confde what he supposed
to be his secret. AS the days dragged on he
began planning for the removal of the bones to
the United States. But Buck feared to approach

whether the Indians were keeping close watch

portant visits was fitting in another way.
Though too young to have history of her own,
upon her fell the mantle of that other Kear-
sarge. her namesake the corvette which de-
feated the Confederate pirate Alabama in
most memorable naval duel off the harbor of
Cherbourg, France on clear, calm Sunday
morning. June 10. 1864. There were many
points in that battle which gave the powers of
Europe a idea of the strength of the
United States then in a bitter struggle against
dsunion.
The vessels were about evenly matched as
to size, armament and crews. The Alabama
had the advantage of being in good condition,
and manned with veterans, while the Kear-
sarge had a volunteer crew. There was no
comparison between the commanders, though,
and all the honor goes to Rear Admiral John
A Winslow, and all the shame to the Con-
federate Semmes, who sneaked away on the
yacht of an English friend In this sea duel
the Alabama went down with forty of her
crew. who had been killed by the shots of the
Kearsarge. The latter had only three men
hurt of whom one died. The Alabama fired
$40 shots, of which only twenty eight struck
the Kearsarge. not one doing serious harm to
the vessel. The Kearsarge fired only 173 shots,
Of which only a score missed the Alabama.
These figures reveal the secret of the victory.
and the same secret-good craftsmanship
brought victories in the Spanish war.
The old Kearsarge was lost on Roncador Reef,
in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Mica
ragua on February 2, 1894. Some of her Off
GERS narrowly missed dismissal from the SER
vice at the hands of the court of inquiry which
followed. Almost Immediately plans were be-
gun for a new Kearsarge, and the battleship
was the result.

PREHISTORIC MONSTER.
Bones Like Those Of a Brontosaurus
from alaska.

From the ice and snow of Alaska to three
Michigan men at St Charles there have
Gently come the remains of a huge skeleton Of
vast proportions. Though convincing testimony
as to the geological formation from which these
monster relics of prehistoric ages have been
derived is yet lacking, the opinion is expressed
by the owners that they the bones of a
brontosaurus, the Dragon of the Prime" and
the greatest beast that ever lived.
The foregoing statements and those which
follow rest mainly upon the authority of Frank
William and George McCrory, of St. Charles
Mich, in whose possession the alleged bones are.
and who declare that they have refused an
offer Of $1,000 for them, If they are not mis-
taken, the bones date back to a time when
tropical conditions prevailed i'll the Arctic
regions
The owners affirm that the largest bone, ap-
paTently the pelvis is eight feet across, and
though perfectly dry weighs nearly eight hun
dred pounds That this is the pelvic bone is
suggested by the vertebral groove which runs
the whole length of 1t. If this belonged to
brOntosaurus. the monster when alive must nave
been from sixty to eighty feet in length and
weighed from twenty to thirty tons. One of
the ribs of the animal is fourteen feet in length.
and another, apparently broken in the middle,
is eight feet long. single vertebra, fitting
exactly the vertebral orif1ce of the pelvic bone.
showing that it the first caudal verte IRA,
is two feet in diameter and weighs fifty pounds
Another vertebra is said to be three feet across
But next to the pelvic bone in Importance are
two thigh bones. These bones are each tride
over seven feet in height Besides these, there
are a number of smaller yertebre, broken ribs
and leg bones

the Dominion Government for a permit TO take
the skeleton out of its territory. It would take
time, and IL the bones were of great value to
science they might refuse the permit altogether
So he hit upon daring scheme
1t was in the middle OF the Arctic winter
Virtually there was no day. But this was all
the better for his designs. He enlisted in his
service number of native guides and secured
number of dog teams
one night the skeleton disappeared. Not a
bone OF 1t was left behind. and with his treasure
tied to the sleds. Buck was travelling swiftly
up the Yukon toward Skaguay.

Deadly Worm is Found at Mercer by
Scientists.

Macon, Go, Nov. 6.-The scientists
connected with the faculty of Mercer
University are very much exercised
over worm that has made its appear
ance in Macon and spread its poison
broadcast. Quite number of people
have been stung by it, and the effect
has been in nearly every case some
what similar to that produced by O
fattlesnake bite.
The worm resembles q caterpillar,
except that its shape is little more
blocky, and it is not so long as cat
erpillar. When it st;ngs it leaves
two tiny holes in the flesh, and the
poison spreads to all parts of the body
IN nsTvelously short time. No lives
have been lost in Macon from the
stings or bites of the worm, but
some serious illnesses have been re-
ported.
The Mercer professors arc gathering
all the specimens they can find, and
now have nine of the worms in their
possession, but they say the worms
have never .een oatalogued, and no
one seems to know what TO call them
1t is known that the worms feed,
hackberries and the leaves of elms,
and it is declared by some that if q
human hand touches the fuzz that it
sccatters from it's coat as it travels
along o surface the effect will be almost
as bad es IL the fangs Of the worm were
inserted in the hand, but this is not
believed By those who. have been
studying the nature Of the insect.
The best remedy for the sting OF the
worm is said to be ammonia, and it
has been applied with good results
several times recently. It was sug-
gested because it is known that If am
monia ia. inieetad into the flesh ct the
spot whore snake bite occurs it is
one of the best and mos. certain rem
edies that medical skill has devised.
1t is reported that those people who
have been stung by the unknown worm
never get over the effect entirely, and
will for years after have the horrors
ct the suggestion Of worm or bug. -
