RELICS FOUND IN PARIS.
Excavating for Underground Road I'm
earths Fossil Remains.

Excavating for Underground Road I'm
earths Fossil Remains.
Biologists, naturalists and pa1eontol-
ogists have been supplied with new
documents by the excavations and SUBJ
terranean galleries made during the
construction of the Paris Metropoli-
tan underground railroad, which is
rapidly converting the subsoil of the
capital into a sort of gigantic rabbit
warren.
The underground operations of the
Metropolitan system are as yet not
half completed, but already seven or
eight hundred interesting objects have
been unearthed, and scientists are en-
ployed by the city to collect and class
ify them.
Teeth of a squall have been dug up
beneath the Place de POpera, and in
a stratum of the chalk nights of Mont
martre a gang of workmen found the
skeleton and trunk of a mammoth.
At Grenelle couple of laborers dis
covered the skeleton of a mammoth
mixed up with those of a rhinoceros,
a hippopotamus and an antediluvian
bull. Sharks teeth are found in pro-
fusion.
At Moulineaux the bones of a huge
tapir and fragments that seem to have
formed part of the skeleton of a gil
gantic bird have been brought to light.
Beneath the Place de la Bastile lay
ers of barnacles and mussels have
been discovered imbedded in slick.
Vest deposits of gypsum have also
been discovered and the geological
conformation of the beds is such as
to lead scientists to the conclusion
that Paris was once perforated with
thermal springs like the geysers OF
Iceland
No vestiges of antediluvian man
have yet been discovered, such as
were found some years ago in the
caves near Mentone, but the French
biologists are keenly alive to the op-
portunities afforded by the excava-
tions, and hope to find human remains
Of the tertiary period.
Special instructions have been given
to the workmen to look out not only
for bones and relics, but also for
traces or imprints on rocks of any ami
mails, for M. Berthelot, the eminent
chemist, who eagerly follows the prog
ress of the excavations from a scien-
tific standpoint, declares that it would
by no means be improbable to dis
cover in the subterranean strata of
Paris images on antediluvian life
traced upon walls of rock.-New York
Tribune.

Pope's Odd Timepiece.

An ancient clock in the form OF a
planisphere, dating from 1725, is one
of the most interesting gifts of the
late pope'S vast collection.
1t was presented to the wife of Phil
ip II of Spain by the mathematician
Barda-do Facini, who constructed 1t.
The planisphere gives the hours and
the minutes according to the Spanish
and Italian style, the length of days
and nights according to the seasons.
the daily position of the sun according
to the signs of the Zodiac, the solar
and lunar eclipses, the real seasons
and the seasons according to astron-
omy.
Notwithstanding the enormous ad-
vance in mechanics since its construc-
ton, the movement of the wheels is
entirely unknown. When once it broke
down no one was found able to repair
it-New York Herald.

RAISED A UNISON WEED.
Mean Practical Joke Played on Lover
of Flowers.


Practical joking f1ourishes to such
an extent in the vicinity of Pooles-
vile, Montgomery county, Md, that
residents of that section of the cOun-
try on constantly on the lookout for
some joke to be played on them
1t happened some time ago that a
number of the residents of Poolesville
became interested in what was said
to be the seed of new kind of plant
Among those who received samples of
the seed was a woman who was I'M
successful in its propagation.
Despite all her care, the seed failed
to come up. She was telling of her
bad luck to a mixed company, when
one of the jokers said he had met
with success in growing the seed and
would be pleased to give the lady one
of the plants he had raised. The lady
was delighted at the offer, and ex-
pressed her thanks accordingly.
In due time she received a small
plant, supposed to have sprouted from
the seed which she had tried in vain
to propagate. The plant was handled
by her very carefully, placed under
glass and treated as a pet.
1t grew and flourished beyond her
reached it's maturity she found she
had nurtured a specimen of the James
town, or jimson, weed, which the joker
had palmed off on Baltimore

Blow, It's Time to Eat Dinner.

Reminds Its Master, When Whistles
Blow. It's Time to Eat Dinner.
Hard by where some men were at
work digging cellar in a city street
there was a dog. a bull terrier. lying
comfortably, half asleep, in the shade
Under a tree
The dog belonged to one of the men
employed on the job, and it was taking
life easy while it's master worked. But
when the whistles blew for IL o'clock
that bull terrier jumped to it's feet,
and made its way promptly straight to
it's master and halted before him and
looked up at him with an expression
and manner that said as plainly as it
could have been expressed in spoken
words:
Don't you hear the whistle? It's
time to eat dinner"
The dog knows the significance of
the whistles perfectly, and it does this
every noon.
Maybe the bull terrier is thinking in
this twice for itself to once for it's
master, but it's a bright dog all the
same.

REVIVAL OF OLD CEREMONY.


This ancient ceremony is supposed
to have originated with the Romans,
and is a survival of the time when
such things as maps and charts were
unknown and the landmarks were
trees, rocks and posts. Beating the
bounds" has recently been revived at
Great Berkhamsted, after being in
allegiance for over fifty years.
The parish officers and rural dis
trict councillors. accompanied by a
number of townsmen and twenty of
the Bourne school boys, all armed
with willow wands, perambulated the
boundaries, touching each hedge,
stone, post or building, with the
wands; and on arriving at any open
space where the boundary was unde-
fined the processionists. formed two
lines, and, if any stranger was viewed,
he or she was promptly brought up
and compelled to run the line, being
tapped smartly with the wands as they
passed.
This was one of the sporting events
of the day. for, on seeing the prepare
lions for their entertainment many
of the victims bolted and were
promptly chased over hedge and ditch.
At other points individuals were
bumped" either on a tree-stump or
on the ground; walls were scaled, wat
er forded, hedges forced, and, in some
cases, houses passed through, nota-
bly, at Ashridge. where the line cut
through the mansion of Lord Brown
low. At Haresfoot park, the home
of Mrs. Smith-Dorrien (mother of the
famous generaD, the pleasure grounds
were thus divided, and the venerable
chatelaine obligingly came out and
walked the line. The parish clerk
was also compelled to run the CANT
let, also the parson and the squire,
who were bumped six times each, to
the great delight of the onlookers.
The distance covered was about
twenty-five miles.-Sketch.

Cost of the Civil War


The official records of the civil WAY
tered into the union service, of which
number 105,693 were sailors and ma
rines and 2,672,341 were in the army
OF these 1898 re-enlisted, which
leaves 2,128 ,94S as the actual number
of individual soldiers.
The number of deaths was 359 ,25s
and the number of assertions 117,247
leaving 1852, 173 as the probable mum
Der of survivors of the army at the
close of the war, deserters not in
cIuded.
OF the 105,693 sailors and marines
there were 81 $40 re-enlistments, 4,64s
assertions, and 4,5S8 deaths, which
leaves $50 as the probable number
of sailors and marines alive at the
termination of the war.
Thus there were 2,213,365 individ
service, of whom 1,727 1853 survived
the horrors of the war, not including
deserters.
According to the latest official com
pilation the whole number of deaths
among officers and enlisted men OF
the federal army during the war OF
the rebellion, as shown by the Official
records, was 35e, 52S. The actual mum
Der, however, must be somewhat
larger, because it is known that many
of the records, especially those OF
southern prisons, are far from com
plete:
