period. And 1t has been found that
the living wild horse Of Central Asia
is completely identical with the extinct
European horse of the Stone Age.

covered another living creature out of
the dim past, to add to the Okapi found
by Sir Henry Johnston.

needing the the assistance of the tug.
''It is especially unfortunate at this
time that such an order should be issued
by the committee, as. at it's, last ses-
sion, Congress appropriat ted $150, 600 to
improve the harbor from the lower cor
porate limits to the James river. and @Ka-
nawl1a canal locks; the contract having
been awarded to carry out the improve
ment. That is to say, a channel of not
less than Is feet wide and Is feet deep at

hundred dollars to this city. but ques-
ton of benefit to the commerce of the

the Committee en- improvement of James

the tug as the city tugs have always
been. under the orders of the chairman
and City Engineer"
