During the present year there will be
some important work done at the West
Virginia Industrial Home for Girls, To-
ated at Salem.
There was a meeting of the board Of
directors Of that Institution held At Sa-
lew last Friday, at which nearly all of
the members were present, and some i'm
portant business was transacted.
For quite a long time the home has
been hampered by lack of facilities in the
school department. The building for this
purpose was only partly completed some
years ago, for the reason that at that
time so much room was not needed. and
also on account Of the fact that the
states appropriation was not sufficient.
At the meeting held last week it was de.
ciied to complete this addition to the
school.

Museum Within a Museum.

1t is long reach from the sixth
century before Christ to the present
day, but the University of Pennsylva-
MIA Museum has Just incorporated a
museum of that date which was dis
covered by Professor Helprecht. The
museum is not very big, being entire
ly contained IN a large earthen jar,
but the contents are very valuable
from an historical standpoint, and
show that the ideas Of the early cura-
tor was very much like those Of pres
ent curators. Whether the specimens
were excavated or purchased It Is not
known, but they undoubtedly repre-
sent a collection which must have
been made during the time Of Belshaz-
zar, since it was found on one of the
upper strata at Nippur. The best
specimen IN the jar Is an inscription
containing the title OF Sargon the First,
who lived about 9,SOOB.C c. There is
a black stone votive tablet OF Ur-Gur,
27O0 B. c., which tells that this king
built the great wall around the city Of
Nippur. Then there is a terra-cotta
brick stamp of Bur-Sin, which Is the
first yet found Of that king Another
tablet states that the large hall of the
temple was called Emakh, and also
that there were twenty-four other
ehrines to gods in the temple besides
the ones that have been found to Bel
and his consort BELTS. An interest
ing tablet gives some astronomical OBJ
servations on Virgo and Scorpion.
The little museum contains nineteen
pieces in all, and the collection will
be placed separately in the University
Museum.

Found Four Great Mas,odons.

A force of hands engaged in double
tracking the Norfolk and Western
railroad between Blue Ridge Springs,
Va, and Moutvale, the next station
east have uncovered the skeletons Of
four mastodons OF a size unusually
large even for this huge beast. All
fouI were found in a space Of 200
yards without special excavation in
the direct line Of the railroad work.
In one instance the ivory tusks, over
three feet long, were in fairly good
condition, but the others were too
much decayed to handle without
breaking.
The outlines of the immense beasts
could be easily traced in the putty
like muck in which they were imbe3-
ded. The teeth are particularly well
preserved, being about seven inches
long and FIVE across the top. The
ball of the hip joint Is Of tremendous
size, measuring eight inches in diam
eter. The socket must have been at
least y inches across, but it WAS bro
ken up in removal. Mr. Phil F.
Brown, proprietor Of the Blue Springs,
secured the best Of the specimens.
The late Major Jed Hotchkiss often
spoke of the small valley in which
these bones were found as fault in
nature, the result Of an undulation in
an upheaval in past ages. The the
ory is that when the upheaval came
these monsters moved along the noun
tain range to escape from the encroach-
ing waters and were deluged in their
last resting place.
