PUZZLE FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS.
A Fossil Box Found in Clay Under
BaGs OF Coal

Kansas City Star: In q shaft being,
sunk by the Weir Junction Coal, COM
pany a find was made today which will
attract students of archaeology. A rudeI
box made of bark, about six by four
inches, was solidly imbedded in fire
clay about fifty feet underground, and,
was fossilized. but the park can be
seen plainly on the inside. Three ar
roWheads of flint We're found in the
box, and two of them are unfinished.
The box and contents Were below two
beds of coal. The coal had not been
disturbed. Coal is believed by scien-.
fists to be hardened beds OF peat and
vegetable matter. At the time coal was
formed the dampness and heat of thei
earth produced prodigious masses off
underground. This had its day and
decayed and dropped to the wet earth.
Layer after layer accumulated, and in;
many cases mixed with the bark and
leaves Of oak trees, which contain tam!
min. This preserved the vegetable
matter and changed it to a kind of
coarse peat, 1t is supposed that by
volcanic disturbances, landSlideS, or
the accumulation of surface soil, these
deposits We're covered. and the action
of the heat of the earth combined with,
pressure and age ~carboniZed the mass
into coal. The age of the coal is a,
matter of dispute among scientists,
Some says that the harder varieties
have been in the process OF formation
millions Of years.
The box found in the coal bed inigT6
have been placed there While the coal
was In the soft stage, or even while
1t was peat. Another possibility is that
q volcanic disturbance threw the coal
bed toward the surface and in somd
way Enclosed the box in the clay. 1t Id
believed that there has been no great
disturbance OF the Kansas Goa fields
for thousands of years. In many minea
in these fields the layer of fire clay is
found to be Immediately under the
coal. The clay il dug from under the
coal with picks and the coal drops
down from aboV@. Anthropologists are
gradually comiE to believe that man
is of more remoi origin than was for
merly believed. Human bones have
been found with nose of fossil species
of the extinct i .l'ant, rhinoceros and
bear. 1t is nov established that man
existed in the drift period, when the
great glaciers from the north overran
what is now the United States. One
piece of evidence is a reindeer horn
made with a rude picture scratched on
1t of a mammoth. This carries the age
of man back tens OF thousands of years,
but not as far as the period of coal
formation, which was thousands of
years before the drift period.

CHAPTER VII.
AT THE AUSTRIAN ARMS.

1t was we'll into the night when the
first dim lights Of Paris came into
view, and perhaps some two good hours
afterwards before we drew up in front
of the Austrian Arms"
1t was not a new or progressing
place, yet much better than those 1
had seen along the road from Dieppe.
The host well deserved Serigny's
a%ppellation Of a churl, for he looked
suspiciously at me-, and when l asked
for de Greville replied he knew MOTH
ing of him. / could get no satisfac-
ton from him, so I determined to take
up my abode and wait. In went and
needed not the surly host who regard
ed me askance.
The small public room was vacant,
and possessed myself Of it with the
settled air of a mar who has come to
stay. Verify the fire felt most grateful,
and it did me much comfort to stretch
as | listed, after the tedious confine-
ment of the coach. Mine host busted
himself about mending the fire, but
whenever | raised my eyes I caught
his gaze fixed doubtingly upon me. Ev-
identity the man knew more than he
told, and l planned to test his loyalty.
Here, my good man." I called to
him, "dost know ANYTHING Of this
Jerome de Greville? Where is hep"
by our lady, noble sir, I know him
not. Paris is a great city. and many
noble gentlemen come and GO at their
Will
But NJ. de Grevilles lodges with you, I
am told. My business is urgent"
Il do not recall such a name? Jerome
de Greville?" and the rascal turned his
eyes to the ceiling in the attitude of
deep contemplation. l smiled inwardly.
IF it please you, sir, to write your
name in my guest book, should Mon
sieur de Greville call I will show it
him. You nay tell me where you can
be found"
He fetched out a worn and greasy
book from a chest in the rear, and
handed me a pen, watching, as I
thought, with some interest, what name
toned If he could read it. I pushed
the book aside.
on, 1t matters not, my name; 1t is
an obscure one, and M. de Greyille
would not recall it. See here my good
fellow, here is a gold piece to aid thy
memory. At what hour will NJ. Dc
Greyille return?"
He took the coin, and turning It over
and e in his palm, said, as If to it:
IF Monsieur will write a note and
leave it, I will send to other inns and
see IL such a man be in Paris. Mon
sieur is of Gascony?" he yentured.
The Gascons were at this time re-
garded with d%istrust, it was such an
easy matter for them to carry news
into Spain, being on the border.
i soon found there was nothing to be
gained from the fellow. and becoming
convinced of his st~eadfastness was
willing he should keep the coin as EAR
