Remains o. Enormous Animal Found
In New York Village.
In the village Of Belvidere, west OF
this city, says Hornellsville IN W
dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle,
have been discovered the bones Of q
mastodon, from all appearances the
king of his race of prehistoric animals.
The first bone discovered, which was
about four feet In length, was taken
to Bradford, and there DR.. James
Johnson, formerly connected with the
Smithsonian institution, pronounced 1t
to be a portion of a rib OF q masto-
don. DIR. johnson notified Alban
Stewart of the institution Of the find
and he came to Belvidere. Together
the two scientists took a force of
workmen and began making excava-
tons along the railroad.
Thus far three ribs and four verte-
brae have been unearthed. This
makes section of the animals back
about eighteen inches in length. The
largest mastodon ever unearthed is in
the Smithsonian institution, and the
vertebrae OF his skeleton are FIVE
inches In width, the whole animal be-
ing twenty-five feet long and thirteen
feet in height.
Each of the vertebrae of the animal
discovered near Belvidere is six
inches in width, thus making the ami
NAL when alive the largest known at
this time. Compared to other masto-
dons, he would stand like Jumbo
compared to the ordinary elephant.
Mr.. Stewart is authority for the
statement that these are by far the
largest bones of any animal ever dis
covered. He asserts that the animal
must have lived $4,000 years ago.

Architectural Experts Find Much That
Has Been Covered Up.
It has been known for some time
that the roadway in front Of the Ca
thedral of Notre Dame, in Paris, is
much higher than it originally was,
and that the view of the entrance suf-
fers in consequence. The architecture
al expert of the Louvre Museum, M.
Redon, has discovered that the Louvre
is also buried beneath the ground to a
far greater depth than the original
plans warranted. M. Redon concludes
from his Investigations that, rs
planned at first, the Louvre was to
have been encompassed by a moat, the
excavation Of which was prevented by
the houses that surrounded it at the
time. Afterward, when the houses
were got rid of, the idea of the moat
was forgotten, and the land rose nat
urally to its present height, hiding
over 24ls feet of the building. The
Committee for the Preservation Of Old
Paris intends, under M. Redon's SUI
pervision, to clear away the earth and
disclose the magnificent stonework of
which the base is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
