"RoNE-cABIN QUARRY"
The Greatest "Find" of Extinct AMI
mails Ever Made in a Single Locality.

mails Ever Made in Single Locality.
In Central Wyoming, at the head OF
a draw" or small valley, not far
from the Medicine Bow river, lies the
ruin Of small and unique building,
which marks the site of the greatest
find" Of extinct animals made in a
single locality in any part of the world.
The fortunate fossil hunter who STUN
bled on this site was Mr.. Walter
Granger, of the American Museum ex-
petition of 1897.
In the spring Of 1898, as ap-
preached the hillock on which the
ruin stands, I observed, among the
beautiful flowers, the glooming cacti
and the dwarf bushes of the desert,
what were apparently numbers OF
dark-brown boulders. On closer exam
ination, it proved that there is really
not a single rock, hardly even peb-
BILE, on this hillock; all these apparent
boulders are ponderous fossils which
have slowly accumulated or washed
out on the surface from great dino
saur bed beneath. A Mexican sheep
herder had collected some Of these
petrined bones for the foundations Of
his cabin, the first ever built of such
strange materials. The excavation OF
a promising outcrop was almost imme-
diately rewarded by finding thigh
bone nearly six feet in length which
sloped downward into the earth, rum
ming into the lower leg and finally in
to the foot, with all the respective
parts lying in the natural position as
in life. This proved to be the previ-
ously unknown hind limb of the great
dinosaur Diplodocus. In this manner
the "Bone-Cabin Quarry" was discov-
cred and christened.-Fr Henry
Fairfield Osborn's Fossil Wonders Of
the West" in the Century.

Japan the cherry-RIossom Land.

In America we have our own cherry
blossoms only in cultivated orchards,
where they are admired more for what
they promise than for what they are,
but in Japan l. is different. Here the
cherry trees arc purely ornamental,
and they bear no fruit. They are plan
ted everywhere and grow wild where
they are not planted. The hills, COW
cred with the deep green of the pines,
are notified everywhere with the light
er green of the cherry leaves, and in
the springtime Japan is indeed the
land of the cherry blossom. All along
the Katsuragawa (gawa is Japanese
for river) there are beautiful little
houses which the people rent and live
in just during the cherry season, and
they must be happy indeed under the
serene blue sky, where the noise Of the
swift little river murmuring over it's
rocky bed is the only sound to break
the sweet silence. To the foot of Ara
shiyama, where we stopped, the people
came by thousands from Kioto and
surrounding villages to drink tea in
the little white tea-houses nesting in
the LEAKAGE, and to worship the beau
tiful flower that is to them the best
expression of their national life

Lonu Distance Chess.

Thousands of deyotees play chess
by correspondence, and there is
game now going on between man
in Canton, O., and another in Warsaw,
Russia, that it willitake several years
to complete, each move being sent by
postal-card from one player to the
other. Gable matches are of frequent
occurrences and many persons will re-
member the international game that
took place some years ago between a
team made up of members of congress
and one composed of members of the
house of commons During that con-
test, one move was cabled across the
Atlantic and a reply was received in 40
seconds. And now that wireless tel
egraphy has become a feature of
ocean crossing there are few days
when some big liner is not exchang-
ing a series of moves" with sister
ship.-Everybody's Magazine.

A FROGS Appetite.

The frogs capacity for envelopins
his comrades and assimilating them
was once shown by an incident which
occurred under the observation of one
of my acquaintance. He had return,
ed from the country with lot of
frogs, 'Aarge and small, which he had
obtained for one of the New York
educational Institutions | have for
gotten how many frogs there were,
but they numbered over 20 | am
quite certain. These he put into
large bird cage, the wires of which
were close enough together to pre-
vent even the smallest from cscap-
ing. On the third day he went to see
how his captives were doing and
found, greatly to his surprise, that all
had disappeared with the exception of
two old "moss-backs." and they were
cycling each other askance, apparent
ly in doubt as to which would be the
s1ast survivor of the whole ships
company" as he expressed it, y
AS an insect catcher the frog is
quite expert, even such quick moving
species as the dragon fly often falling
victims to it's dexterity. Fishes are
also often captured, and good sized
ones, too, a lingering trout having
been found in the stomach of frog
which was not more than six inches
in length.--Forest and Stream.

REruRN 81 rHE FIaHINo FLEEr.

Fhe boats GENE sailing up the bay,
And one by one their anchors cast;
fgrin-beaten are their sides and gray;
Seir flags are at half-mast.
And one by one they furl their sails,
And slowly pay their anchors out;
Ropes, frayed and white, hang from
their rails,
With broken spars about.
Like phantom ships they cross the bay,
With hulls and rigging weather worn;
See, half their lifebOats wished away,
Their canvas stained and torn.
And of the men they carried out
But few, it seems are there on deck;
They move as ghosts might move about
Upon some battered wreck.
Then from the shore the watchers cry,
where is my brother, husband, son"
lost on the banks, the dread reply
Goes back in words that stun.

SCIENCE NOTES.

The so-ealled canals OF Mars have
been reproduced by NJ. A. Baumann
of Zurich, in the cracks and assures
appearing in cylinders and spheres
subjected to great pressure.
A dentist comes forward with the
suggestion that casts should be taken
of prisoners mouths as means OF
Identification. He claims that the
mouths of no two people are alike.
A lake has been discovered on XII
din island. Lapland, which contains
fresh water on the top and salt water
on the bottom. The lake rises and
falls with the tide and is evidently
connected with the sea by an under
ground channel
Old-time notions receive another
rude shock from the strange theory
of M. Houssay, French Psychologist,
that meateating-esp eating Of
raw meat-tends to impart gentleness
instead of ferocity. His experiments
were confined to fowls. part OF which
were fed on grain and part on raw
meat, and the latter proved decidedly
tanner and less combative.
A simple method of recording a
ships course it that advised by Mr..
w. Whiteman. The compass is pro-
vided with $50 electric contacts. and
is connected by nine wires with
registering apparatus, in which
strip of paper is moved forward one
millimeter every second by clockwork.
The paper is ruled with $50 lines, one
for each degree. The registering pen
always indicates the degree toward
which the compass needle is pointing,
and the line drawn shows the extent
and time of every change OF dlrec-
ton.
The Observation-Disclosures of M. Otto
is an attempt to solve the problem
of ozonizing water at the home OF the
consumer. The apparatus includes
little box containing a transformer
and an ozonator, with a commutator
for reversing about one hundred
times per second if the current is
continuous The ozone generated
passes through a filter of wadding to
an emulser, where the water and or
one are energetically mixed before
passing from the spigot- The or
onator may be connected to an or
binary lighting circuit. and the cur
rent required is about the same as
for simple incandescent lamp.

Next month important public works
plans relating to the construction OF
the new Alakea dock and slip for Pa

will be put in motion and the sum
of nearly 100000, appropriated by the

Bids for tenders for dredging
will be advertised for in Au-
gust, and a year from that time,
Superintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way. hopes to have the dock and slip
completed and a second dock partially
SO. The construction of the new docks
will be one of the most important mat
tiers done by the Public Works De-
partment as the new wharves will give
berth room for such big steamers as
the Mongolia, Manchuria, Siberia,
Korea, or even Jim Hills big steam
ships of the Minnesota type.
1.-THE opening of the Panama Canal
will undoubtedly bring big Atlantic
steamships this way said Superin-
tendent Holloway yesterday, "and we
must be prepared to accommodate
them both in the channel and at our
docks
The plans being worked out in the
Office of Assistant superintendent
Rowland, show that the brick machine
shop and warehouse facing the Fish
market will be RACED. The street run
ming parallel to the Esplanade and
passing the Fishmarket will be widen
ed 40 feet, making it 100 feet in width.
The new wharf would adjoin the naval
dock and it's dimensions would be
S0x510 feet.
The end of the dock would be flush
with the end of the naval dock. Next
would come a slip 200 feet wide. The
next wharf, No. 2, which would be

This will bring the end in line with the
end of the Wilder's "Kinau" wharf
This long dock will give room for the
longest vessels proposed to come to
this harbor. BY making wharf No. 1,
only $40 feet in length gives ample
room for vessels entering and leaving
the harbor plenty of maneuvering
room.
One important feature in connection
with the dredging is that the slip and
waters of entrance will have an aver

The whole project involves the oblit-

A LIVELY FOURTH
AT nALEIWA HOTEL

The Fourth of July handicap OF, the
Haleiwa Hotel proved a success like
it's forerunner, although the winner
was by mistake given a handicap in
tended for another man of the same
name who did not enter The wind
blew hard across the links all day and
made the Helrs Half Acre hazard an
almost irresistible trap for the players,
many of the balls which were driven
clearly over, being blown back by the
wind after their initial force was spent.
It was not exactly an ideal day for golf
as the scores of the players show while
some of the higher handicapped men
fell down altogether.
Some thirty men gathered in the no.
tel parlors on Sunday evening to ra-
range for rules and handicaps appoint
ing Prince David Kawananakoa chair
man. Messrs. Thayer. Church and
Mahaulu We're appointed handicap
ping committee with Allan Dunn, May
all and Buchanan committee on rules.
Partners were allowed to be chosen by
mutual consent players choosing ac-
quaintances whose game was nearest
to their own. The sixteen couples
were split into sets of eight with half
playing in the morning and half in the
afternoon, the second half scoring for
the first, and vice versa. It is hard
matter to successfully handicap a crowd
of men who come together from various
links and some of the men who have
played but a few times We're perhaps
severely handicapped on account of
having made one good score but the
general result was satisfactory.
Young George Brown, fresh from
school on the mainland, played per-
haps the cleanest game of the day
while the scratch men fell into hard
luck. Deering played in uncertain but
sometimes brilliant style, and Dunn,
while driving well throughout, ran into
hard luck in railroad hazards. E. w.
Beggs, another of the junior players,
showed up fairly well, and Leithead
looked like winning for a time, E. NJ.
Boyd being well up with the leaders.
Holt and Prince David, previous win
ners, did not show up so we'll on this
occasion while Mayall, who tied the
winner, played a steady game helped
out by his intimate knowledge of the
links. Four prizes We're awarded: two
silver cups and two clubs.
The special train, the Haleiwa Linz
tied. brought down many spectators
and some of the players on Sunday
morning and returned full to the plat
forms on Monday evening, leaving
amid the firing of Roman candles and
bombs provided by Fred Church. Ha-
leiwa was decorated with flags over the
Fourth while the register, also decor
ated for the occasion by Allan Dunn,
showed four pages of entries.
The dove shooters drove over to Mo
kuleia way three mornings and took
back 1850 doves in all as a result of
their shoot. The birds are fat and plen-
tiful.
A protest was entered yesterday
morning against Watson taking the cup
as he received too great a handicap
through mistake of personality. The
scores of the golf tournament follow:
