Idaho and Nevada, from a tropical land
OF dense vegetation, sWamps, lakes and
rivers. where the mammoth m-stodon
rOamed in large herds to a present
desert.
Thigh Six Feet Across.
Some idea of the size of the large
mastodOn shown in the photograph can
be gathered from the fact that the
thigh bone is six feet across. A hoe
handle can be observed leaning against
one of the bones.
1t is well authenticated among sci
entists that the mastodon, while a mi
gratory animal, had an instinct which
commanded him to return home to die.
1t is quite possible that the resting
place Of their bones found in Idaho
was their native heath, and that when
they felt old age creeping over them
they returned to the scene of their
youth to end their days and that they
laid down and died together

cred the bones was in charge of P. w

Napoleon knew what was going on.
He was the inventor of the press
clipping system. He had diligent men
who kept watch for Objectionable
articles. -.- --.-.-
When the articles appeared he
would write like tIis-to F'ouche, of
course: ''The Journal de l'Empire
still goes on badly. What business
has it to insert Mr.. Canning's speech
in the Copenhagen intelligence? Had
the editor that speech before him?
Ought he to have inserted it without
knowing that it suited me? That
young man is. either an i'll disposed
person or fool. Tell him so from
me. If he does not change his ways
I shall change the editor.''
Napoleon was the first of sover-
eigns to realize the usefulness of a
press bureau. He wanted public opin-
ion turned his way. He did not
summon the journalists to his palace
and explain his policy to them. He
was deeper than that. He used
Fouche. One day he wrote to Fouche
from st. Cloud: "Have articles
written bringing the conduct of the
king OF Sweden, who has shamefully
abandoned one of his towns to the
enemy, into strong relief The art
icles must be conceived in serious
tone. You must have long articles
which faithfully depict the king of
Sweden's weakness, inconsistency and
folly. You must have one specially
long article which will be a sort of
Indictment of him." Fouche under
stood these matters quite we'll. He
was assiduous in his duty. The ar
ticles were forthcoming.
It mattered not whether NAPOLEON
were at Fontainebleau during Messi-
dor in the year thirteen counting from
the blessed revolution which created
him, or at Paris or Benevente or
Schonbrun in Italy, Germany, Aus
tria or Russia, in any year; the in
structions were always speeding from
him to Focuhe.
All this was before the day of the
interviewer. Napoleon did not have
to deny printed reports of his CONVEX
Stations. he instructed Fouche to in
struct the papers what to print, and
the editors were complaisant. If,
however, they proved to be obdurate,
they were forthwith arrested. Wash
