Bone of a Huge Beast.

The department of paleontology,
University of Kansas, has just re-
ceived a tibia (shin bone) of a fossil
elephant which is probably from the
oldest known species of that animal,
the elephant primageni~s. The bone,
which is nearly complete, comes from
Mead county where it was found by A.
7. Bodle, on his ranch. The specimen
promises to be of great interest scien-
tifcally because of its great size,- mea-
surfing 33 inches around the largest
end. The corresponding measure
ment of the tibia of a modern elephant
is but % inches, indicating that the
ancient moster was about one and a
half times as large as the big tuskers
seen with circuses of the present day
Prof. Martin of the university museum
reckons, by comparative anatomy.
that the animal was at least II feet
high.

Vegetable Immigrants.
KANSAS

1t seems strange to look back or
the days when we imported fruit and
vegeta bles, with the whole plant king
dom ready to be conquered for our
farmers We smile when We recall
the days before the war;" when the
tomato was curio from Peru-a
poison APPLE used to frighten the
slaves into obedience. Yet last year
we grew it on 100000 acres of land.
The Franciscan fathers were early
workers in this respect The alfalfa
they introduced in the '50s-wbich
found its way here from Asia Minor,
by way of Chile-has turned 100000
acres into an immensely profitable
farm area. Their sprigs of olive. too.
now cover 600 orchards. And few
orange cuttings from the Brazilian
east coast, due to the foresight of an
American woman, to-day represent
S. 900, 900 a year for the California
crop alone AS one of the smaller
things, take the horseradish of Malin,
a little village near Vienna-the best
of it's kind in the world. Then behold
roots secured on the spot, and in due
time handed over to New Jersey
growers. The result was surprising.
Not only did it yield a ton more per
acre, but the cash result was 800 an
acre over and above the ordinary
yield. And in a single county of that
small state the production of horse
radish grew from a few hundred
pounds a year to more than 100000
pounds, says Appleton's Magazine. 1t
has been the same with the potato
from the highlands of Colombia and
Peru; the rhubarb from central Asia;
the asparagus from England; the eel
cry of south Europe; the Beldi and
Tell barleys from Algeria, which have
given such wonderful results in our
southwest; likewise the Ivanov rye
from Russia, now grown in Maryland
and Kansas; and the Abruzzes rye
from the Italian highlands.

Nicholson mills at Table Mound, lola
and Neodosha. The company owns
gas wells at Table Mound, Neodosho
and lola, having recently drilled a
number of 10000, 00O-foot wells at lola,
but the requirements of a cement
plant are something enormous, one
factory consuming several million feet

Emporia Boys Carry Guns.

County Attorney Harris of Igor
county began a crusade at Emporis
against gun toting" by youngsters
when he sent notices to all dealers il
firearms that it was violation of the
law to furnish minors with weapons
The attention of the county attorney
was called to the large number o.
boys between the ages of 10 and Il
years who have guns. When search
ing recently for firearms which ha6
been stolen, the officers found an,
number of small boys in possession o
guns, some of which, when identified

Mr.. Schwab, who may know how to
make steel and all about such heavy
work, has plunged into the woman
question and solved it without waiting
to draw second breath. When a
man who grabs off a few millions In
one line begins to contemplate his
money he thinks that he must neces-
sarily know all about everything. Mr..
Schwab says that Homework is the
noblest occupation for women and
that they shouldn't do anything else.
The girl who must earn her living. in
stead of studying stenography or be-
coming understudy to a bucket shop
man, should knock at the back door
and see if the family doesn't want a
hired girl Work like this, says the
steel man. will develop any girl and
bring her out as a perfect woman.
But where is she to get the job? The
women of the household will have read
Mr. Schwab's advice also and they will
be keen to do their own work. Mr..
ScAwab can see that the scheme will
defeat its own purpose In fact. MANY
women now employing help would dis
charge the girls if they believed what
ne says, and there would be nothing
left for the girls but to drift down
town and run the banks and the in
surance offices.
