THE PAPA ELEPHANT

AdviceS received at the American
Museum of Natural History indicate
that the expedition of Professor Hen
ry Osborn to the desert of Fayoum,
Egypt, III search of the extinct auccs-
tors of elephants, rhinoceroses ana
horses has. been successful and that
the party will return next month with
tons of valuable material.
The most remarkable of the monsters
unearthed by Professor Osborn is the
arsinoitherium, named in honor of the
queen, says the New York Herald.
This animal had huge pair of horns
projecting forward above the nostri!s
and smaller pair of horns lying far
Their back. It's nearest allies, strange
to say, are the extinct animals diScov-
cred in Wyoming and named the dino
ceras. or anblypoda, in sands having
the same geological age as those of
Fayoum. Although as large as the
arsinOithcrium and some of them en-
dowed with three pairsrof horns. none
had front pair as large ana singular
as those OF the beast of Fdyoum.

geographically. are considered as rep

AN ISTHMIAN EXPOSITION.
Tampa Proposes to Celebrate Canal
Start In 1908.

Tampa Proposes to Celebrate Canal
Start In 1908.
Colonel T. J. L. Brown. president of
the chamber of commerce at Tampa,
Fla, says in an interview in the Wash
ingtOn Post:
Tampa leads the entire world in
the output of clear Havana cigars. In
1906 the output of Havana cigars,
ranging in price from 3 cents to $50
each, equaled that of the entire island
of Cuba. Nearly 400000,000 cigars
were made. Tampa also is the nearest
port in the United States with ample
railroad facilities to the Panama ca
nal. 1t is purpoSed to celebrate the
beginning of work Oh this great prof
ect with an exposition in January,
February and March, 1908. For this
purpose company has been organic
ed, and at the last session of congress
we secured the Endorsement of that
body. There is no other city i'll the
United States that has grown so rap
idly as Tampa has in the last ten
years. We have twenty-siX feet of
water at Port Tampa and by July will
have twenty feet on the city water
front. Tampa is the terminus of nu-
| merouS railroad lines already built,
| and other roads leading to the city
are in process of construction. y
week ago we organized Il chamber of
commerce. and we already have u
| large board of trade.
The greatest need of Florida today,
ike that of every other southern state,
is for labor. From every corner of the
| state there comes Il cry for labor that
remains unanswered, and millions Of
dollars of capital are lying idle be-
cause it is impossible to get men to
work even at high wages on the vari-
Gus new industries that are being
| planned. This situation is extremely
unfortunate. and everything possible
| is being done to improve it, Through
the holding of state fairs we have add
ed about 10000 people to our pOpula-
ton, but this number is insignificant
compared with what we need. We
expect TO bring in thousands through
| the iSthmian exposition, for which we
shall ask congress to appropriate mon
ey only for the payment of premiums
on products to he exhibited. Florida
during the summer and winter months
has the most temperate climate of any
state in the Union. Il fact that the rec,
ords of the weather bureau Will prove
No state offers greater advantages to
the farmer, labOrer or capitalist, and
none is more beautiful. 1t has been
known as the land of sunshine and
flowers for so long a time that many
persons think we can boast Of moth
ing else, but it is Il fact that we pro
duce a greater variety of substantial
agricultural products than any Other
state. and no state can show finer live
stock. while we are also away up il
minerals and manufactures"
