FIND PREHISTORIC B0NEYARD
Special to The Herald.


FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 49,
What is perhaps the largest mastodon
ever uncovered completely in Alaska
was uncovered during the last six
months at place near Circle City by
Max l.. Lohbrunner. The exact
creek the skeletons of mastodons,
location of the mastodon is on Alice
creek, a tributary of Mineral creek,
which flows into Woodchopper creek.
To judge of the other dimensions of
the animal 1t must only be said that
one tusS of the mastodon which is
still intact is over feet inches long,
and has a circumference of eighteen
inches. The jaws of the animal still
have teeth four in number in the jaw
Each of these teeth, which have been
taken out and replaced, weigh fifty
pounds apiece. The other parts of the
mastodon are in a poor state of preser-
walton compared with the tusk, al
though the bones that have been coll
lected weigh in the neighborhood Of
1000 pounds.
Lohbrunner, who got the bones dug
them out at depth of eighty feet be-
low the surface Of the ground. 1t took
great amount of care and pains on
his part to see that the bones were
not burned to charcoal while he was
excavating and thawing the ground.
Lohbrunner has moved part of the
animal into storage at Circle City and
will hold it there until the spring time,
when it will be removed to Seattle,
where 1t will be put together and even
tually find its way into the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition, If the Smith
sonian institution does not get 1t be-
fore that time.
In speaking of his find Lohbrunner
said: "Alice creek, where l found this
mastodon, Is perhaps one of the most
wonderful on earth, from the stand
point of research. 1t seems to be the
boneyard that a lot Of the prehistoric
animals made for I'm order to die or
to be killed. We have found on the
creek the skeletons OF mastedons,
muskox, caribou, bear and other ami
mails. If this creek ever goes into a
hydraulic mining proposition the world
will be astounded with the many finds
of bones of animals of prehistoric
times"

FOR ARROYO SECO PARK
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 1S.-The directors
of the Arroyo Seco Park association
are formulating plan which they hope
will ultimately result in the dedication
of large section of the arroyo for
public park purposes. Their plan is
said to be to first construct fine road
along the most beautiful section of the
arroyo so that people may familiarize
themselves with its scenery. They then
expect to dedicate small part for park
purposes with the hope that the move
ment thus started will spread until the
greater part of the arroyo is a public
park
it is planned to use will be a sort of
public outing place where parties may
walk or drive and lunch.

EDISON CASE GOES OVER
UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
Special to- The Herald.

PASADENA, March 18.-By stipula-
ton the hearing of the latest argument
in the new action brought by the Edi-
son Electric company to restrain the
expenditure of the peoples money for
the construction of an electric light
plant went over today until April 8,
seven days after the city election.
There is considerable comment this
evening as to the reason for postpone
ment, some of the citizens arguing that
the administration fears to come to a
showdown in the federal court before
the election.
This latest case Is based on the right
of the city to supply electric energy to
the people. Other pending cases in
volve the right of the city to generate
electricity for it's own use and the le-
gality of the election at which electric
plant bonds were voted.

That's one thing that's sure about FL Toroi

the many so-called "Porto Rican" brands.
The recent fncreased cost of Porto Rican

doubtful quality now being rushed on the
market.

FL Toro represents the best 5-cent cigar

This years Porto Rican tobacco crop is

For this reason the FL Toros now on the

HOMECOMING.
A Chinese Custom to Which Foreigners
Have Objected.

The Chinese censor has memorialized
the throne ON the necessity of abolishing
the degrading custom of high native min
listers of the crown kowtowing and adj
dressing or replying 20 their majesties on
Bonded knees. kowtowing has been a
fruitful theme for discussion and contro-
versy ever since the nations of the west
first invaded the shores Of the great CEN
tral kingdom. Hitherto the question con-
cerned only those who came from foreign
lands ON diplomatic or other missions.
No one for u moment thought of suggest
ing that tile kowtow was Il degrading
custom so far as the Chinese high Of
iicials themselves were concerned. The
kowtow before the throne consisted ia
kneeling three times and touching the
ground with the head thrice at each gem
utlexion
Western diplomats and others in China
have not been in the past unanimous in
their opposition TO the performance Of
the kowtow, but the British representa-
tives from the first have consistently re-
fused to submit 10 il. Lord Mccartney,
who arrived in China in 1893 rs the head
of the first British embassy when pre-
senting his credentials would only con-
sent to bend one knee in the presence Of
the Emperor. Over twenty years elapsed
before the second British mission ar
rived in China The question of the
suit Of his refusal to perform the cere-
mony Lord Amherst was never officially
received by the Emperor, who issued an
imperial edict to the effect that the Brit
ish ambassador had not observed the
rules of politeness IN vogue in the Celes-
tial empire.
The French ambassador sent to China
in 1874 received special instructions not
to submit to the kowtow. These instruc-
tions. however, he ignC red, as he held the
opinion that ambassadors must conduct
themselves according 10 the usages of
the court to which they were accredited.
The whole question during the last half
century has assumed an altogether diff
ferent aspect. For over one hundred
years prior to the establishment of per-
manent foreign legations in the Chinese
capital in 1860 European representatives
were not accorded an imperial audience.
Since that date the kowtow has never
been insisted upon. - North China Her.
