THE GREATEST MAsTADoN.
Teeth Of Prehistoric Monster Fonud
Weigh SO Pounds aeh.

What Us perhaps the largest masto-
don ever uncovered completely in
Alaska was unearthcd during the past
six months at Circle City by Max l..
LOhbrunner.
The exact location Of the mastadon
is on Alice creek. a tributary of Min
eral creek. which flo-' into Wood
chopcr creek. To Judge OF the other di-
mcnsions Of the huge monster II must
be only said that one tusk of the
mammoth which is sull intact Is more
than nine feet eight inches long and
has a circumference OF eighteen
inches. The jaws of the animal still
have teeth. four In number Each OF
these teeth. which have been taken
out and replaced weigh hfty pounds
apiece. The other parts OF the animal
are in poor state of preservation
compared with the tusk. Although the
bones have not all been collected, they
weigh I'm the ncighborhod of about
600 pounds.
Lohbrmcr. who got the bones, dug
them ont az depth OF eight feet below
the surface Of the ground. It took a
great amount of care and pains ON his
part to see to It that the bones were
not burned to charcoal while he was
cNcayatiuE and thawing the ground.
Lohhrunnor has moved part of the
animal into storage at Circle city and

IF SUNDAY WAS DAY OF REST.
Inconvenience II Would Cause " Ev
eryone Ceased to Work.

II is estimated that In this city are
5000 men vino work each Sunday
II these should decide TO obey tho
scriptural Injunction: 'Remember the
Sabbath day and keep It holy" 1t
would result in great Inconvenience
to the remainder Of the population.
If everyone ceased TO work upon
Sunday there would be no Divine
worship Ia the churches in the win.
ter. there would be no fires in the
church furnaces.
The greater part OF the congrega
tions could not assemble anyway. be
cause the street cars would not be
running.
There would be no amusement
parks open and no way TO get 10 th'm
The theatcrs would be resting. The
city would be at the mercy OF fires
and the criminal classes because the
policemen and nremen would all be
having their day "off.'
There would be no newspapers and
no distribution or collection Of mail
There would be no trains TO bring
1t In or take 1t cut anyway Hundreds
Of men work every Sunday In the
postoffice department.
At night It would be necessary ~
resort to tallow candles or kerosene
lamps because there would be no gas
or electricity II takes men to pro
vide these conveniences. And those
householders who use gas for heating
purposes would be forced to go to bed
and cover up to keen warm.
Where would he the great mass OF
people without homes OF their own,
get their meals Jn Sunday? The
cooke. walters and boarding house
workers would be observing the Sab
bath. And how about the housewife
who Is depended upon to prepare the
hest meal of the week for Sunday
| There would be no warm Sunday din
ners In the homes. and IN the hotels
guests would have TO go to the kitch
ems and eat cold luncheons prepared
and left for them the day before.

The system OF angarl. or couriers ON

SLAMS. who. according to Zenophon. had
established 1t under Cyrus the Elder.
The Roman adaptation OF II was the
best system of transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at distance OF
five or six miles from each other. At
each Of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the help
of relays 1t was easy to travel hun
dred miles in day.
These services were intended for the
state only. II being imperative to Sc
cure the rapid interchange OF official
communications In the time of julius
Caesar the system was so well or
ganized that OF two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain TO Cicero at
Rome the one reached It's destination
In twenty.riN and the other In twen-
ty-eight days.
Private citizens had 10 trust TO the
services OF slaves. and II Is not until
the end OF the third century that we
