Elk HORNS N ROOTS Of TREE
Railroad Workers Make Interesting
Diseovery-Theory is That Animal
Became Prisoner While Tear
ing up Ground.

TACOMA, Jan. Awhile cutting
out a hemlock stump on the Milwaukee
right-of-way between Pacific City and
Stuck few days ago, o. Cronet and l.
Kohler, two members ia grading
crew, found the horns of full grown
elk. The prongs of one horn were
sOIidly imbedded in root about eight
inches in diameter. The roots were
twisted about the other horn so that
it was necessary to break it in getting
it out.
The stump under which the horns
were found was that of tree appar.
emily over fifty years old. How the
horns came to be in such a position
is a mystery One theory is that
the animal died at the foot of the tree
and the roots grew over the horns and
were gradually covered with earth.
Another explanation is that bull elk,
tearing up the ground at the foot of
the tree, caught his horns in the roots
and was held prisoner until he died.
In view of the fact that two of the
prongs were forced through one of the
largest roots, the latter theory is &C
copied as more probable.
The horns and pieces of the root are
in possession of M. Mcconnell, 1873
Pacific avenue.

Curious Corner of TOyland Is the
Austrian Village St. Ulrich.
Tourists wandering out of the beaten
tracks Of their kind occasionally come
to little village in Austria which pre-
sents the aspect Ola corner Of toyland.
The name Of the village is~St. Ulrich,
and nearly all of it's inhabitants are
toymakers. Each household, too, has
its speciality. One old woman has done
nothing but carve wooden cats, dogs.
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants.
She has made those six animals her
whole life long, and she has no idea
how to cut anything else. She makes
them In two sizes and turns out as
nearly as possible a thousand Of them

She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily.
unerringly. using gauges Of different
sizes and shaping out her cats, dogs
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants
with an ease and an amount of truth
to nature that would be clever if they
were not utterly mechanical.
This woman learned from her moth
er how to carve those six animals, and
her mother had learned, in like man.
ner from her grandmother. She has
taught the art to her own granddaugh-
ter, and SO it may go on being trans
mitted for genera tons.
In another house one will find the
whole family carving skulls and cross
