A Tooth Point.

Dentists children rarely have filled
to use the toothbrush with a circular mo-
ton. The brush, as in the ordinary mo-
ton, goes back and forth, but it also
goes round and round. Thus it finds out
all the crannies.
Dentists say that the circular motion
applied both to the front and back OF
the teeth, will keep them absolutely
clean-and absolutely clean teeth cannot
decay.
The teeth should be brushed after each
meal and especially at bedtime. The
morning brush before breakfast. which
is the only one commonly applied, does
scarcely any good at all, since the teeth

what | mean," he continued, ''is
that the cause of coughing is the cause
of our survival. That cause is mimicry.
Mimicry is a better life preserver than
fieetness or strength.
For by mimicry we manage not to
attract attention, and in prehistoric
times they who attracted attention
were hunted down by the tribe and
roasted for dinner, or hunted down by
the sabre-tooth tiger and taken raw.
''Since those dark days mimicry has
been instructive with us. Mimicry is
what causes us to follow the fashions.
1t causes us, when in England, to say
'cawn't' and lawf'.

Where the Party Travelled.

The party was gone i'll all about foul
months, during which nearly the entire
length of the Yukon river was covered
and several of its TRIBUTARIES partly eX-
plored. Close upon l4OO miles OF the
distance was Travelled By canoe pnrlng
the whole time search was made along
the cliffs and in the river bars as beng
the places most likely to show relics OF
early beasts.
The course was laid through SkagWay
ON the upper part of the river by tram
to White Horse, then by steamer through
Dawson to Rampant, whence came some
ancient bison skulls now in the United
States National museum. Rampant
marked the beginning of the long jour
ney by canoe. For thirty or forty miles
below Rampant the Yukon flows between
walls of older rocks at from five to
six miles an hour, tumbling faster and
faster down toward the rapids. But the
rapids once passed, Fort Gibbon is
reached, below which lie the now we'll
known Palisades" dubbed in that
region the ''boneyard," for from it have
been dug broken remnants of many early
beasts.
The party here spent two days gath
ering remains from the frozen cliffs $50
to 200 feet high. The almost perpendlcu-
lar faces of the cliffs are being con-
tinually undermined by the swift cur

Results of the Expedition.

1t was found that the scattered re-
mains of very early animals occur
throughout the heart of Alaska not CON
stantiy covered by ice and snow, in three
quite distinct deposits. First, in the
bluck muck accumulated in gulches and
the valleys of the smaller streams; sec
ond, in the fine elevated clays of early
origin, known as the Yukon sits and
Kowak clays; and third, in the more re-
cent deposits along the banks of streams.
These specimens have been either
washed out by the process of erosion OF
dug out by miners in search of gold.
In connection with the 'boneyard'' of
the Palisades, and with Elephant Point
farther north, it has been thought that
there might be enough ivory in old I'M
hedded mammoth tusks to pay for its
excavation and shipping for commercial
purposes, as is the case in some To-
calities of Siberia. In fact mammoth
tusks for good many years have been
an important export of Siberia. But the
Alaskan remains are not in as fresh
a state of preservation.

as the ice melted, becoming imbeded in

Recent Expeditions Fruitful.

Ever since Otto Won Kotlepac, neatly
a century ago brought back from Alas
strange extinct beasts, men of science
have looked upon that region as pos
sible source of information concerning
the early ancestors of our northern Amer
lean animals. Much has been written
about it. Little systematic was done,
however, until 1904, when the Smithson-
ian institution sent out it's first expedi-
ton under A. G. Maddren. This trip
was so fruitful that the institution last
season dispatched a second expedition, IN
charge of G. w. Gilmore, which, while
following a certain itinerary, was TO
search for the remains of large extinct
vertebrate animals ana to investigate the
causes leading to then extinction.
