Why Their Bones Are Found Ns0r
Salt or Sulphur Springs.

wherever you find salt or sulphur
springs" says gentleman connected
with the United States geological sur
vcy, yen may expect TO find the bones
of mastodons and other huge creatures
that have now become extinct. Many
persons suppose that the presence of
these bones In great numbers indicates
that the animals had sort of common
cemetery, like the llamas of Chile.
which when they felt death coming on
always made for the nearest stream or
pond and, If they could get there, died
In the water
THAT, however, is likely only SUI
perstition. The mastodon bones In a
salt or sulphur marsh indicates that
water and occasionally one got mired
and was suffocated. The great num-
bers of the bones do not prove that
whole herd of mastodons was drowned
mt once, but that one being mired ev-
cry year or so during several centuries
would in time cause a great aecumula-
ton of bones. Missouri has bono
marsh at Sulphur Springs there Is a
great mine of them at the Salt Springs
In Kentucky and at several places In
Ohio and Indiana where there are
saline springs. A great spring In Flor
Ida, one of the four or five huge out
let's which are grouped under the name
of Silver Spring, Is called "the bone
yard" because the bottom and sides
are masses of mastodon bones. st.

Why He "let En- Grown

"Yes, I've given up shaving" he told
his friends II never could shave my
self, and the last time l was operated
on was In such a blue funk that
shudder to think of It. The barber
had musical ear, and he lathered me
to the tune Of The Blind Boy which
was being ground out by barrel organ
close by. Slow certainly, but nothing
TO complain about. BY the time the
scrapIng process had commenced the
tune had changed to the liveliest of
jlgs and the musical shaver seemed to
be enjoying himself hugely as he did
his best to keep time. was afraid to
take a breath for fear 1t would be my
last.
'rhen the organ stopped, but only
for second, and when | heard the
strains of Stop Your Tickling, Jock
vowed that rather than run the risk of
being finished off In BARRIERS chair
by musical maniac would let 'em
grow for the future and chance the
crop, Modern Society.
