AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.
The Saber TOothed Tiger Was q
Formidable Creature.

The Saber Toothed Tiger Was O
Formidable Creature.
The most remarkable Of all the ex.
tinct feline animals are those known
to naturalists as the saber toothed cats
or tigers, group comprising the
greater part of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the earliest times OF
which we know anything about the
family in North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaenously with the hairy
mammoth, as evidenced by the com.
mingling OF their skeletons. There can
be little or no question but that the
hairy mammoth was contemporaneous
with man in North America as well
as in Europe. It's geological range is
from the close of the eocene to the lat.
ter part Of the pleistocene
Ihe chief popularity Of the animal
Is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail is of unusual length
and the legs are short. The animal
measures about seven feet In length
aside from the tail. The lower Jaws
have a downward projection in front
due to fangelike widening of the
1aWbones, which doubtless served as {
protection to the teeth, preventing their
injury or loss. In some of the larger
forms from South America this dangt
was not present, while the canine
teeth were even more elongated thar
is the case with this species, attainins
length of over six inches and pro

The tendency to preserve relics Of abb

who visited a West PHILADELPHIA home
recently may be taken as an example.
He had been ushered into small sit

should be at liberty to see him. He
took a chair, and, noticing a corncob

about half filled with tobacco, lit it and

When the tobacco was exhausted he
put the pipe back on the shelf and

MAKING BUSINESS OF BENEvoLENCE.

A City Founded BY Noah.

In Harper's for April, f. w. Nevinson
tells of his visit to the ancient city of
Erivan in the Caucasus-near Mt. Ararat
-one of the cities said to be founded by
Noah.
'1rivan itself gathers up the post
diluvian history of the land. for it was
one of the two or three cities in this
neghborhood founded by Noah and it is
still celebrated for his vintage Many
intermediate centuries have been lost to
man, but for the last thousand years it
possesses a turbulent record of raids and
counter raids, seiges, invasions and mas
sacres For it has stood as the very CEN
tire of the trarat highlands round which
Perisians and Turks, Russians, Arme-
mans, and Tartars have converted.
"All that is beautiful in this town is
Persian still. In the midst behind the
darkened alleys and caverns of the bazaar,
stand q Persian mosque and minaret, set
with enameled bricks that CLEAN like
jewels. The place is a great school of the
Shiar form of islam. and is built in a
great quadrangle with the cells of teacn-
ers down the sides. and a kind of half

Air Gun Becomes Nuisance.

The law in reference to shooting air
guns in the city limits is to be strictly
enforced. Several complaints have been
made in reference to this nuisance, the
cffnders being principally confined to
young boys who are not at all particular
as to where they shoot or who they shoot
at. The boys make a practice of shoot
ing at passing negroes, and unless stopped
it is believed they will cause serious re-
suits. AS is well known. the air gun
shoots with sufficient force to cause seri-
Gus injury. Chief of Police James Merri-
man will issue orders to the police force

ball to be played here next week between
the Birmingham Barons and the univer-
sity team.
Enthusiastic alumni are behind the
game, and as the season tickets do not
include this exhibition it is expected that
there will be a large amount taken in as
gate receipts on that occasion.
The Birmingham team has always been
a great favorite with Tuscaloosa fans,
any they will naturally be interested to
see the Barons in action at the begin
ming of the season. The prospect is that
a record breaking crowd will witness the
game.
