1t comes into conflict with the sea,
when in 1888 Koakatoa hurled back
the inrushing Indian ocean in one vast
billow that swept away almost in a
moment 10000 human beings and
travelled right around the world from
Sumatra to the coasts of England. 1t
is vain to imagine what the scale of
such waves must have been while
these gigantic changes were in
progress.
TO return to the mammoth; what
was he doing in Siberia? How could
he live there? Northern Siberia is the
most rigorous climate in the habitable
world The soil never thaws there to
a depth of more than three feet, and Is
frozen downward for at least 400 feet.
There is not enough food there to keep
single mammoth, and they were
there in millions. The explanation is
probably something as follows:
In three times the continent of Asia
extended much further up into che po-
lar basin, and the temperature of ST.
IBERIA was nilder than 1t is today. 1t
was region of vast forests inhabited
by roaming herds of these gigantic
beasts. we have strong evidence that
this was so. In the first place it is
indicated by the fact that bits Of
wood and branches and trunks are
found beside the carcasses. and also in
masticated condition between their
teeth, and even in their s-omachs.
Secondly, many of the islands to the
north of Asia ar simply vast NAM

We meet the mammoth in North Az
RIGA, and in this connection we come
across a very interesting point. The
Arabic for ivory" is today n1ehemoth.
Anyone can understand how easily
the initial IN" might be corrupted
into tB" Ca cold In the head would
do it,, and there we have the Behe-
moth Of Job, an elephant, not a hip
popotamus, as is generally conjectured
or If the original word be contracted,
mehemoth readily becomes mammoth.
But where the mammoth is so SUI
premely instructive is that, on the day
Of his death, or almost Immediately aft
erward. he was frozen in and has been
preserved, just as he persisted, up to
this day. There we can see him, his
great pre-Adamite eyes cleaning duly
In their sockets, his thick, woolly coat,
with its covering Of long black hair and
it's shaggy name, just as he was thou
sands and thousands Of years ago. His
flesh is still fresh--wolves and foxes
feast on it, his bones are still fresh,
and there is quite small trade in
mammoth gelatin; his fat is still fresh,
II is used for fuel in Kamchatka to
this day; and oldest OF all, the food in
mis- stomach is sometimes found quite
fresh, showing that he must have been
cut off suddenly. as 1t were in his prime.

this swift, complete, worldwide de-
struction is some stupendous catas-

FORTY-NINER BACK
FOR FIRST time
REACHES FARGO FOUR DAYS AZ
TER LEAVING LOS ANGELES
AND HE THINKS 1T A MAR
VEL-TELLs OF FORMER DAYS
AND THE GOLD RUSH.

Here I am in Fargo halfway across
the continent, and have been on the
road less than four days Times have
surely changed" said w. ]. Nelson of
Los Angeles, who was In Fargo last
night on his way to New York. Mr..
Nelson was one Of the forty miners"
who made the rush to California when
the gold was first discovered there.
'"The last time made the trip from
the Mississippi river to California was
in 1S4s, and then it took me two
months" he continued. We slept when
the Indians were kind enough to let
US, which was about once week, and
many times we ate salt pork for break
fast dinner, and supper. There was
pretty good hunting, but sometimes we
dared not go after buffalo on account
OF hostile Indians.
This is the first time / have been
east since the. l found a little gold
when I first went there, but not
enough to pay for the hardship of the
trip, and ! would not go through it
again for all the gold our party found.
I prospected for few years after /
landed in California, but became tired
of that and went into the retail hard
ware business. which has been as good
as a gold mine to me ever since.
"That is a great country out there
and / am going back as soon as say
hello to some OF my friends and rela-
tives down east. suppose / will find
them all on the same farms and wear
the same clothes as they were when
/ left. They tell me in letters that the
times don't change much in the east,
but you can bet they do in California" "

If, every time the sea washed away
a portion of the Yorkshire coast, If
every time an engineer sank shaft,
excavated cutting or drove tunnel
on the Yorkshire moors and fells the
bones and tusks OF bygone elephants
were disturbed. we should come to the
conclusion that many ages ago ele-
plants must have been extremely
abundant in Yorkshire, and for some
reason or other had become extinct.
With this explanation most Of us
would rest content, and no further in
terest would be taken in the matter,
except from business point of view.
Ivory would be almost as cheap as
bone, and billiard balls would be about
half-a-crown apiece.
Now, not I'm one single country, but
all over the northern coast line Of the
cast continent of Asia this Ia what
actually does occur. There the re-
mains of the mammoth, the great
northern elephant, exist in almost In
credible profusion. says The London
Telegraph. For many years people
have come to the conclusion above
indicated and most have rested con-

reduced everything to ashes; 1t could
not have been ice, which always used
to be invoked to explain primeval phe-
nomena for that would have crushed
bones and tusks to powder. We have
the clue in the soil in which these re-
mains are found. 1t is invariably a
water deposit. Incontestably and in
controvertibly the mammoth and his
contemporaries, wolves, hyenas, hip-
popotami, ETC., were overwhelmed by
vast food or by series Of foods.
Man persisted, too. Side by side
with the brute creation we find his
bones and flint instruments, always in
water borne soil, and a curious evil
dence of his existence at the time is a
rude engraving of a mammoth on q
mammoth tusk.
The more one looks into the evidence.
the more conclusive 1t appears. In
southern Europe, and even among the
Mendip hills we come across rccesses
in the hills full Of the bones of animals
of this age Clearly almost to demon
stration they had sought refuge on the
Hill tops from the rising flood OF water
that was to engllf them, much as sail
ors swarm up in the rigging Of sink
ing ship.
These changes must have been ac-
companied by tremendous earthquakes,
and 1t is almost certain that many Of
the victims persisted by the earth SUBJ
siding rather than through the waters
rising. Again the waves must have
been OF inconcetvabie volume. We
have seen what a volcano can Co when

ing that below its surface there must
be simply a gigantic graveyard of
these creatures.
Then came the grip of the frost.
How? If the sea advanced at one
time SO as to cover this portion Of
Asia, it is clear that it must subse-
quently have retreated, and In this
case it was probably driven back with
violence 1t seems reasonably certain
that just at about this time the roof

Himalayas and the Hindoo Khoosh

to cut off all the country to the north

tent Herewith. The commercial in
terest. indeed, has not been overlook
ed. For instance, 10000 pounds
weight OF mammoth ivory was sold in
one year in the middle of the last
century, and few years later no less
than 1000 tusks were imported into
London The ivory, however, is too
brittle to find favor in western mar
kets, though much is in use in Rus

WHEELS Will NOT
STOP TURNING
DESTRUCTION OF CHEMISTRY
BUILDING WILL NOT PREVENT
WORK IN REGULAR WINTER
SCHEDULE AT THE NORTH DA-
KoTA A. c. FRANCIS HALL USED.

The destruction of the Chemistry
building at the A. c. will in no way
prevent the carrying out OF the regu-
lar winter schedule Of work.
Already arrangements have been
made for classes and also for the
work Of the station men, so that in
case Of the former no time will be
lost, and the latter will be at work as
soon as apparatus arrives with which
to carry on the work.
The Pharmach work, under Prof.
Zeihe, will be taken over to Francis
hall and will occupy the laboratory
and class room now used by DR..
Van Es. The veterinary build
ing will be hurried TO completion as fast
as possible, and on the opening of
the winter term will be in shape to
take the veterinary students. The
doors Of the class rooms and labora-
tories Of the other departments have
been thrown open to classes, and they
have all been arranged for.
The Alpha Mus have turned their
fine hall over to the college authorities,
the Engineering department has
crowded itself into temporarily small
for some of the larger classes thrown
out Of their usual place by the needs
Of the occasion. The mill will be oc-
cupied by the members of the station
staff working on -four The records
of the -four work since the issuance
of the last bulletin are, we understand,
lost, and it will be necessary to carry
this work through the tests once more
in order TO get the record.
Speculation is rife as to the location
Of the new building. The recent con-
fagration has emphasized the danger
Of massing the buildings in one small
area, and 1t may be safely stated that
the new Chemistry building will not
rise on the ashes of the old, but will
be given a better location, so far as
the fire risk is concerned.
II will be doubtless be thought best,
In building the new structure to pro-
vide a separate store house for the
highly inhamable and explosive COM
pounds necessarily a part Of the
chemistry equipment, and so far nee
essarily stored in the main building.
While the immediate cause Of the fire
can never probably be definitely as
certained the presence Of those COM
bustibles in the building added to the
rapidity with which the fire swept
through 1t, and greatly increased the
danger to neighboring structures.
On every hand the highest compli-
ment5 are paid to the fire depart
ment for the valient effort to subdue
the flames, and, falling in that, to
control the fire so that no further de-
struction Of the property should take
place. Through the efforts of Presi-
dent Worst and others the roof Of the
library was kept from catching fire.
His severe exertions famed the presi-
dent, but he has fully recovered.
All the workers in the chemical de-
partment lost more or less heavily
in a personal way. The heaviest loss
falls upon Professor Ladd, whose val
liable library, gathered through an en-
tire lifetime was swept away in the
flames.

S. S. CHRISTMAS TREE
Young Folks of First Baptist Church
Enjoyed Fine Entertainment
Last Night.

The Christmas entertainments, In
Guiding a tree and programme, of the
First Baptist church was given last
evening under the auspices OF the
Sunday school OF that church.
The programme consisted OF sengs,
recStations and other musical mum
beers and delighted the large audience
which filled the church.
The big attraction however, was
the tree which was a-glitter from top
to bottom All the little folks present
received presents at the close Of the
programme and they all declared that
they had had q very merry evening.
