TALL AFRICAN. GRASS.
Beautiful Scenes At Night on the Veldt
When Fire Spreads.

Beautiful Scenes at Night on the Veidt
When Fire Spreads.
Unlike good deal Of South Africa.
Rhodesia is largely wooded. In some
places the forests are Of value. but a
large proportion is not valued for its
timber. The grass: in this part of
Africa grows to phenomenal height
in the valleys. and especially in the
valleys Of the Sabi an Zambezl rivers
it reaches it's greatest height. To say
that the grass is often twelve feet high
is no exaggeration: Naturally 1t Is
very easy to lose ones way in this
grass If one is unfortunate enough to
stray from the beaten track. 1t is the
custom there to burn this grass of
each year when 1t gets dry. This is
usually in August and September. or
even in October. Fires burn for miles.
and as the country is largely a wilder
ness little damage ID done by this
method Of destroying the grass. 1t is
a beautiful sight at night In the fire
season5to see the hills formiles around
encircled with flames.
After the grass has been burned the
rainy season usually begins. and 1t Is
then that the country is at its prettiest.
The grass esther green. and the foil.
age on the trees is beautiful. The old
leaves drop or gradually. and the new,
ones take their place before the trees
are bare. The new leaves are OF all
shades Of the rainbow, and 1t is mucf,
like the fall scenery in this country
when the dead leaves are falling from
the trees. Waterfalls are numerous in
the mountains. and there are many of
great height. although the rivers are
usually small. in yolume.-springfield

QUEER ANIMALS.
The Harry Eagle, the Aye.aye and tho

The Harry Eagle, the Aye'aye ana 'ne

The world has been SO Thoroughly
explored that one might imagine 1t
impossible that any noteworthy spe-
cies Of mammal or bird could still re-
main unknown. Yet every now ana
then something new turns up. For ex-
ample. 1t was not SO very long ago that
first acquaintance was made with
the harpy eagle. a fowl native to the
region of the Amazon. which feeds
chiefly on monkeys. Another curiosity
not long known is the aye-aye OF Mad
acascar II mammal which has one fn-
ger Of each hand most curiously skel-
etonized and elongated for the purpose
Of dragging from their burrows the
earthworu,s on which it feeds. AS Is
we'll known, 1t is from Australia and
New Zealand that come the tightless
birds. some Of which readily breed In
captivity.
The fur seal rebels in captivity.
The seals which one sees captive and
which do such Intelligent tricks are
hair seals. belonging to, quite difer-
ent species. So opposed is the fur seal
to the very notion Of deprivation of
liberty that it will Invariably starve
itself to death rather than submit to
such a condition. Likewise it is with

marsupial about two feet long, some

BONES

SKELETONS FOUND IN TEXAS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BELONG
TO EXTINCT RACE.

San Antonio. Texas. Sept 25.--Parts
of skeletons. thought to belong to pre-
historic man. We're brought to light a
few days ago by workmen digging
gravel in one Of the municipal gravel
pits north Of san Pedro park. The pit
in question is situated against the side
of hill. and several small caves have
already been laid bare by the removal
of gravel In none of them. however,
had anything been found. Tho geologi-
cal nature of the hill is of the upper
cretacious, consisting of white, soft
limestone. material especially favor
able to the forming of caves by the
action of water.
That the remains found do not be-
long 10 modern times is shown in the
first place by the deposits Of gravel
closing the cave and belonging 10 the
pleistocene period. and secondly by the
size of the bones. Built in proportions
rs known To us the remains must have
formed a man over seven feet tall.
Since the Indian. who formerly inhab-
tied these parts, never attained this
great height. the problem of identity
Is as interesting as II is obscure. Evil
IDENTIFY primitive man on the American
continent lived under similar condi-
lions as he did in Europe. where his
remains have been found in the caves
of Jura.
The finding of a metal cup a few
days ago in the same pit adds very
peculiar feature to the case. The cave
man is usually associated with the
stone age. and for this reason il Is
hard to bring the bones and the cup
in immediate relation. although they
We're found in practically the same
stratum. IL may be mentioned IN this
connection that for a long time II has
been believed that some Of the Span
ish missionaries buried treasure in the
caves of the hill. Possibly the cup
found is associated with the cause OF
this rumor Many searches have been
made for treasure. but so far, If IL
has been found. nobody but the finder
knows anything of 1t. The cup found.
no doubt, has been thrown In the pit
recently. and had then been covered
up by slide of gravel loosened during
one of the recent heavy rains. Since
the gravel deposits have remained un-
disturbed in their present position for
d period long preceding historic man.
this seems To be the only solution of
the case SO far as the cup Is con- t
rerned
