A REMINDER or La sALLE.
Cross Found on the site Of Old Fort
St. Louis Built by Explorer
in Texas in 1886.

Houston, Tex.-A number Of an
cient relics have been found from
time to time during the last few
years upon the site of old Fort ST..
Louis which La Sale, the noted
French explorer, and his brave band
of adventurers erected In 1856 upon
the east bank Of the Nayidad river,
Just above where Port Lavaca, Texas,
is now situated. One OF these historic
reminders of the visit of the explor-
er is cross which is made of iron.
1t was found several feet beneath the
surface near the bank Of the river. II
is now in possession Of Harry Bick-
ford Of Port Layaca.
1t was from Fort St. Louis that La
Sale started upon his Inflated expedi-

From Provincetown the feet proceeded to
sea each week. returning Saturday nights On
these trips of week each occurred the feet

One feature of the maneuvers was the pres
ence OF the naval miitias OF several eastern
statos. The members of these militia bodies
are citizen sailors. Each body OF militia was
taken out for weeks instruction on the big
ships Permission to take the reserves on the
voyages was granted through the courtesy
OF the navy department
The Provincetown maneuvers presented the
spectacle OF battleshps at practice firing at
sea under every weather condition for the first
time in the history OF American naval art
Night firing under the same conditions was
one OF the important parts Of the program

Two old torpedo boats, Nicholson and
O'Brien, were dismantled. filled with cork to
keep them afoat and used as targets for the
gigantic projecties. Time and again they
were rddled and finally. the cork having been
so thoroughly perforated that they We're
longer unable to keep ailoat, they sank to the
bottom OF the ocean.
They were towed at different speeds by the
cruisers and thus the sunners OF the men-of

and motion at the same time. one OF the most
diiilcult feats at which the American tar Is

to the American bison. His body and
legs suggest both the antelope and the
goat, his back is like that OF yak and
his head, which is surrounded by cury-

suggests that Of the moose. The takin

spends his time in the western noun

he gets about among the crags as
lightly as does the big horn Of the
Rockies. He is strong and able

account Of himself.
The hide OF the takin which was
sent here was dry and as hard as a
board. and Mr.. Higgins, chief taxider-
mist Of the museum, had long strug-
gle with il in getting ii into proper
sorm, but by following the hair pat

the skin with all the distinction which
an animal Of such complicated ana
tony deserves.
The hoofs of the creature are very
hard and have grooves and scratches
in them, which indicate that he was
well accustomed to making his agile
way over the sharp rocks in his native
province.

can museum several rare animals
