Pine Forests at the South Pole

From the Westminster Gazette.
Prof. David, who occupies the chair
of geology in the University of Sydney.
and who accompanied Sir Ernest Shack
Teton to the antarctic. has been making
some interesting remarks on his dis
coveries there. The fossil woods he
had found showed that pine forests
had fiourished in the vicinity of the
south pole at remote geological epoch
The coal seams he had discovered sug-
gested the same conclusions. At that
time there was more Aor less continuous
land from Australia to the south pole
The climate all over the world was at
that period probably much milder than
at present.

Three-Dollar Gold Pieces.

Beginning with the year 1854 and end
ing with the year 1889 there were $780,
1872 of three-dollar gold coins sent out
from the United States mint. total
value Of s1,619,376. A few were made
in the early years at the minis at Dab
lonega and New Orleans and quite a
number at the San Francisco mint I'D to
1890. but the bulk Of these coins were
turned out by the mint at Philadelphia.
They were never coined in sufficient num-
bers, these figures show, to become really
familiar to the people outside of banks,
and it is hardly strange that the,existence
Of the coin should be now largely for

stone representing a grinning figure,

Work Will Be Resumed With Vigor
When Congress Convenes
in Fall.

Most of the work Of the Senate COM
mttee appointed to investigate the al
legged "third-degree'' methods of the po-
lice of this country probably will be
postponed until next winter.
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, who
i sthe chairman of the committee called
a meeting for this morning, but owing
to the absence from Washington of some
members no session was held. Chairman
Brandegee said, however. that the men,
bers would get together soon to talk over
the work to be done and lay plans for
gathering the data and information
thought necessary.
Some hearings will be held during the
remaining days of the present session,
1t is expected and the work will be re-
sumed with vigor next fall. about the
time Congress convenes, and will be
pushed to completion in short time.
Methods to Be Pursued.
I'VE do not propose to organize our
selves into a detective bureau" re-
marked Chairman Brandegee this after
noon. nor to adopt third degree
methods in conducting our investiga-
ton.
We propose to find out if there is an
organized or general practice mong the
police which ought to be stopped and to
find out what legislation. if any, is neces-
sary to put a stop to it.
'As the committee has had no meeting
to outline the plans, cannot say just
what they are. My idea is that the
committee will have some hearings but
that much of its information will come in
affidavits and written statements

in their second game at Athletic park.
Both teams have been doing hard

what promises to be very close and

night, it is doubtful If the grounds
will be very fast. Waseda players

defeat to victory.
Both teams will have their strong
est men in the game, as neither team
wishes to take any chances with
weak players. The game last Thurs
day was a splendid exhibition of the
national sport, but today's game pro
misses to be even more exciting.
In spite of the fact that tomorrow
is full day for business, a big crowd
is expected to watch the game, the
roofing being a part of the game that

What will become of her in that
