some one attempted to throw iii
doubt upon this description, XII
but subsequent discoveries III
render it perfectly credible. M
The skeleton was found. as
usual, in a peat bog in which
there had been a consider !
able accumulation of vege-
table mold, blue clay and
sand, and was about five feet
below the surface. Beneath
this skeleton was an Indian
s~pearhead and a stone ak of
antique pattern; also ashes
and pieces of burnt wood and burnt
bone. There were also pieces of rock
weighing from two to 25 pounds,
which were scattered as though they
had been thrown at the animal. The
hind and fore foot were still pre-
served, together with pieces of the
skin. DR.. Koch supposed that the ami
NAL, having become mired in the mud,
was attacked by men, who thus aided
In his destruction.
These facts give point to the ques-
ton put to me by Professor Schmidt
three years ago in st. Petersburg
when l asked him concerning the
cause of the destruction of the NAM
moth. He said: Are you sure that
man did not have a good deal to do
with it, as he had with the destruc-
ton of the buffalo and other ami
mals?" Nevertheless, one cannot but
feel that this destruction has been too
widespread and on too large a scale
to have been much affected by the
agency of a 1t seems more likely
that climatic changes have been the
principal agency in the destruction
and that these changes were not from
increasing cold, but rather increasing
warmth.
The mammoth, as we have seen,
was abundantly supplied with fur,
which shielded him from the effects
of cold. He lived on the vegetation

The other day l ran across my old

conscientious CRATER of the highest
type, His headquarters is the west

ness is anything from specializing in
town lots on the Great Staked plains
to selling wooden toys in Connecticut,
made by hydraulic pressure from nut
megs ground to pulp.
Now and then when Pogue has
made good haul he comes to New
York for a rest. He says the jug of

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.
They Furnish the People With Shelter,
Ctothino and Food,


Clothing and Food.
Some people have said that the rein.
deer of the northern regions Is to the
inhabitants Of those countries what
the horse. COW and sheep together are
to the dwellers in southern lands. and
very probably they are right. What
would the T.aplnnder be were he de
prlved Of his favorite? How could he
travel without his pair Of reindeer
harnessed to his sledge?
The reindeer has large black hoofs.
behind which are false or secondary
hoofs: the result Is that when running
they make a Gathering sound. which
may be heard good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes long journey without seeming
tired. though 1t is only about four and
half feet in height and not very
strong. Its horns are long and slender,
with branched. rounded antlprs, but
they are not much used In combat, like
those of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather Is coolest, aud their color
is lighter Usually II is brown and
white. but in the case OF old animals
the hair Is sometimes quite white.
From the skin Of the reindeer the Lap
landers get not only their clothes. but
also bedding and tents; the milk Is
drunk and made into cheese and the
flesh Is also good to eat. the tongue
