awake the mystery Of that time and
desire to know how they alone es-

of today as a mastodon might have
dwarfted the gray wolf which now in
habits it's haunts OF old. They look
down from the purer air Of their lofty
tops upon the pigmy forests of today
that may not even reach their lower

USES OF FINGER PRINTS

In the Argentine Republic the
Identification cards of policemen
coachmen, cab drivers, commission
aires and servants have, since 1896,
borne their fnger-prints. Upon all
passports and bank receipts for de-
posits the imprint Of the thumb must
be made at the time of delivery. In
Roumania, since 1908, the thumb
print has been substituted for the
cross made instead of signature by
persons who cannot write. In the
Philippine islands those who cannot
write are not obliged to be identified
by witnesses at savings banks, but
merely have to make their mark with
their thumb The same system has
been used in the banks Of Bengal for
fifty years. In France, 70 put an end
to the fraud of enlistment, desertion
and re-enlistment for the bounty paid
in the Foreign Legion, every mans fin
ger prints are taken and kept on file.

EAGLE BEHEADS RARE BIRD

An American eagle, confined in the
avlary at Columbian Park, Lafayette
Ind. deliberately killed a Mexican blue
quail, one of a pair which had Just
been brought to the PARK, from New
Mexico. The Mexican blue qeail Is
rare fowl and this pair had been cap
tured after q six months search.
There was no suitable place for them
at the park aviary and they were
placed in an empty compartment OF
the big cage in which the eagles and
owls are kept. There is a stout wire
netting between the two compartments
and wooden strips are nailed around
the bottom. One Of the big eagles
hoped close to the wire netting and
found a hole through the wooden strip.
He reached through, seized one of the
quails and pulled its head from its
body.

NARIS.-With the approach Of spring
/ the rage for novelty has descended
on fashionable Paris. On all sides
new forms of the entertainment OF
guests and new ways Of doing things
are being subjected to experiment.
One Of the most curious of the new
fashions is the ants nest craze. No
hostess thinks drawing room com
plete unless It contains a glass case
inside Of which are few pounds of
earth, large number of ants and
their eggs, and a supply Of more or
less suitable food. Guests are pro-
vided with magnifying glasses and
are invited to watch the industrious
insects carrying on their domestic and
civic duties, much as If still in a coun-
try field.

At the village of Utzmach, near st.
Gall, Switzerland, a woman was sold"
recently, with her consent, to another
man by her husband The buyer, an
Italian and friend of the Swiss couple,
thought he was 'legalizing" the sale
by procuring two witnesses and hav-

his Swiss friend that he wanted'a wife

him his own wife at bargain price,

He announces that he will remain here
until the Fran sails. He will then be-
gin a two months lecture tour in Aus

Today Amundsen went for an auto

experiences at the pole but said that

more difficult route than he did.
