DIG UP ELEPHANTS BONES
Must Have Been Twenty Feet High
Animals Tusks Are Eighteen
Feet Long.

Los Angels. Cal.-Further details of
the greatest discovery of prehistoric
animal remains made in Southern Cal
ifornia since the finding of the first
saber-tooth tiger skeleton have been
made public by F. S. Daggett, director
of the County Historical museum in
Exposition park. The bones of gi-
gantic imperial elephant, the largest
of the species in past or present
times, were discovered "a feet below
the surface at Athens-on-the-Hill, and
are being unearthed by a crew of mi
ners engaged by the county museum.
Some idea of the gigantic proper
tons of this enormous beast may be
gained by the fact that the tusks
which are being uncovered are Is feet
long and more than ten inches in dia-
meter at their greatest thickness. One
seven-foot section of a tusk already
raised to the surface weighs nearly
400 pounds. The animal alive must
have stood more than twenty feet in
height, and have weighed as much as
half dozen modern elephants.
The longest tusky known to science
is now in museum in the City of
Mexico. It is seven inches in diameter,
or a third smaller than the massive
tusks now being taken out by the
county museum.

FARM !
POULTRY
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Modern Wire Fencing, Which Has
Neat Appearances, Will Keep All
. Fowls Out Of the Gardens.

The old method of free 1ange need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or
in and about the farm buildings.
Nothing is more aggravat1ng or dis
gushing than to have the nice veget-
ables or beautiful flowers scratched
up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the
barn floor and the farm machines
fouled with poultry droppings. Sep
arate the poultry also from the other
live stock of the farm.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
inclosed by modern poultry wire fenc-
ing. The latter requires ordinarily
but few posts, is easily put up and
has very neat appearance when in
position.
Another way Of separating the
fowls from the center of farm opera
tons is to place the henhouses at a
considerable distance from the farm
stead. in a pasture where the fowls
will have absolute range. The latter
plan may entail some extra travel by
the poultryman and there is the risk
in some localities of depredations by
foxes, hawks or other wild animals
or by thieves. The young, strong
farmer boy may find advantage in
the second or so-called "colony plan"
while the housewife will probably
prefer the fenced inclosure near the
farmhouse.
Thirdly, the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by a little extra effort. he
could gain select private trade
which would pay far better. His
pure-bred stock of one breed of fowls
in their well-kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver.
tisement for his egg products, and
uniform clean appearance of the eggs
in their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making Sales
Then, too, in disposing Of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.

DAYLIGHT at All Hours.

DR.. Herbert e. Ives of London has
invented daylight, he says. Scientific
men have worked for years trying to
accomplish this task. Doctor Ives has
been at work for at least Dozen and
he asserts he has finally produced a
light which is in every way equal to
sunshine. The scientist has designed
a powerful incandescent lamp with a
special mantle, which is so placed in
a cabinet he has designed that its
rays are Immediately beneath reAec-
tor. This is made of metal, and the
light is forced downward through a
series of delicately colored. screens,
so arranged that the average rays
which are not found in the north light
are eliminated, and the effect, it is
said, is that of perfect harmony OF
light similar in every way to the rays
of the sun.
