try, has been recommended for a tour
of duty at the army school of the line

mendation be approved Lieut. Prese-
ton will leave for his new post on the

Captain Jesse M. Cullison, I'd in
fantry, who was also recommended by
the regimental commander for the
same detached duty has not heard as
yet of the departments action in his
case. The decision, 1t Is understood,
will rest on whether, in the opinion of
medical officers. Captain Cullison will
be physically able to undertake the
course at the school. Captain Guilt

Grafton last March, and while he has
recovered and Is "for duty" it may
be decided that the demand to be
made on him, particularly in horse

MAMMOTH IS FOUND In ICE
Finest Specimen of Its Kind That Was
Ever Discovered Now in Paris
Museum.

Paris.-Count Stenboch Fermor of
the Island of Great Lyakersky, New
Siberia, has presented to the natural
history museum in Paris what is
considered to be the finest specimen
of mammoth yet found.
The gift is especially interesting be-
cause the animal had not finished di.
gesting his last meal at the moment
of his death, countless centuries ago.
Thus the savants are for the first time
able to study accurately the nature of
the fora of the far distant epoch; they
have simply to examine the contents
of the mammoth's stomach He was
found in an absolutely complete condi-
ton in strata of ice. The skin, which
Is without scratch, is covered with
reddish hair. thick and soft to the
touch as that of a lap dog. The work
of digging out the monster from his
primeval cold storage and bringing
him to Paris was one OF extreme diff
Guilty. The body was cut carefully In
to pieces, each one labeled, and then
carried 1900 miles to a railway line
on dog sledges.
The museum has come into posses.

the west coast OF Madagascar, by the
explorer Perrier de la Battle. Some
idea of the dimensions OF this monster
may be gained from the fact that 6
strong man can barely lift one section
of the vertebrae. Although only par
TALLY disinterred, the natural histor,
experts of the museum estimate from
measurements of the parts they al
ready have that this dinosaurian con
siderably exceeds in size the diplodo

QUESTION is the skeleton of one of til,
fabulous birds known to palaeontolo
