batting now for the visitors. The fan
who never hears the decisions is a
minor form of nuisance and is gen.
orally in your neighborhood at the
game. We are all familiar with that
dear old anvil chorus, and regular
members of the hammer brigade are
ever present to raise a voice of pro-
test at every play, to knock every
thing. Many curses on their half-inch
brows.
After looking over the whole crowd
and the ordinary everyday ian has
a little in common with all of these
we begin to think that the only real
fans are found on the outside of the
fence. Generally in the immediate
neighborhood of hole. And at that,
not long ago as we passed the park
we saw a 10-year-old fan leave his
seat at the fence with-"Gee, that
bunch O. lemons can't play beans!"
So they're all a lot alike, after all.

Chicago, Jue 30-The tragedy of
Saturday night wherein three persons,
members of party of five which IN
defiance of South park regulations had
crowded into small rowboat were
drowned, is likely to result in strin-
gent investigation.
Park rules say that a rowboat shall
not be rented to more than four per-
sons. The boat. which was run down
by an electric launch, was rented to
the party without question by park
boathouse employees, it is said.
The victims were:

INCREASE IN PRODUCTION.
Natural Gas From Texas Wells In 1912
Valued at S1,405,077.

The quantity of natural gas produc-
ed from wells in Texas in 1912 was
L470,373,000 cubic feet, valued at ST.
i05,o77, according TO B. Hill of the
United States geological survey. This
is an increase over the production of
1911 of 1866, $4,000 cubic feet in vol
ume and of $500, 132 In value The
greater portion of this gas was sup
piled for domestic purposes, the value
of which aggregated S906.412. or near
ly double the value of the gas con-
sumed In manufacturing and in gen
Grating power, which was $49S,665 In
1912. Some gas is used in Texas for
brick manufacture. For the genera
ton of power 1t Is utilized In operat-
ing gas engines and boilers at water
works, ice plants, cotton gins and
largely in field work.
The total number of gas wells in
Texas at the close of 1912 was eighty
seven, of which twenty-four Were
drilled In 1912. The number of dry
holes drilled was twenty-three and the
number Of gas wells abandoned six.

skeleton Of full sized elephant. 1t
will take, 1t is estimated, at least two
weeks more of digging before the COM
plete skeleton is uncovered. The bones
unearthed are in an excellent state of
preservation despite the fact that 1t is
believed by the scientists that the ami
NAL has been buried many thousands
Of years.
Bones Oddly Mixed.
The bones found were peculiarly
mixed, and that fact is accounted for
by the scientists, who say that the
animal probably died on small hill,
near where the bones have been found,
the carcass later sliding down into the
present swamp, which 1t is thought
was at one time lake. 1t is believed
the tusks will be found much further
underground, as they, being heavier
than the other bones. probably sank
much deeper.
Mrs. Pope and her daughter. who
are the occupants of the farm, have
not as yet decided what disposition
they win make of the skeleton. The
workmen who discovered the historic
relic were engaged In making a trench
by which 1t was hoped to bring more
water from nearby supply to the
barn.

Bee Comb.

Bee comb or beeswax, the material
of which the honey cells In the bee
hive are composed, is wax produced
by a system of chemistry carried on
in the wax pockets" which are locat-
ed in the abdomen of all working bees
1t is a peculiar substance and is said
to be analogous to the fats of higher
animals Originally it was supposed
that this wax was taken up in an al
most pure state from the flowers by
the bees. but experiments carried on
by the leading botanists and chemists
of the world conclusively prove that
the bee is capable of celebrating his
peculiar wax. although confined to
diet purely saccharin in its nature.

OF A MASTODON
Said TO Be Only One Ever Dug

WORKMEA DISCOVERED IT.


as Large as Elephant Unearthed on
Connecticut Farm - Examined by
/ Professor Schubert of Yale Univer-
sity and Other Experts.
What Is believed to be the only
skeleton of mastodon ever unearthed
in the New England or the eastern
states, according to Professor Schu
bert of Yale university, who is In
charge of the Peabody institute in New
Haven, has been found In Pennington.
Conn, on the farm of the late Alfred
A. Pope. 1t is also thought the skele-
ton will prove to be one of the finest
specimens yet discovered anywhere In
the country.
Workmen digging a trench on the
Pope farm a fortnight ago struck
hard substance, which they believed
to be the root of tree about four feet
below the surface of the ground. They
dug II up. and when 1t had been com

Of the late Mr.. Pope, declared it to be

Yale Authorities Notified.
Convinced that bone of a prehls
toric animal had been unearthed, Mr..
Brooks communicated with the au-
thorities of Yale, and Professor Schu-
bert hurried to the place to view the
find. He declared Mt once that the
bone was that of mastodon and sum
moned expert workmen from Peabody
institute. The latter carefully scooped
away the ground around where the
first bone had been found and soon
unearthed what proved to be shout
der blade of the ancient animal.
After working several days the men
succeeded In uncovering the skull and
pelvis, femur and a tibla and part of
the tail as we'll as the fore feet of the
animal, In addition to several ribs and

for the tusks of the animal when resi-
dents of Pennington noting the I'M
usual activity of the persons on the
Pope farm, made public the news that
the mastodon had been found.
The pelvis of the animal measured
six feet ten inches across from the
right to the left side, and it is figured
by the experts who are now In charge
of the work that the complete skeleton

Coffin of Parma were in Emmett the
first of the week, looking for locations
for bee farms. They were so well
pleased with the outlook that they
bought 115 hives at Brownlee so as
to get the range and rented land just
below town which they will stock
with 1875 stands. Now, with a few
more dairy cows, this end of the valley
