FIND VERY ANCIENT BONES
Maryland Cave Contains Extinct AMI
mails Remains-Are Species of
Prehistoric Times.


Cumberland, Md-James w. Gidley,
assistant curator of the National mu-
scum, Washington, has completed his
work of exploring the cave at Corri-
gansville, this county, for the bones of
prehistoric animals. The cave was
opened when the big limestone cut
was made for the Western Maryland
railway extension from Cumberland to
Connellsville.
Thirty-two distinct forms of prehis-
toric animals were found, and when
the bones are cleaned up and looked
into closer the number may run up
to more than forty. There are in all
about seventeen skulls, and ten forms
are represented by good skulls.
In the find, one of the most impor-
tant yet made, are the following: The
mastodon, which lived in about the
mid-pleistocene period, estimated at
100000 years or more ago. An ex-
tinct species of the horse, similar in
some respects to the horse of the pres
ent day, but of which animal there
was living at that time at least four
teen distinct species. The tapir, now
to be found no farther north than Cen
trail and South America.
An extinct peccary, hoglike ami
NAL of more than twice the size now
found in Central America. Bears,
two small ones about the size of the
common black bear, but of extinct spe-
cies, and one large one about the size
of grizzly bear.
The wolverine, an extinct species OF
an animal not now known except in
northern Canada. An extinct species
of large dog-like animal about the
size of a gray wolf, also one or two
smaller species of the same animal
now extinct. Several species of the
rodent family, including woodchuck
porcupine and small field mice fami
lies. Two now extinct species of the
rabbit family, one about the size OF
the jack-rabbit, the other belonging to
the group of little coney rabbits, now
known only on the high peaks of the
Rocky mountains and the high pla
teaus of Asia. Three different forms
of bats now living in this vicinity, and
one form of which is now living in
New Mexico

and should be protected from the

Moisture is the main cause of rot
ten eggs. Nests on the ground or
in wet straw, together with damp eel
lars and moist "fillers' in egg cases,
are mainly responsible for this con-
dition. A fresh egg will absorb
odors as rapidly as fresh milk.
Mustiness or moldy growth in egg
cases or filters will faint the egg and
lower its quality. Eggs should not
be stored in musty cellars, or in
rooms with fruit, vegetables or fish.
The chickens should never be allow
ed to drink filthy water, be fed musty
grain or strong-favored vegetables,
as onions and garlic, nor given access
to decaying meat or substances that
will flavor the product and impair
it's quality.

SUN RAYS HELP FIRE A CAR
Los Angeles Women in Panic az
Flames Burn Roof of Trolley
During Noon Hour.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Dashing through
the congested streets of the business
section, roof afire, and women scream
ing, Glendale line street car of the
Pacific Electric company came to a
stop at Sixth street and Broadway at
noon. Instantly it was vacated, and
the crew, assisted by many of the
women passengers, formed a bucket
line from the large retail store of H.
Jovne & Co., and the fire was devised.
None of the passengers was injured.
Inspectors for the company stated
they believed the hot sun had softened
the roofing material, making it easily
inflammable, and that sparks from the
trolley did the rest.

ties" These are stained, smeared,
muddy, or covered with filth. The
odor of whatever soils the egg will
soon penetrate the shell and flavor
the contents. Market eggs should
never be washed, as they take odors
more rapidly and soon are stale Eggs
may be washed, however, for use at
home. Eggs carried to market in
bran are generally classed as "dir-
ties" The bran adheres to the
shell, and is difficult to remove.
1t is estimated that eight per cent
of the eggs are broken in moving
from producer to consumer. Check
ed, denied or leaking eggs soon sour,
and must be marketed at greatly re-
duced prices. If checked or broken
on the way to market, they should be
taken home for use in the family.
Eggs should be gathered often and
kept in a cool, dry place until the
first opportunity for marketing.
Broody hens should be taken from
the nests at once, and confined by
themselves, unless needed for hatch
ing purposes After the Matching sea-
son is over, all roosters should be
sold or confined, and not allowed to
run with the laying flock during the
summer. Hens will lay more eggs,
and be in better health without the
male birds. Infertile eggs are far SUI
perior for preserving, shipping and
storing.
Sixty-five per cent of the contents
of fresh egg is water; and because
of a porous shell this evaporates rap
idly under most conditions, resulting
in loss of weight and value. AS soon
as the newly-laid egg cools, an air
cell appears, which increases in size
as the contents shrink from evapora-
ton. Shrunken eggs may be detect
ed by Gambling" or by gently shak-
ing when held to the ear. When the
"gurgle" of the contents is distinct,
the egg is questionable. The mem
brane of such eggs is often ruptured
in handling and shipping, resulting in
'frothy" eggs, of poor quality. In
the summer, eggs should receive the
same care and consideration as sweet
milk and cream, and be marketed
| daily, if possible. They should not be
exposed to draughts of warm air,

Heat lightning is ascribed to distant
