A score of 298 out of a possible 325

to understand the reports which have

Estimating that the same number of
teams shot this year al In 1913, when
nearly so teams competed, Hawaii
would be In forty-sixth place n she

Militia officers here believe there is
some error, and that7it will be found
that the team from the, islands has
made better showing as a team than
appears from reports SO far received.
In 1913 the Hawaiian team took
twenty-sixth place with so teams to
compete against, and with q team

longest he ever saw measured u feet
9 inches. He measured 20 or so
which ran from 9 feet 6 inches 10 10
feet 6 inches. and a few from IL to
, feet. The most remarkable thing
about these tusks perhaps. is their
variety and beauty of color. a few
are a pure. milky white, but these
have come from many thousand years
of cold storage, hacked from a carcass
only recently washed out in a spring
freshet.'
Many tusks resemble. in color,
stained mahogany, polished near the
points. There are blends OF ma
hogany and white and mahogany and
cream. There are bright blue tusks
OF steel blue-from soil rich in phos-
plate of iron-tusks of walnut and
russell and brick red" Mr. Digby even
ayers that sometimes combinations OF
tints are SuperpOsed until the surface
of a tusk shows the blending of soft.
fading cOlOrs representing the entire
spectrum.
That the substance of these tusks
should be perfectly preserved. even
though the color is often changed,
does not appear in some cases, the
flesh of the animals is as fresh as
meat from a cold storage vault, al
though their bodies have probably
lain there from a time 10 times as
long ago as that when the pyramids

South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-04-09


There was "a time. anywhere from
so 600 10 100000 years ago, when
great numbers of mammOths ranged
along the northern borders of Asia
and America. At the same time for
ests of pine abounded in those latl-
tudes. and these afforded the princi-
pal nOurishment of the huge beasts.
Owing 10 climatic changes. the pines
disappeared. and this led 10 the eX-
tinction Of the mammOths The NAM
moth was "A primitive form of ele-
plant.
He was not. on the average. much,
IL any larger than the elephants OF
today but he was provided with q

the sake of the pines Inside he wore

shaggy masses from his TANKS. His
tusks Of ivory were, upon the whole.
longer than those OF existing ele-
plants. and more curved. like pair
OF huge fixed Calipers, with which he
could grasp and swing within his

OF the pines.
The mammoth wes known 20 some
OF the earliest races OF nan IN pre-
historic times We are sure of this
because pictures OF m9mmoths. en-
graved on horn. ivory and stone, have
been found among the relics OF the
stone axe in Europe These pictures
show that not only was the artistic
instinct developed very early in the
history Of man. but that even in that
extremely remote time the artists m
derstood their business astonishingly
well. and had an admirable technical
skill
IL was not until the discovery OF the
frozen bodies of mammcths, COM
pletely preserved IN northern siberia,
that We were in a position TO judge
the accuracy OF the representations OF
those gigantic animals that the early
artists with their rude tools had
made. and then IL was found that they
