SCIENTISTS FIND
bones Of BEASTS
MILLIONS IN Age
Cavern in Maryland Fur
nishes Rarest Deposit of
Recent Years.
(Bv Victor ELLIOTT

Washington, June 2S.--Scientific
Washington has been slrred TO it's
inmost dapths.
Almost at it's door has been dis
covered one OF the rarcst deposit OF
prehistoric rin AIMS uneartGed In
recent years.
Some three years ago workmen on
a cut OF the western Maryland rail
road near Cumberland, Md, laid bare
thls ancient accumulation Of relics.
The deposit lies about 125 feet
from the surface OF the ridge through
which the cut was being eNcav3ted.
The ridge of Inns stone, is Of Is mil
lions of year formation according to
biologists.
But it is not This fact that particul-
arly interests scientific men here.
From the top of the ridge is kind
OF tunnel, ending in a cave whicA
is now on a level with the roadbed.
In this cavern, which is calculated
to he at least one million OF years
cid, was found the wonderful deposit
of bones of prehistoric animals.
The most plausible explanation or
the accumulation in one place OF so
many remains is that the animals
were the victims OF other brutes.
Little dreaming that they were
shoveiling the fossils OF animals that
existed on the earth cycles ago, the
workmen in baliasting the ties had
injured many OF the valuable prehls-
toric bones.
Cat Big as Jaguar.
Probably the most lnteres,l Ing and
instructive find was made by James
w. Gidley, assistant curator OF
paleontology in the National. Museum
here, who was sent to make an in
vestigation OF the collection.
Mr.. Gidley organized an expedition
to make excavations and on his re-
turn trip to Washington brought
piece of the broken jawbone OF a.
prehistoric, cat, whose species is now
extinct, and which is believed to have
existed about one hundred and fifty
thousand years ago.
This find is considered as rare
bit of good luck. The fleeting ages
had filled the cavern and the tunnel
with soil and it was only after
thorough inspection that the agent OF
the National Iuseum was able to I'M
earth the iawbone of the "rhotnas."
From this precious relic scientists
are now busy constructing cat
which in it's day was as large as the
present day jaguar.
1t is said on competent authority
that the prehistoric est closely re-
sembled mountain lion, though In
MANY respects similar to the tiger. II
stood about two feet high and with
its powerful teeth must have been as
formidable as the tiger OF today.

made it clear also that the United

have made it clear that Germany

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

balance to care for over hundred III
valid children. IT,
This might be done with profit by
school children in every city in America.
1t would be the means OF saving many
dollars worth of objects that other"iSe
would be wasted. But the great Denehs
would come in the training 1t woula give
the pupils in the ways of thrift. I hey
would be given a demonstration OF 'ne
value of saving, and would soon learn to
make the application personal; r.
We must always consider that thrift is
cumulative and progressive in its develop
ment. The saving of little today makes
Il easier to save more tomorrow and so
on. But / hope no one will gain the
idea that thrift means saving only IN the
smaller sense. Thrift is putting to the
best possible advantage every penny;
every moment of time and every DIT OF
moral strength we have.
If we were to trace the history OF many
of the beautiful fabrics we see displayed
in shop windows we would discover that
waste product imported from tar-of
India plays an important part III the
manufacture. I have in mind jute waste,
the very same material that is used III
making gunny sacks.
Hundreds of tons of jute is manufac'
tured every year and the waste from the
fbrous substance is enormous. 1 ne SKIN o.
this waste is so tough that it formerly coulG
not be separated from the fibre and nae
to be discarded as hopeless rubbish:
Later, however, process was discovered
whereby the skin was softened to such
an extent as to admit of a carding pro-
cess. This by-product later made TOR.
tune for dealers in it. The waste product
thus produced is eagerly bought by SPIN
ners who have found it an excellent
mixture in making every kind OF cloti
;ncludinp silk.
