 Motion of attorneys for the defense to quash the indictment in this case was denied, and a demurrer to the in dictment overruled.
 This morning argument for change of venue was heard, attorneys for de- fense exhibiting affidavits to the cf- feet that great amount of prejudice prevailed against the accused in Val deg and Seward, and requesting that the case be heard outside this divi- sion, although they would consent 70 the case being tried at Anchorage. The district attorney opposed the transfer of the case outside the dis trict on the ground of the great ex- pense attached and suggested that the trial be had at the term of court to be held next month at Cordova.

Nickaiack Cave.

Nickaiack was once the name of an important Cherokee town on the bank of the Tennessee river. The Chero- kees, who had aided the British in the Revolutionary war and had been well paid for their assistance. clustered their wigwams at this point about l7SO-S2. and the village was known as one of the "Chickamauga towns. The meaning of the name is now lost, though it was probably of Cherokee origin. as it occurs in the annals of the tribe as mans name. This name is also given to d creek and to a very remarkable cave. the latter being situ- ated very near that point of the south erm boundary of Tennessee where 1t i> imtersected by the line separating the states of Alabama and Georgia. Nick ajack cave. though but little known. is one of the wonderful caves of the world being of even more imposing proportions than the Mammoth cave If Kentucky.-ArgOnau

Monster SIoths That Were as Large as
 Rhinoesros.
 In an account of the fossils of giant animals of Argentina to be seen in the Museum of La Plata the Rev. J. A. Zahm. author of Through South Amer lca's Southland" calls special attention to the mylOdon. a ground sloth as large as rhinoceros and related to the megatherium that fourished thou. sands of years ago.
 The mylOdOn may have lived within comparatively recent times. Only q few years ago NOrdenskjold discover el in a cave in southwestern Patago- mia a large piece of well preserved skin covered with greenish brown hair and small bony knobs that was recog- nized as the skin of the mylodOn.
 There Is good reason to believe that .ha mylOdon was still browsing in tn" forests of Patagonia as late as fifty years ago. Indeed. there are natural iSts who contend that 1t is still living in some of the caves of southern Chile.
 So strong was the conviction that as late us 19O2 all expedition started from England the chief object of which was 60 search for living mylOdon, and. although it failed to find one, there are men of science who continue to believe that living mylodon will yet be found somewhere in the forest depths of southern Chile or Argentina.

SETTLING A RATHER.
Prairie Doss Did the Job We'll by Bury
 ina Him Alive.


 It would not seem very easy thing to bury a snake alive. but that is what an Oklahoma man saw some prairie dogs do.
 He was resting under a tree when he noticed a cOmmOtiOn among some prairie dogs near him. They would run up to n certain spot. peep at something and then scamper back. Looking more closely, he saw fifteen to twenty dogs about a rattlesnake. which presently went iuto one of the dogs holes.
 No sooner had it disappeared than the little fellows began to push in dirt. evidently to fill up the hole. By the time they had pretty well covered the entrance the snake stuck his head up through the dirt and every dog scam pered off to safe distance. all tn" lime barking.
 The snake crawled to another hole about rod distant and went in. Then forward came the dogs again. and all went to work to push up earth to the hole. This time they succeeded and completely covered the entrance. This done. they proceeded to beat the earth down. employing their noses for this purpose. When they had rendered the rarrtr quite hard they went away. The observer examined their work and was surprised to find that they had packed the earth in solid with their noses and hod sealed the snake inSide.-LOs An geles Times.

How Flying Fish Ely.

The popular notion that flying fish beat their wings" is a mistake. It al,- pears that the wings are not true or gans of flight. but rather play the part of Il parachute or an aerOplane. The whole motive power is supplied by the tail. which acts as a propeller, and the vibration or quivering of the wings in the air currents and their occasional shift of inclination are not phenomena connected with the propulsion of the fish in it's aerial flight.
