Laws Make Big Volume.

1t is estimated that the law supple
ments containing the laws of the pres
emf Legislature will make about 272
pages of the supplement size which are
circulated by the weekly newspapers
of the state. Two years ago these sup
plements made POS pages. The In.
crease is therefore over 80 per cent.
In 1915 there were Gas chapters pub
lished There will be about 653 acts
this session, but the laws Of 1917 are
much larger and occupy 80 per cent
more space than those Of two years
ago Some Of the whoppers are;
Fish and game act, about 103 bill
size pages; drainage act 103 pages !;
woFkmen's compensation, 45 pages re-

y H-~0@ Rhinoceros.
In an account of the fossils of giant
animals Of Argentina to be seen in the
Museum of La Plata the Rev. ]. A.
Zahm, author of Through South Amer
ica's Southland" calls special attention
to the mylodon, a ground sloth as
large as a rhinoceros and related to
the megatherium that fourished thou
sands of years ago.
The mylodon may have lived within
comparatively recent times. Only a
few years ago Nordenskjold discover
ed 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
the mylOdon was still browsing In the
forests of Patagonia as late as fifty
years ago. Indeed, there are natural
lists who contend that it is still living
in some Of the caves Of southern Chile.
So strong was the conviction that as
late as 1902 an expedition started from
England the chief object Of which was
to search for a 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.
