Biggest Mummy in
The World Now in
Petrograd Museum

The biggest mummy i'm the world
is the "Beresovka mammoth in the
Petrograd museum. BY the claim
Of age it il the most venerable Of all
once living inhabitants of this plan
ct that have been preserved in a
virtually complete and life-like
form. Just how old it is we do not
know.
IL was discovered embedded i'm the
tundra (frozen SOLD, Of siberia in
1900. IL may have been alive any
where from 10000 TO $4,000 years
ago. There are no living mammOths
in Siberia now. nor anywhere else

knew the animal well, drew pic
lures Of him on the walls Of their
caverns. or scratched his cumber-
some outlines on specimens of his
own ivory.
II is possible that prehistoric
men hunted the mammoth with
rude weapons of flint or bone as
Cummings. the NimrOd hero of our
fathers boyhOod, hunted the African
elephants with big-bore rifles. Very
likely the men of the stone age
used the same device formerly en-
plOyed by the Negroes. before the
white man came with his guns. that
of digging pits for the huge beasts
and then killing them. when they
could not defend themselves, with

In his heyday the mammoth was
almost a worldwide animal, in
habiting lands in which his modern
relatives, the elephants. are strang
ers at the present day. Scientific
men have made many guesses about
the cause of the disappearance Of
the mammoth. and some have
thought that man hunted the great
creature to the point of extinction
just as, in our time, he has treated
the buffalo Of the plains. and would.
if some of his own interests had not
interviewed, have treated the die
plant
Two things have helped TO save
the elephant. which did not inter-
fere in favor of the mammoth. viz.
the fact that the elephant can be
trained TO work. and that he is an
interesting creature well calculated
10 amuse the curious mind OF civ
ilized man. Menageries and ZOO
logical parks have been saving
influences for the biggest of all
beasts that tread the land But
while our race may be responsible
for the extinction of mammOths i'm
countries like Europe, some other
form of destruction must have
fallen upon them. as Frederick \.
Lucas has pointed out. in such re-
gions as the wastes OF Siberia and
Alaska, where they were once eX-
ceedingly numerous
The BeresoVka mammoth. so
named from the river in northeast

i'm the frozen soil, is in a wonder

of the long black hair with which il
was covered being in good cOndi-
ton, while the flesh is also preserved
as if il had been kept for all those
unnumbered thousands of years in
an ice box.

To stand i'm front OF this disin-
TERED monster. or even TO look at
a photograph of him, is an unfor-
gettable experience. when YOU con-
slider that you are looking at the
actual body of a being which lived
long ages before the date of Adam,
while in its struggling attitude you
see, as if you had been present, its
last desperate battle for life with
the pitiless morass in which il had
got entagled.
There are probably thousands of
mammoths buried. as this one was,
i'm the tundra regions of both Sibe-
ria and Alaska, and since their
tusks are usually found in good
condition they afford a mine of
ivory which may be drawn upon
long after no more elephants tusks
are to be had from Africa. In fact,
mammoth ivory brought from Sibe-
ria has been known in the marke t
fer the last 200 wears. while ele-
plant ivory has been employed for
carving from time immemorial

In the middle ages the art OF
ivory carving was highly developed
while everybody knows the work OF

that among the ancient specimens

GERMANY KNOWS
 THE MACHINE GUN
This Weapon of Warfare Is Ap-
 preciated by the Commanders

French Front, Oct 7.-German ap- chine gun in modern battles was ap- parent at the very beginning of hos tilities in 1914 and the most recent developments in their infantry forma- t1ons give testimony of ver-extending reliance on this weapon for the de- fense of the front line.
 Each German infantry regiment will be provided with no fewer than manipulators are formed into a sepa- rate company, and besides these each company is to be furnished with six light rapid fire guns altogether mak- ing a formidable equipment. This is an enormous increase over the num- Der provided at the beginning of the war, when each regiment of infantry of the active army and it's reserve possessed only six of these guns.
 Besides the regimental machine guns, special companies have been formed with the title of "Maschinen- 2 wehrscharfschuetzu zungabteilungen." These operate separately from the battalions of infantry in attacks. They are composed of groups of six ma- chine guns each. and three of these groups as a rule work together. There are altogether over two hundred of these groups and their number is rapidly increasing. They. came first into action during the battle of the Somme and they were engaged also in the battles around Verdun.
