ments of scientists as to the great ex-
panse of time since the animal ex-
listed.
40 very accurate estimate can be
made, 1t is true, but that 1t exceeds
100000 years and may approach l.
900 900 wears there is no doubt In the
mind of any person who has made
study of the past life on the earth.
Such estimates are based on the time
required to deposit sedmentary rock,
10 erode valleys and to wear away
rocks. No one could judge the age
of this particular specimen alone, but
it's age Is estimated on the known
occurrence of the animal In company
with other animals in rocks or depos-
its where the age can be roughly es-
timated and its absence in deposits
which are of more recent date.
Had there been game hunters In
the pleistocene period North Ameri-
ca, rather than Africa, must have been
their favorite hunting grounds. Scien-
lists state that during that period
over the same plains which these ele-
phants roamed numerous other long
extinct animals, whose descendants
now live in such distant places as In
dia or Central Africa, were living In
abundance.
"As the storms and waves grad
ually eat away the gravelly bank of
the bay at San Leon the remains OF
camels, extinct horses and perhaps
other prehistoric animals Will be

as for example, a typical Italian. In
addition TO these there are many other
races in smaller numbers, such as the
Old Black Breed in Ireland and the an
cient lberan race in Spain. but these
have had relatively little influence on
the mass of European and American
population. The other three races are
mixed badly all through central and
western Europe and in the United
States.

The Nordic and the Mediterranean

the other hand is noted for its artistic
and musical ability, and its creative
genius generally, while in war and gov

north. and that when this stock died
out, due to an unfavorable climate, the
Roman government collapsed. This

You can find much to contradict this
notion, and you can dismiss it with a
shrug if you wish to. Eut you can
find also by common observation some
facts to support it. For example, is it
without significance that the engineers
of Ocean-gOing boats-men on whom
many lives depend-are almost al

ELEPHANTS ONCE
R0AMED TEXAS
Gigantic Beast and May Have
Lived 100000 Years Ago,
Says Biologist.
SKELETON IS DISCOVERED
Fact That Tusks Are More Than IL
Feet Long, Indicates the Great
Size Of the Pachyderm-
Probably Killed by Tiger.

San Leon, Texas.-Positive proof
that elephants of gigantic size, with
bodies probably covered with long
hair, once roamed the coastal plains
of Texas has been obtained by the
unearthing here Of the skeletons OF
one of these prehistoric animals. The
period of its life dates back anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 years, ac-
cording to II. c. Chandler assis ant
professor Of biology in Rice Institute
Of Houston, who assisted in removing
the remains from the hard bed OF
sand and gravel.
1t will take some time to recon-
struct the bones and form the skele-
ton as 1t originally eXis ed, and until
this Is done measurements cannot be
accurately taken. The fact, however,
that the tuSks are each more than l.
feet long indicates the great size of
the pachyderm.
Scientists Speculation.
The skeleton was discovered by f.
7. Roy Of Houston, who called Mr.
Chandler to his assistance in unearth-
ing it, In speaking of the discovery
Mr.. Chandler said:
Before Noah collected his animals
In the ark and before Adam and Eve
ate the disastrous apple In the Garden
of Eden this beast, perhaps attacked
by a murderous saber toohed tiger,
huge beast which also roamed
through North America at that time,
laid his great carcass down on the
sands of the beach and died. The
seabirds OF that ancient time, no
doubt, dined sumptuously for many
weeks OH his great body, and what
was left by them was picked by the
microscopic animals of the bay.
"The waves of the ancient bay rip
pied over the bones of the fallen mon
arch, carrying sand and gravel, until
finally the entire skeleton was buried
deep under a mass of debris.
Centuries passed and the land
slowly raised to Its present level,
some ten feet above the water level.
Year by year the waves Tapped con-
tinuously against the bank, eating 1t
away, until finally a tooth was
brought to view, probably some 5Oo,-
900 years after 1t had been dropped
from the jaws of the great beast.

Rain and Prospects of

CHICAGO, May fla. P)-
Steep declines in wheat yesterday re-
suited from prospective liberal re-
ceipts here and from welcome rains
in sections where there has been COM
plant of drought. The market closed
heavy, 1-2 to 13 IA net lower. with
May Si.6S and July S1.27 3-4 to $1.2S.
Corn lost l to l S-S oats to SIS
and provisions % to As.
With indications that wheat was be-
ing shipped here freely from south
western and northwestern market
icenters and that the supply here was
likely TO be ample to all deliveries on
outstanding contracts. demand from
shorts in that month almost halted
the price dropped swiftly.
July kept within fairly moderate
limits as compared with the big price
setback in May. Despite rains and
cooler weather the crop outlook con-
tinued uncertain and buying support
for July was rather aggressive al
times.
Corn and oats declined with wheat
although exporters took 100000 bush
els of corn and charters of corn fol-
Buffalo were of unusual magnitude.
Provisions were depressed by the
downward slide of grain and of hogs
as well.
