BuRRoWED BY PRAIRIE DOG
~DeviPs Cors<screws" Found in West
ern Mountains and Plains Are No
Longer Mystery.

OF the many fossils which have
come out of the mountains and plains
of the West, few have excited wider
interest than the devils corkscrews,"
found, in rocks of the Miocene period,
In northwestern Nebraska. They are
usually white, and stand out clearly
against the buff background Of the
rock which incloses them, often attain
ing a length of IS feet, with many
twists and turns, ending at times in
a large bulb, with occasional side pas
sageS.
When first discovered it was thought
that these gigantic +'corkscrews'' were
huge -petrfaed vines of roots of some
strange plant. Study of the cork
screws" however. failed to reveal any
traces of plant structure Later the
skeleton of animal like the badger
was found in a large bulb near the
end of the 'corkScrew," and bones of
small camel and small deer were
found in others. After that 1t was
discovered that many of them con-
tanned bones of small burrowing
animal about the size of the western
prairie dog Excavation of actual re-
cent prairie-Gog burrows, after filling
them with thin plaster of paris,
showed an interesting fact: the bur
rows of the prairie dog and the pre-
historic "corEscrews'' were closely sim
far The mystery is considered
solved.

NEVER GAVE UP a PROSPECT

Idea of Losing Sight of

Some years ago went into store
to inquire the price of something, an
expensive thing this was, that I wanted

They were just as nice to me as they
would have been if had come In

Then for the time being / forgot all
about 1T, but they didn't. About
year after my visit to the store the
salesman i had seen there came in
to see ne. He was very agreeable
gentleman and in no way insistent !;
he had just looked in on the chance
that now I was ready to buy; but my
bank account hadn't looked up to any
great extent and I was not ready, as
I told him; but I added that when
I was ready I would come in, and
I would come to him.
That I thought, ended 1T as far as
hearing from them was concerned but
not so. A year later-I had another
call from the salesman, my friend, If
he will now permit me so to call him,
on the same errand; pleasant call
and a pleasant little talk, but with
the same result as before; and now.
a year to a day after that second call
he has been in to see me again. We

AntiduitY of Peat.

The use of peat as a source of heat
goes back beyond the historical period
in the ancient history of the early
tribes in northern Germany. Pliny, the
Roman naturalist, gives US possibly
the first indication of the use of peat
He reports that the Teutons on the
border of the north sea dried and
burned mud. what we now would call
peat. In ireland, Great Britain, Rus
STA, Scandinavia, Germany, Holland
and parts of France peat has been
used as fuel since time immeInorial.
The peat was cut from the bog very
much in the same manner as 1t is
still being done in many parts of Eu
rope, where it is cut in brick shapes
allowed to dry in the wind and sun.

But this is not all The wretched pris-

shut up separately in heavy, iron
clamped chests, in shape resembling

side of each, just big enough for the
