saek FOSSIL Treaaures.

Graves unmolested for hundreds Of
thousands of years, according to
scientists, were Jared to daylight at
Torrance, near Los Angeles, when a
blast of 100 pounds of dynamite
pushed into the air fossils of antedilu-
Wan beasts. 1t was a treasure blast,
especially set for n group of California
scientists who visited the lime pits
which have given forth molars Of the
two-toed horse, the saber-toothed ii
ger, the giant sloth and other peculiar
inhabitants Of the jungles which ex-
listed hereabouts a half a million years
or more before Los Angeles was
thought Of.
A whole mass of interesting discov-
cries was made in the debris of the
explosion. Something of the size of
these prehistoric monsters may be
cleaned from the fact that one tooth
measures about 10 inches across the
top and is from IS to "a inches long.

THINGS ARE CHEAP IN HAITI
Although a Solid Mahogany Dinner
Table Costs Only So Island
Has Disadvantages.

In "Haiti" ]. Dryden Kuser tells that
on his visit to that supposedly unin-
viting island he purchased a solid ma.
hOgany dinner table for SO, (which is
the customary price, says the De.
troit News. Alligator pears sell in
Port-au-Prince at the rate Of five for
2 cents.
The picture has its reverse side.
The teacher even of higher or "col-
lege' grade receives only Sc a month
and the average length of his life aft
er taking up the teaching profession
IS II years. He teaches eight hours
every day. The course of study is by
no means narrow. 1t includes the SUBJ
jects usually taught in the United
States, with a few additional courses
thrown in for the special benefit of
the backward. The majority of Haiti
ans excel in ~penmanship and free
hand drawing.
One of Mr.. Kuser's chapters Is on
voodooism. The creed is of African
origin and was introduced into the
island when the slaves were brought
over ny Ine spanish anu TiChNh. van
doux, the deity, is represented by a
venomless serpent. The rites include
all manner of sacrifices and self-in-
flicted punishment. To the rhythm of
voodoo tom-toms, the worshipers
dance themselves into excited pas
sions until all but the strongest fall
PROSTATE. During the dance the men
eat pieces of glass and, dancing on
redhot Goals, place burning pieces Of
charcoal in their mouths. Later in
the ceremony liquor is passed around.
The priests WELD an in~describable, be-
cause secret, influence over the par
Elephants, so that it is merely neces-
a for them to beat the tom-toms a
few times and a whole brigade will
rush out from nowhere armed to the
teeth.

Boston Pipe Arch BRIDGE Unique.

An engineering curiosity, said to be
unique in this country and to have
only one parallel in Europe, is the
pipe-arch bridge over the Sudbury riv-
err, which carries Boston's water sup
ply. The span is so feet, and the
steel pipe, III feet in diameter, rises
5h feet above the horizontal at the
center. The pressure on the abut-
ments when the pipe is filed with wa
ter is very great and is resisted by a
mass OF concrete 40 feet thick behind
each abutment. Across the curved
top runs a hand-railed foot bridge.
The steel of the pipe in the arched
portion is 5s Of an inch in thickness.

Before Billy could reply, Mr.. Tar

"M'lady, Inspector Panke-"
Mr.. T~arbeaux's gaze fell on the en-
eralds. He was very human for a
butler, and it took him a fraction of
a second to recover himself.

to see your ladyship at once"
"Show him in here" said Lady Fry
thea grimly.
Billy did not o an eyelid. 1t
seemed to him that Mr.. Lambe's SOL
emn eyes were watching him rather
intently. Inspector Panke appeared.
1t was a great day in the Lambe en-
eralds' history. The Inspector was
the fifth person in whom they caused
intense emotion.
"Well, have you caught the thieves?''
inquired Lady Erythea, acidly.
"No-no, my lady" stammered In
spector Panke, gazing at the necklace.
perhaps you had better enlist the
services of Mr.. Spencer" said her
ladyship, with a wave of her hand
toward Billy. "This young man has
already found the emeralds and re-
stored them to me-"
"Then," said Panke, with a search

full account, at once, of how you came

All four seated themselves Lady Fry
thea, with an avid determination to
keep abreast of affairs, held her ear
trumpet close to Billy and the police
man.
Billy repeated his tale with fuller
detail this time, and described, not
without a twinge Of embarrassment,
his downfall at the hands of Calamity
Kate. Lady Erythea's lips frightened
grimly, the description did not sur
prise her. The inspector had his book
before him and made careful notes.
At the conclusion he regarded Billy
pensively, and with a touch of envy.
tits a pity you didn't hang on to
them, when you'd got them in hand"
said Panke. But, of course, we know
what Calamity Kate is"
"Who?' echoed Billy.
Panke described briefly the popular
names of the two thieves, and what
little was known about them.
"And now, Mr.. Spencer, l have some
questions to put to you-for the in
formation of the police. This hap
pened between one and two O'Clock.
1t is now seven. What became of you
in the meantime?"
Billy turned to the light and al
lowed Panke to inspect the wound on
the side of his head, only partially
concealed by his hair.

guess you'd be lyin on the eraes yo--

"a severe cut" said the Inspector,
impressed.
and you lay unconscious there till
daybreak?" exclaimed Lady Erythea,
with intense sympathy.
1T might have been a week, for all
1 knew when l woke up. When I'd
got my sense back, an made up my
mind what to do" said Billy calmly,
81 came along here"
Didn't it occur to you," said Panke,
shat the right thing to do was to go
to the police?"
mo. 1t occurred to me the first
thing to do was to get the stuff
straight back to its owner"
"And perfectly right, tool" said
Lady Erythea sharply.
"How did you know" persisted
Panke, that the necklace belonged
here?"
Billy turned over the necklace and
pointed to the little ~gold-enamel pend

the thieves were coming from this di-
rection when 1 struck them"
"Mr. Spencer, not being a police
man, uses his COMMON sense" inter-
posed Lady Erythea with extreme
aridity. "Are you suggesting that he
stole emeralds worth a fortune, for
the pleasure of returning them with
thanks-besides wounding himself on
the head?"
