-The moldiers passed on and the review began, but out on the hills the Indian sentinels silil stond and between the marching w hites and the village were the long lines of Lraves st sus plofous and still ready to give thelr lives for the wamon and children in the heart of the valley. What a review was that en the snow-coverad South Dakota plains that January morning 15 years ago! Gen. Miles on his great bhlack horse watched the 5000 soldiers pass, soldiers that had stood the burden of battle and the hardships of a winter's campalgn and had checked one of the greatest Indian uprisings of history. : - The First fofantry -led by Col Shalter, who afterward was in conunmand In front of Santlago, was there that ‘day. Guy V. Henry, pow Iving in peace. fual Arlingion cemetery, rode at the head of his hlack troopers, the “buffalo soldiers” of the Sloux, Capt Allen W. Capron was there 'with the battery that afterward opened the battle at Santingo! The Seventh cavgdry was there, two of lis troops, B and K, having barely enough rmen left in the ranks to form a platoon. : These two troops had borue the hrunt of the fighting at Wounded Knee a month before shen 80 men of the Seventh fell killed or wounded before the bullets of the Sioux. When the liwo troops with their attenuated ranks rode by, the reviewing general removed his cap, an honor otherwise pald only to the colors of his country. The column filed past, broke into regiments, then into troops and companies, and the word of dismissal was given. The Indian sentinels on the ridges, signaled the camp in the valley. In another minute there was a stampede, but it was only that of the thousands of Sioux ponies turned loose and eager !o get back to their breakfast of bunch grass on the prairies. ‘ Two Strike, the Sioux, watched the review that day. Old Two Strike was one or the warriors who went out with a following of braves on the warpath the month previous. Two Strike wore no ghost shirt. He was above such superstition, even though he took no pains to urge his comrades to follow his shirtless example. - Two Strike was glad of the craze that had brought war, for he hated the whites harder than he hated anytbing on earth except the Pawnees, the hereditary enemy of his people. Two Strike -‘knew in his sovl that the buffalo were not coming back as the medicine men had declared, and that ‘no Messiah was to be raised to lead his people against the pale faces to wipe them from off the face of the continent. What he did know was that he was to have one more chance to strike at the encroachers on the lands of his people be-

gathered, obviously intent upon the same object. A woman who was just behind the group observed the cause of this little gathering, as she supposed, and turning to her companion: “How gratifying!" she said.. “See, there is Mark Twain waiting for a bus; and so many have stopped to look at him. He has his back to them and doesn’t know a thing about it. Quite a tribute, isn’t it?” -

But by this time the women were abreast of the group. The real object of interest abviously was something entirely different. Standing back of Mark Twain was a woman, and beside her a French poodle sitting upright, his mistress’ purse held tightly in his mouth. Not one of the group had recognized the distinguished author nor had a moment for him in the absorption of watching the trick dog.—New York Herald. ;

Tbe two leaders met and fought. They dis mounted, turned their ponies loose and grappled. The story-teller lingered not on the details of the fight.

L ; _ The Pacific coast of the Unlted States fs rich In coniferous troes lke cadars, seguoias and redwoods, hul is consplcuousiy incking In most of the trees familiar on the Atlantic slope. JFor example there are not haif as many maples, or ashes or poplars, or walnuts, or birches or oaks on the Pacific slope, and they sre of suck inferfor quailty that it s sald “a pas sable wagon wheel can not be made of California wood, nor a really good one In Oregon.” The Atlantic slope has four times as many species of nonconiferous trees as the Pacifie slupe, but only a littie more than hall as many conlferous species, The first step In the solution of this problem is found in the relation of the land continents in the northern hemisphere to eachother Whereas, the gouthern ends of the continents profect far out into deep seas so that they are widely separated from each other ‘at the north they approsched each atheér and are separated by shallow seas. The water in Hehring sirait is only 150 feet deep, and that in the sea only a few hundred {eet deep, so that a slight elevation of the bottom of the ocean there would Soin Asia to Amer fea, and permiit the migration of plants and animals from one continent o an other. That these continents have been recently juined by such a change in land' level {8 proved by the fact that bones of the mamwmoth hive bheen found on both sides of Hehring strait, and even on the Pribyloff islands, far out in Bebring sea. A slmilar belt of shoal water extends from Greenland by way of lceland to Norway. It s therefore easy 1o suppose a conting oug land conneéction clear around the north pole enabling plants and ané mals to migrate freely. On the oth er hand, the general resemblance of species both of plantz and animals in the landsz surrounding the north pole 18 proof that there has been such op portunity for migration. Whereas, there iz thizx great sinilarity in spe. cler In the northern bemizphere, there iz a total dissimilarity between the gpecies occupying the southern extremities of the continests in the southern bemisphere. : But with the coming on of the glaelal period this happy family of specles around the porth pole was rude ly disturbed by the new conditions. The lowering of temperature and the slow accumulation of glacial fce made ft impossible for trees of a temperate climate to maintain their existence on those inhospitable shores. If they were to exist any longer they must emigrate to milder climes. But how shall a tree which is fixed in the soil remove to better its fortune? Of course, a single tree iz helpless in such a situation. Bul, as Prof. Gray wittily says, when a tree is driven to an extremity it can “take to the woods.” and the forest can begin a majestic movement toward Dbetter climes. S N As the conditions ravoring the forest became severe along its northern belt they would become favorable over a corresponding belt stretching to the south. Over this belt the seeds would be gradually scattered by various agencies. Some seeds would be blown by the wind, some carried by streams of water, some by birds and as formerly such stray seeds had fafled to find favorable conditions in these new fields, now they would be the favored cnes, and thus the species which they represented would slowly spread southward until the and the extreme limit of favorable

Thus it would result that the same species would be driven down to corresponding latitudes on both sides of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and we should have what now appears—namely, the same species of plants in

During that pe riod a large number of arciic specles were crowded down into ceptral Eo rope and into the middie and norb ern states of the Atlantic foast and Mississipp! valley. (o tompany with man's remalos there are found hose of the grizziv bear, the Irlah =ik, the reindesr the musk ox and the arctie fox, while the fbex and the chamios, which now cecupy the bigh mountain crups, descendad to the valleys Sey. eral of these porthern specles now extinct waére also present in thess teus porate regiona .

The destrutcion of so many wideiv spread species of animals occupying North America just before the glacial period §5 one of the piost startling revelations of geology, . - Insects also, as well as plants and the iarger anlmals, were compelied to reckon with the glacial perfod. Among the most interesting llustrations of this cccurs ifn the White mountains, where various Alpine species of butterflies are found near the summit. In ascending Mount Washingion one suddenly encounters near the top whole swarms of bulterfiies (Oenels Semidea); so that, as Prol. Samuel Scudder has sald, #oo far as insect species are concerned, “in ascending Mount Washington we pass, as t were, from New Hampshire to northern Labrador and the southern extremity of Greenland.” Similar spe cles occur also on the summit of the Rocky mountains. The story is the same. Dispersed/far and wide during the glacial period, these insects have at last been compelled to take refuge on the summits of the high mountains, where alone glacial conditions perpetually prevail . ‘ e ———————— Newest Ocean Linera. ~ The White Star liners now under way will not be quite so large as was commonly supposed, although they will yet be considerably larger than the Mauretania and Lusitania. They will measure 860 feet between perpendiculars and S9O feet over all. The beam will be 92 feet and they will have a molded depth of 64 feet, which is four feet more than the depth of the Mauretania. A notable feature of the construction of these boats will be the power equipment, which will consist of two engines of 15,000 horse power driving the wing propellers and a 10,
