“JUST BURROWS OF ANIMALS

Mystery of What Was Known as the " “DevilPs Corkscrew” Has Been ‘ (' Considered Solved, ! Of the many fossils which have come out of the mountains and plains of the West, few have excited wider interest than the “devil's corkscrew,” found in rocks of the Miocene period, in northwestern Nebraska. They are usually white, and stand out clearly against the bluff background of the ‘rock which incloses them, often attaining a length of 15 feet, with many twists and turns, ending at times in a large bulb, with occasional side passages. When, first discovered it was thought that these gigantic “corkscrews” were huge petrified vines or roots of some strange plant. Study of the “corkscrews,” however, falled to reveal any traces of plant structure. Later the skeleton of an animal like “the badger was found in a large bulb near the end of the “corkscrew,” and .bones of a small camel and small deer - were found in others, After that it ‘was discovered that many of thexq contained bones of a small burrowing animal about the size of the western prairie dog. Excavation of actual recent prairie dog burrows, after filling them with thin plaster of - paris, showed an Interesting fact; the butrows of the prairle dog and the pre‘historle “corkscrews” were closely similar. The mystery 1s considered solved. : :

OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA

What Became of Fine Liner Presi dent Which Disappeared in e the Year 18417% .

~Among the modern sea mysteries none is more baffling than the vanishing of the liner- President im 1841, The vessel was the latest word in luxurious ocean:travel, having but lately been launched. And that day in March when she sailed from New York for Liverpool every vessel in the North river paid tribute to her size and superiority.© She was 268 feet long and of 2,360 tons. . - . Early in April ‘reports began to filter into America from Liverpool that the President had not arrived, and as the days sped on far into the summer the agony of suspense on both sides the ocean grew. On her passenger list had been the names of many prominent persons, among whom were the celebrated comedian, Tyrone Powers, George G. Cookman and the duke of Devonshire.. A° few more than 100 passengers were aboard the President. Whether the President foundered in some violent gale, was sunk or crushed by icebergs, or was destroyed by ‘fire, no man to this day has been able to tell, ifor not even a splinter of wreckage was ever reported seen.

Paradise of the Hunter.

- Kamchatka forms a peninsula at the extreme southeastern termination of the great Siberian continent. Game is pursued by the inhabitants all the year round except in May, June and July. Sable trapping is a favorite pursuit of the native hunter, the skin-of this little animal being accepted as the gold currency of the peninsula. The business of buying and selling is carried on with the natives through middlemen—Siberians, Chinese and well-to-do Kamchadals — who, while faithfully serving their masters, make a fat living out of it for themselves. A veritable paradise for the biggame hunter, Kamchatka contains reindeer, caribou, big-horn mountain sheep (Ovis nivicola), the great gray wolf and many varietigs of bear, all in quantities unknown, says an exchange, in any other quarter of the globe.

Antiquity of Porto Rico.

Ethnologists have reason for thinking that Porto Rico and the adjoining islands may have been peopled from the valley of the Orinoco instead of from Yucatan. When first occupied by man Porto Rico may have been g part of a peninsula connected with South America. Its fauna and flora are of the South Amerlcan type, and it contalns relics of a forgotten race ‘which show evidence of a high grade of culture. Few traces of these aborigines are now to be found except.in the Interior of the island. Among the curlous remains’ are stone-ehclosed plazas, on which ceremonial dances were performed. The remains of carved idols and pottery show no small degree of skill and taste. No traces of stone buildings resembling those of the Mayas are found, but the houses are of the South American type.

The Apple of Eden.

From time immemorial the apple has been blamed for being the cause of man’s downfall in the garden of Eden. We have even gone so far as to call our Adam’s apple by that name in memory of the incident. , As a matter of fact, the word apple does. not appear in that part of Genesis treating with the Garden of Eden, the “fruit of the tree” being the words always used. The fallacy arose from the fact that the word apple has in many languages the general meaning of fruit, and that before an English translation of the Bihle was permitted the story was incorrectly spread by ignorant clhiurchmen, and thus took root too deeply to be eradicated.
