Elephants In England.

While excavating for the foundations for the new buildings of the Victoria and Albert museums in South Kensing-ton-a car load of fossilized bones was brought to the surface by the workmen. These were taken in charge by Dr. Woodward of the geological department, who prononunced them the rsmains of the primitive denizens of the soil that lived there before man came to Interfere with them. The bones belonged, he said to a London newspaper representative, to the elephant, the stag and the primeval horse, and date back to a time before Great Britain became Isolated, ere yet the Straits at Dover had been cut through.
