THE DALLE9
OREGOS
GIANTS IN SWAMPS.
Mastodons That Have Been Un
earthed in Marshy Keg Ions.
How Scientific Research. Has Been Aided
by the Discovery of Extinct Birds
and Animals In Wet
Lands. - - -
It would perhaps be difficult to find
anybody who would speak a good
word for swamps. The man who
drains one and turns its marshy surface
into productive soil is universally re
garded as a public benefactor. So the
projected draining1 of the Dismal
swamp in Virginia and the Okefenokee
swamp of Georgia is regarded only
with favor, and few could be found to
regret the disappearance of these re
- markable features . of our American
landscapes, say8 Youth's Companion.
' Yet, setting aside the strange
picturesquencss of such marshy regions
and the curiosities of plant life which
they exhibit, it is easy to show that
swamps have been useful in a manner
that . could hardly have been antici
pated. They have very- effectually
served the cause of science by pre
serving the remains of some of the
most remarkable of the former in
habitants of the earth.
Ilere in America the skeletons of
several mastodons have been found
imbedded in ancient swamps, and so
perfectly preserved that no difficulty
whatever has been encountered in re
storing the bones to their normal po
sition, setting the skeletons on their
feet and thus exhibiting to the eyes of
modern man the monster . animals
which were probably familiar sights to
our ancestors nobody knows how many
thousands of years ago. .
In Ireland the ancient swamps were
equally efficacious in preserving for us
the gigantic elks which became mired
in them.
Swamps have proved no less useful
agents of science in other parts of the
world, and particularly .in Australia,
New Zealand and Madagascar. What
could be more interesting than the
bones of a giant bird which
was in -all probability the roc
described by h'indbadS Just such
bones have been discovered in
the marshes of Madagascar and New
Zealand, and there is plenty of evidence
rthat the great birds which owned them
. were the contemporaries of men in the
; past history of those islands. But for
the swamps we might have remained
ignorant of the fact that birds with
legs larger and heavier than those of
the largest horse once flourished in the
southern hemisphere.
r Lately these Madagascar swamps
have yielded other remains of extinct
animals, hardly less interesting than
the huge bird, the epiornis, itself.
These are the skeletons of a creature
resembling a lemur of gigantic size,
but remarkable for the small quantity
-of brains which it possessed. It is said
that man was responsible for the de
struction and disappearance of this
creature. If so it was probably a sim
ple case of brains against brute force.
There is reason for thinking that
still other discoveries remain to be
made in Madagascar discoveries that
will possibly bring to light even more
interesting facts concerning the former
' inhabitants of that part of the world.
Suppose one of our swamps, which
we regard as utterly useless, should
preserve to a remote future age the
only remains of some animal like the
bison or the tiger, now rapidly becom
ing extinct. The men of science then
living would have the same reason for
rejoicing that that swamp had existed
that we have for being thankful for
the revelations contained in the
swamps of ancient days.
A Hungarian Court.
The Hungarian prime minister has
succeeded in reestablishing a royal
. court in Buda Pesth. Hitherto, when
the emperor of Austria, as king of
Hungary, came to visit the capital of
Hungary, he took his Austrian house
hold with him. Henceforth the Hun
garian lords arc to surround him upon
all ceremonies in Buda Pesth, and they
will also attend him at ceremonies in
Vienna, side by side with their Austrian
counterparts.

The readers of thia naner will be mnch
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to care in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting naturo in doing its work. The
proprietors have bo much faith In its
curative powers that they offer $100 for
iy vise that it fails to cure. Send for
