SUES COf M BIG Sill Dan Smythe. Pendleton Attorney, Asks $60, COO for Loss of Arm. Rise and Fait of Peter Lycfe. The Tripoli of tbe early nineteenth century could boast of a fleet And more, the fleet could boast of an admi ral hailing from Scotland. Peter Lycle was his name. When he arrived at Tripoli In 1794 he was mere mate of an English vessel. Bat a nature ava ricious asserted itself. He plundered part of the ship's cargo, was suspected and took refuge in the castle. There began his real career. He turned Mos lem, married a relative of tbe reigning pasha, and In time became lord high admiral of the fleet Hla ambitions did not stop even here. He did not stick to his fleet lie embarked on a course of piracy, distinguished himself and made enemies. Ills standing be came undermined. Toor Peter," com mented an old time traveler, "was no longer an object of consideration with any party." London Globe. Climatio Variation. There is plenty of evidence going to show that the "climate of North Amer ica was muqh warmer than it fs now." The remains of the now extinct mam moth, for instance, which are found all over the continent, and especially in the northern part thereof, prove that a tropical climate prevailed here at a very recent datet geologically speaking. There are, of course, other evidences, but the conclusion to be drawn from the mammoth Is enough to convince us that where the temperate (or colder) climate now is there once prevailed a hot climate, such as the now extinct monsters luxuriated in for centuries.
