Thus said Henry I'alge Comstock to Peter O'Ri ley and Patrick McLaughlin, wbo were his fellow prospectors In a search for gold In Six Mile canyon, ueur the pres ent Virginia City, then capital of Ne vada. Tbe date was June 10. 1850.

THE EARTH’S CHANGES, What ths Fossil Remains of Plants and Animals Tell Us. There was a time when even the polar regions bloomed with many of the splendid and varied forms of life that now adorn the tropics. The fossil remains of these ancient forms preserved In the bosom of the rocks carry us back perhaps millions of years in the earth's history and show clearly what wonderful revolu tions the surface of the globe has un- dergone since the first plants and tbo first animals appeared upon it Who would think of meeting a rbl- noceros nowadays on the prairies of northwestern Canada unless perhaps a traveling menagerie should pass that way? Yet at one time, as discoveries of recent years prove, a creature close ly resembling the rhinoceros of India and Africa dwelt in that now compar atively cold, snowy and barren region. Remains of these extisct ancestors of an animal that in our day thrives only In the tangled tropical forestsand under the hot equatorial sun have been found buried in the Canadian rocks, where now the cold blasts of winter blow over treeless plains and sweep the flanks of ice Incrusted mountains. The rhinoceros of that remote age was no less formidable a beast than Its descendants, for the skull of one of the skeletons discovered is three feet long, while some of its teeth are four Inches across. The fossil remains of many other forms of animals have been found In the same region within recent years.— Harper’s Weekly.
