A Curious Locomotive.
The Darjeellng-Hlmalsyas railway Is
one of the most curious In the world.
It is of two foot gauge and on ac­
count of tbe steepness is full of loops,
curves and spirals, many of tbe curves
having only seventy feet radius. Home
of tbe gradients are as bigb ns one
foot In twenty-eight. A special type of
locomotive, tbe Garratt. had to be
made for It at Manchester. This loco­
motive was required by tbe specifica­
tions to be able to travel on reverse
curves not exceeding sixty feet radi­
us. with only twenty feet of length of
tangeut between tbe curves. Tbe en
gine consists of a frame supported at
each end by four wheeled bogles, each
of which Is described as a miniature

Henry I'alge Comstock to Peter O'Ri­

In that remote spot in ibe American
wilderness by these three obscure men

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.—
