The sabre-tooth tiger was a won derful beast, with whom primitive man was probably acquainted, but from whom he must have fled in ab ject terro-, for rude flint weapons would have been as useless as straws in a battle with so powerful an an tagonistic. There is good reason for saying that the sabre-tooth tiger was more than a match for any of his con temporaries, not excepting the mas sive mastodon, whose thick hide could not protect its wearer from the slashing stabs of those terrible bone sabres, driven with all the force of neck muscles that were like twisted cables for size and strength. No creature of today not the ele phant, the Bengal tiger, the lion nor the grizzly bear could contend suc cessfully against- that mighty ani mated mass of bone and muscle, framed for quickness as well as for power, which appeared upon earth in the Pliocene times, made itself the undisputed master of life by the re lentless law of force, and continued its reign Mil after the beginning of the human epoch. Its scientific name is one of the few which intimidate the readea by their AJtForCH Tb Original Nourishing Delicious DifWtibk Safe Milk for Infant, Invalids tad Orewtof Chlldnoi .

Mil mere sound km' look Machaerodys based on the Greek word for sword. What a world of tragic romance is hidden behind the simple fact that skulls, bones and teeth of -this formi dable carnivore have been found in ancient caverns known to have been the homes of men. One cannot but ask himself whether, after all, the cunning of the human brain may not have enabled the progenitors of our kind to over come even the sabre-tooth tiger. But those adventures occurred before his tory had been invented. Yet some day a rude record of them may turn up, scratched on the polished horn of a reindeer or painted with coarse pig ments on a wall in the depths of some still unexplored cavern. Look at the reproductions of the form and probable appearance of the sabre-tooth beast which you can find in the American Museum of Natural History, and. r.rticularly, see the rer markable representation called "The Asphalt Group," in which a sabre tooth tiger is shown sinking, together with his victim, in the awful grasp of a semi-liquid pool of black asphalt, on whose treacherous surface pur sued and pursuer had heedlessly ven vKlt Bitract In PowJtft ubttttutw Con YOU turn Flic. 'oats an afAnrvmi72l1 I Uch MlOt. Halted Qrtln I V onnniirTc Jf : 1 1 Wear tured. This group represents what may be called a historic fact. Literally, thousands of sabre tooth tigers, giant wolves, primitive horses, bisons, camels, huge ground sloths and even birds were, ages ago, engulfed in t'-e pools and pits of as phalt of sout'-.ern California. The once plastic substance has faasMagaeaa)tkaBaa)tlMEW s s r s r r Jk now hardened, and many of the skeletons have been pertectly pre i served. These ancient, dricd-up as I phalt pits are geological tombs, the exploration of which brings to light relics ot terrestrial lite so remoic that the embalmers who put away dead Pharaohs in the tombs of Egypt seem but the people of yester day. In the 'imaginary account of the hunting that may have led to the tragedy presented by the "Asphalt Group," Mr. W. D. Matthew picture? the great tiger as selecting for his victim a gigantic ground sloth, feed ing, with its companions, on the leaves and branches of trees growing near the pools, and which they tor? down as a bear tears down a berry bush. The sloths were probably favorite prey for 'the saber-tooth, because, owing to their slow and awkward movements, they were less trouble some to catch than were the bisons, who would range themselves in ser ried ranks, bulls in front, when at tacked, or the huge wolves whose speed enabled them to. escape bv flight. But in its fright the sloth that the tiger assailed rushed out upon the soft surface of the asphalt, and the attacker, noticing no danger in his eagerness, bounded after it. In a minute both had become enmiredx The tenacious sticky substance defied even the tremendous strength of the tiger, and snarling and struggling, he was drawn down with- his victim. Then some giant wolves, prowling around, preceived the predicament of their enemy, the tiger, and blinded in their turn to the danger, they rushed out upon the yielding surface to take the tiger at a disadvantage, and thus involved themselves in the common catastrophe. It is very probable that this imaginary picture is a sufficiently ac curate account of what actually oc curred, not once only, but many times, in those far-off centuries when Cali fornia's gold .glittered in the beds of its streams to brute eyes that were indifferent to its fascinations. But the only animal that w orships gold is also the only animal that compre hends time and its changes. President Transacts Business in Study Washington, March 14.
