In the morning service Uov. Mr. Hall drew
n vivid picture of the scone of Christ's p.ir.v
bio of the coming of the bridegroom. Thu
main point of the lesson Christ taucht by
the parahlo was to provide for the future.
The scriptures say nothing against providing
for the future , but everything about , not pro
viding enough. Provide for the comlni ; of
Christ. You do not Know how low the lamp
is burning. Ho hud hoard paoplo say that
they could accept Jouis any time , but it was
a terrible mistake. You oiuuot ban Chris
tian as easy at ono tlmo as another. There
are times when it is easier to t < e a Christian
than nt others. There nro times when wo
c n bear Hod's voice , and thorn nro tlnns
when the spirit decays , the soul is dead , the
light has gene out. You cannot co and moot
the bridcgro3tu with borrowed light. Bolter
receive Christ now when the sensibilities
are tender and uro drawing you.
The discourse abounded in strong and par-
linont Illustrations und the lessons enforced
with eloquent argument.

NEW GIGANTIC FOSSILS.
l.nto Dlncovcrlrs In Northwpstrrn Nctimsltn
Which Pm/le ScluntUti.
Irwln 11. Barbour In Science , Febru
ary 1'J ' , 1802 : Whllo on a collecting trip
the past summer In Iho Bad Lands of
northwestern Nobnibka and southwest
ern South Dakota mv attention was
called by Mr. Charles K. Holmes ( Vale ,
' 81) ) to some gigantic fossils" abounding
In the extreme northern corner of Ne
braska. At that time I secured ono largo
specimen , and noted and sketched sev
eral other forms , Intending to return
later and complete the work in that
highly interesting lield.
These fossils seem altogether so re
markable and of such imposing si/.o and
peculiarity of form , that I have felt
great hesitancy In offering nny sugges
tions as to wliat they are or in describ
ing them at all ; and what 1 now venture
to publish is proposed tentatively , till I
can return to this sixmo spot and complete
pleto the work cut short last season.
Not less than two gouora and three sps-
cies of family were noted , nnd , because
of their similarity to immense cork
screws , wo dubbed thorn "Devil's Cork
screws , " and I offer for them the provis
ional name Daimonolix. At least two
gigantic and ono small species were ob
served. They are almost mathematically
exact and regular in form , and suggest a
great three-Inch vine coiled with strict
uniformity of pitch about a four or ilvo-
inch pole. However , the vine and pole ,
as the cut will show , are just as much
ono as are the thread and screw which
they so strikingly resemble. At the bottom
tom of all is a transverse piece , indefi
nitely long and about ton inches in
diameter , rendering the appearance of
the whole like that of the veritable
corkscrew.
Jusl what this great "rizomo" is , re
mains to bo learned. In the meantime ,
sullice it to say that , as far as ob
served , it consists invariably of a
small obliquely descending portion
and a largo obliquely ascending ono.
The latter , as shown by all that have
been dug out , at least scorn to curve up
ward gradually and ultimately roach the
surface.
The great "underground" ' stem of my
own specimen was followed from the
wall of a small buttp some ton feet
straight into its interior , and then the
work of further excavating in rock so
very soft and crumbling , yet so pecul
iarly diflicult to work , had to bo aban
doned. In the two remaining forms es
pecially noted , ono gigantic , the other
small , the coil hud the form and pitch
of the common open corkscrew.
They covered an area of several
square miles , whore I saw largo num
bers of them , all standing in the Incom
pletely lithilied sandstone as erect as so
many titanic hop poles with so many
titanic vines coiled upon them. I esti
mated that many could not bo less than
thirty or more foot in height ; at any
rate , wo frequently saw in the vertical
walls of small canyons or draws fifteen
feetof exposed corkscrews , while an un
known amount had boon wreathed from
the top and an indollnito amount was
still buried in the rocks below. Then
again , I dug out the basal portion of ono
specimen fully thirty feet below the sur
face , where the tip-ends of others were
exposed. These strange forms seem to
bo casts , no structure being visible to
the eye , or under the glass. The gray
matrix readily weathers away from the
specimen , which on fracture shows a
spongy , friable , white wall , surrounding
a core or matrix ; though ol chalky ap
pearance , the wall is strictly silicioti" .
Wliilo reminding one forcibly of some
monstrous fossil bryozoan , it seems im
probable ihat it is such , neither is it a
plant nur a mollusk us I believe. Possi
bly it is the case of some tincinnt worm.
I have shown the specimen to eastern as
well as western geologists and botanists ,
besides sending drawings and descrip
tions of it to others , who pronounce it
entirely now to them. As far as my
own experience goes , I have neither
scon anything of the kind in any of our
largo eastern museums nor have seen
anything published relating to it , and I
feel reasonable conlidcnco in offering a
notice of what I believe to bo a new
paleontoiogical specimen , trusting that ,
if nothing more , it may elicit informa
tion on the matter from anyone who has
It to oiler.

Fred Emerson Brooks , a California
poet , tolls this story : Ho visited Gen
eral Sherman two years ago when the
latter was in San Francisco nnd asked
the piivilego of putting into vorfao the
6tory of the march to the soi : , BoimUhing
after the stvlo of T. Buchanan Head's
"Sheridan's Rido. " The general re
plied. "Mr. Head came to mo with the
same proposition himself , my dear
young man , on two occasions , and I
begged him not to make the effort nnd
to be siitifllcd with the fume the Sheri

and made Leo sarrefld'qr , a conclusion

This was the last , ! Mcncral Shornuin

AN IDYL OF THE PACIFIC.
In nil Ishiiul Wlilli' ultli Skt'lctons of nti
i\llnct : Indl.ui Ititrc ,
On the lonely wind-swept Island of San
Nicolas , eighty miles oil the coast of
Ventura county , California , whore , as
far back as the memory of man runs ,
hundreds of grisly wlilto skeletons have
dotted the valleys and hillsides , local
archa'oloulsts tire now busy gathering
the relic of a strange , extinct race , says
the Son Francisco Examiner.
The island is ton miles long and oval
in shape , being four miles across at the
widest part. Strange utensils of tor-
penllno , sandstone and stetltc are found
there among the human bones , and the
Island and Hscrstwhllo inhabitants have
a history so curious that it is difficult of
comprehension.
ItrlSiiS the padres of Santa Barbara ,
learning that there were but sixteen of
the sitnngo Indian race then living
there , determined to rescue them from
the island. They wont over in a sloop
and succeeded , as they thought , in get
ting nil on board. At the last moment
an Indian woman returned for her
child , and ono of the frequent storms of
the Channel Island springing up , the
sloop was driven away without her.
The sloop wont on the rocks of Point
Conception and all on board were lost.
Sixteen years later Captain George
Nidovor and two men went from the
coast on a sloop to hunt otter off San
Nicolas. On looking they were , like
Crusoe , astonished to discover human
footprints on the sand. They saw no
one , however , and a storm compelled
them to put to sea.
It was two years thereafter that the
adventurous captain , revolving in his
mind Iho sight of the footprints In the
uncanny island , determined to go and
discover nnd bring over the lonely
woman of whom ho had vaguely heard.
Men accompanied him and at lenglith
they saw on the surf beaten shore a
woman with long tawny hair dressed in
a queer garb of colored blrdskins nnd
scraping with a bone knife the blubber
of n seal.
They surrounded and approached her
steadily , nt.d although suddenly con
fronted she did not/ appear in the least
afraid , but smiled ; and then falling on
her knees prayed to the sun. The wild
woman made no objection when by signs
she was made to understand that she
was to go with them. In the boat.
They reacticd Santa Barbara across
the rough sea , and the first thing the
Indian woman saw was Dr. S. L. Shaw ,
now SO years old , and yet living there ,
riding n horse. She had never
seen or heard 'Of any object like
it , and ihougbt the man anil
horse were one , and she knelt on the
shore and offered her devotions to it.
Two weeks after1 wards the last inhab
itant of the rock-ribbed tempest-tossed
San Nicolas died from eating food to
which she was unaccustomed , furnished
by her rescuers , and the curtain fell on
her strange race forever.
Wild dogs had eaten her child. Her
dross of rod and blue feathers , a wonder
ful creation of barbaric hands , was sent
to the pope of Rprao. Relic hunters have
gathered mortars , pestles , o'.ias , toy
steatite canoes and other curious things
there for some years past and shipped
them to various eastern and Euro
pean universities. Skeletons and
parts of skeletons have also
been collected in largo num
bers , but today the bones of thousands
of Indians are scattered about ihero.
Some lie face down , indicating that
they have fallen in battle. There arose
so many human relics there that San
Nicolas is known as the "Isle of Skulls. "
The lonely island , whoso highest part
is but 1.040 feet above the sea , is noted
for the high artistic class of many of its
relics. Had tbo woman rescued , then
52 yo'trs old , not died , a htory passing
strange would no doubt have b3en told
of the race so long hemmed in oy the
waste of waters about. As it is , much
of the strange story is shrowded in mys
tery forever.
Mrs. H. C. Oordinp , Evansvllio , Ind.says :
