WASHINGTON, An* 2—At tin time of the discovery of America, horses find camels were entirely un known In the Western Hemisphere. The Indians had never seen a horse, and the nearest living American rep resentative of the camel was the llama. It has long: been known to zool ogists, however, that both horses and camels existed in North America In a geological age not very remote. Within a year discoveries have been made which indicate that camels once inhabitated the Yukon region >f Canada, and a skull of an Alaskan horse has also been found. In the summer of 1912, along the Yukon-Alaskan boundary, Copley Amorv, Jr, obtained a small collection of fossil bones of the Pleistocene Age, or that Immediately preceding the age of man. These bones Include several parts of a mammoth, horse, bison and eamel. Camel bones had never before been found In this region. Caels Once Abundant. It is known that several large spe cies of camels were very abundant on this continent during both the Pli ocene and the Pleistocene periods, and the discovery of their remains In the Pleistocene deposits of the Alaskan peninsula was not altogether unlooked for, although their occurrence so far within the Arctic Circle wag scarcely expected It tends to support the supposition that milder climatic conditions pre vailed In Alaska during probably the greater part of the Pleistocene period. It also tends to support the theory of the existence of a wide Aslatic- Alaakan land connection of compara tively recent date which for a great length of time served as a highway for the migration of mammals from the Old World to America. A not less interesting acquisition of the National Museum Is the fossil skull of a horse found by C. P. Sny der during mining operations near Tofty, Alaska. It is remarkably well preserved and retains Its original structure. Its Importance Is enhanced by the fact that hitherto our knowledge of Alaskan horses has been based on very scant remains, such as single teeth, or a very few teeth associated together, and a few hones or frag ments of them. Meager as they were, however, they showed that at some time in the past horses had been widely distributed In this apparently barren region. It is understood that the horses which lived in North America during the Pleistocene Age were probably derived from stock which crossed over from Asia Into Alaska and then made their way over nearly the whole of both North and South Amer ica.

It Is alleged he has been sending out Inaccurate information, hae been too friendly with the rebels and has out lived his usefulness. Powers Amazed by U. S. Mexican Policy. By FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS. NFTW YORK, Aug. 2.—The policy of the UhTted States toward Mexico In recent years has earned for us the deserved contempt of all Latin-Amer ica. Our succession of administra tive and diplomatic blunders has been watched with amazed interest by Great Britain, Germany and other great world powers. A considerable portion of the press and the public gasped with indignant surprise when it was semi-offlcially announced that certain of these pow ers had reminded the United States of Its obligation to enforce the Mon roe Doctrine or to abandon it. It Is a lamentable fact that the United States has not progressed far enough on its path as a world power to realize the propriety and justice of anticipating the inevitable results of well-known conditions. We do not act because it is logical and right that we should act, but, on the contrary, because our indecision and diplomatic cowardice eventually comers us into a position where we are forced to act. 8pain Forced Nation’s Hand. Why did we go to war with Spain? Was it because Spain was oppressing and slaughtering the Cubans? Waa it because of our Instincts of hu manity? Was It because of a feeling of sympathy for “the under dog?’* Waa it because the lives and proper ty of thousands of Americans were Imperiled in the semi-savage war fare between the relentless Weyler and the Cuban revolutionists? No. Any one of these considerations should have been enough to interfere by force of arms and stop a strug gle which was a disgrace to civiliza tion. But we closed our eyes and stopped our ears and let the sickening carnage go on for years, most at our doors. Why did we finally “Interfere” in Cuba? Because of the blowing up of the Maine. That aroused our flaming anger and we proceeded to rescue Cu ba from anarchy, not because It was our duty, not because It was the Just and logical step to take, but because we were mad. We did not know who destroyed the Maine and sacrificed the lives of its officers and men, and we do not know now, but that the tragedy that shock ed the American public into a realiza tion of the fact that something was wrong in Cuba and a wave of frenzy forced the Government to take just the step which, it should have, taken long before. In the last two years more Ameri cans have been foully murdered in Mexico than gave up their lives on the Maine They have been killed singly or in small groups in sections remote from communication. They were not participants In any of the numberless “revolutions” which have been waged for plunder from one end of Mexico to the other. They were ranchmen, cowboys, miners, engineers, railroad men and of other honest occupations. Most of them were killed while trying to de fend their lives and their property. Consuls Report Outrages. Day by day in all the awful months which have passed In Mexico the va rious consular representatives of the United States have forwarded to Am bassador Wilson the reports of out rages against our citizens and have furnished him with the names of the dead Hu far as known. Day by day Ambassador Wilson has forwarded to Washington cabled or written reports of the loss of Ameri can life and the destruction of Amer ican property. Week after week Am bassador Wilson presented to Presl* dent Madoro. and later to Huerta, claims for the redress of these out rages. They did nothing. Washing ton did practically nothing to enforce Mexican attention to these just claims. Madero was President of Mexico, and the usual crop of murder and pil lage prevailed from the Rio Grande to Guatemala. It was given out at the White House when President Taft ordered thou sands of United States troops massed along the borders of the Rio Grande that this disposal of troops had no connection with Mexican affairs, but was peaceful army maneuvers. This statement was a conventional diplomatic twisting of the facts. There was a brief subsidence of outrages against Americans in Mexico, but it soon became apparent to all of the warring factions that ' the United States was Muffing, and they pro ceeded with their work of pillage and murder, regardless of the American troops masked along the border. Philadelphia Doctor Declares No Child’s Spine Need Be Bent. Two Healings Recorded. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—"No child need ever again grow up hunch back.” This statement was made to-night by Dr. J. Torrance Hugh, of this city, who has saved two babies from be ing crippled for life. Another child, two-year-old Joseph Kelley, is under going in his tenement home the first part of the Rugh treatment, with the promise to his mother that his bark will be made straight and strong for the rest of his life by October. Little Trouble in Treatment. The new treatment can be given at home, with no more trouble to the mother than the ordinary care of a helpless baby would mean. Long and costly hospital treatment and months of agony for the little vlctliha strapped to the neck in hot and expensive plaster casts are done away with. The apparatus used by Dr. Rugh is nothing but an oblong frame of four pieces of lead pipe. After the spinal column has straightened, a bone grafting operation, to supplant dis eased bones with healthy structures, is performed If necessary. Back Gradually Straighten*. The secret of the treatment is that the leaden sides of the frame bend as the back straightens, so that the baby takes a natural position and the back is kept perfectly straight. The pressure against the tendency to "hunch” is gradually increased. This fall at the Methodist Epis copal Hospital, where Dr. Rugh has carried on his work, some bits of bone will be taken from legs of the Kelley youngRter and put in his back in place of the tubercular vertebrae that threatened to cripple him for life, so he will be made as strong as he was at birth.

To Keep Skirt in Fine Condition in Summer (From The Family Physician.) It would be much better for the skin if little cream, powder or rouge were used during the heated term.
