It would seem as If the archeologists and paleontologists and many other ologists, to say nothing of plain antiquarians and fossil hunters, were digging all over the globe, More power to their elbows. They are trying to wrest both 'historical and prehistorical secrets from Mother Earth In the Interest of science. And we all want to know how old man Is, at what stage of the evolution of the modern animal world he put in an appearance, and what he did. One of the pet theories of the paleontologists is that Asia Is the mother of continents and the crudle of life on Ibis globe. Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, director of tho American Museum of Natural History, put forward He based this hypothesis in 1900. It on the fact that two great deposits of the remains of animals at the dawn period of mammalian life on the northern hemisphere have been found at widely separated points one in Europe, the other In the American Bookies. He reasoned that these could not have originated where 'thu remains were found, else they would have spread westward and eastHis conclusion ward respectively. was that they must have originated at some half-waspot on the other side lof the globe. That Is why the third Asiatic expedition of the museum Is In the Gobi desert In Mongolia in 'search of the paleontologlc garden of Eden and the missing link." Lck plays its part in this business of wresting secrets from the earth with a shovel, just as It does In politics and horse racing. It Is a curious fact that mining, and the ordinary activities of civilized men have brought to light by accident many of the most Important fossils. A mighty mastodon or at least Its skeletal parts has Just been unearthed at Los Angeles. By accident? Well, rather. It was found by workmen In a brickyard within a stones 'throw of the Mission road. And It Is a mighty mastodon." The tusk measures nine feet and weighs 165 pounds the largest mastodon tusk ever discovered In America. Any other city but Los Angeles would be excited over this mastodon, but the finding of prehistoric mammals is an old story In this region. .Out of this locality, centering In the brickyard, have been dug skeletal parts of a Columbian elephant, an Imperial elephant, and another mastodon. The bones of mylodons (giant ground sloths), horses, camels, deer, and many other herbivores have also been fpund. Besides all this, seven miles from the center of the city are the famous La Brea asphalt pits from which have been taken the remains of over 2,000 sabretooth tigers, seventeen specimens of the elephant family, and 185 idlre wolves, together with an lm- ani-Ina- ls y W road-buildin- Ram-sha- mense mass of the bones of camels. deer and bison and sloths, cave-bearof lesser animals and of birds. One wishes for the imagination of a Dante to vision the pictures suggested by this brickyard and these asphalt pits and their contents. There are two significant facts to be noted. One is that the daybanks of the brickyards contain the bones of herb-eateThe other Is that the only. asphalt pits were the common burial and ground of herb-eateOn these two facts hangs a thrilling Story of the prehistoric tragedy of the rs flesh-eater- s. fee Age. This big mastodon of the daypits and the sabretooth tigers of the asphalt pits belong to the Ice Age of the Pleistocene epoch, which some authorities think may have begun 500,000 years ago and lasted until 25,000 years ago. It was after the Age of Reptiles" and before the Age of Man." The brickyard excavation extends back from the ancient bed of the Los Angeles river In the form of a horsebank. shoe Into a thirty-foThis perpendicular bank of clay shows four levels of drift material, which were washed down from the mountains and deposited layer by layer during 'four seasons of the Ice Age. In each layer are the fossils of the animals that met their death in the river during the corresponding time. The mastodon was found in the lowest layer of the four. Before the Los Angeles river changed its bed this quagbrickyard basin was a soft-clamire about a quarter of a mile wide. The La Brea asphalt pits were originally blown out by eruptions of gas. In these miniature craters oil collected. Evaporation changed this oil into crust. Water asphalt with a semi-soliseeped in on the crust and sufficient vegetation grew to camouflage the ot Inter-glaci- y d death-tra- p. The stage Is set Now for the tragedies of the river quagmire and the asphalt death-traBefore the Ice cap marched down from the north the climate of all the country from Alaska to Los Angeles was tropical.

Down swoops a bird of prey to pick their bones and to perish In turn. Picture our mastodon feeding on the edge of the river marsh and attacked by a pack of dire wolves, too strong to be driven off! The giant fa-ther of elephants takes to the marsh. The wolves do not follow him, since neither canines nor felines will usually wade or swim after their prey. The mastodon becomes mired In the soft clay, to perish miserably and to be covered In time by debris swept down by the stream from the mountains, and In later ages to be uncovered by civilized, man excavating clay for i bricks.
