WELL, ID LIKE To SEE You EXERCISE YOUR MAYBE YOUD GET SOME- WHERE THEN PESTILENGE KILLED ANCIENT ANIMALS Mysterious. Disease Gall'sed Dis- appearance of Mammoths Minneapolls, Jan. 12.—~Mammoths and mastodons, numbering thou- sands, which once roamed the west- ern plains of America, penetrating to Alaska and as far east as New York, dled under the blight of some mysterlous power of nature, some- thing that the sclepce of man has not yet been able to discover, ac- cording to Prof, Clinton R. Stauf- fer, geologist at the University of Minnesota. Not only the elephants of North America, but the horse and the fierce saber-toothed tiger, his early contemporaries, died and van- ished in a way that has not been explained, Three natural assumptions, that MY BRAIN 1S ALWAYS WORKING.

Great Briain rghts romerved they daled because of *eclimatic changes; that thelr proper food vanished, or that man slew them must all be abandoned, Dr. Stauf- fer declares, “At least some of these creatures lived into post-glacial times when the climate was much what it is now, and all could stand tempera- tures even colder than those of the modern age,” says Dr. Stauffer, In the stomach of a mammoth found froken In Siberia, where he had dled, was a meal of vegetation such as still grows, He was the same type of animal that lived in North America, Primitive man lived when these creatures did, but with his small npumbers and crude weapons, he stood as much in dan- ger of them as they did of him, He did not slaughter them as his suc- cessors did the bison, “The only modern parallel for such a disappearance in North America is that of the passenger pigeons. Man slaughtered these by the million, but it has never been established that this carnage alone caused their final extinction.” Dr. Stauffer inclines to the he~ liet that a pestilence caused the disappearance of the mammoth, tiger and horse, although he sees no reason why all should have sue- dumbed to the same disease, nor does he think they all passed at the same time, But they did ail live at the same time, and all vanished, possibly 100,000 years ago. The horse alone repopulated part of North Amerlca after escaping from Spanish invaders In the siyteenth century, He then proceeded to; flourish greatly. .
