They are usyally white, and stand out clearly against the bluff background of the rock which incloses them, often attaining a length of fifteen feet, with niany twists and turns, ending at times in a large bulb, with occasional side oassages.. When first discovered it was thought that these gigantic "corkscrews" were huge petrified vines or roots of some strange plant. Study of the "corkscrews," however, failed to reveal any traces of plant structure. f,uter the skeleton of an animal like the badger was found in a larire bulb near the cad of the "corkscrew," and I ' bones of a small <leer were found in USTI ? ding territory.

Excavation of actuul recent prairie dog borrows, after filling them with thin plaster of parts, showed an interesting fact; the borrows of the prairie dog and the prehistoric "corkscrews" (.j were closely similar. The mystery is ?' considered solved. WOOD* ENGRAVING Wood engraving is supposed to have started in Europe at the close of the fourteenth century, the oldest woodcut is a picture of St. Christopher, dated 1423. Some authorities hold that the invention of playing curds led to the invention of wood-engraving. but this is not a certain fact. ?
