THE DAILY RECORD-UNION. ' THE MISSOURI MASTODON. .;''.; Several years ago, a Dr. Koch placed on | exhibition the bones of a large animal he , found in Gasconade County, Missouri. He had arranged the bones with but little idea of v their proper relationship, turned the head upside down, and represented it as having canine teeth adapted to a carnivore, the tusks, in reality, — alleging that the animal fed himself with his fore feet. J. D. Dana, the geologist, and 0. C. Marsh, the | paleontologist, went into an examina tion of the relics, effectually scalping the Doctor, and, while crediting him with being an assiduous collector of bones, dubbed him an ass and a falsifier. j The Doctor claimed that he had found arrow heads with the bones, which would make it appear that man was contemporaneous with these mammals on this continent. However willing scientists might have been to accept any proofs of such a state ment, Dr. Koch's unsupported claim of the arrow-head rind was too much for them to swallow in the absence of indications in any other part of the country that man existed previous to the last end of the ter tiary formation or just before the post tertiary. Marsh says there is considerable evidence of man's existence on this conti nent during our pliocene, and Dr. Koch's arrows would have added to the evidence had not the falsehoods in which he was detected discredited all he might say be yond the mere undisputed bone-discovery. Koch described the several layers through which he dug to exhume the mammoth's remains, stopping only short of the old red sandstone ; when the facts were proven that the mammoth was found in a peat-bog, the bones being pulled up from the muck by reaching down poles and arms. We thought these matters were settled long ago ; but, to our surprise, here appears Bryant's History of the United States, with the capture of the Missouri mastodon depicted on page 1 1 . Bryant does not tell us the names of the savages exactly, but he represents them surrounding the dying nondescript, — all of them, like the Cupids in Biddy's valentine, with more bows and arrows than breeches, striving to fill his hide with paleolithic memorials of their existence, evidently fully conscious that millions of years afterward Dr. Koch was to beguile , Bryant into recording' their arrow-heads along with Washington's hatchet and the nickel-plated spade with which Grant planted the tree in South Park, as among the utensils worthy of being embalmed in the American recollec tion. In literature pretending to exact ness, no greater disservice can be rendered truth-seekers than committing just such blunders. Partisanship may be useful in these fields, by enabling the judge to dis criminate between assertion and counter assertion. Histories claiming to be exact should have such matter carefully sifted before introducing it to readers as fact. — [Chicago 'I ribune. BUSINESS CARDS. C. U.
