Picture our fpastodon feeding on
the edge of the river marsh and at-
tacked 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
bricks.
If you have the Imagination, you
may draw other pictures. Doubtless
hunger drove many a grass-eater
upon the asphalt death-traps and into
the soft-clay quagmire, in spite of
the instinct that ordinarily keeps
wild things out of such dangers.
Doubtless there were earthquakes,
and tn time of earthquake wild life
goes crazy with fear. And certainly
the carnivores outlasted the herb-
ivores. It may be that the final
struggle for survival among the flesh-
eaters was around and even on the La
Brea death-traps. ,
In any event, this was the end of
the prehistoric horse, camel, elephant,
mastodon, ox and tiger, on the North
American continent. Man probably
did not suffer In this tragedy of ths
animal world. He probably came,
whether' from the south or from the
west, after the final ice cap had with*
drawn into the north.

The trials and tribulations of a staff
of some 2,000,000 census takers to
find out there were approximately
319,000,000 people in India in 1921,
have been related by J. Marten, cen-
sus commissioner for India.
The employment of this huge army
of enumerators, -said Mr. Marten, was
necessitated by the fact that, owing to
the illiteracy of the population, the
employment of the householder as
enumerator of his household was Im-
possible. He told of instances of
enumerators being stabbed by suspi-
cious Hindus, who considered the cen-
sus takers too inquisitive. Rome of
the natives,, on the other hand, resort-
ed to violence when,bribery failed to
induce the census takers to make
false entries showing that the natives
enjoyed higher stations in the social
scale than was really the case.

More power to their el-
bows. They are trying to-wrest both
historical and prehlstortcal 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 pal>
ontologista la that Asia is the “mother
of continents” and the cradle of life
on this globe. Dr. Henry Fairfield Ob-
born, director of thu American Mu-
seum of Natural History, put forward
this hypothesis in 1900. He based
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
Rockies. He reasoned that these ani-
mals could not have originated where
the remains were found, else they
would have spread westward and east-
ward respectively. His conclusion
was that they must have originated at
some half-way spot on the other side
of the globe. That is why the third
Asiatic expedition of the museum is
now in the Gobi desert in Mongolia in
search of the paleontologic garden of
Eden and the “missing link."
Luck plays its part in this business
of wresting secrets from the earth
with a shovel, just as it does in poli-
tics and horse racing. It is a curi-
ous fact that mining, road-building,
and the ordinary activities of civilized
men have brought to light by acci-
dent many of the most Important fos-
site. y-r'... ' •'<;
A mighty mastodon—or at least
Its skeletal parts—has just been un-
earthed at Loe Angeles. By accident?
Well, rather. It was found by work-
men in a brickyard within a stone's
throw of the Mission road.
And it is a “mighty mastodon." The
tusk measures nine feet and weighs
MJB pounds—the largest mastodon tusk
ever discovered In America.
Any other city but Loe Angeles
would be excited over this mastodon,
but the finding of prehistoric mam-
mals Is an .old story tn this region.
Out of this locality, centering tn the
brickyard, have been dug skeletal
parts of a Columbian elephant, an Im-
perial elephant, and another masto-
don. The bones of mylodons (giant
ground sloths), horses, camel% deer,
and many other herbivores have also
been found.
Besides ail this, seven miles from
the center of the city ere the famous
La Brea asphalt pita from which have
been taken the remains of over 2,000
sabretooth tigers, seventeen speci-
mens of the elephant family, and 185
dire wolves, together with an in-
cap, miles in thickness, forced up vol-
canic fires, with their poisonous gases.
The feeding areas decreased. Food
for the grass-eaters grew correspond-
ingly scarce. In time every green
spot was the center of the herbivores
surrounded by the carnivores which
preyed upon them.
The region about Los Angeles may
have been the scene of the final
tragedy.
Picture a bison driven .by a sabre-
tooth tiger onto the surface of a La
Brea pit I The heavy bison cuts
through the crust. It falls. The
tiger leaps upon It, since a beast of
prey will usually follow Its prey Into
any danger the distance of one leap.
The tiger In turn Is stuck In the as-
phalt. Both perish. Down swoops a
bird of prey to pick their bones and
to perish In turn.

One wishes for the Imagination of
a Dante to vision the pictures suggest-
ed by this brickyard and these as-
phalt pits and their contents. There
are two significant facts to be noted.
One is that the claybanks of the
brickyards contain the bones of herb-
eaters only. The other Is that <he
asphalt pits were the common burial
ground of herb-eaters and flesh-eaters.
On these two facta hangs a thrilling
story of the prehistoric tragedy of the
Ice Age.
This big mastodon of the claypits
and the sabretooth tigers of the as-
phalt pits belong to the Ice Age of the
Pleistocene epoch, which some author-
ities 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 horse-
shoe into a thirty-foot bank. This
perpendicular bank of clay shows four
levels of drift material, which were
washed down from the mountainsand
deposited layer by layer during four
inter-glacial 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 fouto^ln the low-
est layer of the four. Before the Los
Angeles river changed its bed this
brickyard b.asin was a soft-clay quag-
mire about a quarter of a mile wide.
The La Brea asphalt pita were orig-
inally blown out by eruptions of gas.
In these miniature craters oil collect-
ed. Evaporation changed this oil into
asphalt with a seml-solid crust. Water
seeped in on the crust and sufficient
vegetation grew to camouflage the
death-trap.
The stage Is set. Now for the
tragedies of the river quagmire and
the asphalt death-trap.
Before the ice cap marched down
from the north the climate of all the
country from Alaska to Los Angeles
was tropical. So the mammals had
nothing to do but eat, increase in
size and multiply. The ice cap and
the cold drove the vast animal hordes
steadily south. The weight of the ice
