THE ARSINOITHERIUM.
Bones of Prehistoric Animal in the
Desert of Fayum—Scientists
Greatly Interested.
The desert of Fayum, south
west of Cairo, in Egypt, is the lo
cality in which the oldest known
inscriptions written in Greek let
ters have been discovered. In the
last two years, says the Chicago
Record-Herald, it has become
equally famous for the number of
hit herto unknown varieties of ex
tinct animals whose bones have
been disinterred from the sands.
One of these beasts is the Moeri
thorium—the ancestor of all ele
phants—a creature with a long
snout, but with a lower jaw so
long that the snout could not hang
down in tr4P£ style.
Still more interesting from the
point of view of scientists, how
ever, is the Arsinoitherium, an
animal that was bigger than
the biggest of our modern rliinoc
eroses. Some six or seven skulls
of this animal have been secured,
the largest having a lower jaw
over two feet in length. Above
the nostrils the Arsinoitherium
had a huge pair of horns project
ing forward. The striking thing
about these horns is that they
were not of horny, fibrous mate
rial, but bony outgrowths, covered
in life with blood vessels and skin,
like the horns of a giraffe, though
probably protected at the tips
with bony matter. Rehind the
big horns was a pair of smaller
ones. The nearest relative of tin
Arsinoitherium known to science
is the dinoeeras, specimens of
which have been discovered in
"W yoming in sa nds of t he same age
as those of the Fayum. The Egyp
tian beast had tin* Wyoming one
beaten in the size of its horns,
though some of the latter have
three pairs of horns.
The Arsinoitherium is named
after Queen Asinoe, daughter of
the first Ptolemy, who had a pal
ace in the Fayum in days when
that region was more nearly hab
i itable than it is to day. The time
that has elapsed since the Arsi
noitherium lived is, however, as
much greater than the since Arsi
no as a century is greater than a
couple of minutes. Excavations
in the Fayum are still being
pushed, though under great disad
vantages. owing to the fact that
the ls*st localities are three full
days’ march from water and many
more finds are anticipated.
CARBON IN ALL PRODUCTS.
4 St. Petersburg Chemist Makes s
Striking Discovery Regarding
Organic Substances.
Carbon is tlie basis of all organ
ic products, and a striking diVov
cry of Julius Walt her, a St. IV
tersburg chemist, is that this (de
ment may be made to enter into
various combinations with oxy
gen and hydrogen, by simple elec
trolysis of water charged with car
bonic acid gas, the results being
several sugars and vegetable
acids from one form of simple ap
paratus, says the London Mail.
The water was charged with tin*
gas evolved on pouring hydro
chloric acid on marble. The
anodes of the electric apparatus
were brushes of platinum and the
cathodes were preferably of clay
of silicates of aluminum with
largesurfa -e. The solutions about
the anode and cathode were in
closed in separate clay recepta
cles, that of the anode being kept
tive degrees <\ warmer than the
other by a lamp. The current was
gradually increased both in pow
er and in intensity, and at two
volts and 0.75 ampere oxalic acid
appeared, being soon followed by
tartaric acid, and by citric acid at
four volts and 2.25 amperes.
Fruit sugar was produced at five
volts and three amperes, then
grape sugar. The richness of the
products in carbon seems to in
crease with increase in current
and intensity.
