POPULAR SCIENCE. IFCTUKR ON TUB FXTINCT MAMVAI.S OP NORTH AMIiRICA, DULIvERED BY TROKKHSOR LKIDY,' AT THE HALL OP TUE UNIVERSITY. isrCUL BKrORT FOR TUB EVENING TELEORAPn. Professor Leldy dollvcrod oue of ttio most interesting of lectures Inst evening, on the .Extinct Mammals of North America," at the kail of the University of Pennsylvania. At n early hour the ball was fully occupied, and the assemblage was one, as evinced by the pro found attention given during the lecture, fully ble to appreciate the remarks of the lecturer. Professor Leldy spoke at great length, and ac companied his remarks by Illustrations ami examples of the various subjects uuder con sideration, thus conveying a lasting Impres sion to his bearers. Below we give au abstruet Of this able lecture: That which I Inive chosen as a subject is rt description, primarily, of the extinct inrunnmU of North America. Home of you mar not bo familiar with this terra "mammal;" it is ono which we apply to the highest club of animals, Including ourselves. The term is derived from the fact that tneso animals possess organs for the production of milk as nutriment and nour ishment to their young. It Is a much bettor name that hns come into use in the place or "quadruped;" for, under this higher clasn;of ani mals, there are not only quadrupedal, that is, having four feet, and man, but there fire, in many Instances, reptiles which are classod under the same term. And under this clrcum Mnnce, the term "mammal" is more anpro j rlate, Inasmuch ns It covers the whole order of the higher class of animals, which may and la ..undivided into its several species and genera. Most mammals are terrestrial; a few of them fire aquatic; a lesser part are at least aerial, as, for example, the bat. They are warm-blooded, find generally provided with four extremities. They have a covering of hair, and breathe by lungs, which are spongy bodies, contained in air-tight cavities of the chest, and separated from the intestines and cavity of the abdommi by means of a muscular partition called tho diaphragm, from the movements of wnlcli, in the cavity containing the lungs, breathing la accomplished. When tho diaphragm is dimin ished, the cavity of the chest is contracted, and the air expelled from the lungs; when it do acends the cavity is eularged, and the lungs filled with air. Mammals are generally pro vided with teeth, of two sets. The first is called the "temporary" set, or milk, set; called tem porary because they are lost generally at an early period, and fall out, and are followed by those which rontinue in most mammals through life. Man, I am sorry to say, is an ex ception to this rule, from apparently natural conditions. They are apt to be lost at a muuh earlier period iu man tnau Is natural in many other animals. - The teeth are divided in to three classes: First, the fore teeth, or cutting teeth, named the "in cisors," as seen in those of the beaver, lower jaw of the ox, and front teeth of the lion. The second kind are long pointed teeth, called "canine," well marked In tho genus canli, as ttogs, wolves, etc. Tiie canine toeth are some times called eye-teeth are long, pointed, and well adapted to Dteree. The third class of teetii are somewhat peculiar, and are called "grind ers," and In scientific language are known as molars." These are the three kinds of teet It Which I shall refer to In speaking of the various mammals. In those classes of mammal, which feed upon flesh, the molar teeth, although so called in those orders, are not properly grinders, because they have broad cutting edges, and sharp points, adapted to penetrate and cut into tho flesh. It is only in herbierous animals tnat we Hud these molar teeth adapted togrludiuii and masticating. Mammals we divide Into orders, and nearly all the orders now existing are represented by extinct forms lu North America. The exceptions being lu the order of primate, including man and apes, cheiroptera, the bats, eoroe of the muscicaval, and also some of the oraenn like animals. There are no extinct forms of the orders of these animals. We have, oti the other band, the representation of the order in flesh-eaters, carnivora, including insect eaters. We have, too, the thick-skinned mil xnal, with the sub-division of the order eleplias, the generic name of the most gigantic of existing quadrupeds. Wo Lave in one of these subdivided orders of this genus, the thick-skinned, as the hog. We have the order of ruminating animals, from ruminants, tho tlllo given by that greatest of anatomists, Cuvier an order of animals which have a complicated stomach of four cavities, so disposed as to allow of rumination, or the act by which food once chewed is a second tlinu subjected to mastication. In this order are such animals as the ox and sheep. There were also the gnawing animals, as the rodetUia, which are well represented by the forms of extiuct npecles. The sloth-like animals, applying to the order of edentates, tho word signifying "without teeth," although some of these ani mals have teeth, but incomplete, yet there uro others which are entirely without teeth. Aud the last order of extiuct mammals, represented by analogy in their forms to living orders, is that of the cetaceous, or whale-like animals. The whales are properly mammals; they are commonly regarded as fish, but they havesoine jl the striking characteristics exhibited lu other classes of mammals. They have the same organs for the nourish ment of the young as the highest in the order; and breathe through thegillH.as fishes, yet they have lungs in the cavities of the chest, and, as In man, separated from the intestines by means of the diaphragm. And though in their struc ture they are fish-like, and aquatlo in their - habits, yet they are true mammals. Now we will turn to another part of our sub jeot, aud examine the geological formation of the earth, for the purpose of ascertaining where these forms of extinct mammals have been found. (Here the Professor exhibited a large diagram, showing the formation of the earth, the various strata of rocks, explaining the dif ferent formations, giving their scientific divi sions and sub-divisions, with a view to ascer taining the proof of extinct species of animals, by the discovery of certain parts of their (structure.) Upon the surface of the upper strata of roek vre have soil. This soil may be a ploughed field. ' If we were walking across this Held and should observe foot tracks, we should reoognl.e it as a positive fact that somebody had passed over the field before we had. None would deny that a man had passed over the Held if he saw tho footprints before him. Now If, in passing over this field, he should pick up from among the furrows an arrow-head of stone, or a boue, bo would recognize them, aud look upon them as relics of races which had disappeared from the land. If, uponldlgRine into the rock, beneath the strata of sandstone, he found a boue or sholl or tooth which was quite different from any in the vicinity, he would look upon them as remains of animals which had long disap peared and bad become extinct. If lu a second stratum of roek he found shells aud bones differing from those above, he would conjecture that they belonged to another race entirely dis tinct, which had preceded the race of animals that had existed in the formation of the differ ent strata above. And so iu succession, if lie would find fossils in the various layers of rocks, he would recognize them as different from those above. Aud If he should see fossils In inclined rocks he would know them to be the remains of animals that had existed long anterior to all those he found in the retmlar succession of - strata; because it is evident that these rocks, inclining upon the others, bad been rent and thrown up by some great up heaval, which is constantly going on in dif ferent portions of the earth, aud consequently such rocks by this force would be lifted from the depths, or made to incliue by tlio rupture. Aud it is evident, too, that these rocks luuHt Lave once been horizontal, aud consequently those above them. too. We trace the succession of animal life from the present order iuto the fuusb, uuuuu una lUi'tt. lum Uliotuut. lb IB uhi.. , lowever, in the most superficial rocks that we find extinct mammals, the lowest of the orders and classes of animals that appeared upon tho tsurjucu ui uiu cartii. The universal impression is that the Interior of the earth is a molten mass; and we have plainly evident, communicating with this molten mass in the centre of the earth, the flues out of which is forced the melted matter which, by neeumuiuuou, tonus our volcanoes. 11re a lengthy and minute detail of t.lie ceo logical formation of the earth was given by the l'rofessor, aided by the use of drawings, eto. In the coal-tlelds of Virginia and North and Houth Carolina, many loriusoj wie lower jaw ..iu.koi.uA knowaslDsect eaters, of the genua inseetivora, have been found, the size of wlifcli was not larger than one's little finger. This is .v, ..,i muiiimal ever found lu this eouutrv that belonged to any of the rocks below the terliaru strata, wmcu wo a . BcU...,ouvuiy rnrks which lie above the primary and second ary strata, and are distinguished from them HIE DAILY EVEKING TILEGRAPIl. FH1LADELPIIIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY , 2(3, 18G7. It Is n rurlons fact that In Europe, also, In these mine lower formations, there have bei'ii found the Jaws and teeth of similar mammals, retiring all the characteristics ol iusectlverous animals. Thus wu discover that all animals before this time were insect-eating animals. I will not arty anything about the remains In North America in a fossil condition, nor speak of their antiquity. Most remainsoi extinct ani mals are those iu the most bulky form, and the larger nulmals lu tills way aro constantly brought to our notice. For many suppose and believe thatUhe animals of antiquity were of gigantic ijize compared with thoseof the present time. This arises from ;the circumstance thnt the larrje bones are leNs liable to destruc tion thm those of smaller animals. The re mains of animals are not preserved upon the surface of the count ry In which they 11 vo, butare URUiilly preserved in tho bottoms of rivers and lakes, and not uncommonly in marshes, where the bulky animals sink inin t.i tiiini mi. aud aro thereby preserved lu the mud. Most remains, however, are found In the bottom of rivers. The carcasses of animals llnd their way to the large streams accidentally, and are car ried down by the currents, until after decom position, when the stroeturo of bono sinks down into the mud. It is there covered by sand and mire, and is thus preserved. These con ditions and circumstances are tho most favor able to preserve tho hard parts of animals, de priving them from coming into contact with Hie atmosphere and moisture, for while lying Imbedded in the bottom of a river or sands of a delta, they arc entirely preserved from atmo spheric action. The water does not appear to destroy or decompose tho structure of bone, although no doubt it has some deleterious effect upon it. Hut the water, too, has a property and quality of preservation, by changing the char acter of the fossil remains; and they become petrified that is. turned into stone; for the water having aqnnntitvol minerals in solution, such as carbonate of lime, fills up tho pores ol tho remains and the places ot the sortsuh tstanceM decayed, with silex and lime, and con sequently the bono becomes harder and inoro indestructible. Tims It is that the prevailing impression hns been received, thnt Hie animals of antiquity were of greater size than those of our own time; because the only remains of extinct species, which are invariably large, are witnossed bj us. When, if we were to study the science, we should leurn that, tince tho remains of the smaller animals, being, light ore not carried down by the streams, but are left to atmospheric action, and consequently decay, we would have a suf ficient reason as to why we never behold the remains of the smaller species of animals of past ages. No less than nine species of tho rhinoceros have been iound in North America, aud nearly all having the characteristics of the Indian rhi noceros. America is the country of horses, since no less than sixteen different extinct species have been brought to light, of all the various sizes, and some even of dwarfish proportions and sym metry of stiucttire. Scv ral epochs of ex tinct oxen of mammoth size have boen un earthed in America, equalling the huge ox of India. . Some of the mopt wonderful and remarkable discoveries of mammals arc those of the mam moth of toe genus proltoscidia, the name of a lamliyof mammal which has tho nose pro longed Into a prehensile trunk or prolioscis, as the elephant and the mastodon. The latter species, called mammoth because of its gigantic size, has been found in many places in .North America; for example, the Ohio mastodon, which is considered the most remarkable. Fossil remains of an enormous mammal of the genus edentate, that is, without teeth, called the cezatherlum, have been fouud iu the Missis sippi valley. Tho name is one giveu by Cuvier, and the animal was oneof the largest of the now extinct mammals. It was of the family of sloths, and had the strength to uproot the largest of trees, seeking the leaves for its nourishment, it has been estimated from the remains of the ova found, calculated by proportion, that It must, when standing on its posteriors, have reached the height of seventeen teet. Newspapers In Constantinople. A rrjlssiotary ot the American Board in Con stantinople writes:" The increase in the tium- Dcr 01 newspapers puDiisnea nere, ana in one or two or other principal cities of Turkey, aud the increase of toe number of persons who read them, are anions the most noticeable signs ot the times. Ia this city, live or even two years ago, it was a rare occurrence to sec a newspaper in the hands ol any one of the thousands of natives passing; up and down the liospliorus or lioklen Horn in the steamers which here unse ttle place of the street cars of Boston and New York. Now it is almost as common a sight as n those cars. Newsboys throng our toorouch- iares with theirlpapers in Turkish, In French, in Greek, in Armenian, etc. We have at least ten daily papers published at Constantinople. Their standard of journalism is not very high, and yet they serve to stir and direct tne tnougnts ot men. Their tunuence upon puonc opinion is juite as decided as in England and America." Venetian Newspapers. Newspapers have risen so rapidly in Venice since it has been released from Austrian rule, that the type-founders of Milan cannot supply the printing offices lust enough. The morning that Baron Rieoeoh's despatch arrived a Danwte Manin made its appearance; later in tho day came the Cor iere delta Fenmcrjthen the Itino- vumtnio, a revival or It lempos. 'iheee were dailies. Others appeared semi-oecasionallv. as the Giornate de Jfadioa, which, strangely enough, makes Venice its headquarters, aud a second Daniete Manin, which declares that it has no conuection with the other party ot tne same name, and might well take for its motto the line ot Shakespeare: "A uamel come to judgment."
