The most wonderful thing about him is his physical strength and mental vigor. He walks without a cane, reads without glasses, and sleeps as soundly as a child. The expedition under the zoologist, M. Herz, which was sent to Kolymsk Science, has arrived at Srednekolymsk with the remains of a mammoth, which they have succeeded in excavating. The skeleton and hide are in a state of almost compl'te preservation. In the stomach and teeth of the animal, which is a male, the remains of undigested food have been found. The various parts will be xaken to St. Petersburg in a frozen state. Considerable jubilation is felt amongst flaxmillers at the cable advices from England that the price of flax has reached the satisfactory figure of .£39 a ton. Such a price leaves a substantial margm of profit, and there is much activity in the industry at the present time. *** Subscription to the MOTUEKA STAR '■ —Three Shillings and Sixpence a Quarter, which may begin at anv time
