FOl.^ST AND STREAM. 
Thb Oldest Pbeserved Meat in the 
Wobld. — Happening to drive in a sledge 
aloDg the base of one of the monstrous ice 
cliffs that overhaDg tlSe estuary of the River 
Lena, a Russian trader came upon a pack of 
wolves devouring the frozen flesh of a mam- 
moth. The latter must have been in an 
almost perfect state of preservation when 
first exposed by the breaking away of the 
cliff, as the snow was littered by fragments 
of skin, to which in some instances small 
pieces of flesh still adhered. Considering 
that countless ages have rolled by since ani- 
mals of the mammoth species could possibly 
have existed in Siberia, there seems small 
doubt of the frozen flesh in question (if it 
were really what it was alleged to be) being 
the oldest preserved meat in the world. If 
the story is as true in its details as the trav- 
eller would have us believe it to be, his sup- 
position that other mammoths are imbedded 
there in an equally good state of preserva- 
tion may turn out to be correct, and we may 
yet live to see the gourmands of Paris in- 
dulging their appetite with filet de mammouth 
warranted “fresh from Siberia,’’ after having 
been stowed away in Nature’s ice cellar for a 
few score thousand years. So little has been 
explored of the ice beds of Polar Siberia that, 
for aught we know to the contrary, a grain 
of truth may exist in the opinion of the same 
enthusiastic discoverer of that “accumula- 
tions of antedeluvian animals frozen alive 
during the sudden transition of the climate 
of Siberia from equatorial heat to Arctic cold 
lie imbedded in the ice strata of the North 
Siberian coast.” Until, however, some of 
the meat has been sent to Europe and has 
been pronounced genuine by Professor Owen, 
or 6ome other eminent authority, we must be 
permitted to place the discovery of “meat 
mines ” in the same category as that to .vhick 
people usually assign the stories that have 
made Baron Munchausen's name immortal.—

Sermons in Stones. — The rude represent- 
ations cut on rocks near the Lacs des Mer- 
veilles, Switzerland, have long been a puzzle 
to arcbteologists. Some have believed that 
they were the work of the soldiers of Hanni- 
bal. (What busy people these soldiers must 
have been from first to last.) The most sat- 
isfactory explanation of the origin of these 
figures lias just been given by M. Chiquet. 
He says’ that at certain seasons of the year 
shepherds could find near the rocks some 
herbage for their sheep and goats. To while 
away the weary hours the shepherds amused 
themselves in cutting figures which have cost 
days of owlish study to savans, who are 
more inclined to look for mysterious and re- 
mote authors of such things, than to accept 
an obvious and common-sense view.
