ARE THE FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS FRAUD?
There seems To be difference of opinion
as TO whether the stones containing fossil
footprints. found on The farm OF Henry
Ruick In North Canton, are or are not genu-
Inc. A MI. William Doolittle, from New
York, asserted that he had purchased them
from Mr. Ruick for 500, and Friday evening
they were At the St Jonn's Hotel for several
hours open for Inspection. Among the
gentlemen who saw them was Prof. j. Ham
mond Trumbull, who thought they were not
genuine, but that they were another Cardiff
Giant hoax. In the drst place the edges of
the two stones are similar In contour which
is regarded as suspicious. Again, the In
dentati01s In the lower stone are clear and
perfect, and this could scarcely be the case
with the genuine articles, for sand or other
debris would most likely have drifted In
after the drepressions had formed aud before
the other strata OF sand had formed over
them. In no previous Instance have any i'm
pres sions SO perfect In shape been discovered.
The peculiar forms OF the great and little
toes In the mans foot lead to the suspicion
that they were made from q rough wooden
mould, prepared with little care, and by
some inexperienced perpon. Tue compost
ton of the stone could not be readily ascer-
tanned, a. they were coated on the outside
with q thin surface OF mingled clay and dne
sand, and the owners were careful not 70
permit any cutting.-tH@tford Evening Post.
