filed with sand the cast preserved when the
clay became hardened into stone.
From fossils of the animal, which have been Oh
tanned in other portions Of the valley, It appears to
have had elongated body about fourteen feet long
four legs. 1t moved mainly on the hind feet, the
orelcgs being shorter, and lived partly in the water

The same may be said OF Gowanus or course, East
Ncw-York the latest addition to Brooklyn has not yet
had time 10 assimilated, and thar neienoofhoou
will doubtless continue for some time 10 Dear us 'aso
name There Is marked difference In respect OF these
local names between the custom in this country and In
ro,don In NewYork Harlem is about the only
descnafion that is In habitual use Perhaps Man
baitanvile should be mentioned along with It, and
the village names in the annexed district are SIN emf
ployed. But In the city propr one rarely he%s
for instance of Greenwich or YorlTvic. In London
however the names of the villages that have Deen
swallowed up I'm the metropolis abide as permanent
designations of the localities in question This prob
able due to the conservatism which is so strongly
marked Characteristic of the English.
East New-York, by the way, is now better supplied
with rapid transit than any other part Of Brooklyn
Both the Kings County and the Union Elevated Roads
are practically completed, furnishing direct connection
with the Bridge and Fulton Ferry and the ferries
running from the foot of Broadway and there is, In
addition, the rapid transit system In Auanuc-aVe.
Consequently is not surprising that the neighborhood
of East New-York is rapidly growing. Tho Kings
County Company has not yet secured the right to run
its road through the Twenty sixth Ward. AS tho
Kings County Company. its line terminates at the old
city limit but under the of the Fulton Company
seeking the right to proceed to the present city
line. The Aldermen object. however, on the ground
that the company ought to build some Of the other
routes which II has been authorized to construct
roads, as for instance that to Greenpoint As this
would not be paying line, 1t is not probable that
the company will look favorably on the Aldcrmen's
conditions Another thing which the Kings County
Company wants is the right to make connection with
the Brighton Beach Railroad and this right will In all
likelihood be sought from the Legislature this winter.
This would give Flatbush and other suburban towns
rapid transit, besides making Brighton Beach more
accessible to the cities than any other part of Coney
Island.
The Brooklyn policeman who recently brought dis
grace upon the force by picking the kets of Seeming
in the Catharine Ferry New York, has been
sentenced by Judge MARITIME to five years in the
state Prison. Whether the fact that ne was police
man taken into account by the Judge is not known,
but II might well have been. There certainly IS no
mcaner criminal than policeman, and the sentence
In this is by no means too severe. man
arrested in New York few days ago said that he
was a member of the Brooklyn police. but such was
not the case. Perhaps he had heard Of the other
instance and wished to bring stn further discredlt
on the police Of Brooklyn What he expected to gain
by telling this lie It is hard TO imagine. But then
liars often indulge their propensity for no reason
comprehensive by normal mortals.
