Among the curiositie. are bones Of .
newly discovered extinct bird that used
once upon q time to dwell in Patagonia It
was not less than ten feet high and had an
enormous beak. One Of the most precious
relics in the whole collection is little skull
not bigger than squirrels Small as it ia,
it has supplied to the satisfaction of the
evolutionist one of the missing links in
mans descent through marine worms and
fishes, reptiles coming after, and mammals
being developed from the latter stock in
the course of ages. Anatomists classify an
imals by their teeth more accurately than in
any other way, and the jaws of this small
lemur, which connects the anthropoid apes,
like the chimpanzee and gorilla, with
beasts not so high in the scale of creation,
are provided with dentition SO astonish-
ingly human-like that one might we'll imag-
inc the teeth to be actually those Of nina
ture man. Molars and incisors are shaped
and placed in exactly the same way, and
the CANNES. two in the upper jaw and two
in the lower. correspond perfectly with the
human type.
Right here it Is worth mentioning that
there has recently come from Patagonia
announcement Of the discovery OF mon
key of the Tertiary. which was the geologi-
cal period before the present or Quaternary,
which is the last needed link between the
lemur just described and the man-like apes.
1t only remains now, i'm order that the chain
shall be complete, to find the link between
the anthropoid apes and man.
THE LAST MISSING LINK.
This is the famous missing link concern
ing which so much speculation has been
offered. Evolutionists assert that it will
undoubtedly be found before very long
For the fact that it has not already been
discovered they offer very plausible reasons
The way in which animals are preserved
in fossil shape is by falling into the water
and becoming imbedded in the muddy
bottom. A sufficient time has not
yet elapsed for coming across the
remains thus preserved Of the ancestors
