Animals That Used to Live Ages Ago.
OF the dinotherium no complete
skeleton has been discovered, but it
was doubtless the biggest land mann
NAL that ever lived. A full grown
skull of this earliest of proboscidians,
which had long tusks as well as a
trunk, measures five feet from the
point of the lower teeth to the top of
the head. The brontops, of elephan-
tine size, had a head like a rhinoceros,
with huge horns. Quite as remarkable
was the sivatherium, a beast like al
antelope, but big as an elephant, with
two conical horns on the front Of its
head and two immense spreading ones
behind.
Among birds were waders ten feet in
height. such as the dinornis and castor
mis-. Contemporary with them were
the mammoth and the m~astodon, the
woolly ~rhinoceros, armadillos nine feet
In length. and the saber toOthed tiger,
larger than the greatest lion of today.
All that is left of these wonders Of
animal life is found in deposits such as
those Of the western lake beds. For
years the government has been engaged
tn excavating their bones. Rene Bache
