These bones show this animal to have
been from twenty-five to thirty feet
long, and fifteen feet tail. 1t fed on
trees and bushes, and a wagon-load of
pine branches and cones would have
made light supper for this monster.
Its molar teeth had grinding surfaces

STEVENSON is DYING.
Report Says Cigarettes Are Killing the
English Novelist by Inches

The report that Robert Louis Steven
son is a victim to consumption and that
he is slowly dying at his Samoan home
causes no surprise to those who know
the novelist. The fact of the matter
Is that Mr.. Stevenson Is a victim to
cigarette smoking. and it may be said
that he has ruined his health by his
Der very we'll, says a writer in the I'hil-
adelphia Times, when he left England
upon Lis last journey to America that
he took with him Il supply OF cigarettes
OF dimensions scarcely creditable. He
came on a slow sailing vessel. and he
provided for it amply so far as tobacco
was concerned. One portion OF his
baggage consisted literally of tobacco.
There were 200 boxes of cigarettes, and
fearing that this supply might exhaust
itself before he reached land he had a
reserve supply Of tobacco and cigarette
paerS. / recall, too, a letter written by
him while he was winterng in the Adj
rondackS in which he said: Il feel that
l have many things to be grateful for
to my American residence. Not only
has this brisk and invigorating air al
most completely restored my health,
but l have practically overcome the
cigarette habit. | find myself now re-
duced to tive b0XeX Of cigarettes day.
Stevenson practically smoked all day,
and was never without a cigarette in
his mouth. When he was he felt miSer-
able. Often when he walked during
the night, while he lived in New York,
he would light a match and smoke half
a dozen cigarettes in bed while WOOing
renewed sleep. This excess told on him
to such an extent that when he left
New York for Samoa one of his lungs
was beyond medical remedy. The nov
eliSt was never possessed OF 4 ragged
constitution. He had weak lungs from
bOyhood and he was conscious OF it
But he would not sacrifice the ci arctic,
and five bXes of cigarettes, Of twenty
! pieces each, meant, as he himself says,
a moderate days smoking for him. Ev-
cry possible substitute was reSOrted to
in order to break the habit, but all eff
forts were fuitlesS. Robot Louis Ste
