LAWRENCE. Oct. The state uni
versity is now in possession Of very
rare and valuable fossil which Prof VII
litson found this summer while out with
a party in search of fossils. The only
other specimen similar to this is now in
the Yale museum.
This valuable curiosity is the skull of
a reptile which must have been upon the
earth when most of the surface was COW
cred with water. The technical name is
Triceratops, The common name for II,
which comes from the Greek, is Three
Horned Face" The reptile was proba =
bly, 10 feet in height and % feet IN
length 1t was not unlike an alligator 1t
is thought, except that it was taller IN
proportion.
Prof S w. Wilitson, of the university,
and a party of students went to Wyom
ing last June in search of fossils In the
party were Messrs. r. Covel, B. b.
Brown, E. 5. Riggs and Regent Samms
While searching about forty miles
north of Lusk, Wyoming. the party came
upon peculiar formations of sandstone.
Upon examination it was found to con-
tain fossil. When the skull was dug
out of the rock it weighed over $500
pounds 1t was dressed down and hauled
by wagon to the railroad, where it was
sent direct to Lawrence. One-half of
the skull is gone, but the part found is a
very perfect specimen. considering that
it has laid in the ground for at least $780,
900 years.
The fossil now weighs about 800
pounds and is on exhibition in the uni
vsrsity museums. The skull measures
six feet in length, and if it was intact
would be four feet in width
The only other specimen 81 this variety
of reptile ever found was by Prof Marsh
of Yale, five years ago.
Where the fossil WAS found was prob
ably shore line at the time o! the crea-
lures wanderings The other bones
we're probably washed away in the great
sea few hundred thousand years ago
Prof Willitson's rare old Triceratops is
certainly curiosity of great value
and, as Chancellor Snow expresses it,
ats just grand"

Lieut. Peary and the other members of
his party, who left Halifax yesterday by
rail, are expected to arrive in New York

Prof. Dyche while reticent as to the
details of the expedition admitted that It
had been failure. He declared that
Lieut.. Peary had not managed to forge
much further north than on mis- previous
expedition. He would not give any rea-
son for she failure other than lack of
food in Lieut.. Peary's camp.
When driven back on his first attempt
to reach the North Pole, Lieut. Peary
decided to press forward again IN 1894.
lie had buried food in the ice, but when
he came to look for it, he could not
locate the cache.
He was obliged to kill his dogs one by
one aud feed them to the others. Dyche
and his party lived on walrus meat when
they could get it.
The professor states emphatically that
the party would never have reached
America had it not been that when just
on the verge of starvation Peary and
Henson killed some musk oxen, and this
saved their lives.
Prof. Dyche told a number of interest
ing incidents about hunting walrus, meet
ing icebergs and finding meteorltes.
He brought back bout 4. coo specimens
of Arctic fora andfauna. He also brought
back six dogs. The specimens will be
