A Bird sixteen Feet High.

The skeleton of . giant extinct bird
now on exhibition in the museum OF
Christchurch, New Zealand, gives one
q faint idea OF the gigantic forms OF
animal life which once existed on this
planet. The skeleton is that of moa,
q bird formerly indigenous to New
Zealand, but which is believed to have
become extinct about 1900 years ago.
Even the traditions of the natives fail
to give any account whatever of this
pathological wonder, which is now
only known by its bones, these occa-
sionally being found in the caves
where they have lain for ages, pro-
tected from the disintegrating effects
of the weather. A noted British sci.
enlist writes as follows concerning the
mos: "What Niagara is to ordinary
waterfalls the moa was to the bird
tribe. 1t belonged to the Titans which
dwelt upon the earth in the days Of
the dodo and the mastodon. 1t was a
long time before the incredulous nat
uralist could be induced to admit the
possible existence OF such a gigantic
bird on the earth's surface at any pc
Rod of the globes history. Of late
years, however. several enterprising
naturalists have made trips to New
Zealand from both Europe and Amer.

On this job, however, it lost heavily.
1t is estimated that it consumed about
thousand dollars worth of time of
the various Patent Office officials be-
fore maturing into patent, and when
issued the usual rule had to be fol-
lowed Of preparing copies for sale at
the regulation price of ten cents each.
The PA sheets of drawings had to he
photolithographed and the entire body
of the specification and claims set up
in type, costing for the first edition,
IS estimated by the ordinary rules, a
few cents over six dollars per copy.
Their copies are sold to the public for
ten cents each, or twenty cents for the
two patents covering the entire in.
vention. As soon as one edition il
exhausted another is ordered. A
great many people order copies OF
patents just for curiosities. For in
voluminousness these might be said to
be considered together as the father oil
all inventions.
