phantopus. The neck and head must
have resembled, in life, those of an ost-
rich of tremendous proportions.
Careful study OF the remains In detail
showed that the bird vas without wings,
and therefore is likely to have possessed
many of the habits of the ostrich. Per-
haps no better idea OF the size Of the bird
can be obtained than from the measure
ment Of its skull, which was one foot
two inches. 1t is probable this bird lived
In maTshy places and fed on heritage.
Still, 1t was also apparent that the toes
were small and weak which has caused
some of the paleontOlOgists to doubt the
marshy ground texture OF DR.. Strings
explanation. Howsve that may be, it
is apparent that the bird was a dwelleT
of the plains and that at least I'm the
vicinity of the marshes It must have
found the food which preserved its life.
Dr. Strings discovery has great in
terest. 1t recalls to those who have in
Yestigated and taken a deep interest n
archaeological matters, a discovery by
DR.. Deane of Greenfield, Conn, who
found Impressions resembling the feet of
birds in some slabs of sandstone taken
from the Connecticut river One of the
tracks had been made by a foot which
left a print 20 Inches in length, from
which 1t is estimated that the bird was
four times larger than the ostrich. While,
as stated the toes of the Australian bird
were small and weak, there sis marked
resemblance between them and the foot
whose print was found upon the Con-
necticut sandstone. The resemblance is
too marked In detail to be ascribed to
the general construction of foot which
pertains to all birds
There is only one prehistoric bird
known to history which has something of
the same appearance as THIS unknown
Australian specimen. In this the frame
work of the leg Is the most massive of
any in the class of birds. The toe bones
almost rival those of the elephant. Evil
dence has been secured by scientists that
this bird afforded food to the natives of
New Zealand during the period just be-
fore 1t became extinct. Possibly this is
also true of the Australian bird. Several
other species of these extinct tridactyle
wingless birds have been discovered with
in the last few years, but they have been
very apparently of the same class as the
specimens which the museums alrea dy
contained.

he ran for the car. By the time he reach

He turned around, and just then car

shafts. He ran for that car, but he
might as well have pursued a meteor.
Ihen he planted himself in the attitude

tried to watch dozen shafts at the same
time.
A car flashed by at the right of him
and he yelled, Going DOWN. at it. This
seemed to frighten the car, for it travel

Then he saw that a car had stopped at
the extreme end of a semiclrcle to let a
passenger out. He ran for the car, and
the conductor asked him: Going up?"
NO; down" he replied, and the car
shot up like a rocket
This time he did not look around He
simply stood in front of that gate and
peered up the shaft. The cars went nm

attention to them.
He had learned something He had
picked out his car and he waited for it.
When he saw 1t coming from above he
began to shout: Down from the 18th!

A Mammoth Bird.


IN r. Z. G. STIRLING, f. r. s., an
nounces in London that he discov-
cred, during a visit to Australia,
from which he has just returned, the re-
mains Of an extinct bird which in life
measured u feet in height. The bird, as
DR.. Stirling describes It, is unknown to
history. In some respects, It resembles
the elephant-footed moa, and in others
the emu of the present day. It differs
from all in so great a degree, however,
as to prove It to have been of a class by
itself. Large Quantities of the remains
were discovered, showing that centuries
ago this great feathered creation was a
common sight on the Australian plains
The study of the skeleton as 1t has been
prepared and placed together reveals
facts of singular interest. For instance,
the tibia and femur are almost exactly
the same in both size and proportion as
those of the moa, traces Of which have
been found in Connecticut. Then there
is jump of centuries to the present day
for the sternum or breastbone resembles
that Of the emu as 1t exists now. The leg
bones are like those of the elephant bird
