LIzzAnDs FIFTY FEET LONG.
An Expedition Unearths Two Im-
mcnse Dinosaurs Ia wyoming.

mense DimOHauTs IN WEOmihEs
From the New York Herald.
An expedition sent on May last to
wyoming by the American Museum OF
Natural History TO search for fossils OF
extinct reptiles has unearthed specimens
which will enrich the scientific treasures
Of that institution.
Dr. ]. L. Workman and Barnum Brown
are In charge OF the expedition. The work
Of excavation has been near Laramie city.
II has been more successful than was ex-
pected.
The principal work ofythe members Of
the expedition has been to upearth fossils
OF dinosaurs, or extinct lizards which ex-
listed In the Mesozoic age.
Dr. Workman and Mr.. Brown have
found two gigantic dinosaurs, each about
fifty feet long. They lived about 100000
years ago. one fossil has been exposed,
and will be ready soon for shipment. The
other Is being exposed. IL Is expected
mat carload OF the specimens will ar
rive soon In the city.
The American Museum OF Natural His
tory has not had any dinosaurs. The finds
OF ths expedition are, therefore, OF con-
siderable satisfaction to the museum au-
thoritieB. The only other collections OF
dinosaurs in this country which amount
10 anything are those OF Prof Marsh,
OF Yale University, and the late Prof. Il.
d. Cope OF the University Of Pennsylvania.
These dinosaurs Of the Mcsezoic age
were OF all sizes. Some looked much Ike
birds, and took scientists Of great ability
10 make the differenuatlons. Other dino
saurs were very large, some being fifty
or sixty feet In length. The largest liz
ards were herbivorous. while the smaller
generally were carniyorous They walked
on all fours and their iocomotlon was
slow.
The large dinosaurs could stand on their
hind feet and reach up into trees for food.
They had coats OF mail and resembled IN
some respects alllgntors and crocodilea.
These immense lizards were the predOmi-
nant type Of land animals In the Jurassic
time and existed In great numbers. Their
brain growth has been interesting 20 SCI
entists II has been found that their
brains. IN proportion 20 this size. are much
smaller than IN alligators and crocodiles.

How "a simple Statement of Fact

From the Chicago Record.
II Is strange how the same statement Of
facts is differently understood by differ
ent persons. No two individuals see
things exactly like. Take the case Of the
suburban train which went over the abut-
ment and into the river a few weeks ago,
because the engineer believed that the
light he saw was the white one OF safety.
while the bridge-tender was equally sure
that the signal was the red light. which

Walking ON Cracks.

Laurence Hutton in ST. Nicholas, telling
what boys did in old New York under the
title of "a Boy I Knew" says: Johnny
Robertson and the boy had one great su
perstition-to wit, cracks. For some now
inexplicable reason they thought it un
lucky to step on cracks, and they made
daily and hourly spectacles of themselves
in the streets by the eccentric irregulari'
ty of their gait. Now they would take long
strides. like pair of ostriches, and now
short, quick steps, like couple of robins.
now they would hop on both feet, like a
brace of sparrows; now they would walk
on their heels; now on their toes; now
toes turned out, at right angles, in a splay
footed way; now they would walk with
their feet crossed, after the manner of the
haLds of very fancy, old fashioned piano
players, skipping from base to treble-over
cracks. The whole performance would
have driven a sensitive drill sergeant OF
ballet master to distraction. And When
they came to a brick sidewalk they would
go all around the block to avoid it. They
could cross Hudson street ON the cobble.
stones with great effort and in great dan
ger of being run over. But they could not
possibly travel upon a brick pavement and
avoid the cracks. What would have hap
pened to them if they did step on crack
they did not exactly know. But, for all
that, they never stepped on cracks--of
their own free will.

A False and Fatal Theory

Atlanta journal.
In a Republican newspaper we find
the statement that ''as the expsndi-
lures of the government had TOR
several years past exceeded it's in
come the latter must be increased"
This is q queer logic. 1t W ,uld justi-
fy any extent OF extravaganza and
any degree of taxation to meet it,
There could not be felser or more
dangerous theory of government
from orr mi-guided contemporary.
If government expenditures exceed
government receipts why must the
income of the government be in
creased? Why should not the
remedy be applied at the other end
and expenses cut down? The in
crease in our government expendi-
lures has been out of proportion to
our growth in population, to our
growth in wealth and the legitim tie
needs of the government.
We frequently hear the boast that
we are the richest and most powerful
nation on earth and those who make
it are among the first to clamor fol
protection" against some foreign
country, for the lack OF which they
tell rs that great interests in this
grand and invincible republic will
suffer, if in deed it's entire fabric does
not totter. 1t Is in the name of these
bounty-be CARS that the cry il
raised for more revenue because ex-
penditures exceed that which is now
coming in.

A Matter OF Buttons.

"Havs you ever noticed" asked
Snyder, the calculating barber, ac-
cOrding to the Chicago Record, "the
reckless extravaganza shown by
taiiors in finishing a coat? Well,
each sleeve you'll find three buttons
which are absolutely unnecessary
Now, you may think that this is a
trivial affair, but my figures prove
the contrary. calculate that in the
United States there are probably
%. 900, 900 such coats in ex stence.
With six buttons on each coat this
makes a total of $50 100000 but
tons simply wasted. You've p'oba-
bly, never stopped to consider the
enormous number this is. Well
placed one on top of another in a
single pile, they would make a stack
295 miles in height. Allowing a
value of 3 cents per dozen, by my
figures the money thus thrown away
il invested at per cent, would yield
an income at $31.250 per annum
| Surprising, isn't il? No wonder
people talk about hard times. But
that's not all According to my
calculations the thread used in put
! ting on the buttons, allowing two
inches for each, would stretch ones
around the earth, with enough lef,
| over to reach from here to Carson
i City. The cost of this, at 4 cents {
spool, would be sufficient to pay {
saloonkeeper's license for two years
with the bartender's salary thrown
! in. Now, we'll say that it take,
three minutes to sew these button,
on. At this rate, by my figures, il
would take 100 persons, working
ten hours day, just three and one
half years to do the work. And tn
money expended in working tn

quarrel is not likely to be soon decided
The latest enemy of the corset is the K
ray. This insidious foe has revealed all
sorts of enormities in the human frame di-
vine, said enormities being entirely due to
this cherished article of attire. Everybody
is Mortified at the revelations made by the
scientific photographs, but everybody will
go on wearing corset just the same, just
as people are well aware that certain arti-
cles of food are indigestible, unwholesome,
even positively hurtful, yet the market for
such comestibles does not fail. When 1t is
a question between looking pretty inside
and looking pretty outside, the latter
condition is sure to be preferred every
time.

woman is eligible to membership unless

Reflections of q Bachelor.

A woman is most critical of a man
she hates and a man of a woman he
loves.
A rainy-1ay club is an association
whose object is to make women quit
wearing old shoes.
When she gets to heaven the fist
thing a woman will ask is whether
there are swing shelves in the base
ment.
Sympathy is the fender on life's
trolley car It's all right as far as it
goes, but it isn't meant to take free
rides on.
The worse behaved woman's
children are the more she always
thinks she knows about bringing up
other peoples.
When a girls corns hurt her SO she
limps she always says she must have
twisted her foot somehow when she
didn't know it.

HOW TO PRACTICE.

An Eminent Music Teachers Views
This Important Subject.
Numbered with practical points by
eminent teachers in The Etude is the
following on how to practice:
Practice means to some merely the
employment of a certain number of
minutes or hours listlessly going through
exercises and pieces with the satisfied
feeling that one has done his duty. To
others it means the hard practice of ex-
ercises and pieces with the discouraged
feeling that the goal is as far off as
ever. What one needs to feel after prac-
tice is the glow of conscious progress
permeating his whole being, looking for
ward with longing to the next days
practice, instead of with the listlessness
or loathing that accompanies any but
progressive practice.
What one needs in practice is to have
distinct object or aim in view. 1t
may be precision, brilliancy, velocity,
evenness or lightness. 1t would be well
If each student were to make out for
himself a study plan, with the finger
exercises and portions of pieces to be
practiced each day, with the object aim
ed at in each days practice
Ii one were to practice study the
first day with the sole idea of memoriz-
ing the notes, the second day to secure
correctness of touch, time, lingering and
dynamic signs, tie next day aiming at
velocity forte, the next day velocity
piano, and SO on, including the different
aims to be embodied in the study, the
progress made in each days practice
would be far more satisfactory than if
one divided the attention ON the differ
emit points which together constitute per
lection.
In the beginning of practice on any
passage aim at one thing at time.
Later the practice may take in two or
more aims, till at last the fingers auto
matica1ly perform their duty, leaving
the mind free to conceive the interpre-
tafion.
