submit the food to the action OF these
vertical shears, the jaws must have
been opened widely during mastication
and not unnaturally, as in birds and
reptiles the mouth opens to point
behind the eye. The eye was evident
ly of large size, but the ear was small.
AS there is a large nasal duct, the
hadrosaur must have had the sense of
smell. Its huge hind legs were useful
in wading in water productive of food.
When the bottom was not too soft 1t
could wade to depth of ten or mare
feet and pull up aquatic plants from
the bottom. If not too large, fishes
might also have been it's prey, provid-
ed they were not covered with the bony
plates which distinguished most of the
Laramie fishes and which protected
them from those particular enemies.
A great leaper was Laelaps aquilun-
guis, dinosaur found by Professor
Cope in 1866, in the Cretaceous green
sands Of New Jersey. (See illustra-
tons. 1t had a relative in the far west
which also did some leaping, and is
known as Laelaps incrassatus (Cope).
These leaping dinosaurs were carniv-
orous or flesh-eating animals. 1t would
appear that among their victims were
the type of lizards just described as
hadrosaurs, and that they also attack
ed each other. Thus the western lac
laps preyed on the western Hadrosau-
rus mirabilis, and the eastern laelaps
preyed on the eastern Hadrosaurus
Foulkii.
Laelaps. in taking long leaps, struck
its prey with the hind legs. The fore
limbs, being small, must have been
less efficient as weapons in attacks on
such creatures as the hadrosaurs. So
far as is known, there were but few
animals then living which could with
stand long pursuit on land, except IN
case Of certain lizards. Laelaps had to
contend with bard-shelled turtles. ar

linquish the search. With this

which only fresh-water representa-

enable them to swim the waves OF the

One of the Laramie animals, Hadro-
saurus mirabilis Neidy) (see illustra-
tion), wader, may be called the
spoonbill dinosauer, having goose
like head over three feet in length. IN
the jaws of single specimen were
counted two thousand and seventy-tWo
teeth. Otherwise it's form slightly re-
sembled that of the kankaroo. For
reptile the head had an unusually
backward elevation, remarkably con-
tracted at the fore part Of the jaw. The
total length of specimen In Professor
Cones collection is thirty-eight feet.
The fore limbs were small, and were
possibly used at times for support, but
rarely for seizing, the phalanges OF the
hands being hoof-like rather than
claw-like. The head was borne on
vertical neck in the same manner as
birds head, and it's general appearance
must have been bird-like. The nature
of the beak and teeth indicate a diet
of soft vegetable matter 1t could not
not have eaten the branches of trees
without breaking the teeth of the low
er jaw, but it could have scraped OF
the leaves. The appearances indicate
even a softer food. Could we suppose
that the great Laramie lakes on the
Rocky Mountain borders supplied an
abundance of aquatic plants without
woody tissue, the conditions would
have been appropriate to this curious
structure. Aquatic plants could east
r. have been gathered by this double
spoonbill, and have been tossed. by
bird-like jerks of the head and neck,

cate teeth. OF teeth it had four and
one-half successive sets. In order to

Old Yeoman Who Hadn't Been to BED
Sober Once In Fifty Years.
From the San Francisco Argonaut:
The late Justice Denman once tried a
case in an agricultural parish which
mainly turned upon the recollections
of the oldest inhabitants. One Of these
was hale and vigorous yeoman of 49,
whose erect figure, keen intelligence
and clear testimony created so strong
a sensation in the court that the judge
questioned him concerning his mode Of
life The witness explained that he
was a vegetarian and total abstain
err. The Judge, in dsmssing him, eX.
pressed hope that all who were pres.
ent might profit by his example, and
then the next witness was called. This
was another yeoman, the elder brother
of the preceding, and fully match
for him in strength, activity and intel
ligence. As he was about to retire the
Judge stopped him with the observa-
ton: II presume that you also. Mr..
Greenfield, are indebted for the preser-
walton Of your strength and faculties
to a careful observation Of the same
sobriety and of the same regimen
which has been so well described to
us by your brother?" "Hain't been to
bed sober for fifty years, my lord" was
the unblushing and unexpected reply.

FARMERS GIRLS.
Tho Important Part They Take In tn
Mana OF Place.

The Important Part They Take In tn
Management Of Place.
There are many farmers Throughout
the country who are sufficiently liberia
to the boys, but who think that girls
| wants should be supplied as they sug-
gest themselves, and with no regard
for individual preference, says the
Philadelphia Times. After harvest
the son, who has driven the reaper or
helped at threshing, has his share OF
the profits to control and do with as
he pleases. Certain of the stock have
been given him-a pig, a calf or colt'
which he will eventually sell and put
the proceeds in his pocket. The farm
offers all sorts of opportunities for
earnings, great or small, to which his
right is never questioned. BY and by
he drives his own horse, joins CLUB,
buys books and goes to college-a
right which he has earned, and TO
which he is fairly entitled. With the
girl 1t is usually very different. 1t
never occurs to any one that she, TOO,
would enjoy a small income which she
could count upon as her very own, ana
invest as she saw fit without restraint
or objection. The butter and eggs are
sometimes her special commodity,
and from their sales she has limited
supply OF pocket money. But 1t is
extremely limited and frequently very
uncertain. Yet her labor in the home
about the place" has done as much
toward establishing the family pros
perity as the labor of her brother. She
is up at daybreak to get breakfast
ready. She prepares, frequently un-
assisted, three meals day for 800
days in the year. She does the wash
ing and ironing, the sewing and mend
Ing and is still at her work long after
her brother is in bed and asleep or
away visiting the neighbors. She, too,
has an additional tax during harvest
and at those seasons when the work
upon the farm is especially heavy, but
she rarely receives any reward Tor the
extra service required of her. 1t Is a
manifest injustice. A good many over
careful fathers excuse themselves up
on the plea that girls have no judy
ment in money matters. Well, they
certainly will never acquire wisdom
without experience, and they cannot
gain experience if the means for SO do
ing are withheld. The financial facul-
ty in most women lies dormant for
lack of exercise but it has been mar
velously developed when put to the
test. There are thousands OF women
in the country. widows, who have as
sumed the management of affairs upon
the death of the husband who have
succeeded brilliantly, when the better
half failed; the mortgage is paid of,
stock improved, modern farming i'm
plements have been purchased, and the
crops cultivated according to modern
and intelligent ideas. The profit-shar-
ing system should include girls as we'll
as boys, and there is no question but
that it will pay.

height. The petrified remains of the
animal were found in the Jurassic or
Lower Cretaceous beds Of the Colorado.
An examination of the beds at this
point shows first the remains of a shall
low salt water sea known as the Da-
kota formation, in which have been
found fossil leaves and sharks teeth,
Underneath the Dakota lies the Juras-
Sic, a lake bed from which we have

carnivorous as we'll as herbivorous d.
nosaurs of diverse species. The am
phiblous dinOsaur was undoubtedly
omnivorous. 1t seized whatever came
within its reach, whether fish, flesh,
or vegetation. It's teeth were spoon
shaped at the crown. 1t had ambula-
tory limbs. Its neck and back verte-
brae were hollow and probably con-
nected by air tubes with the lungs to
give 1t buoyancy at the right point. Its
tail vertebrae and thigh bones were
solid and OF great weight, allowing it
to anchor on the lake bottom. One CT
its petrified leg bones is six feet four
inches in length, and weighs about 800
pounds. The weight Of the entire an
imal might have been three or four
tons. 1t probably never came wholly
out OF water. Had it done so, the
great weight Of its structure might
have caused collapse. The water
was its safeguard, for its surrounding
weight held its gigantic frame togeth-
err There is no evidence that it was
web-footed. It's great poster!or skele-
ton enabled it to stand firmly on the
bottom, seize a passing fish, feed on
the plant life at the bottom, raise its
head to great height, stand on its
hind feet and tail, and browse on the
overhanging branches. A saurian in
structure, 1t was everything in habits.
1t swept the territory in which it
moved of animal and vegetable life. OF
the wonderful fauna of the Jurassic
it was one of the tallest. of hugest d.
mansions, of the greatest mass in pro-
portion to height. The giant dinosaur
would be an appropriate name for an
other reptile--the camarasaur. The
Amphicaelius altus, just described,
was amphibous in the sense that it
fed upon everything it could reach and
capture. in or out Of water, while wad-
ing. The type now to be described was
similar in appearance in many e.
spects, except that it waded or swan
in the water indifferently. This type
was purely herbivorous. and it's great
bulk suggests that it required at least
an acre Of plants, grass, and leaves to
satisfy its appetite for a meal.

moderately long, rounded and strong,

AS a kicker Laelaps stands unrivalled

A huge dinosaur from the Laramie
formation was the horned agathaumas.
Its ponderous horned skull suggests
the appearance of a rhinoceros, and
it's high curved back and bulk an ele-
phant. No animal known had more
powerful armature upon its skull than
this creature. In front was knife
like beak, on the head pair of large
pointed horns, and on the back Of the
head a row of sharp projections.
This skull, armored with horns and
beak, in shape like wedge, was sup
ported by massive bones, making a
formidable weapon for offense and de-
fense OF all the later dinosaurs, this
one alone had large fore feet, showing
that it walked on four feet. Forum
ately for the contemporary animal, this
beast lived on herbs and grass; other
wise it might have slain the remain
ing forms OF life within its territory;
whereas it's great powers of fighting
merely marked it as good object to
leave unmolested in its pursuits, which
were possibly as peaceable and tran
quill as those of cattle. 1t was an AMI
NAL of the forest and jungle. These
walking citadels had to be attacked
from behind, if at all, by their active
contemporary, the Laelaps incrassa'
