Coup in Pterodactyles.


Buy Eichstadt Pterodactyle for Yale
College, Marsh
The editor, a quiet German professor
was lost in amazement. The price of the
fossil was more than his annual salary
but the message was buy" and he bought
and the precious pterodactyle was on its
way to New Haven before The Euronean
museums received answers to their written
inquiries. The fossil dragon was entirely
new to science, and Prof. Marsh described
It at length under the name Rhamphor-
hyncus phylurus.
For more than thirty-three years he
served Yale College wholly without salary
or other remuneration from the university
corporation. Moreover during the first
fourteen years Of his explorations In the
West his expeditions were fitted out en-
urely al his own expense. Beginning with
1882 he was for ten years paleontologist 10

If madame becomes the possessor of any

simple drapings, they, too are entitled to

Some remarks which Mr.. Clarence H.
BlackalI makes in the current Architect
ural Review" upon the subject of Good
and Bad Colonial Architecture" are quite
apropos of the times. He says that CO.
lonial architecture at its best is a third
hand style, brought about in this way:
Sir Christopher Wren, who gave a distinct
imprint to the English work of the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries. drew
his ideas OF Italian architecture not from
italy, but from France, and the American
colonies borrowed their architectural ideas
from the English work, chiefly through
the medium of the very meager books upon
the subject when colonial architecture as
such assumed It's best phases.
The scarcity of architects in the Ameri-
ca of those days and the limited means az
their disposal forced them TO Limitation
of style which came very close to power
ty. both in ideas and in details. On the
other hand, their architectural problems
were necessarily worked out In a straight
forward really good models that the best
of the work rose TO the dignity of historic
style.
1t Is to these older examples rather than
by studying the modern buildings that
the student of colonial architecture should
look for real help. In the modern build
iugs the distinctive characteristics are
less appreciable and the difference between
what Is really good and what is only
passable is not so readily appreciated as
Ia the older work for which the models
wero exact and the copying therefrom
carried almost to servility.

The present constitution is untitled

Besides this the legislature could be

Had there been such a provision in
