'Ihen he lied"
THAT, Mr.. Chairman Numbered Mr..
S%hideler, is the Vindictive spirit that has
dominated this meeting"
Lucius E. Swift urged the adoption of the
resolutions above, using them as a text for
q more elaborate explanation Of the ideas
they embody. The Scent fare he regarded
as the great question, of more moment than
PAWN between the tracks. Until the COM
pany opens its books the people Will not
be convinced that a Scent fare is impOs-
sible. He said that one reason they did not
want the present city government to settle
the question was because they are afraid
that the mayor and the Council Is already
committed to the proposition.
Alonzo Green Smith declared that be was
not there to defend nor condemn the city
administration neither was he present TO
reflect on the honor Of the countys repre-
sentatives. He said the bill had seemed too
long, but had been approved by "A to 8 y votes,
and he asked what right he had to set up
his ideas against the sovereign legislators
Of the State.
Among others who spoke in Opposition
to the bill were Judge #. T.. Gavin, A. r..
Potts, secretary of the committee of fifty.
w. w. Thornton. Ex-Judge Lewis G..
Walker. spoke in favor Of a settlement along
the lines proposed. and urged that nothing
was to be gained by killing the pending Leg
lslation. c. A. Kenyon said that, while
there was a strong sentiment expressed re-
gardlng general ignorance Of the bill, about
fifteen seem to know all about 1t. He eX-
pressed doubt as 20 whether those present
had all tho wisdom on the subject when
lawyers like Messrs. Hawkins, Hugo and
Joss have given Il careful attention.

Among the other exhibits OF the Museum OF

tions Of the skeleton of species Of fossil camel
never known before last year. when DR.. W. ID.
Matthew found II in Northeastern Colorado In
certain respects. notably the toe and teeth. the
animal possessed the characteristics Of the true
camel. But the American camel was never
more than about eight feet high. whereas this
creature stood fully twelve feet in his stockings.
Thus he was able to look down on the rest or
creation exactly as a giraffe does. His exceed
ingly long neck and legs permitted him to feed
off palms and other foliage. The whole skeleton
Of this remarkable animal was not found. The
portions recovered were one hind leg, part or
The other the neck and the skull. These, how
ever afford ample evidence of the unique size
and form of the creature. The discovery is a
notable one.

Drs. Workman and Matthew last year ana

Nev-York Academy Of Sciences. will naturally
he regarded as one Of the foremost Of the world
living, investigators in this department Of know
ledge.
Among the objects shown at the exhibition OF
the New-York Academy last week were some
remains Of four dinosaurs found In a quarry
in wyoming last year. west Of Cheyenne. ana
ebcut twenty miles from the Union Pacific
road. These fossils are especially interesting
bec-ause they represent an era Of geological his
tory that IL very remote. the Jurassic. and also
because the dinosaurs are not yet as well known
by scientific men as they might be. For time
almost the only evidences that these animals
had existed in America were footprints on Con-
necticut Valley sandstone. But within com
paratively few years partial or complete skel-
etcns have been recovered from the rocks in the
western part Of the continent; and the pecul-
iarities Of this link between reptiles and bros
are now the subject OF eager inquiry Professor
Osborn himself led the expedition of 1891 which
went from the American Museum of Natural
History hunting for fossil dinosaurs in Wyo-
ming. and he superintended the arrangement
and mounting Of the material brought back last
year by Dr. J. L. Workman and DR. ". D.

OF the brontosaur's anatomy. But when II came
TO depreciation the megalosaurs claws were ca
pable of working fearful havoc, and there is
circumstantial evidence that the megalosaur had
no scruple about chewing up his big cousin on
occasions. Professor Osborn thinks that he has
detected marks of this creatures teeth on the
bones of OF his brontosauri. Differences of
structure between the two sets of animals are
also TO he found in their ankles. Certain small
bones found that exist in this joint In other ami
mails missing in the brontosaur. And 1t is
not unlikely that this omission was one of nat
ure's. and is not Que merely to a failure to find
the proper bone.
When these remains were discovered they
were broken into fragments. which. fortunately
lay close to each other. What was normally a
single bone would consist perhaps, of twenty
pieces. The work of removal. therefore, was an
exceedingly delicate one, requiring the skill of
an expert in anatomy well as this particular
kind of research. An important aid to the in
vestigator was the difference in the color and
hardness between the fossil and the adjacent
rock. The original bone. converted into stone
by the substitution of silica for osseous matter
was black and adamantine, while the enveloping
material was a light-hued and soft limestone

dinosaurs. probably brontosauri The latter also
represent two stages OF growth Dinosaurs were
four-legged creatures. with long tails and necks.
The herbivorous members of the family may
have attained a horizontal length OF seventy
feet. although the particular specimens repre-
sented by the largest OF Professor Osborn's re-
cent acquisitions probably did not measure more
than sixty feet from nose TO tip OF tail From

The carnivorous dinosaur was a somewhat
smaller animal Another point OF difference be-
tween him and his vegetarian cousin Is the num-
Der OF his toes. The brontosaur has five. the
megalosaur but four. Owing TO the point OF

successful in securing such definition
