The MILLIoN-Y -YEAR-OLD GIANT
LIZARD. In the American Mus
cum Of Natural History, on June
10, there was placed on exhibition
the imprint and form, in stone, Of
one OF the most wonderful crea-
lures known. It is called THE
Great Marine Lizard" for lack OF
any more intelligible name, and is
relic OF the chalk period. The
period Of chalk. by the way, dates
from any guess a teacher might
make in any school. The most
recent guess is that this lizard
lived one million years ago. Il is
dead. Two years ago the signs oil
the monster were discovered in the
chalk formation found in Kansas,
which formation has a history no
man can tell. It was taken out in
slabs OF chalk, and an expert was
sent to look at it. He reported il
was no dream OF lover oil
Kansas Original package" but a
real marine lizard. Quarrymen
hunting for the cream colored
chalk were more careful after the
report OF the student in the history
OF the last million years or two, and
finally took out the imprint or
skeleton Of the lizard in slabs.
When placed together, it was
found they joined perfectly, and
that the lizard was no less than 90
feet long. These slabs were cut
away from the skeleton far enough
to permit it to stand out in bold
relief. Then il was purchased by
the American Museum Of Natural
History here, and is now on exhi-
htion,

A hold HoId.Up,

4 Milt Ward, of 4s6 Center avenue, was
assaulted and robbed of $6.10 Saturday
night by two burly negroes. The
hold-up occurred on South College

was on his way home. Ward is unable
TO describe his assailants other than
that they were colored. They attacked
him from the rear.
Mr.. Ward had been on South College
street watching the circus loading on
the cars, and was coming home. When
just across the tracks from the Baker
Brothers egg house, he noticed two
men coming up behind him, and step
ped aside to let them pass. This they
did not do, but one grabbed him about
the head, putting his hand over his
(Ward's) mouth and threw him to the
ground. Then both the men proceed
ed to beat him and go through his
pockets. Ward called for help, but
the assailants made their escape with
Sc, before assistance could reach him.
Ward did not notify the police because
he could not identity the robbers.
