Professor Hatcher, Looking for Fossils,
Finds Lots of Other Things.

Prof. Hatcher, who has been hunting
iossils down at the earth's tip end. is
rack again in his home in Princeton,
N. j., much pleased with the results OF
this, his third expedition to Pata-
gonia. He has dug out seven tons of
the bones Of animals, birds and fsnes
that frisked about on land, in the air
or in the sea, and ate each other eager

how overearly they appeared on earth
because a million years conveys an in

beyond any possible personal expert
ence. Mark off a mile on q straight
road and then at one end Of this mile

will represent one year.
Prof. Hatcher says that the Patago-
MIA rock formations show an antiqui-
ty he hardly dares to estimate. The
lowest stratum he dug out fossils from
extends far out beneath the sea. He
worked on 1t at low tide, and the
highest Is some 5000 feet above sea
level. Washings from the Cordilleras,
the southern end OF the Andes. formed
these rocks. In all strata they are of
the same sutetance-the stun the gla-
ciers, rains and rivers brought down
to the sea. This deposit from the
mountains began in the early days
when all there was OF Patagonia was a
string of mountains sticking up their
heads above the water and extending
far toward the south pole. and II has
continued ever since, as the land has
risen n sunk, the successive ages
making enormous steppes. Three OF
these steppes are above water now and

Tho Thumb Mark Test.

It seems an astonishing thing that

OF the thumb or finger-tip, is not used
to greater extent than 1t Is for purposes
Of Identification. II the thumb be
lightly pressed upon a surface smeared
with printing ink, and then pressed
upon clean paper, an impression is OBJ
talned which is distinctive for the par
tlcular individual who owns the men,
Der. No two thumbs or fingers are
alike In the arrangement OF their null
titudinous lines, and a seal which can
not readily be mislaid or lost. The
French police use this test to assure
themselves OF the identity OF n pris-
oner; but surely the system could be
usefully extended. A newspaper cor
respondent who recently pleaded for
such an extension Of the thumb-mark
test stated that once wnen abroad he
was In great straits for money, al
though he held cheques for a considera-
bic amount. simply because he could

HlLO, May 21.-During the recent
visit of Mr.. i. r. Grant to Washing
ton, he interviewed General A. w.
Greedy, Chief of the Signal Office of
the War Department, upon the sub
ject of the MarConi wireless tplegra-
ply with which experiments were at
that time, and are still, being made.
Mr.. Grants purpose was to learn as
to the practically of this system and
the ACCESSIBILITY of its being applied
to inter-island communication in Ila-
wall General Greedy said that up to
that time the system had hardly been
found practicable. They had succeed
ed in signalling five miles or so.
though results were often dubious.
He could not recommend it for ISL
and distances. He suggested however
the Photograph system and requested
Mr.. Grant to furnish what data he
could applicable to the subject, which
Mr.. Grant did by letter little later.
General Greely's reply given below
will be found of interest:

Sir:--ln reply to your letter of April

tanned therein is not sufficient to de-
termine whether or not communica-
ton by Photograph is practicable. The
matter will, however, be taken up at
once by this department and if pos
sible, stations will be established I'M
der the direction of the commanding
