SCIENTIFIC CONSCIENCE.
an Interesting Tale of Two GeOl0-
gists and nm Exceedingly
Beautiful Fossil.

Happening to know two men who were
deeply interested in geology and who did not
know each other Detroit man brought the
two scientists together recently at the house
OF one of them and then left them to enjoy
the occasion. A day or two later he met the
host in the case and heard this strange story
from him:
We'll, Mr.. Cooper, that was fine man You
brought out to see me the other night--a fine
man. Why, he's as crazy bout geology asl
am, if not a trihe crazier. We sat up to-
gether until after midnight, looking over my
specimens and talking about them, and I'm
going down to see his cases. He tells me he
has almost bankrupted himself indu1sing
his taste for rare and beautiful fossils. A
funny thing happened the other night, too;
he's great one-that man! On my library
table had one remarkably beautiful fossil
too choice to be hidden away in d case and
yet too valuable to be left lying around. l
needn't tell you what it was, for you don't
know one from another. Your friend does,
however, and he returned again and again
to admire this particular specimen. Of
course, I enjoyed his enthusiastic apprecia-
ton OF it, and when he was about to 60 l said:
Mr.. Badger, You admired this fossil SO much
I'm going to give myself the pleasure Of part
ing with it to you. Please add it to your col
lection. So saying, extended my hand for
the fossil, and behold it wasn't there
