An interesting bill indorsed by the

world, which the scientists say dates
back millions of years before the crea-

collection of curiosities in existence.
The scientists classify the great geo.
logical periods as paleozoic, mesozoic
and cenozoic dating back 40,0O0,000 or
50.000.000 years, 100000 years and A.
100000 years, respectively. During the
mesozoic time the American continent
is supposed TO have been covered by a
vast ocean, but undoubtedly near some
former land, from which the trees Of
the petrfied forest We're washed down

Little Walter Zeismer Meets with a
Painful Accident-Other In
teresting News Notes.

Walter Ziesmer, the young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Ziesmer. of 500
Prospect avenue, met with a painful
accident on Tuesday evening. While
playing with several companions in
the vicinity of his home, he TIPPED
over plank and fell, striking the
curb stone with his left arm.
He at once got UP and ran to his
home, screaming with pain, and upon
examination it was found that his left
arm was fractured in two different
places. Doctors Ritz and Wehlau were
at once summoned, but would not set
the injured limb, as the arm had swol-
len considerably. The physicians will
be unable to reduce the fracture until
the swelling is reduced.
