Visitors to museums Of science are
always interested in the mounted skei-
.tons Of gigantic extinct animals, but
they seldom appreciate the amount OF
study and skill required to properly
match the fossil bones together. Even
ut the best it seems probable that
many mistakes are made, and extinct
monsters may sometimes be caused to
assume forms and attitudes unknown
to them in life. This is indicated, not
only by the differences between the
restorations made by various natural
lists, but by a recent remark of Profes-
sor II. G. Osborn, an expert IN the
mounting of fossil skeletons, that If
we had nothing but the skeleton OF the
elephant to work upon, we should
probably have obtained a very faulty
conception Of the animal.

DR.. Isaac Roberts, whose beautiful
photographs Of nebulae and star clus-
ters are we'll known, gives somewhat
startling account of the manner in
which the images Of faint stars and
nebulae disappear from the photo
graphic plates. On one Of his plates,
In 1856. he counted 403 stars; the same
plate in 1895 showed only 272 stars, the
images of 131 having entirely disap-
peared. This leads to the suggestion
that celestial photographs, in order to
be of permanent value, should be i'm
nediately reproduced by some process
yielding pictures not subject to change.

FRANK MOSS voUCHEs FOR THE LETTER
WHICH WAS WRITTEN BEFORE ITS
AUTHOR SAILED FOR EUROPE


Before sailing for Europe the Rev DR.. Charles
h Parkhurst wrote a letter TO Mayor Van
Wyck, interrogating him upon his connection
with the American Ice Company. He gave the
latter to Henry F. ParseH. to be delivered to the
Mayor If he should go on the witness stand in
the ice case. AS Mayor Van Wyck did not go
on the stand to offer his testimony Mr. Parseu
decided 70 make the latter public anyhow
Frank Moss, counsel for the Society for the
Prevention Of Crime. saw a copy of the letter
and said it was authoritative; that it had been
written by DR.. Parkhurst before he sailed
An effort was made to find Mayor Van wyck
both at his home and at the Democratic Club
The former place was dark and he had not been
to the club all evening
