FOSSIL OF BIG D1NosAUR.
Prehistoric Monsters Thigh Now
Visible in the Field Museum,


From the Chicago Timcs.Herald.
Think of thigh bone six feet ten
inches long! It is the femur of an
animal twenty feet high and seventy
five feet long, dinosaur that livel
100000 years or more ago. That thigh
bone has just been received at Field
Columbian Museum, and in discovering
1t Professor E. S. Riggs has won
great fame in the scientific world.
Professor Riggs and two assistants
spent three months in Colorado this
year and unearthed parts of the skele
ton remains Of three of the prehistoric
monsters. The dinosuur is the largest
animal known to the scientific world.
and the fossils brought to Chicago are
the remains of the largest animal Of
the kind ever discovered. That record
has been held for some time by a dino
saur in the Peabody museum at Yal"
college. Its thigh bone is eight inches
shorter than that of the Riggs dino
saur, and it's estimated length was only
siXty-five feet and it's height eighteen
feet.
The Chicagoans find is one of the
richest Of the kind ever made, for he
unearthed considerable part of the
skeleton of the mighty behemoth that
roamed through the marshes of Ameri-
ca ages before the Rocky Mountains
We're heaved UP. He found seven dorsal
vertebrae, representing, twelve feet of
the backbone, besides two joints of the
tail, equal to another two feet.
The body of the vetrebrae is about
fifteen inches in diameter but from the
lower edge to the top of the dorsal
spine 1t is nearly four feet, which
makes rather substantial backbone.
The collection also includes seven Of
the ribs of the dinosaurian, the largest
of which is feet inches long, and 8
inches wide. There are also two leg
bones and one-third of the pelvis. The
weight of the thigh bone alone Is es-
timated at 600 pounds.
Some scientific men think the dino
saur flourished between 1000, 900 and
100000 years ago. There have been
several geological periods since he was
In his heydey, and one of these eras
is represented by an earth formation
1000 to $500 feet thick. The animal
in question is supposed to have been
herbivorous. but Professor Riggs dis
covered the fossil remains of another
that he believes to be a specimen of
the flesh eating dinosaur that walked
on two legs like the kangaroo. OF this
animal he has seven joints of the neck,
thirteen of the back, a shoulder blade,
some ribs and several hip bones. He
also has some remains of third mons

material was assured by the govern
ment Of Ontario which granted large
concessions at small cost for atumpage.
But sulphurous acid Is also needed for
chemical pulp and the company asserts
that 1t Will have an independent sun
ply Of this useful chemical substance.
1t claims to have discovered a means
of procuring the material for its manu-
facture from the sulphuric substances
associated with the nickel mined at
Sudbury. It has therefore bought a
nickel mine and also large area OF
iron-bearing lands. For the first time
the sulphur obtained at Sudbury Is to
be utilized; and the nickel will be as
ISOLATED with the iron in the manufac-
ture at Sault Ste. Marie. For the first
time also the ores Of iron are to be re-
duced to steel by electricity; a part Of
the product will be nickel steel, the
toughest in the world, and much Of 1t
Will be used for making armor plate.
Meanwhile, vast works are in pro-
gress for the development Of more elec-
trical power. A canal on the Michigan
side Of the river, to give $4,000 horse
power, is nearly completed. A large
part Of this power has already been
secured by company producing alkalt
and another manufacturing carbide Of
calcium. The latter company already
has the largest carbide works in the
world, at Niagara Falls. Another canal
which Is expected to provide about
100000 horse power Is also being dug
on the Canadian side.
OF course it would not do to lower
the level Of Lake Superior by thus
facilitating the escape Of It's waters.
Every port on the lake would suffer,
and the governments Of the two couns
tries concerned would not permit such
an encroachment upon commercial
facilities. So work will begin this fall
on the construction Of q great stone
dam across the head of the rapids and
steel gates in the dam will admit the
waters to the canals only as fast as
it is required and without lowering the
lake level.
Thus the waters Of our great inland
sea are to be utilized for industrial
purposes and two particularly inter-
esting facts are to be noted. One Is
that the raw materials for these enter
prises are drawn from the surrounding
country. hitherto destitute of manu-
factures, and the wealth. producing
power of this vast region will thus be
greatly augmented The other is that
the waters thus usefully employed at
the foot of Lake Superior may be util-
lied again at Niagara Falls. They will
be compelled to do double work, and
they will not go on strike or demand
an eight-bour law.

The New York stock exchange sent
$1,000. Jones & Laughlins have con-
tributed $1,000. But without specialize
ing, 1t is noticed that the corporations
all over the country, in Rittshurg, in
New York, in Chicago, the steamship
companies. the manufacturing cons
panies, all opened their purses, and
the rule Is that the large contribu-
tions came from the much-denounced
concerns of big capital.
The chronic fault finder will have
plenty of excuses to offer for the
corporations liberal offerings. But
there is no factor in the business world1
that can he more Indifferent to doins}
things for effect than corporation !
1t has to defy so much public opinion
that it can defy more II it chooses and
still survive. 1t is honest and sensi-
BILE to face the facts. Corporations are
conducted by men who are as sympa-
thetic and charitable as men in other
occupations, and the generosity of the
corporations gives the lie to the acI
cusation that a corporation is without
concern when the welfared of the peoj
pie Is at stake.

Immense quantities Of water have
tumbled every hour for ages over the
sandstone ledges at Sault Ste. Marie
in undignified haste to leave the great
est of lakes and join the humber HUI
ron. Here We're built the American
and Canadian canals that carry more
tonnage of freight every year than
any others. 1t is estimated that II
takes about one one -thousandth part
of the escaping waters of Lake Su-
perior to operate the locks in these
canals. 1t occurred to Eastern capi-
talists, few years ago, .&lat it would
be good idea to utilize the rushing
waters not needed by the traffic canals
to generate electrical power. Before
very long the idea took form in the
shape of a canal which keeps a lot
of turbines so busy that they supply
10000 horse power of electrical energy
operating the largest wood pulp mill
In the world. Its annual product sells
for 100000 a year; and this Is only
the beginning of the work which the
power of st. Mary's Rapids is expected
to do.
With the possibility of developing
vast power at this place, the COM
pany began to look around for raw
materials to turn into useful products.
When power is secured ii is natural
to scan the neighborhood for stuffs to
be transformed by it into marketable
commodities. 1t was found that vast
forests of spruce stretch away east and
west and as far north as Hudson Bay.
This is the ideal timber for paper
making and the company decided to
go into the business of manufacturing
not only mechanical wood pulp which
is produced in the mill now operating,
but also sulphite or chemical pulp
which is worth nearly twice as much
a ton. The sulphite mill is Slow nearly
completed and its product win be
worth Sl.50o.000 year.

INTERESTING SCHOOL PLANS.
The Chicago Institute Places Great
Stress Upon It's Museum.

Some unique features characterize
the new museum of the Chicago In
stitute. One of them is a work on
which it's maker, a Frenchman, spent
several thoughtful years. 1t repre-
sents in twenty-one daily stages. the
development of the chicken in the egg.
and is perfect in every detail. The in
ventor of this novel object lesson
shows the work through openings In
eggshells.
In the same character of exhibits are
several perfectly prepared dissections,
preserved in spirits. Of the rat. the
crayfish, the snake and the lizard,
showing the whole system with every
artery and blood vessel complete. De-
velopments of the common June bug,
snakes and fish of all kinds, through
every stage Of their growth, are also
contained in this section.
The chief aim of the museum is to
demonstrate evolutionary processes,
and most of the exhibits have been Sc
lected for this purpose. One of the
most interesting and instrrl i've colec-
tions shows the protection of insects
through both coloration and mimicry.
Hundreds of butterflies and bugs are
mounted on twigs. leaves, bark and
lichens and SO closely do they resemble
the objects they rest upon that 1t is
hard to find them even after long
search. There are moths that fold up
to initiate a perfect leaf on stem
and others that are so similar In shape
and color to rose thorns that 1t Is
impossible to tell them apart.
The idea of protection by mimicry
Is also shown in detail. A species Of
butterfly nauseous to birds and there
fore free from their attacks is imitat-
ed in coloring exactly by another spec
les that has nothing of the same nat
ural protection. Many specimens of
harmless blow flies are shown side by
side with bumblebees and wasps. and
in coloring and shape are exactly like
them.
Another section of the museum is de-
voted to engagements of plants and
flowers worked in gelatin and so big

are also gelatin models of bacilli OF
tuberculosis and diphtheria. enlarged
