 BONES OF A sTEGosAUR.


 Another Discovery in the Bone Beds
 Near Canyon City.
 Professor J. B. Hatcher, in camp
 near Canyon City, has discovered the remains of another fossil animal in the famous bone beds of that section. Canyon City has been noted among ge- ologists on account of the discovery of the remains of prehistoric animals. Professor Hatcher's latest find Is a stegosaur an animal which had a smaller brain than any other creature that ever existed. At the same time its body was of enormous ,size. The Hatcher party Is working under the auspices of the Carnegie Museum of | Pittsburg, and the fossils that have been found are shipped to that place. There have been changes In the style | and character of the bone hunting ex- | petitions as well as of other methods of | scientific work, In years past the pa- l leont ologists were not unwilling to the orize on their discoveries. The anato- mists were ready to reconstruct from | one fragment of bone the whole skee- | ton of an animal. Now they restore | bones, but every portion that is built up is so carefully marked that there can be no misunderstanding as to which part is genuine. None of the anatomists and none of the paleontolo- gists will venture opinions or theories in recent years until certain conditions have been complied with When expe- ditions, find evidence of fossils the greatest care is taken to have the fos- sils uncovered first for photographs, and the photographing is continued at all stages of the disinterment.
 Some years ago when Professor George Cannon discovered the first re- mains of the famous horned dinosaurs near Denver, Professor Marsh and oth- CTS who were supposed to be authori- ties on the subject laughed at his claims Professor Marsh said that any person who said that such an animal or reptile as was claimed for that din- osaur skull ever existed must be the victim of nightmare or suffering from the digestion of bone hunting camp. At the same time the big sci entists claimed that the skull Professor Cannon fou1fd was that of species of buffalo. As the fossil was embedded in sandstone and in a formation which denoted another period of the worlds hist ory when there was no such an an- imal as the buffalo, Professor Cannon battled with the giants and later they all acknowledged their error. Since that episode paleontologists have given l over being sure of anything. The stegosaur was the most remark | able of the sauropods. It proved to be | the feature of the herbivorous forms. of ] animals. The type speci- men or the first remains of the stego- saur was found in the Denver section Others have been found in Wyoming. { Imagine an animal covered with an ar nor that would put rhinoceros to shame that was more than twenty feet in length from top of snout to the tip of it's tail, with slender elongated head averaging about four inches long.

IMMENSE NEW YORK HOTELS.
One of Them Equals a Town of Three

One of Them Equals a Town of Three
 Thousand People
 If one of New York's big modern ho-
 tels could be whieked to the countdy
 and spread out in village formation, the
 result would be a model proprietary | town of about three thousand inhabi- l tants, One-half of these inhabitants 1 would work. in relays night and day, | for the comfort and entertainment of | the other half, whose obligation would be the payment of the bills, which, in | the aggregate would represent, in ad- dition to the running expenses and per-
 haps two hundred thousand dollars a year set aside for the proprietor'e prof it's, the interest on fifteen million dol lars invested in land, buildings and fur nishings. Many cities cannot muster tax list of fifteen million dollars, so
 that this town would be conspicuous
 above all others for wealth, and in
 completeness of the details that make
 the material side of life joy it would
 be unrivaled. Some of it's houses would
 be constructed for one family exclu- sively, and others would be arranged in single rooms and in suites. All would
 be furnished in the most luxurious fashion; In the central warehouse of the towns steward would be found q greater assortment of supplies for the cuisine than in any public market in the world. There would be a row of cook-shops, each devoted to the prepa- ration of a special course, ranging from the soups and entrees and roasts to the pastries and coffee. There would be half a dozen big banquet t-rooms and bathrooms, several music-rooms, and well-appointed theater or two. The town would have. of course, tele- graph office, a complete telephone sys- tenn, and some means of rapid transit to every house. Enormous boilers would supply the heat, and an electric light plant would furnish the illumi- nation. There would be an ice plant large enough to manufacture fifty tons a day. There would be silversmith. blacksmith and tinsmith shops. foritss, hairdressing-rooms for men and wo- men. Turkish baths, upholstery and furniture shops, decorators and seam a steam laundry, messenger service, a printing office a wine cellar. with half a million dollars worth of l choice vintages, and club-h house with billiard and reading-rooms and cafes l The town would be policed day and i night by dozen private detectives, \ and it would have a well-trained fire department There would be a bank. over whose counters would pass mil ions of dollars each year, and a cen- tral executive office, with scores of clerks and book-keepers and auditors.

smaller brain than any other anima that ever lived on earth The principa 1 part of it's brain was in it's sacrum ! This posterior chamber, in which the | principal part of the animals brain
 was contained, was formed by the en- I largement of the spinal canal and was
 bone cavity resembling in great 1 respect the skull This rear brain cav | ity was just twenty times larger than | that in front.
 1 The stegosaur was not fighting creature It had small cerebellum but with optic nerves and olfactory organs enlarged beyond the average for its size. Such creature had it's protection in this unusual sense of sight and smell Its teeth-were small
 and of character which showed that it lived entirely on vegetation. The
 dermal armor of the stegosaur was its
 safeguard from the attacks of animals.
 The small head was covered in front
 with long, bony beak; the throat with
 thick skin, in which were embedded
 large number of horny protuberances.
 A series of vertical plates extended
 above the neck, along it's back and for
 two thirds of the length of its tall
 These plates ranged from seventy-six to forty-f1ve inches in width. The pa leontologists fail to guess their use. In fact. they admit that they would never have believed them possible on an animal had they not been found on the fossil remains and in place. They figure that the largest of the plates were the animals weapons of attack. To make them effective the brute must have fought backward, as they were all situated on the posterior part of the body.
 The stegosaur had small feet and it's tail was of such strength and magni- tude that it could stand on it like the kangaroo. The size of the leg bones shows that it's means of locomotion were slow. The weight of the spines and the plates and the other armor must have been enormous, the bulk of the animal being figured at many tons. These creatures inhabited the section which is now Denver when the climate was of tropical nature and the coun- try mass of sluggish lakes.
 This new discovery is of interest just now owing to the fact that many of the best geologists of the country met in convention in Denver recently. One of the places to which an expedition was planned during the session was the bone bed country around Canyon City and also that of Grand Junction. where a party of the bone hunters from the Field Columbian Museum is now at work.-Denver Republican.

land. Tn this movement leading part
 has been taken by a highly educated
 Maori chief, who is devoting his life
 to the instructing and training of his
 countrymen in the laws of sanitation
 and the conditions that make for a
 healthy and happy life. MT. A. T.
 Ngata is a full blooded Maori, who,
 having been primarily taught in na- tive schools. won his way to an Auck-
 land secondary seminary and then to
 the university, eventually taking the
 dipolamas of MA. and LLB., and | thereafter qualifying as barrister.
 He is one of the finest types of an educated Maori. and for the last two years has been travelling through the native settlements, featuring on social reform
 A definite scheme has now been in augurated for the university education of Maori youthss as well as for the | training of Maori girls in nursing, and | the scheme has been already partly carried into effect by the Education | Department. The government is talk ing steps to establish three technical schools for the natives, one in the Waikato, another on the east coast, and third in the Hokianga district. The school movement for girls has brought into notice another fine speci- men of the race--the Rev. F. A. Ben nett fully-ordained clergyman, 8 man of powerful intellect and great force of character. He is half caste and grandson of the late Rev. Dr. J. H. Bennett, once Registrar-General of the colony. On his mothers side he claims direct descent from Tuta- nekai and Hinemoa, the hero and hero inc of the Maori Leander legend. MT Bennett owes his success ih measure to his voice, for on one occasion Bishop Suter, of Nelson, when visiting the Hot Lakes district, was struck with his singing of Maori song, and forthwith took MT. Bennett back to Nelson, and there educated him.
 Much superstition still exists raong the island tribes where European in- fluences have scarcely reached and the Tohungas, or medicine men, are still responsible for the loss of many lives. For instance, they insist on cold water immersion for all fevers for consump- ticn, and other ailments, while another danger arises from the liking of the natives for low-lying lands near the river beds. where food may be easily obtained and cultivated. Sanitary precautions are quite dispensed with, and the only wonder is that disease has not claimed more victims and by this time virtually eAterminated the race.-Pall Mall Gazette,

MAORIS.

The census of New Zealand shows an encouraging increase of the Maori population, and the fact has given quite an impetus to the efforts now being made to improve the condition of the race. As was anticipated, the royal visit has given a most favorable start to a project for the education and training of Maori girls. and the Duch- ess of Cornwall and York won golden opinions by her consent to lay the foundation stone of the school at Auck-
