Ages back, long before man or the
warm-blooded animals existed, this
uncouth beast roamed in and around
the borders of the great tropical lake
now covered by New Mexico, Califor
mia, Wyoming, Montana and the Da,
kotas.
In the bed of the lake he sank and
was buried deep away from the des-
tructive work of the elements and the
land tlesh-eating animals. Dame Ma
ture by piling on top of him success
sive layers Of sediment thoroughly
protected the monster for these mil
lions of years, until erosion and the
pick of the scientist have brought
forth the skeleton from it's rocky
tomb.
The great lake basin slowly filled up
with sediment, but remained a lake so
long that the deposits formed in it.
during the Eocene period reached
vertical thickness of more than a mile,
AT present the basin. changed to
rock, is six to eight thousand feet
above ocean level.
The brontosaurus was slowly NOV
ing reptile, as is indicated by the very
small head and brain, and was wholly
without armor, having no offensive
weapons of any kind His legs were
eight to ten feet in length and were
strong and massive He had a long
and powerful tail, and while he was
an aquatic monster, it is certain that
on land at times he assumed an erect
position. The physical conditions
were about the same as exist today in
tropical America. A moist and warm
climate was the kind that suited the
brontosaurus. 1t appears that he fire.
quently took to the land in search Of
food, but water life afforded this
comparatively helpless creature tho
greatest protection from the other
large fiesh-eating animals who lived
on land at the same time.

skeleton of the Brontosaurus, the
largest animal that ever lived, has
been obtained by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History Of New York.
The skeleton is ages old, 100000
years, according to some biologists,
for the Brontosaurus lived in the Gre
taceus period, when reptiles ruled the
earth, long before man and mammals
made their appearance or the earth as
sumed its present external form.
The Brontosaurus was gigantic
lizard seventy feet long. His name is
formed from two Greek words mean
ing thunder lizard" This name has
been given because some scientists be-
lieve that the animal made noise like
thunder when he walked-not an I'M
reasonable supposition.
1t is gratifying to know that the
Brontosaurus is an American. He and
his friends lived in and about a great
tropical lake where Wyoming and adj
Jacent states now are. Thus the Am
erican reputation for big things goes
on growing.
Extraordinary interest is attached to
this find from the fact that it is the
largest and most nearly complete
skeleton so far found of this creature.
Heretofore only fragmentary parts
have been brought to light. There
fore it is considered one of the most
valuable contributions to the knowl-
edge of the primeval world that is in
existence.
The following are the actual
measurements of this monster, which

from the Ohio river, distance of
thirty miles, the canal was abandoned,
and an industry which promised great
returns in the neighborhood was kill
ed. After improving the old furnace
and practically rebuilding it, William
Mckinley, ST., made the effort of his
life, but it did not pay, and the next
move of the couple was out of the
county into an adjoining one, where.
at Niles, the president was born.
The famous old house stands today,
occupied by an eccentric old man,
named N. Broughten, who at the adj
vanced age of IS years shaves him
self and walks mile and half into
Lisbon daily.
The structure is built of rock-faced
buff stones, contains four large, square
rooms and wide hall on the first
floor, and the same number of apart
ments above. The upstairs rooms are
rather low-ceiled, but withal the
house is comfortable, having broad
.fireplaces in each room, which are
used by the Broughtens today for
heating. In the kitchen is mammoth
fireplace, six feet four inches high and
about eight feet wide. 1t is so capa-
cious that large-sized man can walk
in without removing his hat. The
! identical iron crane and kettle chain,
large and heavy enough to swing an
OK, used by President Mckinley S
mother, are still fixtures in the old
house. The place gives evidence OF
having been in an early day quite a
pretentious abode The walls are now
covered with cheap, but clean wall
paper, which gives the room an invit'
ing appearance.
In this old place, says the Philadel'
phia Record, President Mckinley:
mother first stepped as bride, and ;
few years ago number of old settlers
living in and about Lisbon gathered
there and told how they knew tn
presidents mother, before he wa
born, and how they had often beef
guests at the hospitable home of Will
liam Mckinley, Sr. In this place sew
eral of the Mckinley children wer
born. The house to-day is Mecca TO-
tourists of eastern Ohio.

Museum has for several years past
had staff of trained investigators in
the field hunting for specimens. An
other notable recent find was that of
the little three-toed horse, the ances-
tor of the modern animal. The mighty
Brontosaurus, however, eclipses all
previous discoveries, and is arousing
universal interest among the general
public and scientific students.
The life habits of this monster and
the manner of it's finla determination
