HUNTING THE FOSSIL.

Especial Correspondence.
LARAMIE, wy, Feb. H. The wonder
ful fossil fields that extend from the
| gulf Of Mexico to the Canadian line are
a source OF never failing interest to
prehistoric bone hunters. Recent dis
coyerics III Wyoming. Colorado and
Texas have set the scientists to work
With renewed rigcr digging up that
vast hu1syiisg ground of the monsters
that inhabited the region in bygone
ages.
New fields are continually being dis
covered. and the Rocky mountain
states Ia particular are yielding treas
tres that are attracting the attention
Of the scientific world. An expedition
from the United states National muse
um has dlscoycred evidence that the
three toed horse once lived in Texas,
and a ssinlar expedition is searching
for traces Of the little animal in eastern
Colorado.
WyoEling contains some of the Oldest
and most famous Of prehistoric grave
yards OF the west and has furnished
the petriled remains OF some Of the
largest land nnilnaIs that ever lived.
AS early as 1877 Professor Marsh Of
Yale began systematic exploration
and kept field parties continually at
work in the state The crowning result
of his labor WIS the discovery Of the
rorId famous dinesaur In the Laramie
region by Professor Reed of Wyoming
university.
Professor Reed estimates that when
the animal was alive it must have
weighed sixty TONS Its neck was 80
feet long and its tail was 60 feet lis
ribs are 8 feet In length, and the cavity
Of it's body would make a hall "a feet
long. 10 feet wide and 12 feet high.
steak cut from the ham of this animal
would have been at least IL feet in
diameter or more than 3b feet in cir
cuinference and confined a solid bone
IA inches through. It's head was only
as large as a ten gallon keg, and the
brain did not exceed i've pounds in
weight
Fossil hunting is beset with enor-
nous QllucultieS. MOI Only Is specidt
scientific training required. but the
hunter must possess courage, persist
ence and hardihood to d marked de
gree. The best fields are often In wild,
unwatered districts where even the
cactus refuses to grow. A collector
must carry his supplies, and the
chances are that he will find himself
with an empty cdnteen and water
many miles away. Then he faces the
greatest danger Of that country-death
from thirst.
The born and trained collector Is not
only a naturalist. but a geologist. He
knows the color Of the rocks in which
fossils are likely to be found and is
quick to discover a bone protruding
