changes among back-boned animals,
not only of our continent, but else
where; 1t saw the disappearance of the
great frog and salamander-like amphib-
ians, and the coming of dinosaurs and
marine reptiles. Turtles made their
appearance, and the strange, mammal
like reptiles, the anomodonts, ran their
course, passed across the stage, and
went out Of existence. Most important
Of all events that took place in the
Triassic period was the advent Of
mammals, and, while these We're no
larger than rats, and seem to have had
many features in common with their
anomodont associates, they marked the
coming Of the highest of all groups OF
animals. No period Of time, before or
since, has witnessed such a complete
revolution in the life Of the globe. The
vegetation, too, vas changing; those
giant, overgrown moses, which had
waned in the carboniferous, practically
disappeared with the Permian, while
ferns and cycads increased and con-
Tiers appeared in numbers. The world
had changed, our continent had in
creased in size, and the close Of the
Trias looked upon a new landscape,
peopled by a new race of beings.

RAGING ON
THE JAND,
A NEW sport
BY Day Allen Wiley.

YT HE eastern coast of Florida,
between Daytona and Or
monde includes a stretch of
sand which is about thirty
miles in length and remarkable
for it's smooth and hard sur
face. 1t is SO firm that it is utilized
as a boulevard by horse vehicles of
various kinds and by automobiles,
bicycles, and by what are locally
termed "sand-sailers." During the win
ter season, when the resorts mentioned
are largely patronized, nearly every va
riety Of vehicle operated by steam or
gasoline can be cen upon the beach.
The photographs show a collection Of
the various automobiles which have
been used here during the past winter.
They include not only a break, but run
abouts Of various kinds. In the picture
are no less than seven different kinds
of autos, including the motor bicycle.
The "sand-sailers" consist of a frame
work spread on three bicycle wheels,
to which is attached an ordinary spirit
sail. The rear wheel is used to steer
the "eraft," and it can be operated
quite close to the wind, while in run
ming before the wind it frequently at
tains a very high speed. Some of the
bicyclists who use the beach for a
course have fitted up sails which are

A Remnant of Old Newgate.

The most notorious part of the whole
structure-and which yet reamins-was
the press yard. Here it was that peine
forte ct dure was inflicted upon prison
ers charged with felony who with the
view of saving their property from
confiscation, refused to plead at the
bar. This dreadful punishment Of be-
ing pressed to death was, however,
abolished In 1772. A Major Strang-
ways, who was indicted for murder.
having refused to plead, was con-
demned to this savage peine forte ct

many Of those who witnessed the
dreadful sight threw stones at him to
hasten his end.-Chambers's Journal.

Anneased the Relic Hunters.

The people of Cambridge, Mass.
are jealous for the historic traditions
Of their city. They preserve all relics
with the utmost care, and where ne
visible sign remains they put up 9
tablet. Some of these, such as the
stone stating that Near this spot
once stood the elm under which Long
fellows village blacksmith has his
smithy,' may amuse an occasional If
reverent New Yorker, but this, OF
course, is nothing to the Cambridge
man, who takes his town with much
more seriousness than he is disposed
to bestow upon the Philistine metro
polls. The Washington elm is regard
de by him with especial reverence; 6
fenced-in offshoot of the original tree
flourishes in the common, and the de
caying limbs of the parent are nursec
into a Fictitious longevity.
When a large body of Christian En-
deavorers was about to meet in Cam
bridge, the city fathers consulted to
gether as to the means Of saving thell
sacred tree from relic hunters. A
plan was hit upon. The visitors were
requested to carry away only such por
lions of the elm as had fallen to the
ground, and to supply the demand, alot
Of twigs from neighboring trees were
strewn under the hictoric elm. The
plan worked to the satisfaction Of al
concerned, for the unsuspecting En-
deavorers bore off their relics.-NeW

of the stage, long since forgotten, for
our d~eleetation. Head down and tail
exposed is the way that anomodont
known as "Embolophorus dollovianus"
was discovered. The strata was slight
~ inclined and composed of peculiarly
refractory cement Of iron and sand,
which made the extraction of the bones
a matter of extreme difficulty and pa
tience.
Patience ultimately had it's reward
and the specimen proved to be nearly
automatically complete, the only parts
lacking being the ribs and part of the
feet, which were present in other speci-
mems of the same animal. The restora-
ton here shown was made after n most
careful study, measurement and COM
parison with all bones of like creatures.
The body is drawn somewhat elevated
from the ground. At first it seemed
probable that the belly was dragged
on the ground, but an attempt to place
the bones of the fore limb in such a no.
sition showed such not to have been
the case with the animal. The tail
would naturally seem to have been
pretty long. if for no other reason than
to preserve the symmetry of the ami
NAL, but the bones prove otherwise.

must have been about the size of a
pony, only of vastly different appear
