B0AST
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
OF LARGEST SPECIMEN OF
FOSSIL ANIMAL.
Individual In Possession of That lnsti-
tuition Said To Have Been About
Seventy Feet Long In Life and To
Have Had Two Sets of Brains.

Professors of the University of Chi
cage who are also connected with the
Field Columbian museum are restor'
ing one of the largest specimens of fos-
sill animal that ever lived in the history
OF the world. says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Prof. Oliver c. Harrington said
yesterday that the remains now in pos
session of the museum, are the most
valuable of their kind in existence.
The creature is known to scientists
as the upper Jurassic dinosaur OF the
genus Brontosaurus. 1t was discover
ed in the Rocky mountains neal Fruita
in the western part OF Colorado.
The possession OF a brain in the pei
Wis is one of the very peculiar attributes
ofthis huge dinosaur, according to Prof
Harrington. In fact, the animal had
two brains to direct its movements.
The small brain in the dinosaurs
skull" said Prof. harrington yesterday
was not sufficient to serve as the
clearing house for all OF its impulses.
Therefore, another brain, consisting
OF a huge enlargement of the spinal
cord, was provided in the pelvis."
The Colorado dinosaur, the professor
adds, was about seventy feet in length,
or a little longer thar the ordinary rail.
way coach. It's hind legs were some
thing like twelve feet long, and the
front legs two or more feet shorter.
That part of the tail which is preserv-
ed is about eighteen feet in length, al
though several of the smaller v%ertebra
have not yet been placed in position.
The total weight of the dinosaur is es-
timated to have been nineteen ons.
The theories of one of the best
known scientists in the world were up
set by the finding of the bones, TO- in
the professors hands, Prof. o. c..
Marsh of Yale university, who discoV-
er.a the front part of a similar but
smaller creature, having estimated the
number of ribs to be fourteen. I'VE
have found the actual number to be
only ten said Prof. harrington, This
dinosaur never could have supported
the weight of its internal organs if its
spine had been long enough for four
teen ribs"
When completed the dinosaur will
have cost the museum authorities at
least 5000.

REMARKABLE TRAIT
DEVELOPED BY A TWELVE-YEAR-
OLD PORT JARVIS
GIRL.
Able To Increase the Appointed
Weight Of Her Own Body-Men
Lame Their Arms Trying to Lift
Her from the Floor-Can Control
New Power at Will.

Port Jervis, N. Y, Feb. 26.-Stella
Lundelius. the 12-year-old daughter OF
A.. Lundelius. a photographer of this
| place, has the remarkable faculty of
being able to increase the apparent
weight of her own body. This power
was first notice by her father when she
was a child, just able to stand alone.
Mr.. Lundelius observed hat under
certain conditions the exertion requir-
ed to lift her was greater than under
ordinary circumstances. One day
while sitting in his chair. with the child
standing on the floor by his legs, Mr..
Lundelius discovered that by putting
his finger on the back of the neck of a
person who attempted to pick up the
babe there was a resistance power
which held the child to the floor. At
the time he believed this power eman-
ated from himself.
Since then the child has been the
subject of much experiment by persons
DESTROYS of testing ner power. By SIM
ply placing her hand in contact with
one who attempts the lifting she ap-
%parently brings to play some mystic
force which neutralizes the uplifting
pressure he brings to bear, and in spite
of his utmost efforts her feet remain
on the floor as though fastened there
by clamps.
In one experiment tried the lifting
power of several men was exerted in
vain to lift the child. The effect was
as if the weight of her slender little
body had been multiplied many times.
c. o. Young made a test of the child's
power. On the first trial the child in
terposed no resistance and was easily
lifted. On the second the resisting in
nuence was brought into play, with the
result that his full strength was I'M
able to move her, although her weight
then was only 60 pounds.
Other persons have tested these
wonderful powers, and Benjamin F.
La Rue of Paterson suffered lame arms
for three days after his vain effort to
lift the girl. One feature of this
little girls peculiar power is the ability
to overcome the law of gravitation to
such an extent as makes it easy for
any person to remove heavy articles
Of furniture. When Stella places her
hand upon a piano the heavy instru-

More About the Public Roads and The
Holes Therein.

Editor Leader:-I wish to heart
lily second what has been said in
recent issues of The Leader on the
dereliction of the county road con
tractors. Their failure to keep
the roads in passable condition and
to fill bad mud holes that were a
menace to teams and wagons for
weeks at time, deserves the
severest censure. A number of
bad holes have been on the Brook
haven and Union Church road for
months. In my own experience
in going to and from Brookhayen
| had great difficulty in getting
over the road with half load; and
in one instance, carried an ak to
cut way through the timber,
around these bad holes, and one
trip had to go mile or more out
of my way. This VIGOROUSLY bad
hole was at the 5 mile board. 1t
has lately been patched up some,
but a little rain would make it
almost as bad as ever.
People from other parts of tie
county seem to be having pretty
much the same trouble as people
do who live on this road.
do not know who is most to
blame for this bad state of affairs,
but | think that the blame rests
jointly between the road contrac-
tors, the Board of Supervisors and
the county road commissioner.
If County Road Commissioner
Montgomery has made any special
effort to remedy the bad condition
complained of on the Brookhaven
and Union Church road, | am un-
aware of it, and have not heard of
his making visit lately to this
section of the county, to inspect
the roads, or reporting the bad
condition of affairs to the contrac-
tor or the board; neither have |
heard of the board bringing suit
on any of the bonds of the contrac-
tors, though this has several times
been threatened, as sort of bluff.
| am in favor of the contract
system and hope there will never
be return to the old system; but
there certainly ought to be a bet
ter administration of the present
law and enforcement of the con-
tracts than the people are getting.

of builder of castles in the air.
While other people talk of what

Witness the present addition

That middle building" seemed
like a speck on the far off hol lion;
when, 10! it appears under the
presidents magic touch, and
another long felt want is filled be-
fore we are aware. 1t may not be
as pretentious a building as some
desired; but it will amply suffice
for the present.
CaIisthenics Hall has been con-
verified into quite a handsome
audience room. Stage fixtures
and furnishings have been added
and the walls kalsomined; and
other Improvements will yet be
