Prof. William B. Scott, Ph. d.
Of Princeton university, lectured
at the art gallery the ether even

Great Argentine Fossil Beds oi
South America" says the Brook.
Ign Eagle. Prof. Scott visited
these beds in connection with the
various expeditions sent out By
Princeton, making his last trip
last season, so the information
that he brought was the latest. In
addition to the discovery of fossil
remains the expedition discovered
that the southern Andes are Of
much later geological date than
has heretofore been supposed
the PllOcene; that Patagonia pre-.
sents the appearance of a prehis-
tOric POmpeii in that it is covered
with volcanic ash in the same way.
The beds are wonderfully rich
in fossils. Before the bridge was
erected between the American
continents animal life In South
America was much like that OF
Australia, but when Central
America was formed the northern
animals migrated and some of the
migrants existed much longer In
their new home than in the north.

A strange thing about many OF
these strange looking skeletons
was the fact that their tusks were
formed of the incisors instead of
the canine teeth. In many cases
the latter are extremely small. 1t
requires great care to get the fos-
sils out of the surrounding bed
and generally the material inn
%mediately investing the object is
very hard, being composed Of vol
canic ASH and go per cent of car
Donate of lime, probably the de-
post of rain-water. Another
striking observation was that fos.
sils found in Santa Cruz beds are
small, while those found in tho
Pampean are large.

These decisions show oonclusively
that congress intended that each and

there IS no oc aston for the prov ision
as the fourteenth amendment to the
Federal constitution provides for
equal privileges ON the part Of ne
groes with whites. and as the courts
have universally hell under that
amendment that separate schools was
sufficient compliance. the provision
in the Hamilton bill, by the settled
rule of construction means that con
gsess is dissatisfied with such con
struction and desires that the schools
be- mixed and not separate in the new
state 10 be created.
The bill provides for a colored ag.
ricultural and normal university, max
ing provision for separation Of the
races in this particular instance, and
not making provision for such separa
tion in the common public schools
means that such separation can not
be mad in the common public schools
AS a lawyer you are familiar with
