experiment, believing that it was the
sudden transfer from the dollhouse to
me drawing room that caused them TO

she began with two or three very
young palms bought from a nursery

FLYING REPTILES OF OLD.
OF Great Size, They Were Once More
Common Than Birds.

common taan Birds.
From st. Nicholas: We are apt to
think OF reptiles as creeping and crawl
ing things. forgetting that there was a
time when flying reptiles were more
common than birds. These reptiles, the
pterodactyls, or flying dragons, not
only flew, but some OF them reached a
size much greater thar that of any
bird, for the largest birds do not fy
The South American condor sometimes
measures as much as ten and one-haif
feet from tip to tip Of outstretched
wings, and 1t is quite possible that the
fines examples OF the aIbatross may
measure a little more, But the great
pterodactyls which few about the sea
that in the days OF old reached from
the Gulf Of Mexico to the Rocky noun
tains, measured as much as twenty
feet, the width OF an average city lot,
across their wings.
Most of us have seen an eagle flying,
and we can appreciate the size Of this
ancient dragon by remembering that it
was nearly three times the size of an
eagle. It was not, however, three times
as heavy, for the body of this strange
reptile was so small and its skeleton so
wonderfully light hat the entire ami
ma IS thought to have weighed not
more h a twenty-five pounds, or only
about as much as a large condor. Ona
OL the largest bones OF the wing, W.
feet long n two inches through, was.
as Professor Wiiliston tells us, no
thicker han II sheet of plotting paper,
arsi the great head, with a beak over
three feet long. was equally light, This
great toothless beak is believed to have
been used for swapping Up fishes, and
we can imagine this huge creature sail
ing swiftly over the sea, now and then
swooping down TO pick up q fish as
deftly. for all Its size, az a real swal-
low.
But what did Ornithostoma-thfs is
the animals name-do with his wings
and beak when he made an occasional
visit TO the land? One would think they
must have been very much in his way.
and that the animal was as awkward
on the shore as he was graceful In the
air. And how did he start to fly? With
such enormous wings, we think Orni-
t1ostoma must have dweIt on cliffs
about the sea and launched off them as
the gannets do from Bird Rock. This
great flying reptile lived some six mil
Hon years GO; the sea over which It
flew long g disappeared. and the
mud into which It's bones sank be
came chalk. and from the formation of
these great chalk beds the time at
which 0rnithoStoma existed is called
the Cretaetous period.

Milwaukee Wisconsin: One OF the last
survivors OF the enemtes Of the Sioux Is
4e-On-Gesic, now passing mis- hundredth
birthday. Eighty-tlve years ago the Sioux
tribe, which invaded tho west and entered
me plains OF Iowa and Dakota, sought TO
dislodga the Chippewas from the timbered
country in minnesota and Wisconsin. They
nearly accomplished this Undertaking, ow-
ing 10 overwhelming nuEpbe They made
frequent tnCursions into the Chippewa
country and many ~sanguinary battles
we're fought, eliminating in the massacre
by the Sioux of~setrlers in southern Min
nesota In 1852.
Sixty years ago ye-On-Gesic was a ia
nous CHIEF and warrior OF the Chippewa
tribe, and he tells the writer OF the last
great battle with the enemy west Of the
mississippi river. He says:
1T was when we were encarnped on the
Yellow, Bone and Devils lakes that quite
a large party Of Sioux were reported COM
ing up the Yellow river from the st. Crolx
10 battle aith the ~Chippewas. Our chiefs
believed they were only scouts sent for
ward to r~econnoiter. At that time I was
an amateur warrior. When the enemy
was reported within the country 7 was
given charge of q band Of young men
numbering ~forty-nine and directed :. IN

proudest moment OF my life.
WITH the young Chlppewas under my
command I started down the Yellow r!v-

venture. For VIZ days we watched for
the enemy. but saw no signs. On the
morning OF the third day my scouts re-
ported 4 large war party Of Sioux Just
landed south Of Yellow lake. within an
hour my men had been surrounded.
Suddenly I gave the Chippewa war crv.
and the Battle began. It was a terrible
battle, lasting until the sun was high IN

in the woods. My party numbered Iess
