REIGN OF THE DINosAUR.
Giant Reptiles Ceased Almost Stimuli
taneously the World Over.

From the Century.
Never in the whole history of the world
as we now know it have there been such
remarkable land scenes as were present
ed when the reign of these titanic reptlles
was at it's climax. 1t was also the pre-
vailing life picture of England, Germany,
South America and India. We can I'M
agine herds of these creatures from fifty
to eighty feet in length, with limbs and
gait analogous to those of gigantic ele-
plants, but with bodies extending through
the long, flexible and tapering necks into
the diminutive heads and reaching back
into the equally long and still more taper
ing tails. The four or five varieties which
existed together were each fitted to some
special mode of life; some living more
exclusively on land, others for longer
periods in the water.
The competition for existence was not
only with the great carniVorous dino
saurs, but with the other kinds of herb
ivorous dinosaurs (the 1guanodonts),
which had much smaller bodies to sus-
tain and a much superior tooth mecha-
nism for the taking of food.
The cutting off of this giant dinosaur
dynasty was nearly, if not quite, stimuli
taneous the world over. The explanation
which is deducible from similar catastro-
Plies to other large types of animals is
that a very large frame with limited
and specialized set of teeth fitted only to
certain special food is a dangerous COM
bination of characters. Such monster
organism is no longer adaptable; any
serious change of conditions which would
tend to eliminate the special food would
also eliminate these great animals as
necessary consequence.
There is an entirely different class Of
explanations, however, to be considered,
which are consistent both with the con-
tinued fitness of structure of the giant
dinosaurs themselves, and with the sur
vival of their especial food; such, for ex-
ample, as the introduction of new
enemy more deadly even than the great
carnivorous dinosaurs Among such theo
ries the most ingenious is that of the late
Prof. Cope, who suggested that some of
the small, inoffensive and inconspicuous
forms of Jurassic mammals of the size
of the shrew and the hedgehog contract
ed the habit of seeking out the nests of
these dinosaurs, gnawing through the
shells of their eggs and thus destroying
the young. The appearance or evolution
OF any destroying animals, whether
reptiles or mammals, which could attack
this great race at such a defenseless point
would be rapidly followed by it's extinction.

Insomnia as q Profession.

FROM the New 1ork Mail.
When you say to your doctor, II haven't
slept wink for forty-eight hours" he
probably smiles family and sympathetical-
ly. His reply will depend on his character
and position. If he has fewer patients than
he wants, and is naturally complaisant, he
will say, TOO bad! Wen see if we can't
remedy that" If he has more patients
law, he will say, Come, come! You sleep
more than you think you do"
But when a man says. II haven't slept
wink for ten years, and don't intend or
expect to sleep for the next ten years." we
imag CINE that even the struggling young ply
stefan who always believes what his patients
tell him will answer with the gruff old
doctors expression of incredulty. This is
to sleep, he decided not to sleep. And now
he has turned his sleeplessness into a
means of fame and fortune. He is going
to keep awake, under medical supervision,
for a $4,000 purse. He proposes to make
himself the champion ong-distance vigilist.
If he succeeds, a new and profitable &C.
cupation will open itself up to the people
who cannot sleep. But 1t is not an occu-
patton that will last very long. The demon
stration that people need not sleep being
once made-that they can stay out all night
If they.want to, tonight and all other nights,
and go to work fresh In the morning-sleep-
lessness will become universal and COM
monplace. What Is the use of wasting time
in bed IL 1t is not necessary?
Instead of saying with Sancho Panza
"God bless the man who first invented
Sleep" the Fastening American will be
heaping benedictions on the head OF the
man who abolished sleep.

Christmas in Paris.
From Harper's Bazaar.


French children, instead of hanging up
their stockings Christmas eve, place their
shoes before the chimney. In the morning
small children will find toys for their re-
joicing but child who has arrived at the
use of reason is more likely to receive a
gift Of a sum of money and book. French
gift books for children, as much any
other one thing / know. mark the vast
difference between American and French
civilization.
These books, as to contents, resemble
those terribly good books that ages ago in
the United States formed the substance OF
Sunday school libraries. They are, If not
sermons for the young, then tales of chill
dren so impossdbly virtuous as to be more
insufferable than the longest, dryest SER
mon. In appearance these books ex-
hibt uniformity as tiresome as their con-
tents. They are almost invariably bound
in bright red cloth decorated with ara
besque designs in vivid gold, and in size they
vary from that of gospel hymn book to
something pretty nearly large as the
family Bible. The size OF the book is
regulated according to the merit of the
child receiving it, and also according to the
heart of the donor.
