Late In the afternoon session Thursday
a paper was read by Prof. Henry F. Osborn
of Columbia University on the researches
that have been made for the purpose of
learning the origin of the prehistoric Amer
lean horse. The explorers have been at
work for three years, during which time
they have visited the trans Missouri and
southwestern states. and made many val
liable discoveries. They were enabled to
pursue their Investigations through the do
nation of $4,000 made by the late William
G.. Whitney, who ever had deep interest In
the horse. Prof. Osborn said that the party
of explorers had discovered herd of pre-
historic horses, known as the "NeOhippar-
ion," and consisting of a mare and several
colts. The skeletons were in a fine state of
preservation, and the species was named
''Neohipparian Whitney," in honor OF Mr..
Whitney. ss
The skeletons were found in Nebraska in
1902, and were imbedded In the upper mio-
Gene formation. In Texas two years earlier
they had discovered what is known as the
"Equus Scotti." or the horse of the lower
pleistocene division.
Prof. Osborn also read paper advocating
a Reconsideration Of the reptilia, chiefly IN
teresting to the lay mind because of the
positive announcement that man as man.
NAL. with single arch on the side of his
skull, is Enthusiastically descended from that
class of reptiles known as lynapida, which
has only one arch.

Vegetable Rock Bufldere,

The vegetable rock builders are found
~ the ooZe which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom of
the sea. AS shown by the microscope,
they are seen TO consist of ZigZag links
or boxes. attached at their corners.
These vegetable forms. so minute as to
be invisible to the human eye, have
the power Of secreting the elements
Of flint or silica from the water In
which they live. They are very curl
ously marked. and there are many va.
rieties of them. 1t will be seen that in
their structure the lines Of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city Of Der.
lin was built On an immense bed Of the
remains of these minute vegetable
forms, and the unstable founda tons Of
the houses is due to this fact. They
are SO small that one Of them is but
the seventy millionth part Of grain.
They increase by subdivision. one be-
ing capable OF increasing to a million
by this process in twenty four hours.
Their method OF building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
'dinty skeletons to form the solid rock.
They block up rivers, give the green
unge to the Arctic ocean, form a white
stone which has been found in masses
800 miles long and 500 feet thick, and
the clouds of dust which are blown
from the desert are made up of them.

they do not consider rowdyism part of
it. They like to see players get into the
game with plenty of life: run to and
from the field and get to their places
at the bat i'm a hurry. and not loaf
about and try to get side shot at the
umpire in order to get the crowd after
him. If some players would put as
much ginger into their playing as they
do in going after the umpires and using
abusive language to them, they would
be much more valuable to the men who
employ them. The rules committee will
have an opportunity next year TO make
another change. Let them pass rule
to fine each player outside of the cap
tain of the team who may approach the

READY FOR

Lewiston Normal Will Get a Few
of the Good Ones This
Season

E. NJ. Murphy. captain of the Uni
versity of Idaho football team and one
OF the best known athletes in the
northwest, was in the city this week
on his way to the university to begin
the work of his last year, says the
Spokane Chronicle. Murphy says that
this season is the most promising for
athletics of any year in the history OF
the institution, and the completion of
the new gymnasium will mean a great
deal for athletics at the university.
The football players are beginning to
arrive. and Coach Griffin Is already on
{ ground. The chances are that the
l:.ersity team will be stronger than
last year, and equally fast. In speaking
OF the team and the schedule Captain
Murphy stated:
From letters have received. l pre-
sumo the schedule is now about COM
pleted. Three games have been def
nitely arranged. The Idaho eleven will
play Butte. BoZeman and the Univer-
sity Of Washington. 1t is also certain
that the varsity will meet the w. A. c.,
team, but the dates for these contests
have not yet been set.
Manager Galloway informs me that
he will endeavor to bring the Univer-
sity of Washington team east of the
mountains for a game this year. and
that the game will either be played at
MOSCOW or Spokane. In either case a
81 4
large crowd may attend"
According to a statement from Man
ager Galloway. the team will be prac-
tically the same. with few changes.
The lineup will include Snow, center:
Thomas. right guard; Larson. left
guard; Rogers and c. Smith tackles.
We have no ends. Middleton will play
quarterback TilIy. fulback and
Johnny Miller right halfback. We are
yet short left halfback Horton, who
played two years ago-if he plays this
year, will be fullback, and Fogler may
be on the line.

uMPIRES
ARE NACCED
Ball Players Accused of COercing
Them During a
Game

Every year the magnates of the
major leagues meet and pass such rules
as they think will give the umpires all
the protection necessary and at the
same time keep the game clean from
rowdyism each season following the
rules are broken by the players and the
scenes of rowdyism occur, much to the
disgnest of the spectators and injury
to the sport.
However, there has been little de-
crease in rowdy acts this season. but
there Is plenty of room for still more
improvement. There will never be a
time when umpires are found who are
able to please both sides. and there will
always be kicking from the baseball
fans There are umpires who are in
competent to act and judge a game of
baseball; then again, there are good
umpires, who would be all right II they
were not nagged nearly to death by
players. 1t is the player who nags at
an umpire and tries to set the crowd
against him that causes the most trou-
BILE, and, as II rule, rioting at games is
usually the result of just such action.
There has been great deal of kick
ing in the minor leagues of late. and
the ma jors, too. have had their share
Of trouble. The players complain that
the magnates give the umpires too
much power in handling the game.
Well. if that is the case. what would
happen if the umpires We're limited in
their powers? II the ball players had
any more chance to make trouble than
they have now, it would be IA hard row
indeed for the umpires to hoe. There
has been a lot of senseless kicking at
some OF the games and the spectators
have been urged on by the players to
make trouble for the officials after the
games, which is most disgusting to the
women who attend the games and can
not be blamed for remaining away from
the sport when such action are toler-
ated.
The people like snappy ball games
