REIGN OF THE DiNOSAUR
Cutting Off of These Reptiles Almost
Simultaneous the World Over.

Simultaneous the World Over.
Never in the whole history of the
world as we now know it have there
been such remarkable land scenes as
were presented when the reign Of these
titanic reptiles was at its climax. 1t
was also the prevailing life picture of
England, Germany, South America and
India. We can imagine herds of these
creatures from fifty to eighty feet in
length, with limbs and gait analogous
to those of gigantic elephants, but with
bodies extending through the long, fex-
ible and tapering necks into the di-
minutlve 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 liv-
ing more exclusively on land, others
for longer periods in the water.
The competition for existence was
not only with the great carnivorous
dinosaurs, but with other kinds OF
herbivorous dinosaurs the iguano-
donts), which had much smaller-bodies
to sustain and a much superior tooth
mechanism for the taking Of food.
The cutting off of this giant dino
saur dynasty was nearly if not quite
simultaneous the world over. The ex
PLANTATION which is deducible from sim
liar catastrophes to other large types o.
animals Is that a very large frame
with a limited and specialized set o
teeth fitted only to certain special food
is a dangerous combination of charac
ters. Such q monster organism Is M
longer adaptable: any serious chang
Of conditions which would tend t
eliminate the special food would ais
eliminate these great animals as nee
essary consequence.
There is an entirely different elias
of explanations, however. to be cor
sidered, which are consistent both wit
the continued fitness of structure OF tn
giant dinosaurs themselves and wit
the survival of their especial foo6
such, for example, as the introducto
of a new enemy more deadly even tina
