THALATTOSAURUS DISCOVERED
Animal Of New Species. New Family,

earthed In California.

The Shasta county California; fossil
beds that have been 81 prolific in IN"
production OF the remains OF prelils-
toric extinct animals have yielded still
another specimen to the scientific
world and the geological kingdom. 1t
was discovered by John G. Merriam,
professor OF paleontology at the Uni
verslty OF California. The animal ap-
pears to have been OF a family I'M
known to paleontologsts and has been
named the thalattosaurus. 1t Is a huge
sea lizard and Is estimated to have
been at least seven feet long. Origi-
nally 1t was a shore form, but became
after a long period a marine animal
Prof Merriam says the remains pre-
sent not only new species a new
family and new genus, but new
order. statement the importance Of
which will be appreciated by scientists
as very considerable one.

GIRLS TO ERECT A CHAPEL.
Daughters of Wealth Mt Stamford,

Male Hand Will Help.

With their own hands the girls Of
Rosemary hall. at Stamford, Conn, a
seminary In which daughters Of wealthy
families are educated, have begun to
erect stone chapel. They have made a
vow that no mans labor shall be en-
ployed in any part of the work.
George Lauder Jr., a nephew of An
drew Carnegie, offered them all the
stone they required from his estate
Just before the Christmas holidays 50
girls in rainy-day skirts, white jerseys
and heavy boots went after the first
load on the Lauder farm. Two girls
drove a cart, into which the girls heaved
the stones with a will Some of the
stones were so heavy that two or three
girls tugged with all their might to lift
)ne For several days squads of girls,
led by their gymnasium instructor, a
woman, repeated the trip after the build
ing material
When the pupils return to Rosemary
they will take picEaNcs and shovcls and
dig the trenches for the foundation
They intend to mix the mortar and lay
the stone.
The origin of this novel huilding en-
Ferprse is a sentiment among the pu-

OIL AS NAVAL FUEL.
British Expert Discusses Problems
to Be Met.
Prediction Made That Coal VIII he
Supplanted in Time-QuestiOn
of Danger Most Sc
riOua One.

The new British battleship Hibernia
and sister ships, Britannia and Africa,
are to be fitted for storage of oil as fuel
In large quantities. The announcement
has raised suggestion whether coal
firing will not be altogether abolished
In the three latest additions to the King
Edward VII. class In the navy A Brit
ish construction official gave it as his
opinion that oil fuel would long remain
as merely supplementary to coal firing
In warships. He admitted that the meth
Cd Of employing 1t would soon be devel-
oped to a stage at which il would prove
quite as effective means of generating
motive power as coal this notwit hstand-
ing that coal bunkers are not likely TO
become thing OF the past in warships
for long time to come.
One point which in the experts view
seriously initiates against general
adoption OF oil as fuel for warship pur-
poses Is the dangerously inhammabe
quality. An example of this was cited
by construction official some time ago.
Wilhelm II. was carrying out stcaming
trials II touched rock with sufficient
force to perforate its bilge plating amid
ships. An thrush OF water followed and
oil stored in the fuel tanks came foating

An Arabian mathematician, who

WISCONSIN'S POTATO KING.
Leonard Starks, OF PIainfield, Prob
ably the Largest Dealer on Earth
Operations Cover 215 Towns.

Leonard Starks, of Plaintield, Wis.
probably is the largest dealer in pota
toes In the world. His operations cover
PA towns on all the railroads in Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota. In
these three states alone ii is computed
that 100000 acres OF light, sandy soil is
devoted to potatoes. The marketing of
5,000,0 900 bushels forms considerable
item Of IL dustry, giving employment to
great number Of buyers. spectators,
workmen and freight handlers. Far
more care is taken of the potato than
Of almost any other vegetable on the
market Somewhere about 5000 cars
are in constant service by this one firm,
and capacity is provided for 5000 car
loads more. The preservation Of the
first value from the farm to the con-
sumner is the great problem. At pres
ant the preparation of a car for the
safe transportation OF potatoes in win
ter is occupying Mr., Stark's attention,
The car is to be ceiled double floOred,
papered, often twice, then divided into
bins and a stove and fuel furnished.
This, OF course, entails a man to go
with the car or cars. All this must
necessarily come out Of the price of the
commodity. Machinery for digging
and cleaning of the potato on the farm is
also being investigated. The operation
of Mr.. Starks in potatoes is no small
business He Is modest, unassuming
man of 20 wears and his rise in the
world from a hired man on a poor farm
to his present leading position was
rapid One of his chief characteristics
is his almost perfect measurement and
judgment of men. His workmen are
almost all lifelong associates, and his
rise has been the means of lifting num-
Der of other men, for. in addition to his
great ventures in the potato market he
is silent but much interested partner
in many trades and in several towns in
Wisconsin.

ORIGIN OF THE EARTH
New Theory Advanced by Chicago
University Professor.
The "Nebular Hypothesis" Repudiat-
ed-Declarcs Ii Was Built Up Bit
by Bit from IL Mere Spcck-
Theory of Volcanoes.

! New theories Of the origin, formation
and growth of the earth, OF thermal
distribution and of the formation and
action Of volcanoes are advanced in a
new book on geology, written by Prof.
Thomas G. Chamberlain, head of the de-
partment Of geology at the University
Of Chicago, and Prof. Rollin b. Sails
bury, of the same department.
Dr. Chamberlain repudiates what Is
known as the "nebular hypothesis OF
the earth's origin and advances in Its
stead a new hypothesis, startlingly diff
ferent from the first, which might be
termed the "accretion hypothesis"
According to the nebular hypothesis,
the earth was once in "A gaseous state.
passed thence into a liquid, and later.
cooling off, became solid.
According to the view held by Prof
| Chamberlain the earth started mere
| speck in space. and was built up grad
ually by the infall of matter, bit by Bit
at such a rate that though each little
mass became hot as a result Of its fall,
it cooled off before others fell on the
same spot. Under this view the inter
nal heat of the earth arose chiefly from
compression due to the earth's gravity.
''The incoming bodies must probably
be assumed to have fallen in promiscuous
order, and hence to have been indiscrim-
inately mingled in the growing earth
| AS they became buried deeper and deep
er and their temperatures and pressur,S
were raised, much reconciliation. chem
ical and physical, may be presumed to
| have followed.
"The accretion hypothesis assumes
| that the internal heat was gradually de-
veloped from the center outward as the
| earth grew and the internal compress
sion was progressively developed. The
heat, therefore, continued to rise at the
center as long as compression contin-
ued."
In chapter on volcanoes, the authors
| advance a new theory to explain the ex-
istence OF volcanoes According TO the
old view, volcanoes were but pipes lead
Ing down to molten mass within, or
outlets for reservoirs of molten matter.
The new theory assigns the outflow Of
deep seated heat as the cause of volca-
noes.
by hypothesis" says the book, "thc
interior Of the earth is composed of va
rious kinds Of matter, mixed as they
happened to fall in Hence, ss tempera-
ture rises, the fusion points OF some of
these constituents will be reached be

atile constituents In the mixed material
would naturally enter largely into the

rose by fusing or fiuxing their way. the
pressure upon them became less and less

GUNS CAPTURED

The fierce fighting continued on
without intermission for several
days. The japanese finally got
possession of a high hill from
which they shelled the valley
through which the Russians tried
to advance. Probably the great
est artillery fight Of the battle
took place October II. Batteries
were placed on every hill, and at
the same time regiment after regi-
ment Of infantry was poured into
the plain by both sides, only to
be thrown back shattered and
torn. 1t is impossible yet to es-
innate the total loss Of life. A
fierce battle was fought by the
Japs and Russians with bayOnets
in the dark with a heavy rain
falling. The Japs were finally
driven back. The thunder and
rain continued all the morning of
the 18th, but Notwithstanding the
guns opened fire promptly at day
