GUlLIVER Taft To
VISIT L|LL|PIjTIANS
Z Will Tower Over All of
Japan.
VISIT HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE

Philippines-Aceepts Invitation as
Impossible to Decline.
VISIT HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE

Secretary Tafts physical proportions
are expected to make q great impression
upon the Japanese when he visits Tokyo
this summer
The Secretary, who is a giant in size
even In America. will tower above the
oiminutive Jaas like tall pine over
saplings. and should he be received by
the Mikado. the scene Will be one of eX-
treordinaFy interest.
Towers Over Japan.
1t is said that the Japanese Minister
here has warned his associates In Tokyo
what 10 expect when MIR. Taft steps
ashore AT Yokohama to receive the well
come prepared for him. He is pictured
as Galliver among Lilliputians.
The tallest man IN Japan is said TO be
not over five feet ten inches. Secretary
Tart Is six feet one and weighs over
80 pounds
IN many respects the visit OF the
American Secretary of War this summer
TO the capital city of Japan will be
notable. Not since Commodore Perry
opened" Japan TO the world some fifty
years ago has i high official OF the
american Government gone in an official
capacity 10 visit the Afikado's court.
President Grant had retired from Of
fee when he made his famous visit to
Nagasah and Tokyo.
In All Official Dignity.
With Secretary Taft there will be ali
the halo of official dignity, as a ranking
member OF the Cabinet, surrounding
him Fresh frorn the duties OF q three
ply role IN Washington. where for sew
eraf weeks he served as Chief Execu-
tive. Acting Secretary of State, and
EsssU ftT HN.FS
iE the chrysanthemum kingdom, and
supporting him as an escort will be a
large party Of some OF the most pForni-
nent lawmakers IN the Western world.
Foreseeing that foreign powers will be
inclined to attach undue diplomatic sig
nifieanee to his visit to the East, Sec
retary TAFT has on all occasions pos
sibie tried to dispe1 this view. The
stop in Japan. he says. is merely one OF
the incidents of the journey to the
Philippines.
Matter of Courtesy.
Inasmuch as the steamer on which
Secretary Taft and his party are trav-
cling must stop at Yokohama and Kobe.
IL has been deemed a matter of cour-
tesy for Secretary Taft to accept the
invitation extended 10 him by the Jap
aflese government to make the trip to
Tokyo. where he will be welcomed by
high Japanese officials.
Secretary Taft will call on the Jap
aTlese minister of war and the minister
OF foreign affairs.
Arrangements have not been made for
an audience with the Afikado. 1t is very
likely the Eastern potentate and the
american Secretary of War will meet.
The party will be Al Japan for about
four days.

or less decomposing carcases of the dinosaurs and other reptiles as they were slowly floated down stream.
 The giant herbivorous forms, such as the brontosaur and the diplodocus, habitually walked on all fours and they may perhaps have at times waded deep in the water, whence their long necks would have enabled them to browse with ease on the rank kerbage fringing the banks. With creatures of between 60 and 70 feet in length, it is obvious that some lightenin. of the bones of the skeleton must be iL. L.pera- tive, as otherwise the vast bulk would break down or be immovable by it's own weight. This has been accom- plished by hollowing out the interior of the verebrae by means of large cav- ities, by compressing their lower DOT tion in an hour-glass shape, and by supporting the slender upper part by means of buttresses on the T-iron principle. The result of this is that a dinosaur verebra weighed only about half as much as that of whale of the same approximate dimensions Gin which there is obviously no need for lightness): and it has been further as- certained that while the skeleton of a 74-foot whale weighs 17,920 pounds. that of giant dinosaur of the same approximate size did not probably ex- ceed 10000 pounds. That these dino saurs were essentially land animals is demonstrated with certainty by this Tightening of their skeletons; but the

Declaration of Indspsndsncs With
 Bioiraphss of Siinsrs.

Washington, Feb 18.-Colonel WiL liam H. Michael, chief clerk of the state department, by order of congress has published book giving an illus trated history of the declaration of in- dependence, with the biographies and portraits of the signers and the s1cre. tary of the congress. The advance copies of this work have been received al the department. The illustrations include not only hpotographs of the famous state paper in it's present de- cayed condition, but also number Of photographs taken when the document was in better state of preservation. The volume was prepared primarily as an aid to those in charge of the ex- hibit of the department of state at ex- positions. in explaining that part of the exhibit relating to the declaration of independence The series of DOT. traits of the singers is complete and there is an interesting fac smile of the hroadside copy of the declaration signed by John Hancock. president of the congress for and on behalf of tho members of congress, attested by Charles Thompson, secretary. Espe- cially interesting is the correspondence relating to the declaration, which is given. Because of the historic value Of the work of Colonel Michael, con- gress ordered the book printed as . government publication.

appeared to be dark boulders dotting the surface of the ground were really dinosaur bones. Some ten miles dis tant. at Como bluffs, was discovered another "dinosaur cemetery" equally rich in these wonderful remains. Orig finally the ''dinosaur quarry" and Como bluffs must have been connected by the stratum which has been called the ''dinosaur bed" but this has long since been denuded away, leaving an open stretch of plain. The strata have, however. been thrown into huge folds, and here and there a remnant or out crop" of the dinosaur-bed. which is about 110 feet in thickness. is met with in riding across the plain.
 At the foot of the bluffs the re- mains of the dinosaurs lie at intervals of from 20 to 100 feet apart. and it is but rarely that an entire skeleton is discovered. In the Bone-Cabin quarry on the other hand, as shown in the

Not the least re- markable feature about these tails of the giant herbivorous forms are cer- made by the teeth of the caru;yorous types. and Prof. Osborn suggests in the Century Magazine that the carni- vorous species were in the habit of picking the bones of their herb;vorous relatives precisely in the same manner as a condor now cleans the haeEbone of horse

old idea that they were sluggish and slow-moving creatures is not counte- nanced by Prof. Osborn. The spoon like teeth, which in some instances were confined to the front of the jaws. indicated that. unlike the English igua- nodon of the Sussex Wealden. they swal- lowed their food without mastication.
 Mingled with the larger bones of the giant dinosaurs are those of the small CT carnivorous species. together with others pertaining to third group. the armored dinosaurs, taking their name from the plates and spines of bone by which they were protected. Of the flesh-eating dinosaurs there were two distinct types-a smaller and a larger. The former. thinks Prof. Osborn, may have preyed on the contemporary liz ard-birds. allied to or identical with the well-known European archaeop- teryx. The larger kind, on the other hand, appear to have attacked and killed the gian: herbivorous species. or, at all events. preyed on their dead carcasees, as is attested by the afore said tail-verebrae. which not only show the grooves made by their teeth, but have actually had their summits bitten off. Armed with sharp and ser rated teeth like those of the saber- toOthed tiger on a small scale. the carnivorous dinosaurs habitually od nm tho;, hind I;,,hc ard ,,-or, thus admirably adapted to throw themselves on theif unprotected giant relations. which. if is suggested. they may have gripped in the first instance by the long and slender throat.
 Nearly all these American types of dinosaurs are represented in Europe. where they were first named and de- scribed. As already mentioned. the English species are in many cases known only by 8 few bones CT teeth so that it is frequently very difficult to know the exact nature of their rela- iionship to the American forms. Nor is it always as easy 10 ascertain what are the proper names of some of the English species. since names have been given on the evidence of a single tooth or single bone which may per- haps have belonged 10 the same spe- cies. If. however. more specimens ap- preaching the completeness of the aforementioned skeleton from Peter borough recently get up in the Natural History museum be forthcon1in1. we may in time be asked 10 determine which teeth should be associated with which bones. Much it has been found possible to do already in this direction from the evidence of the complete American skeletons. but more remains to Dc accomplished. In spite of the scattered state of their remains. it is

Their American coworkers, on the other hand, suffer from an en- barras de richesses in the matter of such remains, so that more or less nearly complete. articulated skeletons of these saurian monsters are far from uncommon in our museums. Previous American discoveries of these remains have. however, been put altogether in the shade by the extraordinary finds" which have been made during the last few years in the Oolitic of Jurassic strata of the Laramle plains in AL bany county. south-central Wyoming
 The first discovery of these remains was accidental. an explorer in 1897 coming across rude hut which had been constructed by the shepherds out of the bones of these extinct reptiles. Subsequent exploration of this great dinosaur quarry" showed that what

One body has been kept at the hos

The seven-year-old cadaver is kept
in large cold storage vault at the
