SKELETON OF ICHTEY0SAURUS
Remarkably Perfect Specimen of
This Prehistoric Animal DiscoN-
cred in south America.

Ncys q ono e t.. ,s.t .T'ar,ant
geolugiral discoveries ever made in
South America has just been received
at the university O! Cd.uorNil from
Astronomer VI. II. Wright, head of the
Lick observatory expedition now in
Chilli The find is remarkably per-
feet specimen of the ichthyOSaurus,
and the significance oil the discovery
lies in the fact that South America
has never been known previously to
furnish any specimens OF these prehis-
tnric silUrians so valuable TO science.
This intcrps ing fossil was discovered
near CO1uimhn. Chi'i. and the speci-
men as brol uucarlhcd in almost per-
fcct condition. Other valuable speci-
mems have been found in the same
place. Prof. Merriam. occupying the
chair Of palenn.olo"y and historical
geology at the university. says that so
far as he is aware no specimen has
been discovered which rivals this one
in completeness or scientific value.

Dissolution Threatens
Amana SociaIistic Society.

Iowa City, H., Feb AFTER fifty
years Of successful operation, the IA.
mons Amana socialistic society IN
Iowa county faces serious prospect
OF dissolution. 1t has lasted longer
and been more than materially sue.
cessiul than any other socialistic
community ever formed in America.
From an initial membership OF
about 100, with a meager property,
1t has grown to 1,200 and over
S3,000,0 900 Improperly. The society
is composed Of Mennonites, similar
to the Quakers. They own most OF
the land in three townships and have
seven towns and villages, and are
model farmers. The $ ,ciety operates
the largest wooden mills in Iowa,
turning out product that il famous
all over the country. Everything ia
held in common and the bylaws pro.
vide that a withdrawing member
may be given a certain smsllamount
Tor every year he has been member.
The accumulation Of property has
grown to such point that a dlstri
button would net about IS 900 to
each member while the average with
drawal appointment is only about
$500. Some OF tine younger mem
bers who want to withdraw but do
not want to pay so heavy a price,
are supposed to back the dissolution
proceedings which have been started
in the district court. They allege
that the society, organized purely
for benevolent and charitable pur

an intimate knowledge not only of the

Barnay. the great Bavarian actor

"The emperor frowned. and said: In

GIRLS ARE TOO FRIVOLOUS.
London Critic Makes Accusations
Against Young Women of
Modern society.

A new crime is charged against the
modern society girl. Ii is that she en-
tiers into matrimonial engagements
with levity and breaks them with
equal lichtness of heart A sober
minded British contemporary draws
comparisons between the present day
methods and the time when betroth-
al was as serious an affair as mar
riage itself, Now, il is not an unusual
thing for girl to be engaged sew
eral times before she is married, but
people think none the worse of her
for that.
IAN engagement" this authority
continues, has become no more of a
weighty matter now than a dance. A
woman can throw her partner over If
she likes. When girls are so capri
cious. how can man have the same
feeling for the sanctity of marriage
when he knows well that the girl
whose hard heart he has asked for has
been engaged before and already has
gone all through the intimacy of love
making and the kissing entailed by it.
81 heard the other day. adds the
writer. 'of two marriages where the
parties had been engaged from six 10
eight years Everybody expressed I'M
bounded surprise that they remained
faithful so long. The fact u.s. young
girls ways are beginning 10 resemble
those nursemaids who walk out with
man, but not always with view to
matrimCny. Are the methods of the
American summer girl being copied
