) When Dinosaurs Lived s


Some footprints on piece of sand
stone plowed up in South Hadley,
Mass, by a boy in 1902 caused much
excitement. They we're at first thought
by the deyout people to be the tracks
of 'Noahs Raven" made in the mud
of the subsiding deluge. When some
Tagging stones were quarried in Mon
tague for the streets of Greenfield in
1885 a less religious "Mr Wilson"
called them turkey tracks" Then an
attempt was made TO decipher them
scientifically by Dr. James Deane and
the eminent scientist Prof Edward
| Hitchcock. both of whom Joined in
the opinion that they were the foot
prints Of prehistoric birds. As bird
| tracks they continued to be popularity
known for more than half a century.
| But developments in technology and
palaeonotology throw a new light on
these mysterious footprints on the
sands of time.
DIR. Richard Swami Lull, associate
professor of the Massachusetts Agri.
cultural college at Amherst, the emf.
uent paleontologist, in a recent me-
moir issued by the Boston Society of
Natural History, states that these
footprints must have been made by
dinosaurs. The fossils of American
dinosaurs have been found mostly in
the Rocky mountains, and that region
has come to be regarded as the for
mer home of these ancient monsters.
! It now appears that right here in New
England this strange race of animals
| lived and flourished in countless varie-
ties from the size of a small monkey
to two or three times the height of
man.
About 100000 years ago, accord.
ing to DR.. Lull's calculation, the Con-
necticut valley was a tropical jungle,
in which disported these creatures,
more grotesque than can now be found
In an African forest. These creatures,
with the tail of reptile, the body
of an animal and the head Of snake,
stood nearly upright on their hind legs
and walked or ran with almost human
gait.

How Streams Purify,


An Italian scientist has lately made,
a detailed explanation Of the accepted.
fact that the waters of lakes and riv-
ers, however thoroughly infected, pos
sess the power of purifying them
selves. A great amount of bacteria,
this authority says, is dragged to the.
bottom by the precipitation of solid
matter, but this is not the only puri-
Tying process. In swift currents the,
velocity Of the stream is in itself q.
cleansing agent, and it has been shown
hat sunlight destroys bacteria In
water to a depth Of three feet. The
obvious conclusion is that rapidly flow.
Ing streams or ponds not more than
three feet deep contain the purest
water.

A large cask or barrel may be used
for smoking a small quantity OF meat.
To make this effective, small pit
should be dug, and a fiat stone or
brick placed across 1t, upon which the
edge of the cask will rest. Half the
pit Is beneath the barrel and half Is
outside. The head and bottom may
be removed, or hole can be cut in
the bottom a little larger than the
portion of the pit beneath the cask.
The head or cover is removed while
the hams are being hung upon cross
sticks, as shown in the illustration.
The cross sticks rest upon two cross
bars made to pass through holes bored
in the sides of the cask. The head is
then laid upon the cask and covered
with moist sacks to confine the smoke.
Live Goals are put into the pit outside
of the cask, and the fire is fed with
damp corn cobs, hardwood chips, or

DR.. Lull expresses the opinion that
dinosaurs abounded in this region in
great variety. Some were carnivorous
and preyed upon small animals and
fish In the shallow waters, Others

tropical foliage that then lined the
banks of the Connecticut. Certain Of

unless the water is allowed to stand

not crack. BY laying a tile drain
around the outside of the wall and at
