Out Oft the rocks in northern Montana scientists have dug the skeleton Of
the res King of Beasts. An expedition cent out by the American Museum
of Natural History in New York has reported the resurrection of the largest
hesheatng land anima thus far knownt % the world. This constitutes u
OF the most remarkable finds in the recent history of paleontology. The
curator of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology of this museum. Pro-
fessor Henry F.. Osborn, under whose direction the expedition was sent out
has conferred upon this newly discovered monster the title "Tyrannosaurus
Rex In plain English this means the "Tyrant King Saurian" Or the King
OF Iyran Saurians. The remains Of this denizen Of the past ire being
shipped to e York in a number of carefully made boxes, som of the
oxe weighing ove two tons. Every bone will be placed in its proper place
in the skeleton, missing bones will be modelled out of plaster of paris, and in
a 1ew months ID completed skeleton will be placed o exhibition in the
nails OF tn museum where visitors may com and see what this king of
beasts a FEY million years ago ws like. Enough parts of this amin have
oeen found to make it possible to estimate quite exactly what his size was.
From the end of his tail to the front Of his nos he probably measured about
ihirtyn lin feet A drawing showing the comparative sizes of the Tyranno-

of Huntington. 1t was first proposed
to place a tablet oil the old homestead

How Fog Strains the Exes.

Many of the officers of steamships
running in this port are afflicted with
a new disease, which for want of a
better name some of them call the
fog eye" 1t is an inflammation
caused by peering into the fog, and
while painful it oon passes away.
Captain Higgins and the officers of
the United States Fruit Company's
passenger and mail steamer Admiral
Sampson, which arrived at Long
Wharf his morning after a good run
from Jamaican ports, were among
those whose eyes were affected by the
fog. Running through fog and trying
to distinguish objects when It is al
most impossible to see a vessels length
away is a heavy strain on the eyes,
and the fog, combined with the heat,
produces a smarting sensation.--Bos-

A FearfuIIy Obstinate Man

At the time General Grant assumed

about Washington some pet regiments.
These troops were kept near the cap

that need not be described. Grant at
once ordered them to the held, and the
order promptly created a stir. The
next morning he called to see the Sec
rotary Of War.

loftily.

"Oh, you appeal to the President, do
you? Well, Wen see."
They had 1t out with the President
in short order. The Secretary opened
fire:

you, Nj. President"
"Not at all. / have no appeal to

well, he wants to tell you some
thing"
II have nothing to tell you"
"All right; If you don't tell it L

to tell. Up to the time he haC con-
