his body, Professor Osborn calculated
that further excavation would reveal
additional portions Of the same skele-
ton. Accordingly new expedition
was sent out last summer under Mr..
Brown, and most careful preparations
were made for further exploration.
The cliff under which the previous
specimens had been found was thor
oughly cleared, and blasting Of most
careful and delicate character was
undertaken from the top downward.
AS a result Of this work additional
remains of the wonderful Tyrannosa-
rus Rex came to life as the summer
wore on, so that it is now announced
that representative portions of the en-
tire body have been secured. Scien-
lists will look forward to study Of
the character of this newly found mon
ster with the greatest curiosity. How
ne lived, and what his general charac-
teristics were will be subjects of the
most minute investigation.
These same western regions are be-
lieved by psychologists to be still
full of buried skeletons of bygone
days. Many is the hunter roaming
through forests or along some un-
charted chasm in the Rockies who
sees curious bones projecting from
stones. These may be of priceless
value to science. He should leave
them alone and send word immediate
ly to the American Museum of Natur-
al History in New York, Or to one Of
the other great museums Of the coun-
try. Great may be his reward, and
greater still the reward of science

Fourteenth Century Cook Book.
An ancient cook book has been dis
covered, written in the English of
Chaucer's time, which was published
about 1890. 1t is called "The Form

of the 1876 recipes. One is amazed al
the popularity of the whale. grampus

and the perfidy of Robert Bruce.
