By Lauriston Ward

York are dozen men
practising daily what is perhaps the smallest
profession in the world, the preparing and
mounting OF fossil skeletons To be proficient
in It, one must be both mechanic and a
scientist, and serve Years Of apprenticeship.
The fossils come into the museum they
were found in the field, imbedded IN great
masses OF rock. The first task Of the preparation
= TO determine as accurately as possible the
nature Of the specimen and the character Of
the rock in which II lies. If the rock IS fairly
soft, he takes a chisel and chips away as much
II Il as he can IN safety leaving the bones
surrounded by only the thinnest shell Of rock.
This shell he removes by means OF fine steel
drills, or, if the specimen IS very delicate by
the use OF a corundum wheel, worked by
small electric motor. The finer parts Of the
cleaning are performed by straight avis that
can penetrate the slender. rock filed crcvlccs
between the bones, and the bones themselves
are scraped and polished by shoemaker $
knives and specially curved saddler's avis,
the edges of which have been ground TO razor
sharpness. When the matrix Of the fossil IS OF
some hard rock, however, like Tint better
tools than these are required, and in some cases
diamond drills are used.
