LIZARD SIXTY FEET LONG.
Bones of Big Colorado Dinosaur in
 Field Museum,

Chicago, Aug 4.-Imagine the sen- satiOn of feeling a lizard about sixty feet long and thirty-five feet high, weighing about fifteen tons. crawling up your frame and grinning at you through teeth four feet long.
 Any person who thinks that the description of this dinosaur of by- gone days is a new nature fake can have his doubts removed by going to the Field museum, where Prof Riggs has his newest pet on ex- hfbition- The specimen weighs near Iy 10000 pounds as 1t stands The specimen is said to be the most com plete in any museum in the world It was discovered near Fruita, Col. In 1901. by Prof Riggs.

Some kinds of trees in common
 use throughout the land have as many aliases as the criminal with the longest police record. For many reasons this is unfortunate.
 If 1t were possible 10 bring every one to accept one name for each kind of tree there would ba a de- cided advantage. The everyday man is apt to be impatient with what seems 10 the pedantic fondness Of the botanist for jawbreaking Latin names that have no meaning 10 the uninitiated when common usage sup plies a familiar one. The trouble Is that on the familiar name there is seldom an agreement: hence many misunderstanding wOrdy dis putss and often failure on the part of those who know a good deal about trees to distinguish correctly by name the different kinds of trees and woods. It is easy enough to tell an oak from a maple, and there ought not to 5e much uneer- tzinty as to whether a tree is a pine or a spruce. But oak. maple. pine and spruce are generic names, and each genus includes a numbeE of species. Here begins confusion which often approaches chaos. Not only do different localities apply dif- ferent names to the same species and the same name to diEsTent spe- eies- h the same locality several different names naT be used for single species where no basis for

CHESTER s. LORD.
Career of the Managing Editor of the
 New York Sun.

Every one of the nights upon which newspaper goes to press is to a managing editor a Trafalgar or a Waterloo.
 Chester S. Lord, managing editor of the New York Sun, has fought and won approximately 10000 of these battles. Some member of his staff once said that in each of these bat ties MT Lord has been arrayed against 10000 demons of detail which go to make up the great army of nervous lprostration.
 When Mir Lord passed his twenty fifth anniversary of service as man. aging editor of the Sun, in 1905, his staff gave him a dinner as a tribute of affection to "a supremely able man, and just and kindly man."
 Most managing editors of the big newspapers are buried in awe-inspir- ing offices and are but little known to their reporters. Mir Lord sits in the big workroom of the Sun, in full view of every corner of the place and in personal contact with every member of his staff. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the Sun alumni, men who have graduated to magazines and other newspapers look upon MT Lord as beacon light of newspaper dom, says the August Broadway Mag azine.
 Joining the staff of the Sun in 1872 as a reporter. Mir Lord became man. aging editor eight years later, and for seventeen years served in that capacity under the late Charles A. Dana. enjoying the latter's confi- dence and appreciation, and profting by his splendid example and marvel ous ability. Under William M. Laf- fan, the present head of the Sun Pub- fishing association, Mir Lord has con- tinued his work with success.
 Mir Lord has served seven years a member of the board of regents of the University of the state of New York.
 Mir Lords father was a Presby- terian clergyman and fighting chap lain of the 10th N. Y. Volunteer regiment in the war of the rebellion. He has two sons, Kenneth, who is connected with the editorial stan of the Sun. and Richard, who is at pres ent circulation manager of the Sun.

The Niagara peninsula, that part of Ontario west of Niagara river extending to the western end Of Lake Ontario, is said to be well adapted to the culture of figs, an industry practiced there for 40 years. This information is de- rived from a consular report which throws out the hint that it will prove surprising.
