The Telluride papers find marked
resemblance between the sidewalk
conditions In that town and Durango.
There are docaying wooden walks In
both towns, and few in Ouray.
Those towns have ordinances provid-
ing that new walks shall be made of
concrete. The result is that walks
are being put down in short pieces,
kind OF patchwork system that
makes it expensive The suggestion
has been made in Durango that the
city issue bonds and replace the di-
lapidated walks in systematic and
economic way. instead of having a
stretch of good walk alternating with
n rickety, old board walk. 1t would
not be bad idea for ouray to adopt
some such method for sidewalk con-

Finding the Great Shark

1t was q years ago when the late Joseph Cohn
of New York discovered the remains of the great
shark in the phosphate beds of South Carolina The
phosphates had devoured all OF his body except his
teeth Of which there 200. He brought the
teeth to New York and deposited them in Brooklyn

they got cobwebbed and lost sight of. Later
Mr. Cohn died and attention drawn to the teeth
by clause in his will, and his son, Quintus Cohn,
investigated The result the purchase of the
collection for the museum by DR.. w. D. Matthew.
Examination of the teeth by Prof Bashford Dean,
curator of fossil fishes resulted in the discovery that
they were the remains of the great eocene shark of
which but little is known scientists except that he
existed This collection bears the distinction of

largest shark yet discovered. Fossil skeletons of
sharks are rare and complete skeletons
found except in the rocks, where the whole animal
had protective covering shark has no bones
except his teeth and what would be bones in other
fishes is cartilage in him. Cartilage is no better
petriher than the of his flesh and hence, unless
whole fish was engufed in mire which speedily hard
ened into rock, complete skeleton viii never be
The process of building the head of the shark
from his teeth was conhded to DR.. Louis Hussakoff,
assistant curator, and the perpetrators of the
DR. HussaIo could readily build up shark from one
Of its teeth-that is his profession. For the prepar
