RsptiIes Without Eyes Found.

Denver, Col.-Creatures resembling frogs but unlike them in that they are white and have no eyes, were dis covered in sandstone bluff three miles west of this city by 6 truck gar dener. While digging in the bluff he uncovered number of cells, inside of which were soft, mush-appearing balls. When these were rolled out they proved to be living reptiles, presupnab- ly of another age.
 Local geologists are of the opinion that mud beds existed ages ago where now stand the sandstone bluns. and that chemical process gradually ehaneing the mud to stone imprisoned the reptiles just discovered.

At about six o'clock. as the sun crossed

pressure ridges. Beyond the ice was cut
into smaller foes and thrown together in
an angry mass; an active pack and
troubled seas could not be far away. ac-
cording to our aurmises The water-szy
widcned, but became less sharply defined.
We managed to pick a way amonr
hummocks and pressure lines whicli
seemed impossible from distance. and la
few hours We saw from an unusual
uplift of ice blocks a broad. dark line
separating the packs-a tremendous cut
several miles wide which seemed at the
time to bar all further progress. We
had a folding canvas boat on the slede.

There were several narrow places.
while here and there dSss had been adrikt
in the lead and were now 6xed by the
young ice. Ahweiah remained to make
our snow house comfof able.
In exploring the shore line a partly
bridged place was found. about a mile
from camp: but the young ice was TOO
