TEETH IS PATTERN
FOR GIANT SHARK
Devonian Monster Being Built at
Museum-Only Clue the
MOIarS

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE monster
shark of the Devonian age that could
swallow a baby dinosaurs without a
wink, and that long remained as an
intangible theory to scientists, is being
reconstructed and mounted in the
American Museum of Natural History
from a set of fossil teeth discovered in
the phosphate beds of South Carolina.
The original discovery of the teeth
took place twenty five years ago, but
to Dr. w D. Matthew, of the Ameri-
can Museum, belongs the credit of hav-
ing brought them to light in a Brooklyn
museum. where they had escaped no.
tice until will disposing of them called
attention to their existence.
There are more than 200 teeth in the
set, presenting a total area Of thirty
five square feet. The mouth, which
will be open, will be six feet long and
seven feet high. The shark in life was
fully sixty feet long. and his pet name.
according to scientists, was Carcarodon
MegalodOn. His largest descendants at
present seldom exceed eighteen feet in
length.

TOAD EVIDENTLY A THINKER
Clever Maneuver by Which Batrach-
ian FoiIed His lnveterate
Enemy the Serpent.

The following snake story was told
some years ago by a reputable citi-
zen of Arson county: Driving along
a public road one day he saw a toad
frog crossing the road at top speed
hitting only the high places and few
of them. AS the frog disappeared in
the bOsky UnderbTush on one side a
black snake in hot pursuit made its
appearance on the other The story
teller followed the two into the bushes
to see what the result would be. He
had proceeded only a short distance
when he found the frog at bay. fac
ing the snake and with the latter circ-
ling about in the effort to make an
attack from the rear. His frogship
kept turning all the time, always fac
ing the enemy
The reason of this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth, held crosswise and about
the middle, a stick about the size and
length of lead pencil The frog knew
the snake could not swallow him so
long as he presented such a front.
The man watched the performance
for some time and when he left the
snake was still ciTcling the frog and
the latter facing its enemy on every
turn.-ChaTlOtteville Observer.

The Duty Of Best and PLAY

Rest is just as much a necessity of
life as Work is In the face of the

work in itself is respectable unless il

prove itself to be right; in the face of
this popular theory, which is the the
