Ascending the hill slope of Indian Queen lane
one passes over winding roadway through what
was once a thickly wooded grove overlooking the
Ridge road and the Schuylkill river quaint
cluster of three houses Joined one home
stead. A tablet swings from the arch in one OF
its ancient doorways, stating that this was the
home of DR.. Smith, the first provost Of the col
lege-afterward the University of Pennsylvania.
Although the structure known in these days
DR.. Smiths home has the appearance OF
being large building, 1t comprises what was
originally three distinct houses, with quaint
spring houses and outbudings the Philadelphia
Inquirer says. The old records show that DIR.
Smith built these three clusters OF strange build
ings the hill nearly opposite the Old Falls tay
ern, among which was the octagon building and
the vault in which his remains and others OF his
family were deposited Immediately on the brow
of the hill. The old "octagon building" which
created much comment when first built because
of its unusual construction called Smiths
Folly in the early days, but its many-wndowed
recesses were the special delight of the cee-
brated university provost.
The residents of the Falls OF Schuylkill find
peculiar satisfaction today In the preservation OF
this old landmark because of its important asso-
citation with the early education of this section.
Not only was It the home of DR.. Smith. and made
famous for its connection with the beginnings OF

discovered the huge footprints and other indlca-
lions of the very recent presence Of some tremen-
dous monster that had evidently been prowling
the grassy plains surrounding the lakes on
the summit at elevation OF about $500 feet.
He followed the trail all day. and came upon the
monster at dusk, just it devastating
settlement of the pigmies. The little natives were
screaming and running for their lives, although
they turned every and again to aim their
poisoned arrows at the brute.
Monckton let fire as soon as he was able to
get in proper position, and the huge gazeka at
once turned upon him. AS it reared upon its
hind legs and paved the air it looked to the
hunter as big house, standing fully 20 feet
high. Two of Monckton's bullets seemed to take
effect, a stream of blood flowed freely from
the animals shoulder but before Monckton was
able to reload the animal turned and fled BY
that time it was too dark to follow him. and
Monckton never had another opportunity to
his pursuit
None Of the inhabitants brave enough to
repeat Monckton's attempt to capture the brute,
and until the British expedition reached New
Guinea he has prowled around with impunity

to it's gigantic size, and, although there is, OF
course, no means of ascertaining its appearance
in life as it has been extinct for several thou
sands of years the gazeka appears to bear
marked resemblance in form to this ancient
monster
That a few diprodonts could have survived
to this day despite the extinction of the main
part of the type, is not considered unlikely by
the scientists, who point out that nature does not
usually blot out whole class of animals sudden
ly, but that, the contrary, it is sometimes
thousands OF years before the last individual
member Of the type succumbs to the conditions
which destroyed his fellows.
The British explorers enduring many hard
ships in their scientific expedition. In New Guinea
the temperature is never less than la degrees
in the shade. and water Is not always accessible.
But if these ardent explorers really capture a
living diprodont they will consider their labors
well rewarded

of the principal objects of the
