to place sea serpent stories. The Ma
tional Museum has undoubtedly boosted
the stock Of that ancient money-getter.
Thousands OF visitors Gazed yesterday
upon the skeleton of sea serpent
which Is supposed 70 have lived three
million years ago. The placard on the
serpent set forth the facts, and there
was no one present old enough to dis
pute them. Hence the sea serpent 10
and was.
Many Strange Sights.
The exhibits at the Museum these days
are sufficient to make the manager Of
any dime museum green with envy.
Those who thronged the building at
another Sunday opening yesterday after
noon. and who have been talking Mu-
scum all day today. saw three argus
pheasants from Siam, a giraffe from
Lake Borangu, flying dragon, the
bones Of q reptile said to have wriggled
about g million or SO year ago, rock
which fell to the, earth from q clear sky,
and other curiosities.
The Museum was crowded again yes
terday until closing time, and several
thousand people wandered through the
spacious halls. gazing in open-mouthed
wonder at some of the rare geological
and archaeological exhibits.
The sea serpent, however, seemed the
chief center of attraction. and more
than one skeptic rubbed his eyes twice
to make sure that he saw what he saw.
