THE bill is now framed so that pen-
sions run from $500 to $1,000 In the
first and second cases. covering really
the teachers Of long standing. The
annuities for the teachers Of twenty
years service and more cannot fall
below $500. nor can they go higher
than $1,000. and the latter figure is
for rare cases only. These annuities
consist Of six-tenths OF the average
annual salary for the last nve years
Of teaching.
Teachers, you know, are poorly paid
on the average. and 1t is impossible for
them to save q competence for old age.
It may surprise you to learn that the
average salary Of teachers throughout

cities out of forty-eight mentioned in a
recent bulletin Of the bureau Of educa-
ton the wages Of laborers exceeded the
age salaries paid to teachers in washing

No part of the work Of the National
Museum is filled with more romance than
that part which deals with the animals
and plants of the prehistoric world The
researches Of the geologist have penetrat-
ed perhaps hundred million years farther
back into the past than the date when
man first made his appearance upon the
earth. During that time over hundred
thousand feet Of rock has been formed.
and as the geolog1st studies the various
layers which crop out in the mountains
and valleys Of the world he is able to
read the record Of millions OF years. and
to get many glimpses Of conditions
which prevailed untold ages before man
things upon the earth.
AS animals are frequently drowned in
high waters today. and their bodies borne
Of sand, only to be covered by mud and
silt, 10 in the millions Of years gone by
like catastrophies overlook the monsters
OF those times. and the sandbars were
afterward transformed into sandstone or
other rock deposits. This then became

ly written the stories of the creatures
which lived and died in time almost
too remote for human conception. These
discoveries have led to the establishment
Of new science, that of paleontolOgy,
q science which borrows much from a
half dozen related sciences-geology, zool-
ogy, anatomy, etc.

which was protected by a special fringe
OF bony plates. The late Prof. Marsh
once declared that as the head increased
in size to bear its arfnor Of bony plates
the whole skeleton was specially modified
to support it. He concluded that as these
changes took place in the course Of the
evolution Of this wonderful dinosaur, the
head at last became too large and heavy
for the body to bear. and SO must have
led to its destruction. He felt that the
triceratops literally died of the big head
and declared that Ii he were to write its
epitaph 1t would be: II and my race
died of overspecialization.''

Clark has managed a Portsmouth
