a wrinkle removing preparation which
acts powerfully and quickly may at the
same time be entirely harmless, as has
been amply demonstrated in the case of
the famous saxolite solution. While act
ing so marvelously on wrinkles OF every
sort, the saNolitc is really beneficial to
the skin itself, giving the latter tone and
improving its texture In the case Of
baggy checks or chin, also, more than
mere temporary results are obtained.
One ounce Of pure powdered saxoliie,
securablc at any drug store, dissolved in
a half pint witch hazel, makes this most
cifcctual wrinkle-rcmover. Use az a
wash lotion. The effect is wonderful
and immediate.

that incased them, and such forms as
the eye OF modern man never before
looked upon are being set up and the
world invited to come and see.
For the National Museum has just
discovered itself heir to such a heri-
tage of prehistoric lore as has never
before fallen to the lot OF a scientific
institution. Accommodating dust for a
quarter of a century in the basement
of the old museum have rested 500
boxes, containing a collection of rock
that would make the chaperon of any
chain gang green with envy. One man
who lived, as most great men do, &
generation ahead OF his time had
known of the secrets locked up in
these rocks. He had devoted his life

boulder. Much to his surprise he found
the tips of two monster horns protrud-
ing from 1t. From their positions with
reference to each other he decided that
they were parts of 6 head that was
still intact. He boxed the entire
boulder and made 1t n part of his col

a boulder was a year ago dug up
from among the boxes of the Marsh
collection, For an entire twelve months
y. w. Gilmore. a man of wide eXpe-
rience in such work, has been chisel-

work has resulted in the cutting away

the animal remains unharmed Is the
secret of re-estab ltshing these crea-
lures of old.
This was IL Wonderfully perfect
specimen of the head of this one
creature. 1t established with a degree
of thoroughncss the bone formation
of its head. But. what was the rest of
the creature like? How might the
whole cleketon be completed?: These
were further problems.

Gated that this creature was also of
the same breed as the diceratops. This
specimen might establish the form Of
the front body OF the animal. Down
in Colorado might be located other
fossil bones with a shoulder blade that
hItcicd onto the second ind. and this
collection might contain bones of the
hind legs. The tail might be lacking,
and q search of years might go on be-
fore Il tail was found that was iden-
tilted with IA creature OF the right
horns ana duckhill to finish the com
rlete animal. Then would the whole
creature be complete. and then might
the bones be articulated and the com

The diceratops and the triceratoi q
are closely allied species. one has two
horns. while the other has 81 third horn
on it's nose. There is otherwise little
oifference in the creatures.
From these fossil bones the skeleton
structure OF iri""rtnns was finally
completed. In fact. the orIginal skeic

The footprints OF the creature were
somewhere found in geologic rock.
This determined the shape of the foot.
