Biological Expedition Now on Its Way
Home With Many Scientific Treas
ures and After Finding a Col
ony of Prosperous Beers.

New York.-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton in the wilds of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and a fund of interesting ex-
~periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata'
gonia on July 3 last, is in charge OF
Prof. f. B. Loomis of the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst
1911; Layton Turner, Amherst, 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro
fessor Loomis by his associates III
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog
ical specimens and gathered much val
uable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less com
pete prehistoric skeletons, 10 skulls
and a large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens of the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate
notostylopus and a large variety oil
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party.
Some Of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in some instances at
levels a thousand feet above the sea.
| Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees, some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven in by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft Of these huge trees. Members
Of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells of bivalves
similar TO the oyster, but a foot OF
more In diameter, were found in the
anne locality.

of a series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896.

The boy set to work. An hour or

the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom OF the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there vas scarcely a

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of IIls.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
Ill, writes to tell how she back her
health by quitting coffee:
II am 81 years DID," she says, have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and q
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that / vas regularly sick In
bed for several weeks each time.
81 was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, but
I am thankful that I found out the
truth.
Then / determined to use Postum
exclusiyely-for a week at first-for I
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length Of time. I made
the Postum carefully, as directed. and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, / resolved
to continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This / did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My Indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned, I
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh. rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
Then 7 thought / would try coffee
again, and did SO for a few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was a return Of my old
troubles.
