By GARRETT P. sERVISS.

the vertebrates sprang direct from
the modern scorpions and spiders,
because it is known that the first
vertebrates were marine animals.
But ne remembered that the
arachnids of to day are also of
marine descent, their ancestors
having been marine arachnids,
which hourished before any verte-
brate animal had appeared. Evil
IDENTIFY he must look for the miss
ing link afar back in geological
time.
Accordingly, he went back mil
lions of years and fixed his sus-
picions upon the mysterious ma
rlne animal ostracoderm, which,
although It was related to the ma
rine arachnids, biologists had al
ways been puzzled to classify. He
travelled wherever the fossils of
this creature could be seen, and
studied them infinitely. But, I'M
fortunately, all that had been
collected were more OF less imper-
feet, and his inquiry might never
have been completed If he had not
discovered a wonderful deposit Of
ostracoderms in the Devonian
rocks on the shore Of the Bay de
Chaleur in Canada. The deposit
was a small one. disclosed by the
falling Of a cliff. Professor Pat
ten concluded that. millions of
years ago, It had been the muddy
bed OF shallow, brackish water
pool, in which the animals had
been trapped by the sudden run
ming Off OF tide water, and had
persisted in a heap.
"One," he says, '1n its death
agony, had plunged into the mud
with sufficient force to remain
there, head down, in a vertical
position. Others were arranged
in a horizontal series. uniformly
headed in a northeast direction"
Worked for Three Years.
He believes that their heads
were turned against a gentle cur
rent of water, because the tops
Of all the fossil ferns found in the
same bed were pointed in nearly
the opposite direction. Was there
ever so dramatic a picture Of life
on this earth countless ages ago?
And then, to think that II these
trapped creatures had been the
only representatives of their kind,
the great race OF the vertebrates
might have been extinguished in
its cradle!
Many Of the specimens were so
perfectly preserved that the dis
coverer was able to ascertain the
location OF their principal sense
organs, of their jaws, gills, stom-
ach. etc. and their mode Of loco
motion, mode Of feeding, and the
nature of their food For nearly
three years he has worked upon
these specimens in his laboratory,
gradually disclosing their internal
structure, until now he is able to
affirm that the ostracoderm was
neither a vertebrate nor an in
vertebrate, but intermediate be-
tween the two. In other words, II
is the g-missing link, and It
shows that the marine arachnids.
the great-grandfather OF the
spiders and the scorpions, gave
rise to a race of creatures IN
whom nature made her first ex-
periments toward the production
of a backbone, which no true
arachnid was ever to possess, but
which, when set erect in man, was
topped with a brain that has
made its possessor the master Of
the world and its secrets.

He Studied Scorpions.

The story of this discovery is
intensely interesting. Professor
Patten was led TO II by observing
the peculiar way in which the
eyes in the embryo Of a scorpion
are transferred from the outside
Of the head TO the blind ends of
medium tubes projecting from the
brain. This was so similar to
what takes place in vertebral ami
mails that he began to study the
embryonic development OF other
species Of srachnids, and was as
tonished to find the most striking
resemblances with vertebrates.
Among other things. he found
that the brains Of arachnids close
" mimic those Of verebrates,
both in general shape and subdi-
vision, and in their functions.
Still, he could not conclude that

TIME affirmation of science
that apes and monkeys are
our collateral relatives,
sprung from the same ancestral
stock, was once very offensive to
many good people, some of whom
still obstinately refuse to accept
1t. They think that it robs man
Of his dignity.
What, then, will they say when
told that the ancestors of spiders
and scorpions must now be in
cluded in the main trunk of the
great genealogical tree whose top
most branch terminates, for the
present, in man, and that with
out their Intervention neither
man nor monkey would have ex-
listed?

Nature Invents Backbone.

Nature lnVentS Backbone.
This assertion is based upon
the discovery by Professor VIII
liam Patten, Of Dartmouth Col
lege, of the long missing link be-
tween the vertebrate, or back
bon-d animals, and their prede-
cessors. the Invertebrates, or ami
mails without backbones.
Until nature invented the
backbone there was no possibili-
ty of the existence of an upright
animal constructed on the plan of
the human skeleton. But the first
back boned animals were fishes.
After the fishes came the am
phibians, living part of the time
in the water and part OF the time
on land From the amphibians
sprang the land reptiles and the
birds, and from the reptiles arose
the mammalians. or mother an
imals." nourishing their young
with their milk. The most pro-
gressive branch OF the mamma
lians gave origin to a partially
upright creature, which became
the common ancestor of apes on
the one hand and men on the
other.
Thus the line Of descent is clear
from man back TO the first YER
tebrates, the fishes. But ever
since the days OF Darwin zoolo-
gists have been puzzled by the
question, What animal was It
that marked the change from the
invertebrates to the fishes?"
There was the great missing
link in the chain of animal life
on this globe. Professor Patten
believes that he has discovered
this link in a curious extinct ami
NAL called the ostracoderm, which
was developed out of the family
Of the arachnids Greek arachne.
"spideTD, to which the scorpions
also belong. The arachnids them
selves are not vertebrates.
