times. How long ago that was it is
useless to try to tell, because the geo
logical periods cannot be measured in
centuries. But it was before what is
called the Age of the Great Reptiles.
Those giants, coming after it, have all
disappeared, leaving their wonderful
skeletons in the rocks, and yet this lit
tie creature survives, and shows the
same peculiar set of jaw that charac-
terized its forefathers in the beginning
of time. It recalls that famous royal
family of Europe whose representatives
still sit upon thrones and whose facial
expression never varies.
Many in Australia.
A curious fact in connection with the
caenOlestes is that other animals Of
similar kind have survived in much
greater variety in Australia, a continent
that is as remarkable for its curious
animals as for its singular situation,
away off by itself. Biologists believe
that before, and partly during Triassic
times, a great continental arm united
Australia and South America. Then.
perhaps, the ancestors of the eaenOlestes
lived IN all portions of the huge CONT
nent that was thus formed, but after
the CONFUSION that separated America
from Australia occurred the descendants
OF these animals rapidly died out in
America, leaving only the rare little
creature that we have described to make
war upon the humming birds 'Of the
tropics.

New York, Dec. 3O.-Stocks advanced
generally today, although speculation
Of the rise was not aggressive. Senti-
ment favored the long side and the
market was not influenced by poor
financial statements of railroads in
various sections, the reductions or
dered in freight rates in the middle
west, and the stiffening of call money
with the approach of the year end.
Stocks which were foremost in yes
terday's decline, particularly Reading
and Canadian Pacific, led the advance
today.
The announcement Of the receiver
ship for certain stores and interests Of
the Siegel stores corporation gave the
market a setback for a time but the
recession was not severe.
Bonds were steady.
The early afternoon movement was
downward, the market feeling more
acutely the accumulation of bearish
factors. Union Pacific's November net
earnings fell off S453O0O and London
was again a seller to a large extent
The market closed weak. Traders
became active on the short side when
it was seen there was no immediate
incentive to put up prices further.
Reading, Canadian and Amalgamated
were particularly weak.
Scale buying orders were met after
the list had quite a setback and they
impaired a better tone. Reading was
bought in big blocks again, but there
was little life in the dealings else
where.
