this is true. The heat was intensified
at times during the day by the fact that
very little breeze was stirring This
served to accentuate the heat even in
the afternoon when clouds had formed
for a time from showers that did NOT
reach Americus.
A heavy rain was reported from that
section of the county lying along the
road from Americus to Leslie, several
people in cars having seen the heavy
rainfall there during the afternoon
There were showers reported from
other sections Of the county, too. which
makes it the hope OF everybody In
Americus that there will be showers
today to cool off the atmosphere ami
to help break the drouth here.

the vertebrates sprang direct from
the modern scorpions and spiders,
because 1t 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 fiourished before any verte-
brate animal had appeared. Evi-
IDENTIFY he must look for the miss
ing link afar back in geological
time.
Accordingly. he went back NH
lions of years and fixed his sus-
picions upon the mysterious ma
rine animal ostracoderm, which,
although Il 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 or 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, 1t had been the muddy
bed Of a 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, 'in its death
agony, had plunged into the mud
with sufficient force to remain
there, head down, in 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 ago2
And then, to think that If these
trapped creatures had been the
only representatives Of their kind.
the great race Of the vertebrates
might have been extinguished in
its cradlel
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 giIls, 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 heis able to
affirm that the ostracoderm was
neither a vertebrate nor an in
vertebrate, but intermediate be-
tween the two. In other words, Il
IS the long-missine link, and II
shows that the marine arachnids,
the great-grandfather OF the
spiders and the scorpions, gave
rise to race Of creatures m
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.

TIME affirmation Of science
that apes and monkeys are

still obstinately refuse to accept
it. They think that it robs man

Nature Invents Backbone.

InlS assertion is based upon
the discovery by Professor VII
liam Patten. of Dartmouth Col
lege, of the long missing link be-
tween the vertebrate, or back
boned 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 ne has discovered
this link I'm a curious extinct anil
NAL called the ostracoderm. which
was developed out of the family
Of the arachnids Greek arachne.
"splder'O, TO which the scorpions
also belong. The arachnids them
selves are not vertebrates.
He Studied Scorpions.
The story Of this discovery IS
intensely interesting. Professor
Patten was led TO # by observing
the peculiar way I'm 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 arachnids, and was as
tonished 10 find the most striking
alliances with vertebrates.
Among other things. he found
that the brains Of arachnids close
" mimic those Of we're brates,
both in general shape and subdi-
vision, and in their functions.
Still, he could not conclude that

REFORMER TAKES
TO CONVICT GARB
Thomas M. Osborne, New York
Philanthropist, Begins Self
Imposed Term.

Auburn. N. Y, Sept. 30.-Thomas
Mott Osborne. reformer and philan.
thropist, also chairman of the state
commission on prison reform, entered
Auburn prison yesterday, lost his
identity, and is now inside the walls
as Tom Brown
His transformation within a few
hours into a 'yic," accomplished at his
own behest in order that he may study
prison conditions first hand, is COM
plete so far as physical appearance
and his own obedience to every rule
of the institution is concerned.
Last night he passed without .ques.
ton the most uncomfortable night of
his entire career as an inmate of a
cell in the south wing, fellow men,
Der of the gray brotherhood, but the
little that leaks out indicates that he
is going the pace that all convicts
must follow.
| He walked into the prison Office In
time to be put through the routine
ceiver of stolen goods from Jefferson
county, who came here to do hit" of
two years and seven months.
Mr.. Osborne, who assumed the alias
of Thomas Brown, was bathed, ex.
amined by the prison physicians, out
| fitted in a suit of gray with gray cap,
prison shoes, heavy, coarse socks, and
underwear, and was assigned to the
idle company" convicts, whose tenn
fol
being put into regular jobs because
of their tendency to make trouble.
With this gang he worked part of the
day moving furniture, transporting
supplies, and doing various errands
and tasks about the buildings.
Last night he was locked into a cell
and after taking his supper ration
of half loaf of bread and a tin cup
of coffee listened to the unsteady in
clined convicts who played their man
dolins or mouth harmonious in the
cells.
He read book from the prison
library a part of the time and at 8
O'Clock obeyed the rules with lights
out and silence. For dinner yesterday
Mr.. Osborne ate bean soup, boiled
potatoes, and boiled ham, sweet mixed
pickles, bread and coffee.
The prison authorities at his re-
quest decline to allow any communi-
cation from the outside, and he is
absolutely cut of until the period of
his experiment is over.
Local friends of Mr. Osborne recall
a similar experiment he conducted
several years ago as public service
commissioner of the Second district.
He had been assigned by the commits
sion to investigate the merits of a
petition of railroad men for extra
men on the crews of railroad enter
ing this state from Pennsylvania The
railroad company offered stiff opposi-
ton to the petition.
In order to determine the merits of
the employees case Mr. Osborne de-
cided to don overalls and work with
the brakemen on several runs. AS
a result he found that an additional
man was justified and the public serv-

TIME third week in September is
the anniversary week OF the
crisis in the Federal campaign
against Chattanooga, Tenn,
which eliminated in the fierce battle
near Chickamauga creek on the Goth
and retreat Of the Federals into Chat
tanooga. When the campaign opened
General Braxton Bragg's Confederate
army was holding the town. The Fed
eral Army of the Cumberland set out
TO capture ii, but its leader. General
W. S. Rosecrans. instead Of attacking
the stronghold direct marched around
on a wide circuit to tempt his foe into
an open field fight. Bragg marched
out Of Chattanooga southwark. and
the two armies played hide and seek
among the mountains until Rosecrans
was on the inside of the circle. with
the Confederates cut off from Chatta-
nooga.
General Bragg discovered his plight
when the Chickamauga creek lay be-
tween him and the foe and Chatta-
nooga. He sent one corps across the
creek on the 18th of September. These
troops showed themselves TO some
Federal outposts who belonged to the
corps Of General George II. Thomas.

The fight around Baird was Bragg's
first venture for the destruction of
Thomas. 1t failed, and the Confederate
chieftain took up the mightier plan of
hurling one mass between Thomas
and McCook to cut the Federal army
in two and another to overwhelm
Thomas on the left flank and cut him
of from Rossville.
Thomas remained master Of one mile
of breastwOrks. His guns formed a
barrier between the eager Confederates
and a road passing along the rear of
his battlefield which connected the two

led on northward to Chattanooga.
