on BANK OF RIVER;
Is 1000 YEARS OLD

The discovery Of the bone Of came
on the banks Of the Old Crow River
In Alaska, has led scientists TO the
conclusion that at the same time tina,
the part of the continent Of North
America now occupied by the United
States was too cold for human habita-
ton. the Alaskan peninsula had almos,
a tropical climate This IL according
to ]. w. Gidley, who lectured last night
before the Biological Society of Wash
inEton at the Cosmos Club.
The camel bone was found last year
by Copley Amory, Of the National MI
scum. and Mr.. Gidley argued that its
presence in Alaska showed q tropical
climate and showed further that at the
time the bones were laid down-between
10000 and 100000 years ago-Alaska and
Asia were connected by a land bridge
across which the camels had journeyed
from the American continent to Asia,
where they now are found.
