THE STORY OF EXOGYRA
An Extinct MoIlusk Of Value to the
Scientists

Many thousands of years ago, before
the birth of the Rocky mountains and
when the shores of the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf of Mexico lay far inland
from there present pOsition-when in
deed the North American continent
was relatively very small-there lived
in the seas and estuaries, together with
various species of oysters vast num-
bers of a closely related mollusk with
a twisted shell which is now known
to science as Exogyra- AS the years
passed, the colonies of Exogyra flour
ished, and the places Of those that died
were taken by younger members, while
the old shells became entombed within
the slowly accommodating deposits of
sand mud, and limy ooze. In the prog
reSS of the centuries there developed
in the shape and ornamentation of the
shells certain changes that were suf-
ficiently pronounced to enable the spe-
cialist of today not only to distinguish
the shells of members of the original
colonies from those of their descen-
dants but also to recognize several dis
tinct varities among the later. shells.
In the course of time-a very long
time, for we are speaking geologically
the stresses which has accumulated
within the earth during an extended
period of quiescence found relief in
the movements of the outer crust.
which brought about the uplift of the
Rocky mountains and materially alt
cred the shape and size of the ocean
basins. The resultant shifting of the
ocean currents produced changes in
the temperature of the water and in
the abundance and character of the
food supply. The unfortunate Exogy-s
"a, unlike his more hardy cousin, the
oyster. was unable to adapt himself to
the changing physical conditions and
became extinct.
After the lapse of ages the retreat of
the seas from the borders of the cont :
nent brought above the sea level the
sediments, now turned to stone and
covered by a mass of later deposits,
which contained the fossil shells of the
EXogyra. Subsequent erosion by rain
and running water has carved valleys
and ravines which expose from top to
bottom, the fosSiliferous sediments and
enable the geologist to interpret their
history, using the different varities or
species of Exogyra to identify definite
rock beds and thus trace them across
country with a certainty impossible

AUTOS DEFEAT
RUNNING STEED
Police Patrol and a Touring
Car Figure in Sensational
Capture of Runaway
Horse - Auto Collides
with a Rig.

With a man and a child seated in
the buggy, j. E. Everett removed the
bride from his horse at Five Points,
late Friday afternoon, in order that
the animal might drink at the wa
tering trough at that section. The
horse becoming frightened, broke
away from Everett and dashed at
breakneck speed along Van Buren,
street and across Central avenue.
At First avenue the driver of an
automobile saw the predicament OF
the two in the rig and started in
pursuit. The horse slowed up for an
instant and the occupants jumped.
Before he could be caught, however,
the steed renewed his maddened gal
lop. About this time Chief of Po-
lice Brisbois in the patrol wagon got
his eye on the outfit and he too
started in pursuit.
The driver of the automobile man
aged to pass the horse and buggy
and then attempted to veer him off
into the ditch The animal, how
ever, slowed up a trifle, ran around
the rear end of the machine and
again started along the street. This
was repeated several times. The pa
troll was being brought up in the
rear by Chief Brisbois and at last
just as the animal was once more
attempting to avoid the first auto
mobile, he found himself confronted
by the broad sides of the police car
An instant later rope was about
his neck There was little damage
to the rig. The horse had run all
the way from Seventh avenue to
about Fifteenth street, on busy
street, and had skipped every con-
veyance enroute.
Less fortunate was Mrs. NJ. J..
Thomas. who lives near the Indian
school. She came to town the same
evening with a borrowed buggy. She
met Mrs NJ. Canady and Leo Canady,
who had just arrived on the evening
train from Kansas, to pay her a
visit At Monroe and Third streets
she attempted !. TO turn into Monroe
street, when an automobile driven
by H. S. SchaWlis of Tempe, crashed
into the side of the buggy, crushing
one of the forward wheels and other
wise damaging the buggy. Before
any of the occupants could jump, the
| horse had started on a run. He con-
| tinued half d block then tried to take
the sidewalk. He encountered tree
and the occupants were thrown out
Fortunately they landed in the grass
and none was hurt, although Mrs
Canady was considerably shocked
| Schawlis stopped his machine and
| said that if he was to blame he
would settle for the damages. He
| admitted that as he approached the
corner he was looking down into his
car and failed to notice the horse
| and buggy turning into Monroe street
| from Third street.

Thomas Jefferson Hogg, the humor-

an old fragment of classic jargon still
preserved a certain magical power to
soften the savage breast.
One day, as he walked near Covent
Garden, an Irish laborer fancied Hogg
had pushed him, and turned upon the
young Oxonian, who was alone, with
angry abuse A number of bystanders
quickly gathered to see what promised
to be row.
Hogg turned upon the Irishman. Il

TEST MAKES SURE OF DEATH
Injection of FIuoresein VIII Tell Abso-

In Body.

A remarkable new method of test
ing absolutely whether a person is
really dead and thus avoiding the pos
sibility of premature burial, just an
nounced by Doctor Icard, of Marseil-
les, has been received with great in
terest by his colleagues in Paris.
Doctor Icard's system depends on
the question whether the blood is still
in circulation or not, and consists of
subcutaneons injection of a small
quantity of f1uoresein, which is quite
harmless, but one of the most violent
coloring matters known.
If there be the slightest motion of
the blood the fuoresein, carried around
the body, staines it a vivid golden
yellow, while the eyes become deep
emerald green. If, on the other hand,
there is no movement of the blood the
coloring matter is not dispersed, and
produces no effect. Half an hour is
The laity, while duly impressed by
this neat method, are asking whether
persons who are alive and undergo
the dyeing process, and who later re-
cover, will lose the golden yellow tint
and the green eyes, which, as Doc

formed into superb emeralds, set like
jewels in their sockets. - -

MAC WANTS TO MOVE
Oklawaha Route is Too Slow in His
Estimation

rect the pending appropriation for

DESIRES TO, OBTAIN DATA
Growers and Shippers League Calls
for Information on Express

for Information on Express
Rates
Orlando, Feb 25. 1914 a.
To Members of the Florida Growers
and Shippers League:
Now that the new express rates are
IN full operation, the Florida Grow
ers and Shippers League desires to
obtain definite information as to the
effect of these new rates on ship
ments now going out by express from
various points in Florida. 1t is i'm
possible for anyone to pass upon the
justice or injustice of the changes.
until we have a considerable amount
of data
A number of shippers in different
parts of the state have been asked
to keep records on their shipments
for period of ten days and to sub
NIT the results to this league SO that
we may accumulate considerable
data from which to determine the
effects of the changes, and if neces-
sary later to use the information at
an interstate commerce hearing. The
manager of the league desires the
cooperation of other shippers in this
same work. Will you kindly send to
] the league statement covering GER
tain information about your ship
ments for ten days, being very care
full to include every express ship
ment of fruits and vegetables made
during this specified period We do
not want the shipments selected be-
1 cause the rates happen to be lower
or higher in that particular case; we
must have data on every shipment
i handled during the ten days. The
following information covering each
shipment should be sent:
[. The date of shipment
z. The number and size of the
boxes or crates in each shipment
i 3. The kind of fruits or vegeta-
bles shipped.
4. The estimated weight of the
shipment
i 5. The point to which the ship
ment goes.
4 6. The amount charged for the
shipment
This will mean some work on the
: Ipart of the individuals furnishing
!, this information. If large number
, of shippers will cooperate with the
, league in this matter, however, We
. will secure an invaluable amount of
information.
The basis of this new rate is cor
rect without doubt. The Interstate
Commerce Commission. has spent
much time in developing system OF
, rate-making which is fundamentally
correct. 1t is to be expected that in
making such radical changes, some
mistakes would be made. The idea
: that every express shipper of fruits
and vegetables in Florida is paying a
higher rate than FORMERLY is entire
, ly wrong. There have been many re-
, auctions. There have also been in
creases, especially on single box lots
/ to certain northern points. The Flor
: ida, Growers and, Shippers League
! can do nothing to correct any injus-
tices until we have mass OF infor-
nation to present. The shippers must
furnish this data. Very truly,
