aquatic, necessarily 50 because Of their
gigantic size, which would make it .
physical impossibility for them to
emerge entirely on dry land. AS long
as these animals were in the water their
weight would be largely buoyed up, and
they would attain, like the living whales
and various extinct sea-monsters, a size
that is impracticable for a terrestrial
animal Thus, too, they would be out Of
reach of the great carnivorous dinosaurs
of the land, against whose attacks they
had apparently no such means OF self
defense as the land dinosaurs possessed
1t is, OF course, obvious that they were
adapted for wading on the bottom, not
for swimming, although no doubt they
could swim as well.
According to this theory. the gigan-
tosaurus acquired his huge fOrequarters
and long neck in adaptation to living In
deeper waters than his relatives. Here
he could wade about in the shallower
waters, feeding upon the luxuriant trop-
icaI vegetation that fringed the pro-
tected shores and retreating to deeper
waters when attacked by the fierce car
nivorous dinosaurs of the land. After
death the carcass would usually be more
or less dismembered"a and pulled apart
by fishes or aquatic carnivora before it
drifted into a quiet spot and was buried
in the slowly accumulating mud.
THE subsequent geologic ages. which
piled successive deposits of sand and
clay above him and finally brought his
remains again to the surface after mil
lions Of years Of burial and slow pet
rifaction, have witnessed vast changes
in the world of life. The various dino
saurs. terrestrial and aquatic, which
were his contemporaries, and the great
variety OF land and water life of his
time became extinct, only to be succeeded
by another long period Of evolution OF
new kinds Of dinosaurs Of even more
extraordinary types, although none at
tanned the gigantic size of the saurop-
oda. Then these in turn disappeared
and the way was left clear for the evolu-
ton of the mammals or higher Verte-
brates into the various types Of living
Quadrupeds, and toward the end Of this
long period, in some region yet unex-
plored, the progenitors Of man evolved
from the monkey ancestry into the cul-
minating type Of evolution"

English Startling Proves Pest.

THE Bureau Of Biological Survey Of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture finds that the European
startling, which was introduced into the
United States nearly twenty-five years
ago, Is markedly insectiyorous, and
preys upon many noIious varieties In
this respect It Ii to be classed among our
useful birds. So far as is known it has
not proved destructive to grain crops,
but is fond Of small fruits. and is likely
to become a pest to the orchardist. In
addition, 1t prefers tree cavities, boxes
or recesses in buildings for nesting sites
and thus Is brought In competition with
certain Of the useful native birds, more
particularly the bluebird. purple martin,
White-bellied swallow. house wren and
flicker.
The bird is steadily extending its ter
ritory, and the bureau urges the with
drawal Of all protection from it, as has
been done in Connecticut. New Jersey,

90 large that I ridieuled the idea and
put 1t down as a stretch Of the imagina-
ton. The natives were very anxious TO
be our guides, but / could not at the
time bring myself to believe in or trust
these creatures.
Since seeing Carl Hagenback's re-
port OF what he had heard from the
same source, ] am convinced that the
monsters described are still in existence.
Ny information points to the creatures
being Inhabitants Of the surroundings Of
the lakes In the interior of the desert.
That the Rhodesian swamps exist there
is ample proof.
THE animals described to me are.
first. one like an elephant. but Of enor-
nous size. the elephant appearing like
a small eat by the side OF the other.
The second corresponds in every detail
TO the pictures one sees in the bush
mems caves throughout Africa OF the
unicorn. The third is what we conceive
a dragon to be like. These monsters
and many more monsters which are sup
posed to be extinct may still be discoy-
cred either In the marshes or in the
desert"
Carl Hagenback quotes native run
ners as telling him of a creature in the
swamps OF Rhodesia that was "a huge
monster, half elephant and half dragon,
which was a terror to all men by reason
OF its great size and swiftness." An
other writer has also heard of these
monsters. He submitted to the natives
sketches Of geological monsters and, cor
recting these as the natives suggested,
al last he evolved a drawing which the
natives agreed resembled the terrors of
the swamps.
1t had the head and tail of a croco-
die, the horns OF a rhinoceros, the neck
of a python and the body Of a hippo
potamus. 1t propelled itself with its
fiappers.
1t is interesting to compare this de-
scription with that Of the supposedly
extinct brontOsaurus or diplodocus as
given by DR.. w. d. Matthew, of the de-
partment OF paieontoIogy in the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History.
1T has," he says, "a long. flexible neck
like that Of the ostrich, a thick. short,
Slab-sided body, and straight massive
post-like limbs. suggesting the elephant,
and . remarkably small head for the
size Of the beast
As for the specimen found and put
together with the Berlin authorities, the
like Of which may still be found in the
African swamps DR.. Matthew gives q
description of the creature and q sug-
gestion Of its life in the Scientific
American.
The Berlin authorities believe that
the animal was amphibious," says DR..
Matthew. Il have already advocated
the view that these sO-ealIed amphib-
ious dinosaurs we're really entirely

the natives. by reason of the heat, the
moisture and the mephitic vapors which
rise from the marshes. White men have
never ventured to explore them. They
are too dangerous because Of reptiles.
insects and disease. They are regions
entirely suitable for the dragons OF mil
lions OF years ago.
Dragon is q very flexible word. It
can mean many different sorts of ami
mails. But the general idea oG a dragon
is a beast with a head like a rhinoceros.
q hippopotamus, or crocodile, with a
body Of great size. a tail like a croco-
dile and claws like those of a lion or
an eagle. Sometimes it has wings like
q bat.
In Q broad way these legendary de-
scriptions coincide with those the geolo-
gists give us of the bearers of the huge
skeletons that we stare at in our mu-
seums-the bones Of the dinosaurus.
brontosaurus, diplodocus. pIesiosaurus,
pterodactyl, megalosaurus, ichthyosau-
rus and all the other giant animals
whose names are as terrible as they
themselves must have been.
Explorer Brooks has written to the
English government asking 1t to make
Q search for these creatures.
Having seen the picture OF the eight
foot diplodocus, now In the Paris Mu-
scum of Natural History, It brings back
to my mind many stories l heard from
natives and pygmies while hunting on
the border Of the great Sahara desert,
regarding monsters which are still in
existence" he says.
The animals were described as being
The Washington herald., 1914-12-27

Africa had described to him - huge
monster. half beast, half dragon" which
inhabited these swamps.
1t would be very strange, indeed. II
some such brute should be discovered
alive today and thus leEd eorroboration
to the medieval stories and legends Of
dragons. Did the people Of the ancient
world ever see any Of these monstersf
All Of them, at any rate, have fables
about them. China from time immO-
mortal has used the tabled dragon a.
its symbol The ancient Greek heroes
slew dragons. The hoary sagas Of the
Norsemen tell of dragons. Even the
legends Of the Christian saints are fun
of stories of these awful monsters. The
myth of st. George and the dragon II
perpetuated to this very day on the gold
coin of England.
Is 1t not possible that the awful q
gantic creatures, the bones Of which are
being dug up every now and then. are
the dragons of old, and that the prehis-
toric people who lived among them and
fed in terror from them handed down
their experiences by word Of mouth
experiences which later grew into fan
tastic tales of the dragonf
The Chinese, the Greeks. the Jews,
the Norsemen, the Gauls, Britons, Ro-
mans and Persians of the Dark Ages
knew nothing of the bones Of extinct
monsters lying buried under the earth.
Then whence came their conception Of
the dragon? II is entirely possible that
these beasts and reptiles Of millions Of
years ago survived to a later day than
the geologists are willing to admit, and
that men actually fought and slew them.
II such was the case, the memory or
the tradition Of such fearsome oombats
would hnger in the mouths Of men and
be transmitted from father 10 son In
story and song, generation after genera
ton. How else account for the almost
universal belief in dragons that prevailed
TO comparatively recent days?
1t would not be so very strange n
the hot swamps Of Africa sheltered
some descendants Of these primeval
monsters. These swamps are regions
which resemble the prehistoric habita-
lions Of these monsters which needed
heat and water for their existence.
These regions still resemble the world
wide forests of millions OF years ago.
They are almost impenetrabIe even to

height of twenty feet at the
~ shoulders should come walking
along the main street Of the
town! Wouldn't it cause a little ex-
element?
Each Of his feet could easily cover Q
street car and smash it and its passen-
gers to q state beyond recognition. He
could easily look over the top of an
eight-story building without straining
his neck In the least. He could easily
in his plsyfulness push over q two or
three-story house or building without
any efrort at all. Andlif he took II into
his head to roll over on his back while
the crowds were gazing in awe at him,
there would be something more than Q
hundred people who would never know
what had happened to them.
1t isn't probable that a gigantosaurus
will come to town, but 1t is within the
realms Of possibility. The gigantosauri,
like the fools, are not all dead yet, 1t
seems II the word of Charles Brooks,
an explorer and scientist, and Of Carl
HGgenback, the animal dealer, IL to be

Africa. II they are not gigantosauri,
they are animals equally as great and
fierce, and almost any day now one Of
them may be shot, Isssoed or trapped
and brought to America to push over
. building or two.
The finding Of the bones in East
Africa Of the biggest gigantosaurus yet
known to scientists gives further weight
to the statements Of Brooks and HageH-
back that there are prehistoric monsters
still in existence in Africa's swamps. 1t
was a German expedition which found
the remains, and after spending two
years putting them together, the expe-
dit!on announces it has assembled the
most gigantic gigantosaurus yet known
to man.
