mountain. What vast amount of
washing and erosion of the rock and
what endless centuries of time must
have elapsed to have cut away the
thousands of square miles which now
spread below this elevated remnant of
the sea bed! From Sheep mountain
the views In all directions comprise the
most notable Bad Lands scenery in the
world. Below lies the shattered and
fantastic fragment of the once great
plateau, curved and cut and twisted
into thousands OF queer and eerie
shapes. There are groups Of great
gray birdlike forms; there are things
with long necks and heads that resem-
BILE ostriches; there are shapes that
might be taken for herds of some mon
strous, unknown animals, and gardens
of giant mushrooms; even profiles and
full views OF the human face that
might surely. from their appearance,
have been sculptured by clever work
men OF some forgotten race, so perfect
are the expressions of these heroic
statues-all carved, however. by the
rain and the wind blowing the sand
particles against the soft rock.
Once Teemed With Life.
Absolutely deserted as are the Bad
Lands today, except for the occasional
traveller. this great plateau, in the very
long ago, when the world was very
young, was teeming with animal life.
No such animals are alive today; only
their smaller descendants. The huge
Titanotherium, which fed upon the
iuxuriant growth of almost tropical
vegetation with which the Bad Lands
were at one time clothed, would have
made the largest rhinoceros Of the
present age look like sucking pig.
This antediluyian monster was IA feet
long and stood nine feet high. Other
monsters were the Oredon and the
Elatherium, while great cat or pan
ther-tiger preyed upon the herb eaters
of the time. The bones of hundreds
of these animals have been found EN-
bedded in the rock strata of the Bad
Lands. The region has ever been re
nowned as veritable storehouse Of
the fossil skeletons Of these pre-
historic animals which lived hundreds
OF centuries before TIE epoch Of thu
first man.

" HE Black Hills of South Da-
kota and Wyoming, which are
in fact mountains rising from
the great plains to an eleva-
ti0n of 1000 or more feet above sea
level, were millions of years ago, a
small, low island, surrounded by a
vast shallow sea. This sea extended
as far west as the Rocky mountains,
which were mere highlands rising
above it, writes Guy e. Mitchell in the
Utica Saturday Globe.
The average traveller today. much
less the bandits and Indians who have
in recent years infested this elevated
region, would probably, according to
their various nationalities, smile
grimly or laugh to scorn the statement
that this portion of the country. now
30 arid and barren. was once the
ocean, and later a vast tropical
swamp, among whose rank and luxu-
RANT vegetation lurked strange and
huge reptiles, and on the shores of
which roamed giant herbivorous ami
mails, which were in turn preyed upon
by the terrible f1esh-eating monsters of
the carly world. Such, however, is the
fact as attested by the vast quantities
of fossilized bones which have been
found imbedded in the rocks and many
of which are now mounted in lifelike
attitudes in various museums of the
country.
Following this age of sea and swamp
the whole region was uplifted thou
sands of feet by the dynamic forces
from within the earth; the hills be-
came mountains and the bed of the
