DIGGING FOR RICHES.

Not every man Is qualified to be a
miner and dolvo beneath the soil for
the wealth that nature has hidden
there Neither is every man so con-
stIutcd that ho can take good book
and dig out Of 1t the intellectual
riches that come only 10 the earnest
seeker after wisdom. In either case.
the riches are there awaiting tho
finder. but many men will dig with
out finding them and many men are
content 10 make living without dig
Fing. To scholarly mind. like the
Man About Town" and others we arc
too modest TO mention. there is n
great delight IN the digging process.
but In this rapid age Of the world
there are comparatively few who find
time to do moro than skim the sur
face Unless. then, We find way to
present wisdom to them I'm an easy
form that they can understand ana
assimilate. they are bound to miss
much Of the good there Is in life.
We do object however. to having any
fossilizcd hookworm prescribe set
form of reading TO secure the best
results. The same prescription. even
IL conscicntiuusly swallowed accord

men exactly the same. What is riches

in the knowledge Of what he pos

for men who can turn knowledge
into 4 practical benefit. not to them
selves alone, but to make the world
better and mankind happier and more
Tho Joy of discovery Is

EYES.
LIZARD HAS THREE
Survival of Era OF Is Million Years
Ago Comes From New Zealand.

1t has three eyes. skin like an alli-
gator and a row of teeth down the
middle of its back. What is it?
No. you're wrong. 1t is a Tautera
spenodon punctatah Gray. and it is
the newest addition to the Carnegie
museum at Pittsburgh.
1t is alive-the only live exhibit in
the institution. There are two speci-
mems in wire cage in one corner of
the room in which the great fossil re-
mains of some Of the largest animals
that ever inhabited the earth are
erected.
The two specimens were presented
to the Carnegie museum bv the gov
ernment of New Zealand. their native
habitat.
These reptiles represent the very
oldest species known to have existed
They belong to the order of PhyncfI-
cephalia, which were numerous In
JurassC times, the sole survivors Of
which are the present species.
These specimens retain character
istics now lost. among which is the
third or pineal eye under the skin at
the top of the skull.
The two specimens in the Carnegie
museum have attracted crowds ever
since their advent as members OF the
museums family of curiosities. They
are very slow moving creatures and
look almost like animated fossils
when they do move.
DR.. w. j. Holland, director of the
museum. said concerning the speci-
mems: These reptiles flourished in
the Jurassic period. fifteen million
years ago. The tuatera has come down
all the way from that distant past
with practically no anatomical
change.
"As link connecting the present
with past in which the existence OF
such creature as man was not even
family suggested. these survivors of
the Jurassic age claim attention. and
their study throws "A light upon the
structure of a great host of creatures
which long since vanished from our
globe"
