No, you're wrong. 1t is a tuatera
spenodon punctatah gray, and 1t Is tne
newest addition to the Carnegie Mu-
scum of Pittsburgh. 1t is alive-the only
live exhibit in the institution.
There are two specimens in a wire
cage tn one corner of the room in which
the great fossil remains Of some of the
largest animals that ever inhabited the
earth are erected.
The two specimens were presented
to. the Carnegie Museum by the gov
eminent of New Zealand, their native
habitat. These reptiles represented the
oldest species known to have existed
from which the birds, the dinosaurs
and probably the mammals of today
are descended.
They belong to the order of Phyncho-
cephalia, which were numerous in Jul
rassic times, the sole survivors OF
which are the present species. These
specimens retain characteristics now
lost, among which is the third or pi-
neal eye under the, skin at the top, OF

Forest Reserve Employees Gather Rats

Many Mexican refugees at Douglas,
Ariz., are using rat nests for fuel at
rs cents a cord or IS a carload.
The idea of marketing rat nests orig
mated with employees of the Chircahua
national forest near Douglas. The nests
are being sold in accordance with the
established policy of the forest service
to market all valuable products of the
national forests when this can be done
without damage to the forests or in
justice to forest users.
The nests are built Of chips, bark,
branches and other wood debris found
in abundance on areas cut over by
timber contractors. Pack rats are we'll
known for their architecture.
They collect this waste material in
large quantities and utilize it in the
construction of their abodes, which fire.
quently rise to height of 3 feet.
At present two Mexicans are buying
the nests from the government in car
load lots and selling them to dealers in
Douglas, who in turn dispose of them
to poor refugees from Mexico by the
cord. They make fairly good fuel

New Hand. For Soldiers.

German scientists are giving atten-
ton to the development of artificial
arms, equipped with electromagnetic
Selling and holding, 3nec,ia1.;srn, The
underlying idea Is simply this:
The sleeve inclosing the stump of
the arm is provided at its outer, end
with a shaped or bell-shaped mag
net. which can be adjusted or held in
a ball end socket so as to bring the
retaining face of the magnet in any
position desired. The magnet may
then be either clamped tight or else
left movable against slight resistance.
The pot magnet Is connected with a
current supply by means of a screw
plug. Connection is made by moving
some other part Of the body, for ext
ample the foot, the chin, the remaining
arm, the damaged arm itself, or even
the whole body.
The pot-magnet makes 1t possible
not only to grasp all iron objects, but
also &c held then. light q. &c asst
and move them for any length of time.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-04-24

During these manipulations the con-
nection between the stump and the
object (tooD is not n rigid but a
movable one. For this reason the
magnetic hand may be used by all
workmen who work with iron tools or
iron articles. AS a rule, the tool need
not be specially altered or given a
special shape for the mutilated man,
since the magneticahand is capable OF
grasping the tool ut any place, pro-
yided it is made Of iron.-Popular
