The south of England was alive with
them when there was plenty of good
lush green stuff to keep them going.
Conditions have changed. and the
beasts died. Here it seems that the
conditions have not changed, and the
beasts have lived"
If ever we get out of this alive

John. Lord, how some of that Soma
Hand Uganda crowd would turn a
beautiful pea green if they saw it! /
don't know what you chaps think, but
it strikes me that we are on mighty
thin ice all this time"
1t was destined that on this very
morning-our first in the new country
we were TO find out what strange
hazards lay around us. 1t was a lOath-
some adventure and one of which |
hate to think. If. as Lord John said,
the glade of the iguanOdoEs viii re-
main with US as q dream, then surely
the swamp of the pterOdactyls will for
ever be our nightmare. Let NE set
down exactly what occurred.
We passed very slowly through the
woods, partly because Lord Roxton
acted as scout before he would let US
advance and partly because at every
second step one or other of our profess
sors would fall, with a cry Of wonder,
before some flower or insect which pre-
scented him with new type. We may
have Travelled two or three miles in ALL
keeping TO the right of the line of the
stream, when we came upon consid-
cradle opening in the trees. A belt of
brushwood led up TO tangle of rocks
The whole plateau was strewn with
powders. We were walking slowly to-
ward these rocks, among bushes which
reached over our waists, when we be-
came aware of a strange, low Cabling
and whistling sound, which filed the
afr with a constant clamor and APP
peared to come from some spot imme-
diately before US. Lord John held up
his hand as a signal for us to stop, and
he made his way swiftly, STOPPING and
running, to the line OF rocks. We saw
him peep over them and give gesture
of amaZement Then he stood staring
as If forgetting us, so utterly entranced
was he by what he saw. Finally he
waved us to come on, holding up his
hand as signal for caution. His whole
bearing made me feel that something
very wonderful. but dangerous. lay be-
fore us.
Creeping TO his side, we looked over
the rocks. The place into which we
gazed was a pit and may in the early
days have been one of the smaller vol
canic blowholes of the plateau. 1t was
sowl shaped, and at the bottom, some
hundreds of yards from where we lay,
were pools of green scummed, stagnant
water. fringed with bullrushes. 1t
was a weird place in Itself, but Its oc-
cupants made it seem like a scene
from the Seven Circles OF Dante.
The place was a rookery OF pterodac-
tvls. There were hundreds or them
congregated within view. All the bot
tom area around the water edge was
alive with their young ones and with
hideous mothers brooding upon their
leathery. yeIlowish eggs. From this
crawling. Tapping mass Of unclean rep
titan life came the shocking clamor

the babies were as big as elephants,

They had slate colored skin. which

and their heads undulating high above
the brushwood. Then they vanished
from our sight.

Rivers of Eden.

The Euphrates is one Of the four
rivers of Eden in the book of Genesis,
and the Hiddekel, (which goeth to-
ward the east of Assyria," has gen.
orally been identified as the Tigris.
But what were the Gihon and the Pi-
son? Since the Gihon 'encompasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia" it is natu-
raj to suppose it to be the Nile, while
the Pison has been found in the Gan
ges. But in this case, what was the
main stream from which these four
flowed? 1t could only be the ocean
stream encompassing the earth, in
which the ancients believed. Those
who have wished to find accurate
scientific geography in the record have
been compelled to shift Eden up into
Armenia and find the Pisen and Gihon
in minor streams or to conjecture
with Luther that Noah's flood radical
ly altered the original arrangements
of the streams.-London Chronicle.
