A UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT

January II, Smith Damron, the
Potter Craftsman, will appear in the
opera house for unique lecture in
the Lyceum course. AS an introduc-
ton to his demonstration. he dons
his potter's apron and explains the
art OF pottery making, and the his
tory of pottery. Since this art is
considered the oldest in existence.
the information gained from it is of
great interest Then he begins his
real work-that of presenting to his
listeners the story OF human life
out OF the clay which he moulds as
he talks. This becomes SO real that
1t would seem as II the clay could
talk to him.
j. Smith Damron comes to us with
splendid record. In Indianapolis
he talked to an audience of 400
men.

TIGERS AND RHINOCEROSES IN
NEBRASKA

Could the traveller in Nebraska
restore the landscape of late Ter
tiary time, he would find himself
surrounded by scenes greatly differ
ent from those of the present. The
swampy lowlands were covered with
vegetation similar to that now grow
ing in moist climates farther south.
Camels and llamas wore abundant.
and during tho PEocene epoch great
ground sloths and glyptodonts,
whose relatives now live in South
America, inhabited western Nebras-
ka Mastodons with tusks on both
the upper and lower jaws, much like
those of the Miocene epoch, still per-
sisted. Short-logged rhinocoroses
remained abundant, and there wns
a great variety of wolf-like carni-
vora. Saber-toothod tigers and true
cats, some of them considerably
larger than the modern tigers, were
also abundant Three-toed horses
were still numerous. but the modern
genus Equus was not among them.
One of the most curious animals of
the time in Kansas and Nebraska
was a gopher-like rodent that had
two large horns on Its nose. It's
enormous claws indicate good bur-
rowing powers and its horns also
may have been used in digging
