GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS
Bones Discovered Prove That in the
Miocene Period They Were Truly
of Enormous Size.

In so far as birds are concerned,
some of the oldest fossils, in the mat
ter of time (Miocrnc), which have
fallen into the hands of science, are
those representing the great, flight
less, fossil avian giants of Patagonia in
South America. They belong to the
phororhacidae, II. w. Shufcldt writes
In the Scientific American.
Judging from such parts of their fos-
Sil bones as have been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
or prey. Some Of the species were
small, but this is made up for by the
others; and in the case of one of them
brontornis) 1t had Il thigh bone con-
siderably larger and longer than that
Of an OK.
or all the remarkable nightless birds
OF this group, however, was the giant
phor0rhacos. 1t must have been over
eight feet in height, with skull big
ger than that Of q full grown horse,
and much deeper from above down
ward. We know little or nothing of
these birds or what led to their ex-
tlnction. With It's great hooked beak
and powerful claws of great size.
phororhacos must have been a terror
to the animals upon which it proved.
Skulls and some other bones of this
Dird have been discovered.

How to Read.

At best the printed words Of an au-
thor represent but poor fraction Of
what Is In his thought and feeling. OF
what he would express IL he could.
Therefore, it is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on "rcading for the thought"
and get into the habit OF looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
Of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help YOU to understand the au-
thOr's meaning by cOmprchcndlng his
words, but the act Of concentration
fortilizcs and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
