LOST WORLD FOUND,
EXPLORER DECLARES
Expeaition Viii Scale Heights ia
search Of Ancient Animals
and Custnn,s


ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. A lost
world, inhabited by birds. with leather
wings and teeth. and thousands OF
other strange and weird creatures, has
been found IN the Usage hills. in a
wild and only partially explored sec
tton Of northwestern Oklahoma The
tale of the lost world was brought here
by John Bruno. a member of the Usage
Indian tribe. who has a reputation as
an explorer
The story told By Bruno is as
strange as that related by Sir Arthur
Conan n0yle-in "The Lost World" and
il has the advantage Of being possible
of verltication. Bruno, himself, is now
making plan, to equip large explor-
ing party and next spring he will 90
again into the Usage hills determined
10 bring back concrete proof OF his
story
The lost world according to .5rune,
is located Oh a plateau about mile
high. the sides Of which are so steep
that il is impossible 10 climb them I'M.
assisted. He was alone when he found
The plateau and. was unable to scale
The PERCEPTIONS cliffs.
But what convinced him that animal
life on the plateau WAS the same as
that which existed several hundred
years ago was the result Of hunting
trip Bruno saw Il bird, Of strange APP
pearance, and he shot it, He found
that II had leather wines without
feathers and that It's mouth was fur
nishei with 4 complete set of teeth,
Aitho he did not know that the bird
ahsMt ta to the name of pteldactyl in
science, he did realize that 1t was a
strange species.
So steep We're tho cliffs leading III
10 the plateau Oh all sides that the
animals on the summit We're unable 10
descend and the men below were 80
euish their characteristics except that
they were different from all animals
known To the huntsmen.
SO Erune decided to return 10 ciyiii-
cation and get an outfit which would
enable him and his friends to return
to the Usage hills, scale the cllns %
HE mysterious plateau, and see at
first hand the mysteries OF the life
existing there.
The plateau Is completely isolated
from surrounding country. But Bruno
says that with the aid of ropes and
plenty of men he believes the ellis
can be scaled.
Heavy rifles will be carried by the
men making up the party n the ~
pectation that they may meet with
some of the great animals described
in books devoted to prehistoric animal
life.
Bruno only talks of his experience
TO those who are intimate with him.
He fears he will not b. believed be-
cause of the strangeness Of his story.
But he swears he tells the truth and
he is determined to prove to the most
cynical that the lost world really
exists. He Is determined to bring back
TO civilization specimens of strange
animal life, carcasses, and skins

CHURCHES N ENGLAND

The Rev DR.. J. Stuart Holden,
editor Of The Christian" London, the
organ Of the evangelistic forces Of
Great Britain. is in this country as
lecturer at Mortified and preacher TO
summer CONGREGATIONS in Chicago and
New York. He gives il as his opinion
that Christian forces Of England are
not yet ready TO make plans to up
build spiritual things following the
war. He says the big task Of churches
Of England at the moment is the
translation Of personal experience

character He feels that this duty

IN divinity and their lay assistants to
the end Of the war. His picture Of the
strain upon the churches In men and
in money is hopeful and yet a tale
such as churches, outside OF France.
never presented before.
DR.. Holden's advices from France.
IN relation TO Christian conditions,
are not fun. he says, but so far as he
can speak he believes a change sim
liar 20 that in England and Scotland
IS going on In this change he feels
sure the Catholic church IS sharing.
An example he gives IS the ac-
knOwledgement by France. by Eng
land and by the United States that
old animosities were groundless, and
must give place to cooperation and
mutual sympathy. He finds such
change 70 have taken place. One OF
the reasons for his visit TO America at
this time is 20 help on this change.
