The great enemy OF the Zeuglodon was
gigantic shark, known as Carcharodon
megalOdon. This shark is generally ad-
mitted to have been the tyrant OF the
Miocene Ocean, some paleontologists going
so far as to contend that it was doubtless
the exterminator of Zeuglodon and any OF
the mosasaurs and plesiosaurs which
might have remained over as times relics
from the earlier Mesozoic era.
CaTcharodon and Zeuglodon were Louisi-
ana products in the true sense of the word,
as both monsters have left mute but elo-
quent evidence of their once strenuous
existence in the tertiary strata, so easily
upturned in Catahoula Parish. There they
found together in the gravel pits near
Harrisonburg one of the great teeth OF
the shark embedded in a section OF Zeug-
lodon's caudal Vertebrae. This would in
dicate that the monsters, having Joined In
single combat, died fighting, fitting ter
mination to the predatory days of such
hideous champions.
II is reasonable to suppose that the
Zeuglodon's habit Of going into the greater
depths Of the ocean for dainty food may

OF officers; they had run about half
the distance intended, as they supposed,
and were enjoying themselves on deck,
smoking cigars and getting their tackle
ready for the contemplated campaign
against the salmon, when. what was the
party's surprise, to see an immense shoal
of grampuses, appearing to be in an I'M
usual state of excitement, and which, in
their gambols, approached so close to the
yacht that some Of the company amused
themselves by firing at them with rifles.
At this time the boat was jogging on at
about five miles an hour and was crossing
Margaret's Bay. Their attention was pres
emily diverted from the grampuses and
such small deer by an exclamation from
the man-of-war's-man, who was sitting to
ieeward, Of oh! sirs, look here!' They
were startled into a ready compliance with
the excited summons. and at once saw an
object which banished all other feelings
save wonder and surprise.

whose testimony is unanimous
and unreserved relative to this
monarch of the tribes Of the

fifty to two hundred yards on the star
board bow of the little craft they saw the
head and neck Of some denizen Of the deep
precisely like those Of common snake
in the act Of swimming, the head so far
elevated and thrown forward by the curve
of the neck as 20 enable the observers to
see the water under and beyond it. The
creature passed along rapidly, leaving a
regular wake, from the commencement of
which to the fore part, which was out of
water. the length seemed to be about eighty
feet-certainly not less than this. They
were, of course, all taken aback at the
sight, and with staring eyes and in speech
less wonder stood gazing at it for full half
a minute, all being perfectly satisfied that
they had been favored with a view of the
true and Veritable sea serpent, which by
many was regarded as existing only in the
brain Of some Yankee skipper, and treated
as a tale not much entitled to belief The
man-of-war's-man's exclamation was char
acteristic as well as pertinent-'Well, I've
sailed in all ports Of the world, and have
seen sum sights, too, in my time. but this
Is the queerest thing ever see!'"
The difficulty of giving correctly the d.
mensions Of any object in the water is
well-known. The head Of the creature was
by this party set down at about six fees
in length, and that portion of the neck
which was visible at the same; the appear
ent extreme length, at between eighty and
a hundred feet. The thickness of the neck
equalled the trunk of a moderate sized tree.
The color of the head and neck was dark
brown, nearly approaching to black,
streaked in N irregular manner with
white. 4
There is little doubt that in other sec
lions of the world and in caverns there are
still other monstrous survivals OF earth's
early experimental stages.
The giant prehistoric monsters of the
past did not become extinct suddenly in
the distant past. They passed gradually
at various epoches and some Of them
were in existence in historic times
Science has found that that amazing
creature, the giant sloth, many times
larger than an elephant lived in COM
pany with prehistoric man in South Amer
lea. The dodo and the great aux were
alive in recent times.
In the great depths of the ocean there
are conditions for the survival of forgotten
or unknown monstrous forms of life that
do not occur on the surface Of the earth.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
BACKS COUNTY ROADS

According to word from Sacra-
mento, the state highway commission
Is supporting the contention of the
Northern California Counties Asso-
citation that all roads promised in this
section are vitality necessary, and
there is every reason to believe the
federal government will permit their
construction. Roads affected are the
klamath river road in Siskiyou coun-
ty, Redding- -Weaverville, Redding-
Alturas and Susanville-Red Bluff lat
erals.
The state highway commission is
preparing to make strong argument
before the federal reserve board in
support of the 1918 roadbuilding
campaign, according to information
coming from meetings which have
been held to consider the proposition.
One of the points against restrict
ing the states highway program is
the necessity for completing the
roads as war measure, since 1t
would open the way for the more ex-
peditious handling of food freight,
supplies, building material, lumber
and other commodities over paved
