sions, 1t is nearly all wings and
head, with a little bit of a body,
slender hind legs and a mere stump
or tail. The head consists chiefly
of a long pointed beak and an
equally long bony crest projecting
backwards. This crest perhaps
served as vane 10 balance the
pressure of the wind on the great
beak when stretched forward in
flying.
Long. Narrow Wings.
THE wings were long and mar
row, and composed of thin, leathery
membrane like the wings of bats.
But they were stretched on the long
extended fourth finger only, the
other fingers being little rudimen-
tary claws, by which the animal
probably hung when at rest The
wings were evidently adapted to
soaring flight like that of the alba
tross. In fact, the creature was so
extremely specialized along this
line that it must have been singu-
larry awkward and ungainly on the
ground. Yet it must have come TO
land at times for egg laying pur-
poses. How it obtained it's food is
something of problem. 1t was
evidently a ranging ocean fly
er, for the skeletons are found in
chalk and other marine formations
deposited in the open sea often far
from land.
The specimen just placed on eX-
hibition, together with other fine
specimens, was obtained from the
Cretaceous chalk beds of the
Smoky Hill river of western Kan
sas. In the life of the pteranodon,
this was part of great inland sea
Mexico far across the canadian
border. The nearest shore-line was
more than 14O miles to the south
east. Westwardly, the sea stretch
ed across the region where the
Rocky mountains were later up
heaved to yet more distant shore.
over this vast interior sea, deep
and clear and Astounding in marine
life, the pterodactyl must have
ranged, resorting TO the far-off
shores as base. 1t is possible that
it was in some way equipped for
diving and for rising easily from
the surface of the ocean, but it is
difficult to see how the mechanics
of its construction would allow it
to do so readily, and it may have
simply patTolled the air swapping
up such animals as might rise TO
the surface or leap above it, into
reach, without actually coming
down upon the water. Such guesses
as these are the best We can give
until the mechanics of the crea-
lures flight have been more thor
oughly worked out

Of a match being held between
Leonard and Lew Tender, the
Philadelphia neEsboy. This match
has been talked Of for nearly two
years and would draw a record
house in the open air in the east.
Phil GlasEman, manager OF Ten

ever try to make the lightweight
limit for a title or any other
match.

weight was to have been 133 at 8

a statement to the effect that Leon

$500 II they box in the east. as he
(Leonard) got less than $4,000 for all
his matches with Freddy Welsh when
the latter was champion.

PUT MGIFFERT ON GRILL.
North Topekans Want Improvements
for Garfield Park.

The North Topeka Civic club has
invited Commissioner Robt d. McGif-
fert to appear before the club at its
next meeting Tuesday evening, May
IS, and explain why the income from
the Garfield park concessions is not
used for Improvement of that park.
The subject of the Garfield park in
come was discussed again at the meet
ing of the club Tuesday night. The
club members contend that, when
North Topeka gave the park to the
city, it was with the stipulation that
any income derived from the park
should go to it's improvement. This
agreement was adhered to, it is said,
during the administration of W. L.
Porter as park commissioner. but not
during the present administration.
When Commissioner McGiffert was
visited by a Civic club committee, he
admitted that such was the case and
further said, according to members of
the committee. that he intended to use
the money derived from Garfield park
for improving other parks.
Several members of the club at
Tuesday nights meeting, expressed
their determination to have McGidert
prosecuted. if necessary, to have the
terms of the agreement fulfilled, but
the club refused to take such action.
McGiffert was out of the city today.
