Though historical geology and the
study OF ancient life depend chiefly
on fossils, the term has been very
vaguely and loosely applied. AS a pre-

poses: "a fossil is an object which
indicates former existence of an or
ganism which has been buried and pre-
served by geological causes, previous
to historic time" The mastodon pre-

In some parts of Austria, and espe-

Hungary, there exists the extraor-

of the most deadly poisons. There,
however. the peasants are so accus-
toned to its use that they are able to
take huge quantities without harm.
and they assert that the remarkable
beauty of their women folk is entirely
due to constant drugging with arsenic.
