having grown up in the East-Slde
slums. He met a young woman
school teacher, who taught him TO
read and write. 1t was she who In
spired the writing of the story of his
life, which, when dramatiZed, scored a
big success on Broadway as a legiti-
mate play.
William Farnum, the famous star
of William Fox photoplays, will be

sEu4! would rear twice that height. The
asms was given him because of the large
s'E chan oers in his bones, and hence he IL
called the "chambered saurian." Also, he
has been named the ~"drcdger dinosaur,"
because be had scoop.shapcd teeth.
And in this monsters enormous bulk and

the head TO accommodate a larger organ

way, made the sacrum brain big enough to
take care OF the mighty tall and hind quar-
tiers o! the dinosaur; the middle brain
looked after the body from the beginning
OF the neck 10 the forequarters. The
brains in the head were concerned solely
"ith Such functions as the senses Of sight.
hearing. smelling and perhaps conscious
feeling.
The real governing, co-ordinating faculty
seems TO have existed in the entire spinal
cord. Perhaps. accurately speaking, the
BRAN OF this weird creature could be said
70 be a thick cord brain, 81 feet long, with
tnFec bulbs on It; which seems even more
remarkable even than the thrcc.brain way
o! putting the matter.
The deduction is therefore that the
brain was coordinatcd along the entire
backbone, with the functions as we know
'heih today from the workings within
our own craniums. distributed at points in
larger cavities for the control OF the move
ihents or the animal. Camarasaurus then,
as mas been said, gives us a GLIMPSE of
the very first attempts of nature in brain
evolution. He was also one OF the first
animals to have a backbone made OF bone,

list, aided by Erwin Christman, animal
sculptor, The bullying. tremendous
muscles were worked by Gregory, who
with Christman and Osborn, executed the
portraiture as in life. Professor Osborn
states: Il believe the heads separately,
and the appearance as I'm life of the rem
tile as a whole, to be the most scientific
portraits of a great dinosaur and the most
probable likenesses that have yet been
executed"
Professor Osborn says that "camarasu-
rus lived 100000 years ago." Hereto
fore, under the Walcott tables, dinosaurs
originated 5000, 900 years ago., and were
me dominant animals on earth up to
100000 years ago. Very recently, DIR.
Thomas Crowder Chamberlain, geologist
of the Chicago University. and one of the
greatest scientists In his line, demonstrated
that all geological time tables must have
radical revision, as he had positive evil
dence that the first glacial period was
$4,000, 900 years ago, prior to the Cam.
brian Age. Under this revision, If m
rasaurns was the dominant reptile 49,
100000 years ago, the footprints of the
first known dinosaurs found in the Con-
n%ecticut Valley would have to be set back
from 9,00O,O0O years ago to Is, 900, 900
years ago. In other words. the new tables
make everything twice as old as formerly.
We are dealing here, then, with an
utterly new conception OF earth life. The
gigantic camarasaur. it seems, was the
dominant animal for Il period estimated
a; 100000 years. at a time when hereto
fore we were led to believe that there
we're only amphibians, precursors OF rep.
tiles, on earth, and none of these of very
large dimensions. And what is moro, the
four savants say:
Our general conclusion Is that this
dinosaur was a very broad, massive, slow
moving sauropod Oizard-footed)-in fact,
the most massive reptile in proportions
that ever has been found"
The double row Of teeth are entirely
different from what one would expect in
any reptile or other animal. They .:e

teeth worked precisely like the SCOOP of

The camarasaur had no particular need
Of skull brains. He had nothing much to
think about except getting several tons Of
food daily into his cavecnous body and an
occasional escape from his enemies. Be
cause Of the smallness Of the opening Of
lis mouth and the tube down his throat.
the process of swallowing SO much food
was slow and undoubtedly kept him ut
work daily much longer than our longest
union hours. This fact aided in his later
and complete extinction. AS his ~favorite
swampy lakes were uplifted and drained, all
those of his kind not buried outright were
unable to find foods soft enough to force
down the long, slender threats.

body. curved and broadened downward to

dergo changes to get food. AS fast as their
teeth developed for the purpose the hugcr
sauropods grew in proportions. 1t would
not be surprising IL further excavations Of
the Colorado formations, say by miners,
should unearth skeletons much larger,
even twice as large, since, so far, the sur
face has only been scratched.
Camarasaurus also used his front feet to
aid in digging up roots in the lake mud.
In so doing he developed long, heavy claws
on them, and hence the necessity for brain
control at tho top Of his forelegs. His
hind feet had to hold him down while he
was digging. The result was that the hind
feet became semi-flat, without much in
the claw line. When the hind feet flat
tened out sufficiently, later camarasaurus
could stand on them without sinking much

them, with the aid Of the huge tail, tripod

Such instances, oven IL known to any
specialist. will only prove that the combats
took place after the camarasaur became
bewildered by upheayal of swamps and
wandered on dry LAND in q weakened and
dying condition.
Scientists have q traditional hypothesis
that. dinosaurs were not ancestral to any
later type Of animals, because they are
alleged TO have specialized way from
modern types instead Of towards them.
When we find resemblances to dinosaurs
in later animals, we are told that these
are parallels Of evolution" This hypothe.
Sis will hear much revision. II camara-

he must have been ancestral to later types
at least in part.
Mammals and men have t~wenty-eight of
his bones, however modified by lime for
environments conditions. Maybe some
other animal Of his time passed them on
to us and maybe not. There was moropus,
a later horse-like mammal, with similar
fore feet and huge claws for digging.
There is the giraffe with similar long neck
and small head, but with the number of
neck bones reduced to seven. There are
the humans with long necks and small
heads, with the same reduction OF neck
bones as the giraffe.
Some Of us and many other mammals in
herit fiat feet from some reptile that got
fat hind feet by reaching high for its food.
Why not inherited from camarasaurus?
The fact is, camarasaurus lived in an age
so far distant that lie couldn't specialize
away from the coming generations. He
had to specialize with all his might toward
us. 1t was the later dinosaurs that got off
the trolley and went wandering far afeld.
This chap seems to have built q solid foun-
dation for many types that came after
him, clear down to the present.
1t required fourteen million years to
modify reptile skeleton and bones to pro.
duce a man. The whole tail OF CANA
rasaurus had to go by the board. All those
cavities along his spino had to unloose
their brain material so 1t could be brought
up into a vastly modified skull. The big
air chambers in his bones had to be closed.
While his fore legs and feet had to be i'm
mensely modified to produce our arms and
hands, but few notifications had to be
made for the four legs of our domestic
animals and quadrupeds generally.

difference, however, in
that the giraffe, with
long neck and short
