Huge Flying Snake
Makes appearance
In Gotham Museum

NEW YORK. Feb 2-The American
Museum Of Natural History has just set
up large specimen Of a flying reptile.
which fourished many thousands Of
years ago. When scientists have occa-
sion to refer to the pterodactyl they do
not pronounce the first letter in the
fossils name.
The remains OF the ptcrodactyl, ac-
cording to DR.. w. D. Matthew, curator
Of the museum. were found In the Gre
taceous chalk beds of the Smokey Hill
river in western Kansas.
DR. Daniel T. Martin, curator OF the
Geological Museum OF Kansas university,
who discovered the reptile, was unable
to find certain Important sections of
the fossils anatomy. In an endeavor
to supply the deficiency the scientist
at the museum has painted in the miss
ing parts in the background on which
the specimen is mounted.
This, to a degree, gives the pterodactyI
wild, weird appearance which It doubt
less lacked in the old days in Kansas.
In some places 1t is attenuated
DR.. Matthew says that his pterodactyl
once possessed wings seventeen feet
long, which were attached to the pha-
langes OF the ulnar digit somewhat after
the fashion of bat. 1t used to play
around in the water, he says.

RANGE FINDING

PITTsBURG, Feb. 2.-The next war

Monies professor in the University Of
Pittsburg has shown the war depart
ment.
Ray HUFF went overseas, with a hos
pital unit, but he became so interested
in the artillery work that he asked TO
be transferred to that branch Of the
service. 1t was while serving with the
first division that be discovered the sim
pie little device which saves time and
makes range finding easier learned.
Since his return to Pitt HUFF has sent
plans of the device to the war depart
ment and he recently received a letter
praislng it and asking for a model
Huff says 1t probably was sheer lazi-
ness that prompted him to learn some
shortcut to avoid the abtruse mathe-
matical gyratiOns by which ranges we're
found.
The device consists Of strips Of alum

slant to move the aluminium upwa

With this device an army Of raw artil-
lery students could learn within a

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Senator Lodge
| today gave formal notice in the senate
that on next Monday he will ask unan-
imous consent that senate rules be sus-
pended and the peace treaty reservations

If unanimous consent is refused, Lodge
announced, he will move to suspend the
rules.
| viscount Grey's letter urging that
hAmerican reservations to the peace treaty
| be accepted by the British was taken TO
day by senators on both side Of the
treaty controversy as vindicating their
positions.
FLOOD OF LETTERS
IS EXPECTED NOW.
Republicans said Grey has proved what
| they have eontended all along, that the
allies would accept reasonable American
| reservations, just to get the United States
into the league.
Democrats said Grey's reference to ire
pudiatinE signatures tells the whole
| story of President Wilson's inability to
compromise with the senate and justifies
| their stand against the Lodge reserva-
tions.
: Grey's letter was the general topic
among senator's today. Some Of them ex-
| pect its influence on public opinion to
| help speed ratlncatlon, Dy causing q
| food of letters to senator's, urging rati-
| fcatiou on the ground that it IS plain
that the reservations won't cause any
| hitch abroad
/ SOME SEE NOTHING
! OFFICIAL IN LETTER.
It was emphasized, however, by some
Democrats that Grey spoke as a private
| individual and that while he doubtless
made to his government the same sort
Of recommendations as contained In his
letter, there is nothing official to in
dictate that the government agrees with
Grey. Until there is some such intima-
ton, democrats must stick to the letter

Senator Lodge and other republicans
have said they have known for months
that the Lodge reservations would not
cause any hitch abroad. That Influenced

In general, Grey's letter Is countedd on

Novel Craft Makes Appearance
on Lake Erie and Stands
Up in Wind.
OWNER is ENTHUSIASTIC

SANDUSKY, o., Feb. ED Lappo, a
fisherman at Vermillion, a Lake Erie
port town twenty two miles east of this
city, was reading a story about Noah's
ark to his children one night several
months ago, when it occurred to him that

rected and modeFniZed a little 1t might
have tendency to lessen the toll that
storms take annually in the great lakes
section.
Lampe is a gillnetter of many years
experience. and in the picture of Noah
ark that embellished the story he was
reading, he recognized wonderful posi-
bilites, Thes storms of the great lakes
section rage furiously in spring, follow
ing the opening of the navigation season,
and again in fall, just before the sea-
son closes. Many men lose their lives
and much valuable property Is destroyed.
The gillnetters, as those fishermen
who fish with gill nets are known. are
aftener the victims than are the mem
beFs of any other body of men engaged
in fishing; their work Is more hazardous.
When disaster comes it Is usually the
Slllnetters boat, or "tug," that Is de-
stroyed.
PLAN PROVES
SUCCESS, HE SAYS.
Lampe designed a boat on the plan
of Noah's ark. With the aid Of several
fishermen friends he brought his design
to- naturalization. He tried the Graf,

WEBS IN DAZE
DUE TO DRINKS,
ASKS FREEDOM

NEW YORK, Feb AFTER hearing
testimony in the. suit for annuIment Of
her marriage brought by Mrs. Blanche
u. F. Sheridan of Manhattan against
Donald NJ Sheridan, a British army Of
ficer, upon the ground that on the day
OF the marriage she was bereft of her
reason through cocktails and wine, JUS
tice Morschauser at White Plains has or
dered further testimony before he passes
upon the case.
The clergyman who performed the
ceremony, the marriage license or the
marriage certificate were not produced
and the court directed that this evil
dence be presented
Mrs. sheridan, 20 years old said she
met the British army officer at a New
Years eve party Mt the Iaurel-in-th
! Pines, Lakewood n. J., I'm 1917, and that
before going skating with the officer she
was induced by him to drink cocktails
and wine. The plaintiff swore that three
days later, while she was intoxicated
she was married to Sheridan by an
Episcopal Clergyman at the home of Mrs.
Regal, IS Central Park West. In the
presence Of other British army officers.
She said she and Sheridan had been
drinking from the time they left Lake
wood until the ceremony, and that she
was dazed. She remembered seeing the
clergyman, who wore white surplice,
but she did not know his name
Two days after the wedding, Mrs
Sheridan said her husband borrowed $500
and sailed for England After arriving
in London he cabled her for $4,000, but
she did not forward the money. She said
she has not heard from him since.
Justice Morschauser in declining to
grant the annulment said the minister
should be produced in court and added
Il would like to give this girl her re-
lief l think this man was an adven-
turer. 1t appears ridiculous to me that
any Episcopal clergyman would have
married this girl while she was so ter
ribly intoxicated"

NEW LEAGUE

London Magazine Heads Plan
for Better Conditions.

LONDON, Feb. "A new league for
the betterment of a troubled world has
been launched in London by means Of
a publication, THE New Commonwealth, !"
which takes as its model Abraham Lin
coins statement regarding "of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people"
THE New Commonwealth" pleads for
members for an organization to be known
as THE National Union of Citizens" 1t
declares that we, the people, must use
our power, We must play the game, and
not misuse our power, and We must have
a program"
Included in this program is the for
nation of a federation Of English-s speak
ing peoples. Briefly, the leading pIanks
in the platform Of "The National Union
of Citizens" are as follows:
% Vested Interests-To fight all
vested interests" because being mo-
nOpolistic they must necessarily be
against the interests Of the community
(2) Tyranny-To combat tyranny in
any form, whether expressed through
capitalistic domination, so-called "direct
action revolution or mob rule.
90 Liberty--To secure the re-estab-
fishing of liberty or conscience. OF

assertion of individual freedom.
a. Land-To acquire the land for the
community because land ownership out
RACES the modern sense of justice. Con
fscation or state purchase is, however
equally Objectionable.
(J- Nationalization-To oppose nation
alization because it means hordes of gov
eminent officials, recognizing no duty t
the community, doing as little work a.
possible, and behaving as If they were
a class apart.

Ing out and returning when all other
boats had to be kept in port.
Lampe's craft attracted the attention
of the commercial fishing interests Of
the Lake Erie section and Investigators
were sent to Vermilnon. If it were true
that a Vermillion fisherman had invent

would lessen the risk of spring and fail

fishermen the benefit Of the discovery,
they said.
The Vermillion gil1neter would not
listen to proposition to sell his idea,
nor would he talk Of royalty.
''If you can save some poor DEVILS life,
by using my style of boat, go ahead
and use It," he said.
The United Fisheries Company of this
city, one Of the largest organizations
Of its kind operating on Lake Erie,
recently completed the first of six gillnet
tugs of the type designed by Lampe, at
Shipbuilding plant in this city. The
other five are to be ready to be COM
missioned at the beginning Of the spring
fishing season of 1920.
Lampe christened his boat Victory, for
the reason that she is believed to have
triumphed over the storm. With a bow
like that Of a battleship, and a body
otherwise that resembles the conven-
tionaI pictures of Noahs Ark, she has
been successfully combating the rough
est seas that the Lake Erie nor'easter
has been able thus far to kick up.
Victory is fifty five feet long, with a
flfteen-foot beam. She is equipped with
two power plants, so that If one should
