Farmers in Missouri Uncover Huge
Reptile Form.

Farmers in MISSOURI uncover a Huge
Reptile Form.
Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 19.-The petrifed
remains Of what is believed to be a
prehistoric reptile or deep sea mon
ster of gigantic proportions has been
uncovered On a farm near Racine Mo-,
Is miles south of here.
The general contour Of the fossil is
in a good state Of preservation and re-
sembles a giant lizard The head is
two feet long. The forelegs measure
u feet in length and the petrified OBJ
ject is "a feet long, from head to tail,
the tail measuring II feet. Embedded
in the legs Of the monster are num-
erous fossils and shells. This led
many persons who visited the scene
of the discovery to the belief that it
might have inhabited the sea in pre-
historic days.
The remains are white on the out
side, resembling limestone, but on the
inside they are the color of flint and
extremely hard. A communication
has been sent to the Smithsonian In
stitution asking that an investigation
