Darky Got More Out of Garden Than
Ever the Owner Was Lucky
Enough to Get.

Not long ago a couple of negroes
who had long before been neighbors
in southern state rather unexpected
ly met in Philadelphia. OF course,
they talked of old times in the South
and one of them remarked:
"How bout dat truck garden, Joe7
When 1 left you had'jest taken it over
Did 1t pay?"
'"Well," said Joe, II didn't have noth-
ing to complain bout"
Il always had a mighty pore opinion

the other darky. You remember L
told you before you got it that you
would never get your money back
But did get my money back" re-

only one finger is elongated for
wing, the membrane being stretched
between that and the rather long hind
legs. The wing finger was the fourth
digit, and the remains of the first
three digIts, reduced to small claws,
can easily be recognized on the upper
border of the wing.
The head is most extraordinary
part of the animal. All pterodactyls
have large but lightly constructed
skulls with long beak, (which in
most of them is set with sharp needle
like teeth. The PteranodOn, as its
name indicates, is toothless with
great, sharp-pOinted beak somewhat
like that of stork or n kingfisher.

structed skull with an enormous com
pressed crest stretching backward
from 1t. almost equal to the beak in
length.
The neck is moderately long and
strong, as would be needed to carry
the large head. but the body looks
absurdly short and small and the tail
is mere little stub. The backbone
between the shoulders Is all CONSOLE
dated into single piece (called the
notnrium), just as the backbone be-
tween the hip bones is consolidated
In most animals into single piece
called the sacrum. The upper end OF
the shoulder gIrdle (scapula) is SOCK
eted into the side of the notarium.

sternum on the under side of the
body. This affords n very strong pur-
chase for the wings, stronger even
than In birds, which sometimes have
the vertebrae partly consolidated like

to have the scapula socketed into II.

The breastbone or sternum IS not so
unlike the breastbone of bird. 1t is
broad fiat plate with high crest
projecting forward and downward In
the middle line, to which the prln-
cipal wing muscle is attached. In
this specimen, unfortunately, the
sternum was missing altogether.
The ribs are very imperfect, short,
and little curved Probably con-
siderable part of the body basket was
cartilaglnous, so that 1t has not been

"They like our large heads and our

probable purposes to which they could
be applied 1t is difficult to see how
n sufficient width could be obtained
for the stretched membrane of the
wings unless it were extended down
along the sides of the hind legs, as
Doctor Williston believed, and not
merely along the side of the body,
as Doctor Seeley supposed. Then If
the membrane was stretched on the
outer side of each hind leg, 1t must
also have been stretched between
them and up to the tail, in order to
take the strain off the legs. 1t may
also be supposed that the membrane
stretched from the neck out on each
side over the shoulders as far as the
"pteroid bone" as this would have
some obvious mechanical advantages.
In life all the principal bones of
pterodactyls were thin, hollow cylin-
ders of an exceptionally hard and
flaky quality of bone. Moreover, there
are. in some of the bones at least,
openings corresponding to those In
birds, which serve to allow air to cir
culate within the hollow cavity of the
bone.
Soaring Like Bird.
This is not the only point in which
pterodactyls resemble birds. They
have also much higher type of brain
than ordinary reptiles, the cerebellum
or hind-brain is large, and, as in birds,
the optic lobes are widely separated.
1t is also probable, in the opinion OF
some high authorities, that-like birds
they had rapid circulation of the
blood and continuously high body tenn
perature. and were far above the rep
tilian stage in this respect. Indeed the
high type of brain and the active Ire

 Both of the men have spent a number of years at Lituya Bay where the ruby sands of both the old and new beach lines have been mined for several years. There are no big paying propositions there at present, but at times men are able to take out better than wages by slu!cing.
 Ltuya Bay has been the scene of many stampedes and experiments and at different times several com panies have spent much money in equipment for patent gold saving machines that it was hoped would bring out the full values of the Ruby sands At the present time but a few miners work there.
