LINK TO PREHISTORIC TIMES
Discovery Made in South America
Strengthens Theory Long Held Con-
corning Ancient Land Bridge.

A report has been published by the
Field Museum of Natural History, at
Chicago, describing an animal dscOv-
cred in South America, which is q
survivor of n prehistoric period. This
animal known as CenOlestes, is small
and looks like sharp-nOsed rat, but
IS different from any other living ami
NAL Its bones and teeth are essen
TALLY the same as those of a group of
animals now extinct and known only
through fossils hundreds of thousands
of years old. 1t has a pouch like the
kangaroo, and its existence may lndi
cate some truth in the theory that
South America and Australia were
connected by land in prehistoric times,
since pOuched animals exist in both
places The original stock may have
spread from South America to Aus
tralia, or vice versa, or 1t may have
originated in a long-vanished CONT
nent, the sO-called Antarctica, and
spread north TO both continents, over
a land bridge, which is supposed to
have linked the three.-Popular Me-

Your energy Is your capital. Use II

Half use IL. or waste II on things

Yet the energy must be there, or the
education must be useless. There must

For neither good nor bad,

But that was all he had
Twas Captain Go-and-DO the man
Who served his flag in France;
And well and wisely he could plan
Just how men should advance.
AS brave rs any soldier true,
No fight he ever won
He didn't know that GO-and-DO
Gets very little done.
Another captain came back home
With honors that they gave.
Came proudly sailing Ger the FOAM

(No Drawer man than GO-and-DO)
They hailed him Marine to Metz

Was Captain Come-on-Lets.

SEEK TREASURE LONG BURIED
Search Being Made In Italy for
Wealth Concealed Since Centuries
Before Birth of Christ

Robert Louis Stevenson or Alexan-
DIRE Dumas could hardly have pro-
duced a more romantic story than
that which comes from Bisceglie. in
the province OF Bari, writes Rome
correspondent.
A week or two ago an Italian widow
returned from Jerusalem declaring
that she was in possession OF an old
parchment written in italian, and Civ
en- 10 her father by a monk OF Bis
ceglie. which contains indications OF
the whereabouts of an enormous hid
den treasure.
Until recently the widow has not
had enough money to carry out the
excavation for the treasure, which is
said TO consist of 80 silver vases and
20 other vases full of gold coins, 81
of silver, five of antique works of art
80 boxes of jewels, and large earth
enware vessel full of pearls. Now
the excavation has begun.
According 10 kilograms from Bis
cegile the first indication mentioned
in the parchment-namely, large
stone with serpent engraved upon
it-has already been discovered two
public spirited OF the villages resi-
miles from the town.
The treasure is supposed To have
belonged to a Roman matrOn who bur
led il at the approach of Hannibafs
troops in 216 b. c., but there is moth
ing to explain why so many centuries
were allowed to elapSe between the
concealment of the treasure and the
preparation Of the parchment.
