Skeletons Of Prehistoric Animals Show
That Nature Gave Them Some
what Strange Equipment.

Seventeen skeletons of the sO-called
"Clawed Horse" of prehistoric times
from the Agate Spring fossil quarry of
western Nebraska have been placed
In storage. for lack of exhibiting space,
Mt the American museum of natural
history. New York.
The varied skeIetOnc combinations
are described by Professors Osborn
and Matthew, as follows:
THE Moropus was a distant rela-
tive of the rhinoceros, the tapir, and
the horse. 1t is about the size Of a
rhinoceros but very different In
form; the head and neck are like
those of the horse. The rounded back
resembles that of "A tapir, and the
legs. although massive like those OF
the rhin0ceros. are much longer. The
teeth and feet are very distinctive.
The teeth show that the animal
browsed on vegetation.
"MOropus belongs with rhinoceros,
tapirs and horses TO the order of Per-
issodactyls, or hoofed mammals with
an odd number of toes on the hind
foot. The ruminants. camels, pigs and
hippopotamuses have an even number
of toes either two or four. Moropus
has three toes. The feet with their
great claws are more like those OF
ant eaters and similar digging man.
mails than of any of the hoofed man.

Ii is suggested that the claws were
designed to aid in scraping away the
sand in dry river beds or other suit
able places TO obtain drink"

His Collection.

There is curious game played by
educators, which consists in sending
questionnaires to some hundreds, or
some thousands, of school children,
and tabulating their replies for the
enlightenment of the general public.
The precise purport Of this game has
never been defined; but its popularity
impels us TO envy the leisure that edu-
Gators seem to enjoy. A few years
ago 1.214 little Californians were
asked if they made collections OF any
kind, and II so. what did they COL
lect? The answers we're such as might
have been expected, with one excep-
tion. A small and innocently ironic
boy wrote that he collected "bits of
advice" His hoard was the only one
that piqued curiosity.-Agnes Rep

CHAPTER XIV
The Dipsomaniac

In a day when punched money, how
ever arrogant 1t may be, has been
taught to go sort of softly, the Hatch
people were careful not to make any
public announcement of the things
they were doing or going to do. But
bad news has wings Of its own. Mr..
| NOrcr0ss was still In the midst of his
mail dictatiOn TO me the morning after

fell out, when Mr.. Hornack came
bulging in.

trying to eat. ITS all over town that

TIE boss reply ignored the details.

briefly. "The local companies couldn't
hold on to n good thing when they had
it. The stock has been swept up,
first into little heaps, and then into
big ones. and now the Hatch people
have forced a practical consolidation"
rs that the fact?-or only the way
you are doping II out?" queried the
traffic manager.
ut is the fact Hatch came here
last night TO tell me about It; also.
TO tell me where we were to get Off"
Hornack bit Off a piece of the chewed
cignr and took fresh hold on 1t.
Does he think for one holy half
minute that we're going to sit down
quietly and let him undo all the good
work that's been done?" he rasped.
"He does-just that. He's putting
us in the nine-hole, Hornack. and up
to the present moment haven't found
the way TO climb out Of it,"
but the ground leases?" Hornack
began. "Why can't we pull them on
him?"

dead in our tracks by the very men
who ought TO be backing us to win."
said the boss soberly. And then he |
went on TO tell about the new grip |
Hatch had on us.
OF course. Hornack blew up at that,
and what he said wasn't for publica-
ton. For a minute or so the air of |
the Office was blue. When he got |
down to common. ordinary English |
again he was saying. between cusses:
