The animals are dinosaurs; for the
moment we will call them lizards
not the creeping, crawling kind, but
huge reptiles that stalked upright
through the jungles, rivaling in size
the elephant, the hippopotamus and
the rhinoceros.
In the marshes of prehistoric times
dwelt host of reptiles, some large,
some small, and of various forms,
flesh eaters and herb eaters, but all
sharing certain characters in common
and known as dinosaurs. Not any
were closely related to any living rep
tile, yet they had some characters
common to the lizards, crocodiles and
birds.
"Of the kinds characteristic Of the
period one species, an herb eater
named Trachodon, was more than 80
feet long and about Is feet high when
standing erect. Its head, with broad
ly-expanded mouth, resembles that of
a duck, but back of the beak there
are more than two thousand small
teeth, disposed in many vertical rows,
each containing several individual
teeth, the new ones coming up from
| below as the old ones wore out.
"The long hind feet terminated in
three largelhoofed toes, and the short
er, slender front feet were partly
webbed. A long, thin, slender tail act
ed as powerful swimming organ, and
the body was covered with rough tu-
berculate skin. Having no means of
defense, it lived chiefly in the water,
where it was free from attacks Of the
| flesh eaters.
"Strangest of all was the herbivor-
GUS Ankylosaurus a stocky, short
legged, big-bodied creature, completely
encased In armor. Dermal plates COW
cred the skull, followed by rings OF
plates over the neck and rows of fat
plates over the back and hips. Its
tail terminated In a huge club, and
the belly was covered by a pliable
mosaic of small, close-set plates. It
was further protected by a movable
plate that could be dropped down like
a shutter over each eye, thus complet-
ing its protection from insects and for
midable foes"

If President Harding had been In
fncted into the chief office in some
other republics ON March 4, the cere-
monies would have varied from a SIM
plicity even greater than that he in
sisted upon, to an inIestiture of al
most regal splendor.
If he had followed the customs long
observed I'm France, the ceremony
would have taken place in the White
House. Instead of taking a formal
oath he would have uttered a pledge
to consecrate himself to the service
of the republic-and he would have
ended by kissing the retiring President
on both cheeks.
If he had been made President &C
cording to the practice of the Mexi-
cans, he would have taken the oath
in the hail of the house of represen-
tatives at midnight. After the admin
istration of the oath he would have
received the embrace of his predeces-
sor.
In Brazil after being sworn in, he
would have hung across his chest a
broad band of the colors of the eoun-
try, supporting q medal-the insignia
Of the presidency.
In Chile, following the taking Of the
oath before a joint session of con-
gress, he would have gone through
streets lined with soldiers at present
arms" to a special TIE Deum service
in the principal church of the city.
Immediately afterward he would have
held a reception, and would then have
paid visit to the ex-president.

presidency of the war-torn and war

archaeologists are having a great OPP

have volunteered help for excavating
the remains of these ancient dwellings,
which, according to Doctor Kellerehief,
the Swiss authority on the. subject,
ceased to be inhabited about the first
century of the Christian era. Numer-

PIckEREL-wEED FLOWERS.

"We don't smell very sweet, but
we're bright and gay and pretty"
said the Pickerel-Weed flowers.
But why have you such a strange

Pickerel-Weed family.

haven't named any of the other wild

"They could have named other flow
ers which grow in ponds after the
pickerels, because of the fact that the
pickerels lay their eggs in different

but they didn't want to do that.
They wanted to give US the whole
honor, so that folks would know that
the pickerels laid their eggs in our
leaves.
''If they lay them in other weeds,
no one is the wiser. That is, no one
is the wiser from the names.

lay their eggs in weeds, but 1 don't

alrymen with drawn sabers. When he
went abroad he would be preceded,
not by a trim policeman or an Argus
eyed secret service man, but by her

President"
And if Mr.. Harding, instead of be
ing installed as chief executive of the
worlds biggest republic, had been
seated as one of the heads of the
smallest republic, San Marino, he
would have experienced the most
elaborate procedure of all. He would
have donned quaint medieval state
garments; would have marched
through the streets of the capital pre-
ceded by heralds and escorted by gor-
geously-uniformed soldiers; would
have attended a preliminary church
service during which his predecessor
would sit on a canOpied throne soon
to be occupied by him; and finally,
would have had placed on his head a
headdress indicative of his office.
In addition to differences in the Off
cial ceremonies by which the presi-
dents of the world are inducted into
Office, there are many variations in
the festivities and celebrations that
accompany these events. In some
cases the accompanying observances
have become practically a part of the
official procedure. The newly installed
French president almost invariably
drives to the Hotel de Vile, the Paris
city hall, after taking Office, to attend
a luncheon and reception as the guest
of the president and members of the
municipal council. In Mexico, during
the evening preceding the midnight in.
duction into Office, the president-elect
usually attends banquet given In his
honor by the mayor Of the City OF
Mexico. There is a public reception
at the presidential palace the morning
after the Inauguration.
In Chile the Inauguration day is
often closed by a special concert al
the municipal theater, and on the fol
lowing evening the new president gives
a. state banquet for diplomatic repre-
sentatives, special ENJOYS and higt
officials of the republic and the prov
inces.
The United States, although its cap
ital is in a more rigorous climate than
those of many republics, is alone in
having an "al fresco" inauguration

THE WINNING OF THE CA.
MADAM WEST

Discovery of oil in northwest Can
ada toward the Arctic circle has ina
creased the Importance of the western
Canadian provinces near the United
States border, which will be the door
way for the new oil treasury.
The prairie provinces of Canada
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
were not without their bids to fame
before this discovery. For example:
The last of the wild buffalo herds
of America, survivors of the millions
of animals which roamed the plains
and woodlands of the continent, now
ranges through northwestern Alberta.
This province alone is estimated to
contain 10 per cent of the worlds
known coal supply.
The myriad of wild ducks, geese,
and other migratory fowl that fly
northward each spring are for the
most part bound for the northern
parts of the three prairie provinces,
where they build their nests and rear
their young.
The three provinces are naturally
considered at once, for among them
they cover all Of Canada which is in
process of being settled, west Of the
older Great Lakes province of On
tario and east of the Rocky noun
tains. This is Canada's "West," where
restless pioneer spirits from all lands
are carving out an empire as kindred

| the wilderness of the Missouri valley
and the great American desert" into
the rich states Of today.
The Canadian pioneers have advan.
tages over those who won the Amer
lean West, in that they have better
railroad methods and equipment, tele-
phones and wireless. But they have

cold Of the northern regions Of the

portions are separated from the United
States by only an imaginary line, and
are similar to the northern reaches OF

provinces is in their southern halves

will keep on blossoming and having
bright blue flowers on our stems.
"We know that the flowers will be
happy to be in the pond. And we
know, too, that the leaves are always
proud of having the pickerels come
and lay their eggs in them.
"We've heard the leaves whispering
to each other and saying, We've got
to guard over Mrs. Pickerel Fish's
little eggs. That's both an honor and
an opportunity. For an opportunity
is when one gets a chance to do, some
thing fine for his family, for others or
for himself. And we, the leaves, have
an opportunity Of helping others
