Spelling Match A Draw

Lawyers. preachers, editors and
civilians went down. one by one.
under the fusillade OF words that
were hurled at them by the pro-
nouncers in the spelling match last
Friday night.
Naming the characters that rep
resent the oral elements of the
signs of ideas proved too much for
all except four-two to each side
of the two teams-who finally
agreed to quit and call the match a
draw. At the close, Team No.
was represented by its captain, Miss
Velsey Palmer and Mr.. III. l..
Pickle. and Team No. 2 by Mrs.
NJ. o. Stark and Miss Katie
Brannin.
About $500 was realized.

The presentation of the distin-
guished service medal to our young
hero. Mr.. Robert Gum Carlisle. was
a most, impressive scene. At the
end of the long handsome reading
room of the Elks' Club stood Col.
Geo. S. Byram. on his right. Mr..
Geo. J. Leftwich. Jr., commander of
the Daniel Bird Post of the Amer
lean Legion of Honor. and on his left
Robert Carlisle. Mr.. Geo. Leftwich
in a few well chosen. eminently fit
ting words, introduced Col. Byram
and paid tribute to his friend and
comrade. Mr.. Carlisle. The colon
els words of presentation were brief
and simple, style that seems char
acteristic of men of action. He said
he represented the president of the
United States, who is commander
in-chief of the army and navy and
presented the cross In the name of
the government in recognition of
personal valor. That the cross was
one of less than 5000 than had been
presented since the distinction was
authorized by congress many years
ago. Quoting from the official cita-
ton we find: For extraordinary
heroism displayed under fire. Car
rying out his orders to occupy po-
sition on the borders of the Aire

MUSIC.

Music is a moral law-it is the
essence of order, and leads to all
that is good. Just aad beautiful. of
which it is the invisible but eternal
form. The music committee of the
Chamber of Commerce recognizing
this truth will take STEPS to have
more music heard among us. There
are many who consider that our life
at present is peculiarly prosaic and
mercenary. and that our need for
music is imperative. Those among
us who can contribute in any way
to this d sire. should feel it
their duty to themselves and the
community. to respond to the call
that will be made.

IN umbrella. In the pterodactyl
only one finger Is elongated for a
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 Q most extraordinary
part of the amman. All pterodactyls
have large but lightly constructed
skulls with n long beak,. which in
most of them is set with sharp needle
like teeth. The Pteranodon, as Its
name indicates, Is toothless, with a
great, sharp-pointed beak somewhat
| like that of stork or kingfisher,
and q very light and delicately-con-
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 a mere little stub. The backbone
between the shoulders Is oil consOll-
dated into a single piece (called the
notarium), just as the backbone be-
tween the hip bones is consolidated
in most animals into a single piece
called the sacrum. The upper end Of
the shoulder girdle (scapula) is sock.
| eted into the side Of the notarium,
! the lower end (coracoid) into the
sternum on the under side OF the
body. This affords very strong pur-
chase for the wings, stronger even
than In birds, which sometimes have
the vertebrae partly consolidated like
notarium, but never get so far as
to have the scapula secketed into 1t.
| Great Spread Of Wing.
The breastbone or sternum ID not so
unlike the breastbone of bird. It Is
a broad fat plate with high crest
projecting forward and downward in
the middle line, to which the prin-
cipal wing muscle Is attached. In
this specimen, unfortunately, the
sternum was missing altogether.
The ribs are very imperfect, short,
and little curved. Probably a COIL
siderable part Of the body basket was
cartIlaginous, so that It has not been
preserved as fossil. The ribs In
this specimen were scattered, and nc
attept has been made to bring them
! back to their proper artlculatIons
They have merely been placed near to
their proper location.
The extent and limits Of the wing
membranes as shown on the specimen
are theoretical. No pterodactyl Of
this group has been found in which
they are preserved. They have beer
found, indeed, more or less perfectly
preserved. in some Of the smaller spe
, cies from the Soienhofen slate of Ba
varia. notably the long-tailed Rham
, phorhynchus and the short-tailet
Pterodactylus, Scaphognathus, etc

reptiles are much smaller and mor'

probable purposes to which they could
be applied. 1t is difficult to see how
sufficient width could be obtained
for the stretched membrane Of the
wings unless 1t were extended down
along the sides Of the hind legs, as
Doctor WiIllston believed, and not
merely along the side of the body,
as Doctor Seeley supposed. Then II
the membrane was stretched on the
outer side of each hind leg, It must
also have been stretched between
them and up to the tail, In order to
take the strnin 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
"pterold 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.
