In explaining the probable habits or
the Gorgosaurus, DR.. w. D. Matthew,
curator of the museums department OF
vertebrate palaeontology, pictures the
prehistoric monster in chase of couple
of unwary duck gilled dinosaurs that
have carelessly wandered from the
banks of rivers and lagoons which
served them as refuge from land
lubbers like the Gorgosaurus.
The Gorgosaurus was long on speed
but short on brains, DR.. Matthew
said. In fact, he was a real lowbrow
among the ancient animals. Intellec-
tually he would have been a good COM
panion for crocodiles, which are put at
the foot of the class in most zoos.
SO, DR.. Matthew said, this enormous
but rather stupid beast would rely on
his speed to catch the frightened duck
billed dinosaurs. Standing up on his
rear legs and using his massive tail to
balance the body he would pursue his
prey. Catching them, he would at
tack ferociously with clam and tooth.
The duck-billed dinosaurs had no
means Of defense, if caught, and they
were promptly consigned to a Place
on the Gorgosaurus' menu.

MARCONI HASFAITH
in THE WIRELESS

LONDON, May 14-Signor Marconi,
inventor of wireless, pins his faith to
transatlantic telephone communica-
ton by wireless instead of cable. de-
spite the recent successful experiments
in America connecting Cuba with the
mainland in a telephone circuit ex-
tending 5000 miles.
"I still think" he said, that the only
satisfactorily method of telephoning
across the Atlantic Is by wireless. At
present we can only do a short dis
lance by cable telephone-from London
to Paris is as far as We can do now.
In attempts to communicate with
Spain we have failed. Up to 100 or
200 miles OF cable it works. With 1000
miles or more of cable it won't work.
wireless telephony, of course, has
not yet been developed to the same ex-
tent as the wire telephone, but it is
being rapidly improved. We have not
done anything like 5000 miles thus
far. We have spoken successfully
from London to Rome, and we have
got words through to America, but not
in a commercial or practical way. At
present there are certain disturbances
of waves in space, the cause of which

WANT TO APPEASE
RUSSIAN PEASANTS
BoIshevik Leaders Have Hard Time
Keeping Workers and Peas
! ants In Line.

HELSINGFORS, May 14-Recent
speeches OF Bolshevist leaders in Rus
sia and the utterances o the Bolshe-
visit press have indicated a double
purpose-to appease both peasant and
pity workers, whose interests are very
different.
This two-sided attitude Is main
tained, It is said. to conciliating the
peasants, who form the vast majority
In Russia, even at the cost of sacrifice
ing some Communist principles, and at
the Same time OF persuading the town
workers that the adoption of con-
sepvative land policy like the granting
bit OF tactics.
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevist Pre-
mier. addressing a meeting of railway
dwelt on 'the last battle with the
peasants, whom he characterized as
an uncertain factor that might swing
in favor Of capitalism or of the pro-
letariat.
1.-THE peasants helped the revolu-
tion," he declared, but now they are
tired and have swung around to a pro-
nounced petite bourgeoisie. They might
even turn monaTchist."
This last battle" with the peasants
IS In reality a battle Of COMPLEMENT.
IL is campaign to win over the land
workers. The we'll known journal
Derevenskaia Kommuna (Village Com
mune) has been rechristened Dere-
venskaia Pravda Collage TRUTH and
the peasants are begged to regard it as
their special paper and to make their
wants known to it's sympathetic ear.
You must know, peasants" 1t
writes, that If you will not support
Soviet rule, tomorrow the resuscitated
white generals will reappear. Only the
Car can replace the Bolsheviki. You
must decide for yourselves whether you
want him or not"
Meanwhile the peasants are filled
with relief at the substitution of q corn

SOVIET CONGRESS
TO PERMIT TRADE

RIGA. May IA decree issued by
the Soviet government to put into eff
feet the decision Of the last Soviet
congress permits trade in surplus food
stuffs under certain restrictions, says
report here from Moscow.
1t provides that 144 zoo, 900 bushels Of
the 210,000,0O0 bushels of grain neces-
sary for the feeding of the towns and
cities shall be taken from the farmers
by levy; the remainder to be pur-
purchased from them by giving them
in exchange for machinery, cloth, iron
and other articles.
Freedom of trade is to be permitted
only in districts which have paid their
taxes.
1t will be necessary, II is said, to OBJ
tain the machinery for the farmers
from abroad. but the other commodi-
ties could be produced at homo except
for the breakdown of production due to
the lack of fuel and raw materials.
For the present the only produce for
exchange with the peasants is salt and
oil. Here again, it Is pointed out,
there is a difficulty in the matter of
transportation, although both salt and
oil themselves are abundant.
All control and restrictions affecting
the transport of supplies are abolished.
Punishment is provided, however, for
selling grain without saving seed.
The decree is regarded by the news
paper Pravda as q sorrowful necessity.
The government, it says. was COM
PEELED to issue the order to induce the
peasants to labor on their land. The
Russian farmer had threatened to leave
much OF their holdings uncultivated so
there would be nothing to confiscate.

SCIENTISTS AGREE
ON ANCIENT BEAST

NEW YORK, May l4-Best minds
Of the American Museum of Natural
History agree that the Gorgosaurus, a
gigantic beast which lived way back
in Paleozoic times, ran, when in a
hurry, on it's hind legs.
Nobody ever saw a Gorgosaurus, but
scientists shopping around his ancient
habitats have found enlightening foot
prints and other evidence that he once
lived in what is ow the Canadian
province of Alberta. They show that
this carnivorous dinosaur used all
fours in ordinary travelling but being
spurred to high speed, the big fellow
got up on his hind legs. Accordingly,

quired by, the musuem from the Red
