NOT PLESI0SAURUS
But GLYPT0D0N OR
MEGATHER|UM, REPORT
tRy Associated Pressy


BUENOS AIRES, March 16.-It was
not plesiosaurus that was seen swim
ming In an Andean lake recently, but
a descendant either of the horny plat
ed glyptodon, or other the Megatherium
in the opinion of Professor Onelli, d.
rector of the Buenos Aires zoo.
"Plesiosaurus is a pseudonym the
newspapers have given it and which
has stuck" he said, but l believe 1t
is huge animal of the edentate fam
lily of which ancient remains, not fos-
sfl mark you, were found in Patagonia
in 1897, and one of which was fired
upon and hit by the explorer Ramon
Lista in 1890, without hurting it,
He explained that while the pies
iosaurus dated back ten million years
the edentates such as glyptodon and
megatherium belonged to the quater
nary era of only million years ago.
He said that from 1890 to the present
time there had been twelve places in
Patagonia between latitudes 38 and So
at which mysterious creatures were re-
ported to have been seen. These he
believes constitute few survivors of
the genus which existed in the pleisto-
ceno period.
Postpone Start
Prof Onelli said he had been obliged
to postpone the start of the expedi-
ton for another week as a total of
1000 pesos was needed, of which
5000 were yet lacking. While a mo-
ton picture concern had offered to
pay the entire expenses of the expe-
dition in return for the exclusive
right to film the capture of the ami
NAL, Professor Onelli preferred it to
be financed by popular subscription.
He exhibited more than a hundred
letters from persons desiring to join
the expedition. These included one
who recommended himself as hunter
for Spanish royalty and another who
had invented a new type of dynamite
with which to blow up the monster
The glyptodon was a creature re-
sembling the armadillo and which at
tanned the size of an OK 1t had
strong limbs with short, broad feet
The megatherium was a gigantic,
sloth-like edentate from Is to 20 feet
in length. 1t had a short neck heavy
body and powerful tail and hind legs.
With its strong prehensile tongue it
tore from trees and shrubs the leaves
and twigs upon which it subsisted

The business will continue to oper-
ate as Lakes drug store. which has

Radio Club Discusses
Transmission Problem

A warm discussion over the respec-
tive merits and dement's of transmits
sion by local continuous wave sets
during evening hours was held at the
regular meeting of the DIX Radio club
in the high school Wednesday night
A vote as to whether interference
was caused by such transmission
showed a very close decision, but it
was later pointed out that a change
in hours would require constitutional
change which could not be made be-
fore next meeting The matter was
therefore left 'in the air" until the
next meeting.
A discussion on Power for Vacuum

The falls spoken of in the above
narrative are doubtless one of many
small cataracts sprinkled about thru
Maine. The volume of water Is not
great, but it yours down over a ser
les of lodges into a pool in very
attractive way.
With Mr.. King on his expedition
above mentioned were a representa-
tive of the Reporter and two younger
people, Miss Eunice f. Patten of
Brooklyn and Miss Edwina Burebe
of Skowhegan A few moments were
spent in visiting the fals.s and while
there the approach of thunder storm
was noted. Just as Mr., King was
preparing to blow up the dam the
storm broke in full force He took
to the woods, and the other members
of the party remained sheltered by
the trees behind which they had sta
toned themselves for safety about
100 feet from the expected explosion.
The downpour was sufficient to give
great, but it pours down over SER
everybody a thorough soaking When
it abated a little Mr.. King, in spite
of the dampness, was able to light
his fuse to which he had attached a
stick of dynamite. This he damned
as far down as he could into the dam
structure, and then retreated to a
place of safety. The explosion
scattered gravel and small rocks all
about the territory and caused an
opening through which the waters ra-
pidly escaped. The three specta-
tors started for home at that time
Mr.. King remained and blew up the
other three dams. Any one who has
never plunged along through soaked
underbrush cannot realize how wet
such walking can be. There were
dry wraps at the car. however, and
no one took any harm from the ad-
venture.
Just as Mr.. King left the banks of
Michael Stream to walk out he scared
up flock of young woodcock from
10 to 20 in number. These are very
rare in this section. Mr.. King says
that in all his woods experience this
is perhaps the second or third time
only that he has run across young
woodcock in this way. He continu-
ed his walk out through the woods
and fields and down to the river road
leading from Scion southward. At
ter he had gone about half mile
on this highway he was picked up by
a passing automobile in which were
Matthew Hines. Mr. and Mrs. Her.

machine took him the rest of the dis
lance to Skowhegan.

Experiences In Maine Woods

ing camp in the vicinity of Licking
ton in the big woods of Maine, re-
lates to our readers some interest
ing facts and experiences which he
has witnessed during his life time.
Mr.. Skillings has shot several bear
and trapped some. 1t used to be
pastime for the lumbcriacks on a
very good day in winter when the
snow was real deep, to catch deer
and mark their ears, turn them loose
and see if by chance they might get
one the next fall with their own mark
on it. Mr.. Skillings has been on
some interesting canoe trips, stating
that his favoriate canoe was the ken
nebec" which is made in Waterville
Mr.. Skillings is registered guide

the big woods. He advises that

line up-to-date camps there. of

Deer are very plentiful in this re-
gion. quite a few moose. Mr.. Skill
llngs has never seen the partridge so
plentiful as they are this season. He
has general license to guide, which
gives him permission to guide any
where in the State of Maine. He
uses his camp to accommodate peo-
pie whom he is to guide and who
want to get back into the woods where
1t is quiet, away from business wor-
.rles, etc. There was party of
i've at this camp last fall from Mary
land. DR.. Charles r. Law, one of
them, remarked that it was the most
beautiful place he had seen and
should see it again this year Mr..
Sk1llings is quite proud in saying that

men or women anywhere they wish

SHIRE and stay in the woods the whole

special attention to young boys whose
parents wish them to learn the art

use the rife and revolver with per-
feet ease and safety, something every
boy should learn. 1t seems absurd
but he knows several that would get
lost in western corn field say no
thing about tho forests of Maine.
Another good point which Mr.. Skill
lings shows in his character is, that
he never kills an animal far the sake
of killing, not even squirrels. he res
poets the game laws and wishes they
were enforced more than they are, as
there are many Game Hogs in the
state. Mr.. Skillings went by one
pond in the north of this country in
June of last year and found seven
deer piled up with only two pounds
of steak cut from the same. Now
people are wondering what is becom-
ing of the deer. Two men, it is
said, went up Sandy Stream last sum
which one third would not clear the
law, brought them out without dres-
sing them and when they got home
had to throw them away. Those
are only two of great many cases
similar to those that our informant
has noticed in the last four years.
Bears and wild cats seem to be about
the only animals that are increasing
very fast, except partridge. Mr.
Skillings compliments our Big Woods
page as being very helpful to nom
residents in finding their way to die
erent pleasure resorts.

he and Mr. Pooler began in the sum-

swamp which then characterized the
lower eastern shore, and they began
at once the building of the first cot

home nearby, and soon Henry Varney
had one there also. After that the
building of cottages upon the shore
under discussion progressed rapidly,

Just Returned From Allagash Trip

Frank Capino Of Greenville, well
known Maine Woods guide. has just
returned from the Allagash trip and
states that it is the best trip he has
taken for many years. He was in
company with magazine and news
paper men, also the Fish and Game
Commissioner, and with whom he en-
ioyed the trip very much. They saw
1873 deer, fifty per cent of them being
males, and caught a lot of trout. Mr..
Capino says that the water was low
and the weather fine. Also that the
fall hunting prospects look fine, for
the Allagash never fails for its big
game and fish. 1t is also one OF the
finest canoe trips in New England.
There are a lot of ducks and par
trdges; also plenty of bears and a
few moose.
