Lake Rogoguada, he came upon the

ably spoken Of as aneomylodon- listal.
but later determined as the /grypo-
therium-listai, which is very closely
related genus to the mylodon. But
for our purposes We may speak of this
remarkable creature as giant
Pampean ground sloth
The remarkable character of the
discoveries of this cave lies in the
fact, first, that these bones were not
fossils but were the actual bones still
in excellent state of preservation.
In some cases, even with pieces of
muscle or tendon adhering to them.
Secondly, large cylindrical pieces of
the actual excrement of the beast
have been found almost intact.
These, in part, were composed of
grasses, leaf sheets. fragments 4 of
leaves, etc, and from these many of
the plants involved have actually
been analyzed. ..
In association with these remains
were the remains of other mammals,
among them a great carnivorous cat,
larger than the existing jaguar, and
which must have been about the
same size as an average tiger. This
find is more or less parallel to the
cave lion in Europe.
There was also a femur bone.
which has caused one scientist to con-

man, and that this great cavern was
used as an old corral i'm which these
hairy grypotheria were captives.
Still another question may possibly
arise in the minds of those gifted
with such Imagination, particularly
in view of the recent reported seeing
OF the so-called plesiosaurus. Is it
possible that any of these great mon
sters Of an ancient epoch might still
be inhabiting those mysterious un-
explored Patagonian mountain will
dernesses?
WELL, that same question being
asked a few years ago, caused
the London Daily Mail to outfit an
expedition under the direction of
Hesketh Pritchard, to try to solve this
problem. This expedition was the re-
suit of the discovery of the famous
grypotherium skin and remains in the
Patagonian cave. The expedition
went and brought back some inter-
esting and valuable scientific results,
but did not catch a glimpse of a
grypotherium. However, in my opin-
ion, the expedition never penetrated
far enough to actually give the mat
ter fair test. They stopped at the
point, more or less, from which they
should really have started. Beyond
them, north and south, lay thousands
of square miles of mountain valley
and densest kind of forests, in many
parts impenetrable to man save
through the greatest labors. Also great
swamp lands, undiscovered lakes and
hidden-away valleys and upland plateaus.
That there are any surviving de-
scendants of the pleisiosaurus or his
contemporaries. who incidentally
lived, perhaps. in a period twenty
million years ago, is not conceivable.

ditions necessary for their existence

ing. with young pioneer named
Eberhart and my companion ana
guide who had crossed Patagonia
with me, rode through the low shrub
of Califate and low-growing beeches
to the great mountain sides OF the
Andes. We soon came TO the broad
entrance of an enormous cavern
which nature had sculptured out in
a great, quadri spherical hole from
the pudding-stone like formamtion OF
the rock known as tertiary conglom-
crate. In fact. it closely resembied
what is known in Massachusetts as
Roxbury puddingstone. A number or
trees more or less obscured the

dust and gravel-like deposits which
had accumulated over the gradual
falling away Of the cavern's roof.

cave of certain animal remains Of
extinct fauna which had been found
there 1t resulted in my inspecting
the cave very carefully and. through
excavating, bringing to light some
very interesting finds. The top sur
face was thin layer of this dust
deposit in which could be found
ashes, shells and bones of recent ami
mails, probably broken by man. The
central layer contained. besides
branches Of trees and dried leaves.
the remains Of the guanaco (the wild
llaina), and also Of the extinct horse.
onshippidium, were found. In low
er layer there were no traces of
branches or leaves. Here we brought
to light not only bones of an ancient
animal, but also some Of its hair and
a small piece of skin and its excre-
ment.
A BOUT me on the floor of this great
cabin were evidences of previous
excavations, and, without doubt, these
were the results of the explorations
of my predecessors to this spot-Dr.
Ramon Lista, DR.. Rudolph Hauthal
and Dr. francesca Moreno, all of Ar
gentina. and the explorer. Otto Nor
denskyjold. Each had done his part and
contributed materially to the museums
and the building of the evidence.

Mr.. Knight of the American Museum
Of Natural History. AS yet 1 am not
aware that such a picture has been
made. but ancient chroniclers among
the Indigenous inhabitants of Pata-
gonia tell that their earlier people
recorded the existence of a strange,
ugly, hairy animal which had its
abode in the Cordillera, the ranges
of the Andes to the south of east,
which would be latitude 81 degrees. My
friends. the Tehuelches (southern Pata-
gonians) have mentioned similar ami
mails, about whose existence they say
their ancestors had transmitted the re-
membrance.
One question that will naturally
arise is as to the age of epoch in
which these great ground sloths am

stones polished by the hand of man
have been found. also f1ints cut in the
same manner as those found in the
Pampean formation. Also other evil
dences support the contention that
the large quadruped in question be-
longs to an extinct fauna, though
cotemporary with man. and that this
ground sloth disappeared only in the
epoch which is called the historical
epoch of our America
But there were further wonders re-
vealed in this great Patagonian cav
ern in connection with the remains
of Grypotherium- -listai The re-
mains themselves were found beneath
the dried earth on the floor of that
enormous chamber which, according
to the geologist. DR.. Rudolph Hauthal,
seemed to have been ar:ificially in
cased by rude walls. In one spot
these remains were 'scattered

Of some gigantic herbivore (herb-

quickly expire and suffer the bitter
tragedy Of having awakened from a
Mesozoic trance about thirty million
years too late. AS II. C. Wells says,
The pediod in which the marine
monster thrived was between two
hundred and sixty and two hundred
and sixty-five million years ago, and
the abrupt ending of the marine rep
tile is beyond all question the most
striking revolution in the whole his
tory of the earth before the coming
of man. 1t is probably connected
with the close of a vast period of

Who has not heard of the dramatic
discovery of the great mammoth
found encased in ice in northern ST.
IBERIA? Yet the find OF the remains
of the grypotheriumlistai is a dis
covery unique in the history of pale
cntology on account of the remark
the remains; some of the new speci-
mems exhibit no indication whatever

bones retain their original whitish
color, apparently without loss of
gelatin. while both these and other

Just skim over some of his manifold
and varied duties as Speaker:
He presides over the House, except
when it goes into the committee of
the whole House. when he calls fell

He decides all parliamentary ques-
tions, and with 435 members. many of
them very eager to show-up as clever
parliamentarians themselves, it will
be readily seen that there are end
! less possibilities for causing trouble
in this line.
He refers to the proper committee
each bill or resolution introduced. and
there have been we'll over 10000 al
ready this session.
He receives all executive communi-
cations from the White House and the
various departments, and all reports

of commissions and bureaus and
| boards and departments.
LIE receives suggestions, petitions,
IL protests and requests for all sorts
| of information on all sorts of mat
ters, some legislative and some al

all parts of the country.
He is charged with the administra-
tion of all business on the House end
of the Capitol, and is chairman of the
commission in charge of the House
office building. and also has jurisdic-
ton over the House restaurant.
He has to satisfy and amicably ad-
just the squabbling Of his colleagues
for the more desirable offices in the
Capitol and House office building as
old members go and new ones come
and there is general shifting about,
oftentimes due to changes in COM
mittee assignments.
He divides authority with the Vice
President on control of the Capitol
building and grounds. with the vet
eran architect Of the Capitol, Elliott
Woods, relieving them of the enor-
| nous routine responsibility.
He. cooperating with the Vice
President, must pass upon all appli-

in the Capitol.
