around this outline ran q well-defined
sewn thread which had, It appeared, at
tached the welt to the sole. Further on
was another line Of sewing, and In the
centre, where the foot would have rested
had the object been really a shoe sole,
there was an indentation exactly such as
would have been made by the hone Of the
heel rubbing upon and wearing down the
material Of which the sole had been made.
Thus was found a. fossil which b the
foremost mystery of science to-day.
For the rock in which II was found is at
least 5000, 900 years old! a-- "A, {
And if the object was as 1t seemed, D
part of a shoe, it must have been lost IN
the mud, from which the rocks were
formed, 5000, 900 years ago!
But this sets back the antiquity of man
to a point at least four million years
further than even the most daring
scientists have ever placed it. Fur
thermore, as the fossil, assuming that II
is shoe, shows the greatest skill In nsA-
ing, it would appear that 5000, 900 years
' ago there was a race Of mankind 30 far
advanced in civilization, and in the arts
that they knew how to make an entirely
modern shoe. ... .. ...
When it il considered that science be-
leves that not further back than $4,000
years ago at the most the forefathers Of
mankind were hair-covered, club-carrying,
vicious and ferocious apelike creatures
just emerging into the dawn Of intelli-
gence, 1t will be seen that the discovery Of
a well-made, hand-soled shoe 5,0oo,0o0
years old is disconcerting indeed.
Mr.. Reid brought his find to New York
and submitted II to number of gcologists
and paleontologists for inspection and
explanation of the fossil and Of what
the geologists thought Of II. Mr.. Reid
says: ... . -. -
"on arrival at New York showed the
fossil to DR.. James F. Kemp, geologist Of
Columbia University; Professors H. +. Os-
born, w. d. Matthew and +. o. Hovey, Of
the American Museum of Natural History.
All of these men reached the same conclu-
sion, in effect that 1t was the most re-
markable natural imitation Of an artificial
object they had ever seem These ex-
perts agreed, however, that the rock for
nation was Triassic, and manufacturers
of shoes agreed that originally the speci-
men was hand-welted sole. DR.. w. d.
Matthew wrote brief report on the find,
declaring that while all the semblances Of
a shoe were present, including the threads
with which il had been sewn, II was only
a remarkable imitation, lusus naturae,
or freak of nature
81 next got hold Of microphoto-
yrapher and an analytical chemist Of the
Rockefeller Institute, who, on the outside,
so as not to make II sn institute matter,
made photos and analyses of the specimen.
The analyses proved up any doubt Of the
shoe sole having been subjected TO Triassic
fossilization. Triassic rocks are variously
estimated as having been formed from
