effects of esosion, as though they
had been rolled upon a beach Of

DR.. Gilmore was also fortunate
in that the bones Of one skeleton
OF Dimetrodon were still joined to-
gether as in life. He says:
Case thinks it was able to move
swiftly for a short distance. and
that it hid in vegetation and made
short, scuttling rushes upon prey,
ending with a short pounce, which
permitted its weight to add some
thing to the vigor OF attack by
tooth and claw.

Dimetrodon was the king OF
beasts for some three million
years. His subjects, or rather his
commissary, comprised hundreds Of
species and thousand Of represent
atives Of amphibious creatures
which forecast the coming of true
ster as 1t undoubtedly appeared in
life. Many men have endeavored
to do so since Cope named the
beast on a fragment of its skele-
ton. because Of its smooth spines.
Time and again, various heads
have been attached to the skeleton
in museums, which were after
ward found to belong to other
species. Gilmore, rummaging
among the unworked up material
In the National Museum, ran
across a very nearly perfect skele-
ton which he recognized at once
as that OF nearly complete
Dimetrodon gigas.
He also found several hundred
bones or smaller species Of the
genus, together with some forty
skulls and many partial skeletons
OF the pre.reptiles which Dimetro-

Even his hind limbs were so little
developed that he probably drag

been used as paddles in swimming.

FIRST FIyE-FINGERED HAND.
One of the strange features OF
animal life on earth is that the
amphibians. the first animals to
emerge from water and gradually
acquire a partial life on land, had
far more human elements in their
skeletons than any of the rep
tiles that succeeded them.
Their reptile successors rapidly
underwent evolutionary processes
by which the bones used by
amphibians acquired varied modi-
fications, according TO the needs

OF species involved to procure
food. Thus Prof. II. +. Osborn
continues:
THE environment Of tho ances-
tors OF reptiles was favorable to the
capture Of food (prey by sharply
pointed recurved teeth. and by the
claws of a five.fingered hand and
feet. The most remarkable of
these types-the giant fin.back

five feet In height OF spinal curva-

rious museums indicate monsters
that were more than twice these
measurements. indicating also tons
to bulk. Had they reared on their
four limbs, their appearance would
be much more terrifying than in
their crawling attitude.
We really owe much more to DR..
Gilmore for working so long and
so patiently to reconstruct this
monster.

Burnt Matches.

Following the dog to the door, we
could neither see nor hear anything
going on outside, though Barney's
snifflngs under the door and his low
growi warned us that something was
afoet, either on the dump head or in
the partly wrecked cabin beyond.
While we were still peeptng and peer
ing, each at his auger-hole and each
ready to take an offhand shot at any
thing that seemed suspicious, the ST.
lence Of the mountain night was ripped
and torn by the most hideous clamor
imaginable, arising, apparently, In the
cabin or perhaps from the growing Of
trees Just behind it. The racket was
deafening; comparable to nothing that
I'd ever heard; magnified orchestra

fresh scheme for getting rid Of us, was
to get bar and pry our two doors
open SO that the breeze might blow
through and air the place out bit.
Closing and barring the doors after
the sulphur stencil had been reduced
to mere matchbox odor, we estab-
lished our night-watch. Daddy Hiram

promise to call me at the end of a
couple OF hours. This time he behaved
better, rousing me little before mid

and pointed to the sleeping dog as evil

within smelling distance.
'Been that-away ever since you
turned In" he said, meaning. as took
II, that the dog had been resting easy.
You can Just keep an eye on Barney.

hours when Daddy Hiram came to
shake me awake.

the collie was moving uneasily from
one door to the other, stopping now
and then to stand motionless with his
ears cooked and his head on one side:

When he was forced to make bolt
for the life-saving hole In the door,
ran In again; thus got couple OF the
floor planks loose and pried them out.
In the space beneath the OPEN
cracked floor we found Bullerton's
chimney end; an old discarded boiler
fue, 1t seemed to be, leading up from
the bench below. From unearthing
the deadly thing 30 muzzling 1t with

two; and with the gas-main thus shut
on, the air In the shafthouse soon be-
came bearable again, the hole we had
chopped through the floor serving as
a ventilator through which the cool,
crisp night air came rushing In a re-
vtvifying blast.
Our first care, after a prolonged
silence led us to believe that the raid
ers had withdrawn to study up some
