BUENOS AIRES January S-Before Professor Elmer s.

 Professor Onelli explained that the name plesiosaurous was mfsnomer, and that the creature he still believed alive in the Patagonian wilds is prob ably a survivor of the race of giant sloths.

It would be easier to standardize the diet for mems bodies the world around than to establish uniform pattern for what their minds apprehend and as simulate One man cares for sym phony orchestra in classic music and another abhors what he thinks is tune less and goes to jazz. This patron of the drama wants to get his mind off business wo1riment, and he insists on a play that will amuse him and will rot ask him to think. But another feels that he has no time to waste on froth and tinsel; he wants a play with substance which uses the intellect of the playgoer. Here is reader on the train or the trolley who sees little ln print except what his eyes happen to light on here and there; and over there is one who carries a small book and peruses it thoroughly with satis- faction.
