SABER TOOTH LONG EXTINCT
Tigers Had Upper caninss Which Pre-
vented Them From Eating Only
Small Amount Of Flesh.

The saber-tooth tiger, which seems
to have become extinct at about the
time Of the beginning of the Glacial
period, had upper CANNES which In
some cases are said to have been five
or six times as long as the neighbor-
ing teeth, and hence were called
"saber-teeth."
The animals became extinct because
the great CANNES had overgrown their
usefulness, and became hindrance In
stead Of help to them In getting a
living.
The CANNES finally became so large
that the animal could not open Its
mouth wide enough to make use of them
in biting. and the space between them
would admit none but very small
piece Of meat to enter, even II large
piece could be torn away.-Detroit

the highest authority on the Chris
tian religion.
But will this controversy lead to
trials for heresy, or persecution, or
intolerance? Probably, as rule, but
very little of either. Both parties
will defend their views, but surely,
defending what one believes to be
truth or refusing to accept what he
considers an error is not intolerance
or bigotry.
Certain individuals of both parties
are likely to use uncomplimentary
names when describing their OPP
ponents, but this practice will not
be confined to one party. If some
modernist call the fundamentalists
reactionaries, bigots, backnumbers.
cranks, mossbacks and narrow
minded ignoramuses, probably some
fundamentals will try to match
him with terms equally uncompli
mentary.
But l certainly believe that the mass
of church people have no intention
of being intolerant and no desire to
prosecute anyone. Such men as John
D. Rockefeller, William j. Bryan
and Senator George w. Pepper have
very emphatic views on the subject
of religion, but can we imagine them
wanting to persecute someone be-
cause he does not agree with them?
