as to the reason for the complete
determination of the Dinosaurs at the
close of the Reptilian Age. Possibly
climatic changes may have brought
about colder seasons and conditions.
Volcanic eruptions may have filled the
atmosphere with fumes and polluted
the waters. Crustal faulting of the
earth may have drained the lakes and
basins causing unfavorable living con-
ditions for animals accustomed to liv-
ing in warm shallow swamps and
lakes. Nevertheless there seems to be
an unrecorded gap in our geologic
time between the end of the Reptilian
Age and the beginning Of the Age of
Mammals.
Tertiary Period
Following the Reptilian we have the
Tertiary Period. This period is di-
vided into four distinct divisions, viz:
Eocene, OIigocene, Miocene, Pliocene.
The Eocene layer is the first or old
est. This is the layer in which the
coal beds Of Red Lodge, Washoe and
Bearcreek were laid. The several coal
seams, five to ten feet thick show that
climatic conditions were very favor
able to luxuriant vegetation.
Mammal Period
During the Tertiary period there
developed an entirely different kind
of wild life. The mammals became
the dominant race of these times.
Horses in great numbers 2h feet
high, walking on three toes, iqantels
about the size of leopard, mastodon

these animals were diminutive in size

lutionary development up until tbs
end of the Pliocene times, and the be-
ginning of the Glacial Period, whel
once more we find complete oblitAra'
tion of these animals from the Ameri
can Continent.

B. A. HAWLEY RESIGNS
 FROM PARK COMMISSION
Member Will Make No Statement- Believed Dissatisfied With
 Appropriation

Dissatisfaction with the appropria- ton granted his board this year is believed to have been in back of the resignation of Park Commits sioner B. A. Hawley who admitted this afternoon he has already given notice of his desire to quit service in the park department.
 Commissioner Hawley refused 10 comment upon his retirement. He told an interviewer his only state ment would be to the mayor but as the two officials are known 10 be on the best of terms, il is not be- lieved there has been a disagree ment between them. The commits sioner appeared before members of the board of finance and taxation this year and urged an appropria- tion to beautify the parks. The items for which he spoke, the cost of which was approximately S50,- GOO, were cut in toto.
 Mayor Paonessa could not be reached for a statement Hawley is one Of Paonessa's appointees and has served two years on the board. He recently presented the city with a memorial bridge, erected in North End park as a memorial to his mother.

 Cheers and applause greeted the statement by President E. ". Pcl- ton today that the desired sum had been realized and that the goal had been passed by safe margin. The total reported today was S62, with a possibility that final clean up may bring this amount close to S6S,O00.

BOMB IN AUTOMOBILE
Allendalc, \, J., Hotel Man Killed When He Steps on Self Starter of His Motor Car.

Allendale, N. J., March S0.-John ODea, 26, owner of the Manor hotel, was killed instantly in an explosion of what is believed to have been a bomb and which wrecked his mo- tor car as he stepped on the starter today.
 The car stood in the courtyard at the rear of the hotel all night and a strong odor of picric acid lead the authorities to express the suspicion that bootlegging enemies were re- sponsible. o'Dea's body was badly mangled.
 The explosion was in the front or the motor end of the car and au- thorities expressed the opinion a bomb had been connected to the starter. O'Dea had seated himself in the machine and stepped on the starter when the explosion followed, practically blowing him to bits. The car was nearly demolished.
