Footprints Is Million
Years Old Found Here

WASHINGTON = Footprints
made in the sand approximately
twenty-five million years ago by
animals long since extinct have
ben discovered in the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado River They
have been preserved indelibly in
the record of the rocks, in this in
stance in the Coconino sandstone
of Arizona.
DR.. Charles w. Gilmore, the
paleontologist who uncovered many
of these ancient tracks, has
brought specimens of them to
Washington. He describes the uni
que exhibit for the first time in a
bulletin of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition made public Monday.
The human mind, according to
Doctor Gilmore, can scarcely grasp
the idea of the vast age of animal
life on the earth that is presented
by these strange footprints. Some
tracks of extinct quadrupeds were
first discovered in the Grand Can
yoD III 1915 by Prof. Charles
S6huchart.
In 1924 DR.. John C. Merriam,
president of the Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington, conceived the
idea of having permanent exhibit
of the footprints in place, just as
they were found, so that the tour
ist that visit the Grand Canyon
may see them.
Such an exhibit has been pre-
pared on the Hermit Trail by Doc
tor Gilmore, in addition to the
specimens brought to Washington.
The tracks include those of new
and unknown species that lived in
the wet sand of this region when
the earth was much younger. The
Smithsonian Institution hopes later
-ko do similar work in other local
tiles and to take steps to preserve
such natural phenomena.
"The great antiquity of these
footprints, which occur from 900
to 1880 feet below the level of the
present rim of the conyon," says
Doctor Gilmore, "is clearly demon
strated at this locality
eft is obvious that since the day
when those animals impressed
their feet in what at that time was
moist sand more than 1000feet Of
rockmaking materials were piled up
in successive strata above them,
and this does not take into account
many hundreds of feet more that
have been eroded off from the
present top of the canyon wall.

ACETYLENE LATEST ii
FUEL FOR MOTORS

PARIS, April 17.-Diluted acety-
lene gas is the latest automobile fuel
turned out by Paris research labora-
tories to free France from the grip of
American oil companies. -
France has no oil wells of any con-
sequence. Scientists are working
night and day TO find a satisfactory
substitute for gasoline, which can b.
produced from Frances own soil.
After several years successful ex-
perimenting with charcoal burning au-
tomobiles, France now turns to acety-
lene gas. For eight days light Gays,
imousines and heavily laden auto
trucks, whizzed and labored around
the Monthlery autodrome track, test
ing the new gas substitute.
I'VE have found a fuel, the ingredi-
ents of which need not be imported,
which eau be used on ans automo-
bile and with an ordinEU carbu-
rotor" is the claim of the french I'M
ventors. Our fuel is II per cent
cheaper than gasoline. Il is more
powerful than gasoline, ana does not
in any way deteriorate the lubricatiug
oil with which it comes in contsct."

Dramas in

By LEO WALMSLEY

THIS Is nature story with

living in an old Arab house on the
coast Of East Africa. 1t was a very

walls and a flat roof, and an open

cOckroach wasps, company Of which
stationed themselves in the vicinity of
the house when the plague was at its
worst.
There is no sight in nature more
wonderful than a cockroach wasp IN
action. One Of the favorite cockroach
hunting grounds was the open court
yard, for close to it my native cook
had his kitchen. You'd stand there
and you'd see an old cockroach recon
noitering the discarded skin of a ba-
mana. Suddenly it would seem, an
emerald had dropped from the sky,
and n small insect with rakish wings
and body colored q vivid green would
land alongside the cockroach, glide in
obliquely, and mako a swift, faultlessly

Then would follow an exciting strug,

next intended move, the roach would
do everything in its power to prevent
the fatal sting piercing its body; rush
and stop suddenly; turn abruptly 10

and as quickly turn again.
Such a drama / watched one day.

cockroach was stung and the wasp was

Suddenly a small bird Git must

downwards, made a thrilling Immel-

aid, and shot off through the arch
way which led from the courtyard
into the open where the palm trees
grew. The wasp was in its beak.
It happened so quickly that it was
impossible to say for certain where
the bird had alighted, but by the way
it flew l knew the place couldn't be
far from the roots of a palm, where
the soil was sandy and sparsely
grown with grass.
