Proof That Colossal
Beasts Roanned Mexico

Much interest was created a short
time ago by the news Of the discovery
of the remains of monstrous animals
In the state of Sonora In Mexico.
These remains have since been ex-
amined One was the tooth of an
alosaurus, an animal in some respects
like crocodile, but Of colossal size.
This tooth, of which only the top Is
complete, is IL inches long and
inches wide, and In its incomplete
state 1t weighs over six pounds. 1t
belonged to creature 10 feet high.
Another tooth was II inches long.
According to calculations by veter-
mary surgeons and dentists the COM
plete set of teeth belonging to one of
these huge beasts must have weighed
nearly quarter Of ton. Its head
could not have been less than good
sized motor car, and the total weight
Of this monster must have been scores
of tons.

CorD Goes Shopping

A man who owned feed and grain
store In Folkestone, England, while
taking his breakfast the other day
heard a commotion in the shop.
He fastened to the front to greet
these early customers, and found to
his surprise that cow had taken his
place behind the counter, and was
calmly breakfasting out Of one OF the
corn-bins. By her side was an agi-
tated woman, who explained that the
cow had chased her into the shop
from the street.
Rather amused than irritated, the
man let the COW finish her breakfast,
meanwhile fetching halter, with
which he led her quietly back to her
master when she had finished.

The parents of Ethel had ideas on
the rearing of their child, and insisted
on trying to carry them out.
One evening, just after tea, Ethel
ran into the dining room, her little
face ablaze with excitement. Father
sat reading his newspaper, while
mother was mending the stockings.
ooh, mummy" burst out Ethel, may
I say something's"
,"No, Ethel" said mother, firmly.
''You know 1t is against the rules to
talk when daddy is reading. You
must wait till he has finished"
To make the lesson more effective,
father went on for some time. Then
he laid down the paper. and asked:
"Now, dear, what Is it you wanted to
say?'
"It doesn't matter much now" said
Ethel coldly. II only wanted to say
that 1 couldn't turn off the bath-tap,
and all the waters running down the
stairs"

may be found among insects as among

type is found among beetles, bugs and
moths, while grasshoopers, mosqui.

A COMMON DISCOVERY

A new policeman had been put on
the local force and few days after
his appointment he stopped to talk
with the man who had succeeded In
landing him the place.
swell, John, how are you getting
along In your job?" the friend asked.
"Fine, Mr.. x, fne," the freshman
officer replied. 'As a matter of fact,

being policeman, If you just go along
and mind your own business"

Degrees of Latitude

Points on the same meridians OF
longitude are farther apart at the
equator than at any point north OF
south. This can be readily seen by
consulting a globe, for the meridians
converge upon the North and South
poles, the distance between them at
these points being zero. This has been
proved by actual measurement of de
grees. II Is found that the length of
a degree of latitude Is greatest at the
equator. decreasing gradually toward
the North and South poles.

want with me?" asked the surprised
one. The clerk explained that she
saw the other pilfer an article.
"You can't touch me without
search warrant" said the ''shoplifter-
ess." The clerk insisted and the ac-
cused returned to the store.
Re-entering the store, the fair one
said: II didn't take anything; I'm
preachers daughter. But the clerk
insisted upon making a personal
search When the artificial flower
was found on her person, the young
woman remarked, coolly, defiantIy:

And the shoplifteress was permit
