Life on Earth Before
the Canbrion Period

A picture of life as it existed on the
earth 600,0000OO years ago has been
drawn by Prof. Sir Edgeworth David.
Australian scientist.
He has found fossils Of animal life
in Australia dating back TO before the
Cambran period in geology.
Sir ElgewOrth, almost by accident
discovered in the rocks of Mount Lofty
and In the Flinders ranges of South
Australia beautifully colored fossils
which, from the strata in which they
were found, show that marine fauna
in the early days of the earth's forma.
tion had covered a million square miles
OF what IS now Australia.
The fossil life thus represented must
have crossed the Pacific ocean. Some
OF il consists of sandworms and OF
forms related to craytish and shrimps.
Their limbs and shells were formed
of a horny substance, and the colors
We're those of the rainbow.

have overlooked this obvious discovery

Whale Was Monster

The enormous skeleton OF a 5000
year-old Greenland whale has been
found at Kistinge, near Halmstad,
Sweden, by workmen digging a ditch
near the seashore. A monstrous Jaw.
bone, measuring about thirteen feet In
length, has already been unearthed.
On account of its size 1t was first
taken by the workmen to be a part of
the hull of an ancient vessel.
The bone has been examined by
Psychologists, who estimate the whale

BolsheUik Cruelty

The animals in the Russian zoo were
singled out by youthful and mis-
chievous bolsheyiki for practical boil

blades in loayes of bread and pitched
them into the cage of a $4,000 ele-

agony the same day. An ostrich dy.

reported having seen youth throw

its stomach. Such diabolical tricks
