Geologist Finds Fish
$50 Million Years Old

Red Lodge, Mont.-A number of fish
which swan in the waters of Montana
3S0000,000 years ago were caught here
recently-with a biologists pick.
7 Prof. r. Z. Chamberlain, leader of
the Princeton geological expedition in
the Beartooth mountains last summer
found embedded in the red shale on
the face of Beartooth butte several
fossilized specimens of ostracoderms
-fishlike creatures that swan in
American rivers cons ago.
The ostracoderm resembles cross
between crab and a founder. Its
body was about seven inches long and
was covered by bony plate much
like a crabs shell. Projecting from
beneath the plate was a tail and u
pair of jointed flippers much like the
large claws of crayfish.

How 1t Started
Why We Call Them "cop."
By JEAN NEWTON

Why We Call Them "cops"
THAT a policeman should be known
4 colloquially as a "cop" seems
strange and puzzling not only to those
who run and read but apparently to
others who profess to have made q
study Of these things and should know.
1t has been suggested that the rea-
son for this colloquialism was the fact
that many years ago, when Fernando
Wood was police commissioner Of New
York city. he designed copper badge
which all policemen had to wear for
purposes of Identification.
The fact is that this suggested his
tory of the term is quite erroneous.
The word "cop" for policeman" far
antedates the advent of Fernando
Wood. II Is derived in fact. from the
old English ''cop' meaning ito catch"
so that its use in the sense indicated
is quite logical.

sleep with her baby until spring
comes. Mr.. Polar Bear roams about
all winter long; he doesn't seem to
need long winter sleep. Mrs. Bear
stores up great deal of fat to keep
her alive through her sleeping season.
When her baby grows up and is strong
she, too, will make herself a snow
cave and follow her mothers example.
The Polar Bears feet or paws are
very powerful and in order that they
may be secure in walking on slippery
ice, many prickly hairs grow on the
soles. And oh, how these beautiful
creatures can swim and dive! You see
they must be able to, for the food
they like best lives in the water. Seals
are great delicacy as is walrus meat,
but when these are not to be had, the
bears content themselves with berries.
Perhaps these make rather nice des-
sert!
Baby bears are born as blind as they
can be and without one little bit Of
fur. They must be nearly five weeks
old before their eyes can see or before
their bodies begin to grow their lovely
thick coats These Polar Bears are
the largest in all the bear family and
certainly the most beautiful. Some
times they may swim for many miles,
or drift on ice cakes far from home.
They do not mind, for the whole
Northland is their home and If they
can find plenty of ice and snow they
are comfortable and happy.

OTHER TOWNS
 ALSO AFFECTED

Appointment of Judge George w. Browne and Deputy Judge Harold Logan to the bench of the Wolcott town court by the session of the legislature recently adjourned may be illegal. Due to the fact that the question of the legality of the legis- lature's action in naming Hartford's s city court judges has been raised and the threat having been made to carry the matter to the supreme court, 1t has developed that the same situation, cited in connection with the Hartford police court. also pertains to the Wolcott, Stratford, Rocky Hill, New Haven and Dan- bury courts.
 Early in the session of the recent 1891 general assembly 1t was seen that a fight was to develop on the question of judges for the Hartford city court. When the smoke of bat tie had cleared, after more than two months of wrangling, 1t was seen that the two republican incumbents had been dropped and two other g.o.p. choices named in their places.
 The choice of the two new men waS not made until the latter days of the 1881 session. Needless to say.

Greenwich Society Is All Aflutter Because the Law Says They Shall Not Wed Without Legal Li- CenSe

Greenwich, Conn. June 12 (UP) = The familiar joke of the bride groom who forgot the ring is as nothing compared with the plight of Charles Arthur Moore, Jr, socially prominent New Yorker, who planned to marry Miss Rhea Logan Munroe of Greenwich tomorrow. With $500 invitations extended, the bishop engaged to perform the ceremony and train and steamship reservations for the honeymoon made, the couple discovered they had forgotten to ap- ply for a license five days in ad- vance.
 The only hope of holding the ceremony as scheduled at Christ church tomorrow seemed to rest to- day in the decision of Attorney-G Gen. eral Warren B. Burroughs as to whether the Connecticut marriage laws would permit Probate Judge William c. Rungee to waive the five day law. Judge Rungee has refused to waive the law on his own respons- ibility. claiming the present case Is not the emergency or question of public policy" the law specifics.
 If the attorney-general rules against waiver, the bride and groom probably will motor over the New York line to Portchester. be married by e justice of the peace, and then return for mock wedding" at the church. Miss Munroe said today that such 8 solution would be con sidered "as a last resort. More than 1000 guests have arrived in town already. Many attended a dtn- ner to the couple last night. The right Rev E. Campion Acheson, Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, who was scheduled to officiate at the ceremony, has been asked to exert hts influence to have the law waived.

The weirs, N. H., June IF (UP)
 - Search for former State Senator Chelso l.. Arrigoni of Connecticut was transferred today from Timber Island, in Lake Winnepesaukee, to Mark Island, adjoining. Sheriff Frederick Elliott of Balknap county and 60 paid possemen went out to Mark Island, little more than three miles off shore, determined to hunt 1t thoroughly for traces of a man reported seen through eyeglasses on Timber Island late Wednesday.
 The two islands are separated on- ly by a 100-foot channel, and 1t was pointed out that Arrigoni, an expert swimmer, could go from one island othe other in the event that he was the man reported seen. An all- day search of Timber Island yester- day showed that two of five summer camps there had been broken into. but there wa snothing else to tndi- cate that someone was on the island. The cottages have not been opened for the season. Arrigoni has been missing since he disappeared from the rear cockpit of a motorboat while crossing the lake May 31 with three companions.
