Two hitherto unknown prehistoric
monsters which wallowed In the semi
tropical swamps of northern Montana
more than $4,000, 900 years ago have
lust been described from a collection
of fossil bones gathered by q Smith
sonian Institution expedition.
These creatures were members OF
the great dinosaur family. The first,
whose bones henceforth will have IN
scientific catalogues the name "palaeos-
cincus rugosidens," belonged TO- the
weird armored dinoSaur group, but us
bones show peculiarities which make
it a distinct type.
PalaaDscincus, according to Dr..
Charles w. Gilmore, curator OF Verte-
brate paleontology, had some features
unduplicated In any other animal form.
It was the originator Of the ball ana
chain" idea. At the top OF Its tall,
which was about five feet long. was q
ball-like mass of bone weighing about
50 pounds. The fossilized specimen IN
the Smithsonian collection Is so heavy
that some effort is required for strong
man to lift 1t. At first glance 1t would
seem that the monster carried this
ball as a weapon with which to tell
any enemy which came upon 1t from
the rear.
Too Heavy to Lift
Study of the other bones shows, Gil
more says, that 1t could not have been
used for such purpose. It was SO

on earth. He had what might be de-
scribed as q double -layered skull. Above
the thick skull bone which protected
his extremely small brain was q layer
Of heavy bone plates, equipped WIN
spines. All the rest Of the body was
covered with similar thick bone plates
entirely independent Of the skeleton
Beneath them was the thick skin. Be-
meath that were the massive ribs. Tne
bone plates were articulated 80 as to
give palaeoscincus some freedom OF
movement. He did not carry his armor

Just the same, Mr.. Gilmore explains.
he must have been an extremely slow
moving and awkward creature with the
enormous weight he was obliged to
carry. Why nature went to such
lengths to protect this cumbersome
creature. weighing approximately ton,
Is unknown. Apparently he was not a
fighter. His teeth, some Of which are
extremely small. show that he was ex-
clusively a vegetarian. Perhaps his
armor stood him in good stead when
he came in conflict with some OF the
fierce, meat-eating dinosaurs who were
his contemporaries.

The other new species, which has
been named styracosaurus ovatus, Is
represented only by the top Of the skull,
which shows it to be hitherto un-

the six great horns, or horn-nke bone

Specimens Of closely related species
show that this great creature prob
ably had. in proportion to its weight,
the smallest brain Of any animal that
ever lived on land. The enormous
skull, feet long, contains space for
nervous tissue only about the size OF q
mans fist.
Some idea of what styracosaurus must
have looked like In life, Mr.. Gilmore
says, might be obtained by imagining
a Texas horned toad magnified about
100 times. The result would be an
ever weirder animal than the ancient
monster.

the vertebrae in the tail were fused
together so that this organ did not
have the requisite hexibility for swing

the huge ball must have been dragged
along the ground when the dinosaur
moved, much as the convict must drag
the heavy steel bail attached to his
leg. The effect Of the bone mass would
have been to prevent the tail rising
from the ground.
The mystery Of this queer anatomical

EXPERT FLOUTS
LAND SCHEME
FOR JOBLESS
GIaSSford Plan Impractical,
University Director
Declares

Scouting the possibility of
solving the unemployment
problem by giving jobless men
small farms, DR.. T. B. Simons,
director of the University of
Maryland extension service,
said today that he is directing
a census of small Maryland
farms to find out just what a
man can do with 10 acres OF
ground or less.
DR.. Symons said:
"A number of suggestions
have been made through the
the press that the unemployed
be given little farms where
they can raise enough to sup
port themselves and their
families. One such suggestion,
for instance, was made by Gen.
Pelham d. GIaSSfOrd, major
of the District of Columbia
police, who tried to start a
movement to give each bonus
marcher a plOw and land to
use it on. Within the last
few days a number of welfare
workers have appealed to me
for my opinion on the practi.
Cability of such a scheme.
ut is my own opinion that
the idea has very limited pos
Sibilities. To take a man off
the city streets and say to him
Here is a farm, go to it,
could end in nothing but
disaster. Only a man trained,
and interested in farming and
physically capable of doing the
work could make a go of it,"
DR.. Symons said, however, that
in order to have specific data
to give to the welfare groups VINO
had applied to him for advice,
he had requested the county
agents of the extension service
to go to all the small farmers
of the State and find out Just
how they are getting along and
whether back to the land"

spread relief.
