Prehistoric Survival

South America has a type of ar
madillo which has been declared
by n%aturalists to be an attenuated
survival Of a prehistoric monster.
There have long been legends to the
effect that in the unexplored heart
Of Brazil, there still are remnants
Of creatures which lived on earth
in great numbers some millions Of
years ago. The rhea leaves tracks
very similar to those left in the
fossil formations by dinosaurs.
The dinosaur was not a bird and
was, in fact, a quadruped, but the
similarly is that both dlnosaur of
cons ago and rhea leave similar
three-toed tracks. The African os-
trich has but two toes.

Rocky Mountains Did Not
Exist Ages and Ages Ago

Biologists say that 60,000,000
years ago there were no Rocky
mountains. Rather, says a writer
in the Philadelphia Record, a huge
and pacific sea stretched southwark
from the Arctic ocean across this
now richer territory and perhaps
Joined another long bay advancing
from Arizona.
Then the West began to rise.
What was once the floor of seas be-
came low plains and swamps. Ar.
mored dinosaurs provided with
queer beaks and horns wandered
yer all these swamps grubblng for
roots and eating leaves which
looked like palms. Other dino
saurs tried to catch and eat their
cousins.
Then terrific earthquakes began.
Swamps shook and became hills |;
hills were bent and tossed into
mountain ranges. In the end they
stood as two mountain ranges where
there once were muddy bays and
swamps.
Much later glaciers appeared.
These began as snow fields among
the peaks. Then the snow froze
into ice, and began to creep down.
hill AS 1t moved 1t tore off blocks
of rocks, using them as planes and
chisels to dig valleys deeper and
sleeper cliffs. At last, joining In
huge Ice streams, they carved deep
canyons through the ranges and
thus made their way to the plains.
Where two canyons were dug
close together they left steep walls
of rock. But they often cut through
these walls, leaving sharp triangu-
lar mountains.
Visitors to Glacier National park
may trace these records of the past.
The color Of the rock formations
tells the story of geological change.
The bun beds tell of q time dis
turbed by many storms. The green
ones mean shallower waters, with
periods when great mud fats lay
bare and steaming In the sun. Red
rocks mean even greater shoals,
perhaps, with periods when the sea
disappeared and streams flooded
what once were bays.

Some form of police protection

the day the first colony Of white
people landed on American soil,
says Pathfinder Magazine. Con-

Massachusetts got the credit for the
move towards an organized police
force because Of a system Of night
watchmen provided for u~nprotect-

called a ward, was later estab-

No "lsle of Lost Ships"
Located in Sarqasso Sea

In 1925 DR.. William Beebe head
ed an expedition to the Sargasso
sea for the New York Geological So
ciety. His report firmly d%iscredited
the belief that there is an isle of
lost ships" or a graveyard of
missing ships" In the Atlantic. Or,
as legend and myth have it. that all
the wrecks and derelicts Of the At
lantlc eventually drift to this weedy
spot and here, tangled In a mat of
vegetation, slowly eddy round and
round in desolate assembly.
The Sargasso sea, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Is the name
given to a vast area In the Atlantic
ocean roughly between the parallels
of 20 degrees and 30 degrees north
and merldians 80 degrees and 20 de-
grees west, In which patches of
seaweed are common. These patches
of seaweed are kept in q slow swirl
by the Gulf stream and the eQua-
torial current. Columbus noted
the abundance of floating weeds
In this region In 1892. In his log
may be found a record of the oc-
currence of the gulf-weed. The
name arises from the fact that the
Spaniards called this region Mar
de Sargazo," sea Of seaweeds.
"Sargazo" being Spanish for sea
weed.
Doctor Beebe cruIsed for a month
In the Sargasso sea and reported
that at only certain seasons does
the weed collect into floating
patches, and that these are soon
scattered by gales. He also saw
thin streamers OF weed, sometimes
a mile or two long, undulatlng over
the ga.
Whether the seaweed p~ropagates
In the open e or drifts In from
the coast Is a disputed question.
Although no seeds or spores are
formed In mld-ocean, 1t is concluded
that the weed propagates at sea by
vegetation for many years, II not
perennially.

Music in the u. S. Army
Started With First War

The first musicians used In the
American army we're the fifers and
drummers Of the Revolutionary
war, according to a writer In the
United States Army Recruiting
News. Led by the ffer-major and
the drummer-major, they furnished
martial music for all military cere-
monies. The drummers also sound
ed the various military "calls"
which now are performed by
buglers.
The earliest available record Of
the forming Of military bands Of
music may be found In the Laws
for the Regulation and Government
of the Militia of the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts," which reads
passed by Act of Congress, May s,
1892, and amended by act Of March
2, 1903, section IA. Be 1t further
enacted that each brigadier general
or commanding officer of brigade,
be authorized. by voluntary enlist
ment, to raise and organize a band
OF music in each brigade and when
so raised to issue warrants to them
accordingly"
Shortly thereafter the West
Point Military academy band was
organized. Louis c. Elson, the his
t~orian, tells us that: early in the
Nineteenth century the West Point
band was held to be the best in the
country" 1t consisted Of FIVE clar.
inets, two flutes, two French horns,

lree Most Beautiful Bridges of 1888 to be Decorated in August In
Insects Used by Savages
as Regular Food Supply

Some insects are highly nutritious
as food for human beings, but they
are appreciated chiefly by savages.
The flavor of the large Black Car
penter ants, which can be scooped
up by the handful, appeals to some.
White grubs are said to make an
excellent salad. The Red Indians
formerly used many kinds of In
sects for food, grasshOppers roast
ed being specially favored. Ac-
cOrding to a writer in the Montreal
Herald, the Indians In the vicinity
of Mono Lake, California, collect
the caterpillar of the Saturmid
moth for food. Waterboatmen and
their eggs are used as food In Mex
leo. The BugOng moth was for
merly an important article of food
with the aborigines of Australia.
The Australian bushmen found that
the clay Of the termite mounds
made a solid meal, and the hill
tribes OF India eat termites them
selves, which have a flavor like oil.
monds.
A few insects have medicinal
properties. Coccids of the genus
Kermes, that live on an oak In the
Mediterranean region yield a medl-
cinal strip. Another Coccid of Mex
leo produces a peculiar substance
known as Akin. This Is used as an
external medicine. The Blister
beetle possesses a bllsterlng prop
erty which is due to the presence OF
Cantharadin in their blood.
Insects are also used for orna.
mentation. Tropical butterflies are
used to make jewelry, pictures, etc.

 He predicted that the proposal would be firmly rejected at Satur- days meeting. He said that bet ter price than that paid last year ten cents pound-would be de- manded.
 The packers, who met last week end to decide on this years price, on the other hand declared today that the reduction was necessary because of losses experienced in the market, described as "stagnant for the past five years.
 Mattson said that there were sev- eral reasons why the price should be higher in 1885. He pointed out that new Federal regulations will cut heavily into the Alaska pack and that Bill 77 in the state of Washington means a 50 per cent cut in the Puget Sound pack and big slash from the Washington side of the Columbia River pack"
 Consequently" Mattson said, with such production drop and better prices in prospect, we expect, and will demand, a better figure than we received last year"
