May 10.—William Jennings Bryan's

ning people from an acceptance of
the Darwinian theory rests with him
seems to weigh heavily. Very re-
cently he crossed swords, so to
speak, with President Birge of the

But Mr. Bryan was not satisfied.
There must be no question about
"nailing" his man and he came back
with these questions, which Dr.
Spangler has declined to answer:
"Are you willing to put in writ-

that you believe that you are the

know the facts. We know that most j thousand for hand-made cigars and
of the present land plants develop n -5 f()). eUars. The
gradually from very simple water | pa(.kftrs will receive a cut of about
plants, those which live in water and
can live nowhere else.
"Interpreting the Bible literally.
as Bryan would have us do. it is easy
to show that these facts in support
of evolution are in harmony with the
Bible. Not only that, but evolution
is the only method by means of
which the Bible accounts for our
numerous land plants today.
"Genesis 7-4: 'For yet seven days,
and I will cause It to rain upon the
earth 40 days and 4' nights, and
every living thing that 1 have made
will I destroy from off the face of
the ground.'
Earth Towered With Water.
"Genesis 7-23: 'And every living
thing was destroyed that was upon
the face of the ground.'
"Genesis 7-24: And the waters
prevailed upon the earth 15" days."
"It is evident, then, that the only-
living plants In existence after the
flood were those which could live in
*ater for more than 150 days. Our
land plants cannot do this. Our sim-
ple water plants that live in the
water all the time and can live no-
where else, of course, were not af-
fected by the flood. Therefore our
complex land plants of today had to
develop from the plants that could
survive the flood. This is in accord-
ance with the facts of evolution and
the facts as set down in the Bihle
for there were no new plants made
after the flood by special act of cre-
ation. but all developed by the proc-
ess of evolution from the simple
water plants.

most Interesting to naturalist?
The plesiosaurs of old seem to have
been exclusively American. At all
events, no bones of theirs have been
found on other continents. They w*re
fish-rating reptiles, attaining a l^nr-h
of 20 feet, with turtle-shaped bodies
flippers like those of a whale and
enormously long necks
They were exceedingly numerous in
a vast Inland sea which anciently ex-
tended all the way from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Arctic Ocean, covering
Texas, New Mexico. Kansas nn-1 o*b®r
Slates toward. Many of their
skeletons are found ln the rocks of
that region sandstone rocks which
represent fluvial deposits on the bot-
tom of the sea in question.
At that early period the Rocky
Mountains did not yet exist, and the
region now occupied by that mighty
chain was a low swampy area with
many sluggish streams and tropical
vegetation. It was the home of many
extraordinary and even monstrous
reptiles, some of th*m (like the
plesiosaurs) of amphibious habit.
When they died. It often happened
that their bodies became buried In
mud. or ln the silt cnrriorl by rivers
to the shallow sea. and thus It comes
about that along the eastern flank of
the Rockies, in Wyoming and else-
where great numbers of their bones
are now dug out of the sedimentary
It Is the discovery of these hones
that has enabled scientists, putting
them together to "reconstruct" the
animals to which they belonged Thus
a* Como Bluff Wyn . prof o C.
Marah found a skeleton of the bronto-
saur (thunder lizard), which wria 70
feet long, stood 16 feet high at the
hips, and weighed in life about twenty
tons.
Ail untie Plant- Feeders
More recently have been hrought to
light the bones of the "diplodocus."
which was even bigger. It la repre-
sented in the Carnegie Museum at
t Pittsburgh by a skeleton eighty-four
feet long. These enormous creatures
must have lived ln the wafer, wading
lazily or floating about while feeding
on the aquatic plants that provided
! their food, for their legs wore not
strong enough to support their mas-
; stve bulk on land.
It was a strange world they lived
In. Numerous In tho great inland
*ea were "mosasaurs," sixty feet long,
which corresponded pretty well to our
modern notion of sea serpents, and
fish-eatIng lizards called "Ichthyo-
«aurs." with eyes a foot In diameter
held in bony cups.
And If one could only have been
there to witness the weird show, one
would have beheld pterodactyls skim-
ming over the surface of the waters
and plunging Into them now and then
to catch a fish Of all th« animals
of that epoch they were perhaps the
most extraordinary. Their enormous
wings somewhat resembled those of
J bats-, a covering membranf being
stretched upon the elongated "Angers"
of what might be called their hands,
as the cover of an umbrella Is ex-
tended on its ribs. A huge bony rresi
at the back of the skull served to
balance the great beak.
The bone* of thla flying lizard were
hollow and papery, and the creator'-
despite Its sise, did not weigh over
twenty pounds. It was built for light-
ness. and Its manner of flight must
have been like the flitting of a moth.
A Puck-Billed Monster
On« of the most remarkable of Its
contemporaries was an amphibious
lizard thirty feet lonw. which had a
bill like that of a duck, and a mouth
furnished with 2.000 teeth arranged
ln rows, about sixty teeth in each row.
Its head was nesrly a yard In length,
and. walking erect on ita three-toed
hind feet, it stood fifteen feet high
The front part of its skull was ex-
panded into a broad beak that was
rnv re,l with a horny sheath, and
which was used for pulling up rushes

The strange animals described In
th'.* story of the past were "dinosaurs"
a name, meaning "terrible lizards."
whi'-h Professor Marsh coined. It is a
name tho proper significance of which
few people understand The dino-
saurs were not merely n specie- not
merely a genus or a family of roptlles.
they were a zoological "order"—as
one might say "hoofed mammals," or
the like.
The hoofed mammals are many;
the dinosaurs were legion. By no
means should It be Imagined that all
of them were monsters. Their species
must have numbered thousands. Some
of them, whose footprints are found
in Connecticut rooks. Just as they left
them millions of years ago, were no
bigger than good-sized dogs. For a
long time these footprints, three toed,
were supposed to be those of birds,
but now It Is known that the lizards
which made them walked kangaroo-
fashion on their hind legs. In the
American Museum of Natural History
(New York City). Is a model of a
"blrd-c«*tehlng dinosaur." no bigger
than a good-sized roostor.
Ferocious Id/orris Of Frey
The hugest lizards were plant-
eaters, like the elephant and hlppo-
tamus of toduy. They wore sluggish
and stupid (as shown by the small
ness of the skull-cavities that held
their brains), and so had no chance
to escape from the Incredibly active
and ferocious reptiles which sought
them as prey. But some of them, like
the brontosaur and dlplodoeus. were
abl« to s®*k refuge In the water, while
others were provided with means of
defense In the shape of Impenetrable
We are more or less acquainted with
the Armadillo, a mammal two or three
feet long native to M*xico and Central
America. It po«se*ses no means of
defense except a coat of armor scalei
that envelops It from h^ad to end of
tall. Thus it was with many of the
huge reptiles of the period here de-
scribed—for example, the "ankylo-
saur,'' whose body was clad with
plates of bone. Even Its eyes were
provided with bony shutters which
could be closed over the eyeballs, so
that all the vulnerable parts of this
animated fortress were protected.
Another herbivorous monster, the
"trlceratops," must have been able to
defend himself stoutly. That he was
often engaged In combat is proved by
broken and healed bones of his species
! that hav® been found, lie was twenty
fe*t long and stood wight feet high ;it
•he hips. His skull measured eight
foot, part of It taking the shape of a
great bony frill which projected ha k-
ward over his neck like a fireman's
helmet. Over oaeh eye was a massive
I nharp-polnted born, dire, ted forward,
I and his nose bore a smaller horn.
Tyrannosaur A Terror
At the time these animals existed
all of that region presented a physical
aspect much like that of the Ever-
, glades of Florida It was covered with
vast swamps, with dry areas here and
there doubtless, and occasional higher
elevations, diversified by wide water-
courses that were constantly shifting
their channels. The climate was warm
and the vegetation luxuriant. In these
modern tlmas we know no carnivorous
animals that approach In sire and
ferocity the flesh-bating lizards of that
distant epoeh Consider, for example
the "tyrannosaur," or tyrant lizard,
which «'as the largest carnivorous
creature that ever lived on land It
, was forty feet long and when It stood
erect on lte hind-legs the top of Its
head was twenty feet above
ground. Its fore-llmbs were remark-
ably small but Its hands were armed
with tremendous claws—used, it is
likely, to tear out the «yes of Its
victims.
A visitor at the Museum of Naturml
History, in New York, may see
i wonderful "group" representing
tyrannosaur feasting upon the remalna
of a slain brontosaur. The skeletons
) only are shown, but they are real ones,
and 30 vivid Is the picture they present
to the eye that one is horrtfled by th«
j spectacle of a monster so huge, so
! fierce, and so formidable.
The great flesh-eating lizards sem
' usually to have walked on their hind-
legs. like kangaroos. They must have
been astonishingly active, and were
• ndoubtedly tremendous leapers. The
tyrannosaur could probably Jump
I thirty yards at a bound: so how could
j any sluggish plant-eating reptile
escape from him" His laws were
four feet long, armed with sharp-
• ointed teeth that projected six lnch«a
; from their sockets!
A Brain To Wag Its Tall
Now and then a prey to the tyran-
! nosaur, perhaps, was the "stegosaur"
- a dangerous beast to tackle, how-
ever. Relatively to it.i alze 'Its luncth
