As the hadrosaurus looked in life.
By GARRETT P. 8ERVI6S. '
Bomatlmea when I am minded to go
bade of tha traditional time of Adam
and back, even, of th gnotogloal ape
tnan'l time, I take a walk through th
lnoaaoc hall In the American Museum of
Natural History and look upon the bonea,
skeletons, reproduction! and restorations
or animals which, according to offloial
scientific Information, "lived from 3.000,000
t 10,000,000 years ago. These dates are
probably better established than any per
taining to early Egyptian or Meaopota
nlaa history, which pretend to go baok
only (.000 or COOO years.
I pass, wandenfia. among the
forms of brontoaaurs, alloaaurs, :
tyrannosaurs, hadroeaura, lgaunidons and
trachodona, soma of which could have
pot their dreadful heads through second
or third story windows as easily as a
horse feeds from th hay-rack orsr Its
manger. I reflect upon tha marvelous
preservative qualities which have kept
those ancient bonss Intact during such
vast ages and lapsas of tun. If th
evidence were not plain before our ye
w would refuse to believ that things
to b possible.
Hosts of these stupendous monsters.
In physical comparison with which a
nan is hardly more than an Insect
that their feet would crush, are repre
sented In tha great mu.eum only by
disjointed and scattered ribs, vertebrae,
thighs. Jaws and teeth, out scieno is
able to pot thss together and to
supply th missing parts, Idealy, as, for
instance, in Mr, Knight's reproduction
of the hadrosaurus, photographed on thla
page.. ,
The hadroeauru was a cousin of th
tree hod on. or duck-billed dinosaur, twe
mounted skeletons ef which are to be
eea In the hall of the dinosaurs. They
are about thirty feet long and fifteen
feet tall. Their Unmans broad, flat
tills Indicate that, notwithstanding their
slse. they are', probably peaceable cro-
tures, which inhabited swampy plaoea.
as their groat spread of toes also lndl
eates, and lived mainly upon what they
could scoop up from' the mud and water,
Including shell-flsh and plants.
Thsr Is alio to be seen In the m i
seum a mummy of one of theae crea
tures a mumrry millions of year old,
preserved by nature heraetf. Tha actual
texture of. the skin oi thla ancient
"terror-taea'." fur that la the signifi
cance of tbo word dlnocaur) I. preserved
there.
"The nnlr.ud is lyir.c u Us back,''
say an accompanying description, "and

In spite of Its crushed oondltlon, Its form
Is easily distinguishable. It probably
died on a sand bank, or near' a ahoul.jl
wuor. me nut winus arica up wo 114114
until the skin adhered to th bones like
a close-fitting glove, and was subse
quently burled by a food."
And that occurred poaalbly 10,0X1,000
years ago! The sand banka, the hot aun
hlne, the gleaming water, filled with
swarming Ufa, the air humming with In
sects, the oleuds, the rains ell those

world.
It la well to have before us unques
tionable proof that th earth had a his
tory before man appeared upon It. If
It can b ahown that th age of th great
reptiles was a preparatory step to ths
human age, well and good. But. If 1.
was not. It had Its own sufficient reason
for being. These monsters may have been
aa interesting and Important In the yes
of their creator as we suppose ourselves
to ba.
Nature was as kind to them as sh?
is to us, and showed them an equally

Imitation man and all imitation are poor
Muff. Hven her aucees along maacu-
ltnn I'nea are but the auccwase of th
darning dog not that aha succeeds 00
well, but that ahe aucceetls at all.
Of courae,' we read In the papers ac
counts of women who have don all
sorts of things lady longahoreamen and
lady a:oeVJacks, and lady pilots, and
bronco buatcr qjeens, and ao on, but
there Is probably not one of these women
whose exploits have not been equaled
by some perfectly ordinary man, who
wasn't even considered a headltner In
his trade. Assuredly there Is not one of
the.o women who, if she'd put an equal
amount of time and atreiiRth and punch
In some femanine line of work would
not have reaped a thousand times bet
ter reward.
The fine arts, music and sculpture and
painting, and acting, and writing, are.
of course, a "no nmn's land," In which
there la nCae. but even In thea women
are moat successful when they stick
closest to their own sphere.
The world wUl remember Barah Bern
hardt fur her Camilla , and not her
L'Alglon, and Maude Adama for her
lady Babble 'and not her ChanUcleer.
We want our women singers to sing con
tralto and soprano and not baaa and
baritone, and women writers are more
Intereetlng and convincing when they con
fine themaelvea to Interpreting tha mys
teries of women's heart and the feminine
paychology than they are when they at
tempt to write like men and make
guesses at what men think and feeL
The woman who electa to follow th
arts does best when she sticks to her
petticoats, when she palnta or wrltea, or
acta from the woman's point cf view,
and thus caplta'lses har sx and her
knowledge, because In so doing she gives
to the world something that la tru and
ltal. and new. for women are Just be
ginning to expresa themaelvea and th
world is curious to know th scrt
that have been so lonk looked up in
women's souls.
In business It Is even more important
that a woman should work her own aid
of the u'nM't, Instead of crossing over
snd cntc.i t into competition with men.
Bo much of the best paid work In th
world la eemntlAlly feminine that a wo
man is throwing away her Inherl'nnoe

Take a knowledge of color 1 of
fabrlca, for Instance. It takes years of
study and cultivation to tell the dif
ference between th pastel shades of
pink and lavender, and between ohar
meuse and crepe de china, but any girl
child can do it with th bat of an ';
and th twist of a finger. Tet me c'' . ;

, There are fortunes to ' bo made In
millinery, In dreaamaklng,- In schools. In
keeping bo- rdlng honaes and hotel, and
women should monopolise thes profes
sions because they belong to her heredi
tary calling of home making and rear
ing the young. They are woman' aacred
sphere. Hhe has allowed man to Invade
It and take away th capital prises, but
It's up to ber to recapture her own
again.
Therefor I advise every girl who Is
confronting th problem of earning her
own bread and butter to eapitalls har
sex, and to choose an occupation In
which the mere fact of her being a
woman will give her an advantage over
her male competitors. Remember sax

In business, and th wis woman I ahe
who make It an asset Instead of a
handicap.
Nor need any git. feel that har op--ortunltle
ar circumscribed by confln-
ag her aottritles to woman' work. Let
her not forgot that women have th
spending of most of th money of th
world. Furthermore th things that
woman should purvey, board and lodg
ing, and food, and clothes, and frip
peries, ar th things for which money
la most freely paid.
The girl who choose millinery or
dressmaking as a trad and starts out
to be an artist In her line, or th girl
who ehoots to make of herislf a ehof,
or a boarding house keeper ' with an
ambition to rise to th top of har pro
fession, Is as sure of eueeeaa aa any
thing human can ba. Oh capitalise
har x, and cashes In her Inherited
knowledge of sewing or cooking that has
00m down to her from ber woman ancestors.
