The Yale geologists who havo been ex ploring the western part ot the country the past summer for specimens have re turned to Peabody museum, bringing with them three tons ot fossils. This la thu first expedition sent out from Yale in fifteen years. u. ,r n R Lull, who Is Yale's authority .v.. - - , on vertebrate puleunthology. and Hugh) Giub, wno lias in.c w , ii, v iviiaim tory work on the apocUnens mounted at the museum, beaded the expedition that loft New Haven for Lusk. Wyo.. on June 12. The first Yale geological camp u est no, lulled- st Spanish Diggings, in Laramie county, near Laramlo Peak, where the sur rounding country U rich in Indian relics. According to the geologists, it a as in this region that tha predecessors of the mxlernj Sioux Indians roamed In prehistoric times, the remains of their populous villages being found in the form of circles of stones by means of which tbe skin coverings of their tepees or lodges were kept In position. Stone implements us-d in those times are abundant there and after two days' pros pecting the Yale scientists collected some SoO -cf these specimens. .As the Yale party was primarily In search of vertebrate fossils, the Yale camp was soon removed to the valley of the Big Muddy creek. In the sandstone of which are to be found the boms of the ancient plains-dwelling animals, mainly camels, rhlnox-eroses and oreodor.ts, the last being a species of hoofed creatures possessing certain characteristics of the ruminants and the pigs, which have no present day relatives. Camps were also established beeide the Niobrara river, upon the Cook ranch, through whose courtesy tlie Yale explorers were permitted to dig for fossils In the Agute ailing quarries, which contain the most remarkable assemblage of fossil bones thus far discovered in the world. Here the Yale geologists unearthed skeletons ot two or more very young twin-born rhinoceros, one of which will probably be mounted and placed In the Peabody museum, besides numerous bones ot moropus. a form allied to the odd-toed ungulates, and remains of the dinohyus, a giant pig standing six feet, next in sise to the elephants. The "Devil's Corkscrew" was one of the interesting finds of the Yale InvesUgators, two very fine specimens of this fossil plant being brought back to the museum by thero. This is described as a fossil plant, or filled-in burrow of a primitive rodent, a progenitor of the up-to-date beaver. ' Several specimens of a primitive camel about the slse of a sheep was also, secured through the courtesy of Prof. F. B. Loomia of Amherst, who directed the Yale explor ers lo a spot somewhat removed from tho famous agate quarries, where skeletons of a part of a herd had been unearthed. While these two Yals professors were gathering specimens of vertebrate fossils. Prof. Charles Schuchert, curator of the Peabody museum, was likewise prospecting for Invertebrate fossils at the island of Anticostl, In the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From there Prof. Schuchert during th.j summer gathered more than 1,000 pounds et fossils, which will be placed also In the museum collection. The museum also re ceived as the result of a summer's work of one of the students. V. H. Twenhefel, '08, nine boxes of specimens from the Arlsaig coast of Nova Scotia. Theae are Illustrations of the marine life of Silurian time in the St. Lawrence region. When the new specimens collected this year have been assorted, registered and placed on exhibition, YaJo will have a big display as a result of the first summer spent in research since the days of the late Prof. Marsh, who contributed tons of fossils to the museum. Another addition to the collection has lust been presented to the museum. This is the skull of an Inca, whu lived In the second era of Peruvian lvlllzatlon. The skull was un earthed In a burialplot that had not been In use for more than 400 years by William Pratt of Morlden, while traveling through Peru more than fifty years ago New York Herald. "BAD MEN" WITH NERVES Klnrh West Johnson Kullr Startled ad Blood Mad Frisk Jasaes Falat. The world la not so very small after all. The other day I glanced casually over the register of a hotel and read the name 'Kinch West Johnson." It may be that I waa the only man In New York outside the person who signed the register that would have taken an Interest In the signature, and yet Klnch West was on the point of putting my light out once. He was an In dian territory character in the early '70s, and stopped a night with me when I was a boy and living under the parental roof. and he Interested me greatly by telling me of his adventures In the southwest. Five years later I was riding on a rail way train . approaching Dennlson, Tex., and I saw him. Being young and foolish, 1 hit him on the back and said: "Hello, Mr. West! I'm glad to see you." Say, Klnch's I smoke wagons were all over me in a min ute. Until he recognised me he scowled, and after that he laughed heartily. At Den nlson he wrung my hand and aald: "Good by, boy and don't say anything about my being here." Naturally, I hunted up Klnch West John son, and what do you suppose he was? A drummer. A mild-mannered boy, who was glad to acknowledge that the' redoubtable Klnch West was his grandfather. And he confessed to me that he had never owned a gun In his life. One story of this kind leads to another. I recalled Frank James almost aa soon as I had listened to young Johnson's story of how little use he hsd for a gun. About fourteen years ago I happened lo be present at th fair grounds In St. Louis when Frsnk James, along with a number of others, was vaccinated In obedience to the law. Frank fainted as soon aa the knife went Into his flesh. I ought not have looked," he ex plained to me. "I never could bear tho sight of blood."

Aa l ucerlatu Speculation. "Jane has a cauhtic tongue. I asked her the other day wny she didn't marry somu old man for his money." "What did she say?" "She said the increase in the duration of human life and the depression in storks made the speculation too uncertain. But she added that she would mairy a rich old man under one condition." "What was that?" "He must be a rhronio aaroplunlst." Cleveland Plain, Dealer.
