tional museum at Washington, just as
It waa found and dug out of the sand
stone rock. Near at hand Is a natural j
size and very lifelike restoration In papier-mache,
so weird and monstrous In
ppearance as to give one the horrors.
Back In the very early days of the
world this armor-plated Uzard-like mon
ster dwelt In the western part of the
t'nlted Btatea In what Is now the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains, although
at that time the mountains did not exist.
Ho roamed about In the marsh and swamp
lands of that region, feeding on the trop
ical grasses and plants, the fossil re
mains of which are found burled with
his skeleton. The specimen mentioned
above comes from Quarry No. 1 in Fre
mont county, near Canyon City, Colo.,
where it was found by Mr. M. P. Felch
In 1886. Brief articles concerning it were
written from time to time, but it was not
assembled and mounted until two years
ago, and never completely described until
recently. ' With the exception of the re
moval of some of the sandstone which
surrounds this valuable specimen It has
been left in the position In which It was
discovered, so that the relation of the
various bones and skin armor may be
een and studied by scientists. In order
that' the lower side of the skeleton and
the back plates may be seen, two mirrors
have been placed beneath it in such a
manner as to reflect the exact structure
and location of the various bones.
The undisturbed position of the bones,
and the surrounding sandstone Indica'aV
that' this monster died In the water, or
on the bank of a stream, and from some
natural cause. It Is possible that the
carcass floated down the stream, as the
arrangement of the different bones and
spine plates Indicate a gradual washing
and tipping over, rather than the crush
ing action of a heavy force. The skeleton
Is quite complete and lies partly on Its
aide and back, with nearly all the bones
In their relative positions, rendering It of
infinite value t scientists for study and
ati a reference type;
lVlneteea Feet Loni,
In life this peculiar reptile of such gi
gantic proportions must have presented a
forbidding appearance; it measures about
nineteen feet In length, was evidently
over eleven feet In height at the hips and
was covered with a very tough and homy
acale-like skin, studded here and there
with bony buttons or knobs of armor.
Along its back were arranged great sharp
edged plates set alternately and project
ing upward like the teeth of a huge saw.
This odd armorplate extended from the
small wedge-shaped reptilian head all the
way back and well down the tapering
Uzard-like tail, which was tipped with
four long sharp spines. Its legs were
not unlike those of a lizard or other .rep
tile, except that the fore legs were rather
short 'and much -weaker than the hind
ones, an indication that the great animal
could alt up like a kangaroo, and per.
haps descended from a hlpedal ancestor.
From a study of its teeth it has been de
termined that this prehistoric beast was
a plant eater, as is suggested by . Its
habitat. Further investigation of Its
head, which Is so small as to be quite
out of proportion to Its massive body,
reveals the fact that It had scarcely any
brain. Although the body of the stego
saurua is supposed to have weighed more
than that of an elephant, the brain of
the latter is fifty times aa heavy, which
fact offers an excuse for the Immense
amount of defensive armor with which
It was equipped, making it practicallv
Impregnable as far aa its enemies were
concerned, provided it had any. Its bones
alone weigh nearly a ton, and it has been

sistant curator of fossil reptllos, has Just

tional museum in the form of a bulletin,

tional Institutions.
over there. To quote him:
"I have seen how women must bear the
i burden of war. I think in all representa
tive governments women should have
a voice in determining whether there shall
txi war. This talk of the enfranchisement
of women preventing war Is all folly.
Women help to make war. I mean that
nc country could go to war with true
fighting spirit If the women of that coun
try were not behind the men in the ar
mies; it Is inevitable; It Is the Instinctive
need of men.
"There are two things that havo fos
tered war through history." Cobb claims.
"one Is belief that war Is a benefit to
nations, to commerce; the other is the
Idea that war Is picturesque and heroic.
The popular conception of war Is In
amusing contrast to the reality. The man
who goes to fight pictures splendidly uni
formed cavalrymen in a charge, where
nobody Is killed, over nicely rolled green
fields; he Imagines a lovely woman, a
combination of Grace Darling and Flor
ence Nightingale, bending over a bed
where lies a James K. Ilackett with a
red bandage around his head. Real war
as we have It today Is not a bit like that.
Cavalrymen do not charge; men covered
with mud stand in trenches shooting at

rHB MANAGEMENT of the
Mendelssohn Choir Is rejoic
ing over the fact that an ar
rangement has been entered
into, whereby Omaha will hear
the famous American basso.
Herbert Witherspoon. He will sing tn
the series of spring concerts by the
Mendelssohn choir of Omaha, Thomas M.
Kelly, conductor, and the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra, Frederick Stock conduc
tor. Herbert Witherspoon is undoubtedly
one of the greatest of all the American
singers andi his time lias been in such
demand In the east, and at such prices,
that he has never been heard in Omaha,
even in recital. Like John McCormack, he
a popular favorite among lovora of
the phonograph and vlctrola and his
records have made hltn famous where he
has not been actually heard in person.
The Mendelssohn choir had an option
on two other baas soloslts, but succeeded
in landing VTltherspoon.
They tried very hard to get him two
seasons ago.
Frits Krelsler, the eminent Austrian
violinist, who will be heard at the Bran
dies theater on Sunday afternoon, March
14, has long been recognised by two
continents and as an eastern critic has
Just said, "When Krelsler tucks Ma fid
dle under his chin. It Is a solemn rever
ence before the altar of muslo and the
occasion la made memorable. '
Krelsler la a very recent hero of the
present European war. In fact, did ac
tive service as first lieutenant In the
Austrian army until receiving a severe
wound, which confined htm to the hos
pital for many weeks and finally secured
his release from service. It is said a
slight lump still keeps their memory of
this experience.
Krelsler Is a vivid illustration of the
exacting demands which music of today
makes on those who practloe the art
that they shall not bo merely musicians,
but well balanced, well rounded men of
the world. The mental stimulus, which
comes from experience and study has led
him far afield from the ways of the
conventional violinist. His first tour of
America waa made as a "child wonder."
This waa followed by an engrossing study
of medicine, a year's training; In a school
for officers of the Austrian army and
and ambition o be a painter. Brilliant
success awaited him in all these pur
suits, but muslo finally claimed him as
Its own. Experience had deepened his
nature and ripened his Judgment, and
the dazzling technique of former days
became a means, and Ktelsler was re
vealed as an Interpretative artist of su
premo authority. A master interpreter
