Grant St. n 't HE most recently stalled exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History is the skeleton of theDeinodon a or Terrible-Tootanimal which, if he were alive today, would be about the most formidable enemy that a man could meet. And Deinodon was swift and active, built for speed as well as power. OTie could neither dodge him nor outrun him, and the average man would be just about the size of prey that he would consider suitable for a meal. The skeleton stands 11 feet, 5 inches high about twice the height of a man. The length from nose to tip of tail is 20 feet, and for all his slim and elegant proportions he probably weighed in life several times as much as any lion or tiger. Dr. W. D. Matthew, curator of the museums department of vertebrate paleontology, says that, fortunately for us, perhaps, the Deinodon was not one of the beasts our prehistoric ancestors had to contend with.

But the chief inhabitants were dinosaurs, the lords of the swamp and forest, great reptiles of strange and varied form. The majority of them were herbivorous browsing or grazing creatures corresponding to the hoofed animals of the modern world. Of these there were chief kinds : the Horned Dinosaurs, big rhinoceros like quadrupeds ; the Armored Dinosaurs, covered with great bony plates from head to tail, and the Dinosaurs, which walked or ran upon the hind legs and had no horns or armor, but were excellent swimmers. Then there were various kinds of carnivorous dinosaurs which preyed upon their vegetarian relatives. All these were t bipeds, using their only to seize and tear their prey, and their long tail to balance the body in running. Some of these were huge and powerful, others quite small and speedy. It is only In recent years, and through the explorations of such rich fossil fields as those of the Red Deer river that we have come to know much about this world of the Dinosaurs and to realize what it was. like. There is very little in the text books about these recent discoveries. Many of them have not yet been published. But the visitor at the Dinosaur hall of the American museum of natural history can see there a surprising number and variety of these bizarre and formidable beast, and will see many more as the explorations and exhibition work of the museum continue. The museum has also just placed on exhibition a skeleton of the great toothless flying reptile pteranodon, an extinct creature of the class known as pterodactyls which flourished in the age of reptiles, many millions of years ago. The remains were found by Handel T. Martin, curator of the geological museum of Kansas university. It Is believed to be the only mounted specimen of pteranodon In any Amer-leamuseum. The British museum also has a mounted skeleton of a specimen found by Mr. Martin several years ago. Dr. W. D. Matthew, curator of the sea-repti- le long-legge- d Duck-bille- d fore-fee- . n museum department of vertebrate paleontology, gives some interesting Information concerning the pterodactyl. He says: From the standpoint of dimensions it ranks as the largest flying creature that has ever lived. The skeleton just mounted measures to wing-tip- , sixteen feet from wing-tiand would have a stretch of nearly twenty-onfeet if the wings were puli' ed out straight. It is nearly all wings and bead, with a little bit of a body, slender hind legs and a mere stump of a tall head consists chiefly of a long, pointed beak and an equally long, bony crest projecting backward. The wings were long and narrow and composed of thin, leathery membrane like the wings of bats.;; But they were stretched on the long extended fourth finger only, the other fingers being little rudimentary claws, by which the animal probably hung when at rest. The wings were evidently adapted to soaring flight like that of the albatross. In fact, the creature was so extremely specialized along this line that it must have been singularly awkward and ungainly on the ground. Yet it must have come to land at times for purposes. How it obtained its food is something g of a problem. It was evidently a ocean flyer, for the skeletons are found in chalk and other marine formations deposited in the- open sea often far from land. The specimen just placed on exhibition, together with other fine specimens, was obtained from the cretaceous chalk beds of the Smoky Hill river of Western Kansas. - In the life of the pteranodon this was part of a great inland sea that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico far across the Canadian border. The nearest shore line was more than 140 miles to the southeast. Westwardly the sea stretched across the region where the Rocky mountains were later upheaved to a yet more distant shore. Over this vast Interior sea, deep and clear and abounding In marine life, the pterodactyl must have ranged. A careful Investigation of the problem In the light of modern aeronautical knowledge would yield very interesting results. And, in turn, it seems altogether probable that such a research would throw some light on the more practical problems of aeronautics. For the pterodactyl. In so far as we can Judge, approached much nearer to the airplane in structure and principle of flight than any of the birds. As the most specialized and perfected adaptation for soaring that has been known, It may throw much light on the principles of soaring flight, which are by no means yet fully understood or agreed on. ; . p e ATOM (Tor y6ur '-he Freckles, wrinkles, scars; euperf. hair, smalremoved; crooked noses straightened.
