I t r G J. J 1 L Carnegie This skeleton was discovered in Iowa more than twenty ye years rs ago ngo in a remarkable state of preservation The immense work of reassembling reassembling re re- re- re assembling the tho skeleton was carried on by Dr William J. J J. J Holland director of the Carnegie Institute In who is now su superintending P the unearthing of the big Utah skeleton Discovery Was Kept Secret r When the tIle discovery n of the dinosaurs dinosaur's bones was made the news was not made public Instead scientists working under the direction of Dr Holland Holland Hol Hol- land proceeded to the place and quietly began their arrangements for excavating the entire skeleton They were quickly interrupted by tho the appearance appearance of a claimant to the land He was wa a n prospector and farmer without the thc slightest l interest interest in- in terest in dinosaurs or any other specimens of ot prehistoric animals He ordered the scientists to get off his land The matter was taken up at once with the government authorities at nt Wash Wash- ington Secretary Lane laid the case before the President So important did lid President Wilson Vilson consider the he research work that he directed that the area containing the prehistoric rem remains ns shouP be set aside for the present at least as asa a Na Na- 1 I Dinosaur Monument The work of excavating excavating ing lag the skeleton was resumed The first scattered remains of an animal of this general species were discovered as early as 1577 1377 near Carson City Colorado In 1884 the head vertebrates and pelvis of the same or a similar similar sim sim- sim ilar iJar skeleton were discovered The reconstructed skeleton is in the National Museum in Washing Washing- ton In 1897 the next important discovery was made when the tail bones and other bone fragments frag ments were unearthed at Como Bluffs Wyoming This his skeleton now occupies a place of honor in inthe inthe inthe the National Nation l History Museum in New York The most familiar of these skeletons was discovered discovered dis covered il in Wyoming in 1900 There were in fact two skeletons or the greater part of them These two g giants stand side by side in the Car Carnegie b 1 Museum in Pittsburgh A replica of one of these has been presented to the British Museum The Tha future home of the great giant which eclipses all aU others of its kind has not ye yet been selected l r V tJ 1 f c l' l N J yV f y a L WW js' js c r r. r nI p I t d r J r 1 Ir It is s not generally known that this species species species- gains guns its name of diplodocus from the fact that its tail was double beamed The tail was error long and heavy and dragged upon the ground The double beam or bar was vas a peculiar I 3 formation of the bones of the skeleton which P pr PM- PM the artery or veins Without some such ar arrangement the friction of dragging this great weight along the ground would have endangered endangered red I the artery Incidentally the huge animal had no means of protecting its tail from the attacks of r smaller and more agile enemies which were in thel habit of biting it in comparative safety from at tack The head of the dinosaur meanwhile would be half a city block or more away The dinosaur was a giant lizard with a prodigiously long tail The backbones of these animals coat contained wined vertebrae some sonic 73 of which were were in the tail alone The skeleton is is 3 a marvellous piece of construction offering at the the same time great strength with comparative lightness Tb The skin was probably scaly and covered with hard ened skin similar to the crocodile It is believed that the dinosaur was hatched from an egg E Extinction of the Dinosaur r It is impossible of course to tell teU just when these monsters roamed the earth but the distance distan e in time from our own period could probably bt bed bej measured by br millions of years The dinosaur hadon had 3 remarkable distinction among all other ani animals ani ani- on one c m mals als which have lived on this p planet It is be berj b. e. e f lieu ed that his bis species lasted longer than app ny other form orm of or now extinct animal Millions of years probably elapsed from the time he first appeared the earth until h he became extinct It is not j on known of course just how he was wiped out so completely for at one time there may have been beeD many of them scattered over the earth One theory to account for the their their it destruction is s that some same ani animal 1 appeared which fed upon their eggs egi and t thus hug g gradually obliterated the species The dinosaur must have appeared in almost endless variety The earliest earlest fossils have ha b been n found in Germany but this does docs not mean that they were of German origin The skeletons or 01 fossil remains have been discovered in in North and andr South America Europe Africa Madagascar Au Ans 1 I IA A and India The giants waded or swam but their movements must have been very cumber 1 some and slow Their teeth were spoon or pencil shaped hoped indicating that they fed on vegetables There are many indications that they also at ate meat or at least that they fought and devoured one another A battle between two or more of f these creatures each nearly a 1 city block in is length must pave have been spectacle y The Age of the Dinosaur There is wide difference or opinion a aa as to th thi period when these monsters enjoyed the distinction dij- dij of being the largest and most powerful animals on the planet The estimates vary from froth to years cars The age age of md maw na becomes an nn infinitesimal fraction by comparison Some authorities believe that the first which succeeded in leaving any signs of their existence behind them probably lived years ago There was was was' animal life upon the tb planet however much earlier possibly years before this When we Ve stand in the p pence pi pr prence ence of one of these skeletons such as is b bei unearthed in Utah our measure of time become confused and we feel extremely modern in com eom comparison parison with this biggest animal that ever lit Ii r 10 y u f fr f f w Ii Lj t 1 I I i f. f b h F t. t I J w. w r 4 I.
