Dr. Walcott has sembled at the National Museum here the finest collection of Cambrian fos sils in existence. Every Summer he collects and identifies more of these. Last Winter when Dr. Kock was in Washington he arranged to have Dr. Christian Poulsen of the Mineralogical Museum of Denmark bring the speci. mens here to study Poulsen has een engaged in this work nearly a month and has about completed the o fossils wr Prove Climate Mild. he fossils consist of extinct forms of life—queer creatures which crawled on the primeval ocean bottoms, such trilobites, brahciopods and primi tive worms. Checked with Dr. Wal 's” collection, these reveal that thern Greenland must have been under the same ocean as portions of | Eritish Columbia and eastern North America from the St. Lawrence to York, Pa. The same forms of. life, requiring the same eclim: nd a mild climate at that—existed from the W Arctic region southward to Penn. sylvania. The_collections of fossils made Dr. Kock had to be carried by isled for more than 600 miles across the edge of the Greenland icecap. At one time the sled with the fossils and the doss fell into a 30-foot crevasse. On one of their expeditions into the interior Dr. Kock and his men were forced to kill their dogs and eat them. Few scientlfic expeditions have been |made at such risk to life and limb as those now temporarily at the New National Museum. The broken pieces of rock, because of their sclentific value and cost in effort, are con- sidered worth much more than their weight in gold. The value of the collections and the deductions therefrom is increased by the fact that Macmillan has been denied by the Danish government the right to make extensive exporations, includin, ns in Greenland where Dr. Kock’s extensive researches have been conducted.

Jesse Pomeroy, the most famous “lifer” in all America, has written a really graphic poem on the #ying machine. Although 20 years of his time has Dbeen spent in solitary confinement, Pomeroy does not feel that the world has passed him by. His “solitary” was done rs ago, when he wa young and rebellious and fought and broke all the prison rules. For the | last two decades Jesse has been what they always eall the model prisoner. | Sues Boston Woman. ! That why he has entered suit for libel against a Koston woman who wrote a letter to a newspaper claiming that Pomeroy had skinned little kitten placed in his cell. | Pomeroy feels this letter has preju- | diced the public against him again | and ruined his chances for parole or perhaps for yea to come.

Vhen Pomeroy was charged he had murde old boy, found with hi and 15 stab wounds in his Three years later Pomeroy was con- victed and sentenced to be hanged.

There is further explana- tion of the libel action in the fact that | Pomeroy has come to consider himself an able lawyer. He has read and stud- | ied law for vears, giving especial at- tention, of course, to murder trials. Not many years ago he prepared what was pronounced a very able brief on his case and tried to get permission to wrgue it before the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. He was de- nied the request, as he has been denied every request looking to his liberty. Student of Languages. Pomeroy has studied languages and is proficient in at least four. Per- haps he hopes to do a little world travel before his daye are ended. e also has studied chemistry and is well read in history.

Modern inventions interest Pomeroy hugely. The picture papers and magazines are his hobby.
