The big fish swallowed the smaller one (which incidentally be longed to the same family) whole, found hir sluttony too much for him, sank to the bottom and died Throughout the aeons the two skele- tons were covered with the remains of minute sea ms, forming chalk, and later with mud and sand tn a depth of 7,000 feet. In the course of geological proces: of and eroslon the fossilized skeletons came again near the surface of the earth and were discovered in Kansas by a modern scientist, from whom the Smithsonian obtained them for exhi bition at Philadelphia.

The Bighorn is one of the tribe of true wild sheep, which are distributed over western North Am- erica, through central and eustern Asia, and on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. Three of the speci-| mens at Philadelphia weve collected by Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary | of the Smithsonian Institute, in Al- berta, Canada. Gems and precious stones found in | America and the minerals from which they come form a part of the insti- tution’s geological exhibit. The proc- esses by which rock s weathered to form soils is also pictured. Fossils 500,000,000 Years Old. " Besides the glant fossil fish with- n a fossil fish, the life of unknown millions of years ago is represented by several turtles. one of which measures 4 by & feet, and by a swim- ming reptile about 16 feet in length. Fossil plants from the coal measures of Pennsylvania help to show how coal was formed. Finally, the visitor may see fossil seaweeds which repre- sent the earliest known forms of life. Probably more than 500,000,000 years d since the weeds repre- sented by these fossils grew. The development of the art of pho- tography from the days of the first édaguerreotype machine is portrayed as part of the graphic arts exhibit, which also Hlustrates drawing, etch- ing, intaglio engraving and other forms of graphlc expressaion. Interest in American history should . be stimulated by the series of uni- forms, Insignia, small arms, medals and decorations showing the various es of such objects used by the United States Army during the period 1776-1926' The historical exhibit con- tains also models of the ships of C Jumbus, of the Mayflower and of the Constitution. Exhibit of Ships. Ships occupy a prominent place, as | well. in the exhibit of the division of mechanical technology of the - tional museum. Models of the earlies steamboats built in the united States, including the Phoenlx, which was the first steamship to make an ocean voyage, are shown side by side with models of the development of the steam engine. Models of James Watt's inventions are operated by compressed air and electricity. The possible results in long weather forecasting which m: s from the studies of the sun's heat now being made by the astrophysical ob- servatory of the Smithsonfan Institu- tion give speclal interest to the ex- hibit of instruments by which the sun’'s heat is measured. They include the bolometer, so sensitive that it will measure a change of one-millionth of a degree centigrade. The pyrhelio- meter measures the heat rectived from the sun on the earth, while the bolometer, pyranometer and melikeron measure the losses in transit through the earth’s atmosphere. The pyrano- meter, which measures sky trans- parency, will be in working order so that visitors may see it in operation. The Smithsonian exhibit is com- pleted by a full set of its publications and of those of its administrative de- partments. Co-operation in expositions is no new thing for the Smithsonian Institution, for in the last 30 years the institution “has taken part in 33 expositions in this country and abroad, and it had also sent exhibits to previous expo. sitions. »fusion of curious things | « Sesquicenten- | elevation ' (vicentennial to | lay- | its work or that | the Smitheoniin, the ! man | ham | | Upper: These yo t front of the Capitol tomorrow.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 3.—What will the 250,000 American visitors who are ex- pected this vear in England enjoy most? This question was propounded by the Assoclated Press to a number of tourist agents and hotel men. “Royalty and its trappings,” was the unhesitating answer of many of the Americans and Englishmen who have to do with the tourist traffic. King and queens and princes and palaces have greater fascination for Americans than for Continental vis- Itors. The latter, so the tourist agents ay, have had greater experience of ovalty and accept it as course. Red-Coated Guards. The changing. of the red-coated guards before Buckingham Palace at 10:30 every morning ak s attracts many strangers, and the changing of the guard at Whitehall every morn- ing at 11 o'clock draws even a greater crowd. London Tower, with its murderous history; Hampton Court and other palaces associated with the life of Henry VIIT and his unhappy wives, have a special charm for American | visitors. Even the men and women who are but slightly versed in English history know about Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon and the other unhappy ladies who sat on the throne with him. Museums, galleries and theaters which enable visitors to get back into | the atmosphere of the Elizabethan era are most popular, especia with vis. itors coming to England for the fi time. Shakespeare and L inseparably connected with the reign of Queen Elizabeth that they share the popularity of the virgin queen in the estimation of touri: The Old Vie, with its never-ending |season of Shakespeare, and the Shakespearian Theater at Stratford afford visitors an opportunit the plays of the Bard of Avon in case the theaters in the heart of London are not offering Shakespeare. Warwick Castle Attracts. Tallyhos and old inns—in fact, any- thing which reproduces the atmos- phere of old English prints—have a great attraction for American visitors. Warwick Castle, so the tourist agents say, comes nearer, perhaps, than any other to filling the eye of Americans in search of a real castle, with walls and moats and drawbridges and ar- mor and a banquet hall in which the Knights of the Round Table might be sitting. There is a considerable Dickens cult among the American visitors, and many of them are eager to visit the home of Burns and the haunts of Wordsworth and other poets in the English lake district. University folk generally want ‘to visit Oxford and Cambridge. But the majority of American vis- itors give most of their time to Lon- don and points within easy reach of the British capital. matter of | to see | ECoolidge to Mark | His 54th Birthday Quietly at Home President Coolidge will celebrate s fifty-fourth birthday toda Coolidge, John Coolidge, the on, and the President | I gather this afternoon | at a simple birthday dinner at the White House, marking the fifty fourth anniversary of the birth of Mr. Coolidge on Independence day in the mountains of Vermont.

LONDON, July 3 .(P)—Tobacco pipes, new and ¢ld, cheap and expen- sive, of every conceivable design and varlety, have been showered upon Stanley Baldwin, the prime minister, in such numbers that it has become a problem at No. 10 Downing street as to what is to be done with them. The prime minister easily is the best advertised pipe smoker on this side of the Atlantic, I‘! not in the world.

Soft Music Uneffective. Soft, soothing music was played on a_gramaphone without any particular effect upon the natives, but the rhythm of jazz caught thelr ears every time and gained for the scientist almost anything that he might desire which the chiefs had the power of granting. These natives, Dr. McGovern con- cluded, are first cousins of the North American Indians. with a mixture of the Mongolian thrown in. Among some of the tribes Dr. Mc Govern found overcrowding even worse than it is in New York, Chi- cago or London, regardless of the t that there are thousands of square miles of land almost uninhabited.
