O, GLMOREFDS TONS O FOSSLS Unearths, in Rockies, Bones of Strange Animals of 60,000,000 Years Ago. Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, Smithsonian turned from one of the most fruitful fossil hunts ever staged by the local| n the Rocky Mountain foothills dur- ing the Summer he recovered bones of | scores of strange animals that dwelt | there approximately 60,000,000 vears | ago—thus filling a big gap in National Museum fossil collections. Some of thesc creatures must have roamed over this area in enormous herds, judging from the abundance of fossils. Notable among them were the three-toed horses. Mr. Gilmore secured parts of 35 skeletons and at least two fully articulated specimens. He also found 10 skulls and several ariiculated specimens of encient camels, creatures which stood from two to three feet high and which apparently were extremely abundant. Finds Hugs Pig's Skulls. Of special intercst werce five skulls of Archaeotnerium, an_enormous creature of the pig fami It was considerably lorger than eny living pig, althcugh cven more gigantic creatures of the | same race were found in the succeeding geological period. The skull of this creature was approximate foot and a half long and it had enormeus tceth. It appears to have been one of the deminant animals of the age. Mr. Gilmore also obtained 11 skulls and one partial skeleton of the cele- brated saber-toothed cat of the Oli- gocene age The saber teeth of these specimens are about 6 inches long and the skeleton shows a creature about the size of a huge lion. It was un- doubtedly the most terrible animal of the ancient world and, judging from the great abundance of weaker crea- tures, must have enjoyed an abundance of victims. The expedition also se- cured 20 specimens of ancient dogs, creatures about the size of the present- day red fox Perhaps the most interesting spaci- mens secured, from a scientific stand- point, were the skull and lower jaw of a big bird of the hawk femily. It shows that through 60,000.000 yesrs these birds of prey have changed very little. Another find of considerable scientific importance was that of the skull and skeleton of a tiny deer. It was hornless, stood about 2 feet high, and had leg bones slenderer than a lead pencil. | Get 2 Tons of Fossils. The most abundant of the fossils | found by Mr. Gilmore were those of | creodonts, a family of mammals that became extinct without leaving any near relatives among present-day ani- | mals There werc many varieties of | them, varying considerably in size. Re- constructions indicate that they had somewhat the physical characteristics of small pigs. Their tceth, however, hose of ruminating animals and they may have been cud chewers. Ap- parently, they lived in great herds in the Oligocene forests and along the streams. Mr. Gilmore was assisted this Sum- mer by George F. Sternberg and M. V. Walker of Hays. Kans. They secured altogether more than two tons of fossils. Some of the best specimens probably will be prepared for exhibition in the National Museum. U. S. JUDGE TO RETIRE A. 8.

ISMITHSONIAN EXPERTS SOLVE MYSTERY OF ‘STONE DOUGHNUTS’ Nicely Hewed Circles of Red Sandstone Really Were Shaped by the Weather. The mystery or the big stone dough- nuts has been solved by Smithsonian Institution investigators, it was an- nounced today. Dr. Truman Michelson, Smithsonian ethnologist, was engaged this summer in Indian studies near Geary, Okla. when his attention was called to o spot known locally as “The Chimneys.” Here were scattered scores of curiouc objects—circles of red sandstone abou! the size of small wheels—more tha: nine inches in dlameter—with holes ir the centers. The sides were nicci beveled. They looked like monsts doughnuts turned to stone. The stones were shaped so nicely they seemed almost certainly to bc human artifacts, but they were en- tirely unknown to American ethnolo- gists. Dr. Michelson brought somc specimens back to Washington, wherc they were studied by Dr. W. F. Foshag Smithsonian mineralogist. Careful cx- amination revealed that they were no the product of human hands at all, but entirely natural formations, spe-imens of which had been found before, but never in such abundance. The wind, Dr. Forhag explained, tends to deposit sand in circles. On successive days. under proper condi- tions, such sand circles may b2 laid dewn on top cf one another. In the course of time the sand grains mented together with carbonat: contained in sclution in ground waters, and are compressed in sandstone masses But the circles successively laid down tend to continue as strata. Then comes the weathering—the tearing down process. The sandstone masses are broken down, tending to fall apart as circular disks. Wind- blown sand, operating over the course of centuries, does the rest. It may cut holes through the centers. It may round the edges of the “doughnuts” as nicely as the job could be done by human hands. It is likely to produce almost any sort of sculptural curiosity. The abundance of such stones in any one place, however, may have occa- sloned superstitious reverence among 22 Years on Bench. ' | th eprimitive Indians, and the piled-up “doughnuts,” ethnologists believe, may really have served es altors. R SN Fails to Row to America. GENOA.
