EXPLORE RED RIVER VALLEY

Scientific Expedition to Make Search for the Bones of Reptiles of Prehistoric Era. Another expedition to look for the bones of great phehlstorlc reptiles in the Red River valley of Alberta is on its way. This time it is under the direction of Dr. W. A. Parks of the University of Toronto, and the Royal Ontario museum. For a number of years these expeditions an •annual summer journey for three months. Two years ago the almost perfect specimen of the kritosaurus IncurYlmanus, which has just been finally chipped free from the rock and presented to the museum, war found, making a distinct addition to the records of science, and giving to Toronto the only specimen of this species yet discovered. Three incomplete skeletons of the kritosaurus and a great horned head of a brontosaurus, 4 feet 6 inches in length, were found by the professor, but have not yet been carved from the rock. It is the hope of Prof. Parks to collect ultimately for the Royal Ontario museum one of the finest exhibits of dinosaurs in existence. The locality and the method of finding the specimens are described by Prof. Parks. “The river cut right through the flat prairie to a depth of 400 feet, forming a whole lot of broken buttes, and'lt is among these that the bones are discovered. One of the difficulties in obtaining complete . specijnens is that the bones cannot be obtained until they are partly exposed by the action- of natural derodlng Sometimes you are disappointed then, for after exploring you may find only a single bone. You dig down as close as you can and pack the rock In plaster parts fqr shipment.” The Red River valley 3,000,000 years ago was near the coast of a great Inland sea that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic ocean. “The sand along the shallow, brackish shores of this great body of water formed a splendid preservative for those huge reptiles which Inhabited the world at that time. Our kritosaurus was found tn what we call the Bell formation of the upper Cretacean system,” exiAained Prof. Parks.

the ancient peoples for protection, and through the evolution of the centuries new generations have failed to Improve upon the ancient types that exist in various climates to prevent exposure either, to extreme heat or cold. The sub-arctic people from the frozen tundras wear a snugly-fitting bonnet with earlaps. In India the turban is worn to protect ‘the head against excessive heat, says Asia Magazine. These turbans are made from cloth, 20 to 40 feet long, and wound about the head in endless variety, according to rank and taste. The natives of the Philippines and the South Sea islands wear large sun hats, usually made of palm leaves. In China, in addition to the large, peaked coolie hat, one finds a hat which is emblematic of rank. The social position of a Manchu woman can always be determined by the ornaments on her bonnet, often consisting of precious jewels. Some of these hats cost as much as SIO,OOO. In various climates and countries natives utilize ornamentations they secure from birds and game to make their hats attractive.

Old Japan Disappearing.

' Jabari 'is so fast adapting and -adopting not only w-estern customs and manners,' but western architecture, as well, but the traveler, who wishes to see anything Japanese must get out of the cities and off the beaten track. Standing on the Ginza, Tokio’s main thoroughfare, the stranger will . be amazed at the variety of fashions that will pass along before A gentleman in evening .dress is followed by another who wears a frock coat and bowler hat, and by still another robed in native haori and hakama, canopied by a top hat, and sporting an expensive cane or umbrella. Behind these strolls along a man in overalls, followed by one In a yet more mongrel costume —a suit of white cotton underwear, over which Is a cotton kimono and no shirt. All this is immensely comical, but the Japanese take It as a matter of course. The Japanese women, however, are free from these (Eurasian indiscretions In dress and , habit, preserving b's yet their graceful native costumes.

Anilin Poisoning From Hair Dyes.

A case of chronic anllln poisoning, manifesting all of the typical symptoms, namely, vertigo, gastritis, diplopia, asthenia and exfoliated dermatitis, Is reported by Thompson. The cause of the poisoning‘was a French hair dye called “Goute Agouti.? The type of anilin was paraphenophendlamln, 2 per ceht; hydrogen peroxide, 1 7C per cent, and alcohol, 28 per cent. -Thompson points out that the menace of anilin hair dyes has not yet suffi•clently been emphasized to be appreciated generally by the medical profession. The fact that personal susceptibility varies as much as in the dhse of poisoning, for example, from Rhus toxicodendron, only makes it mpre difficult always to recognize such cases. It is well to be suspicious of artificial Titian red hair and all the darker shades up to jet black.
