WOULD THIS BIRD Prehistoric Fowl Now in Museum Worked His Legs Like Oars The specimen in the Museum is the most complete skeleton known in the world, and the old adage: "Worth its weight in gold," may be applied to its skull; consequently, many great scientists, even from England and Germany have visited here especially to see it. A handfull of bones worth $4,000 may be seen at the museum in the Paleontology collection. Of course, these are not ordinary chicken bones, but they may be said to be 'as scarse as his teeth'. These are to be seen in a fossil bird, Hesperiornis gracilis, now known as Hargeria gracilis. Unlike all birds of today, Hesperornis had teeth, as did most other birds of the Cretaceous Period, which was some eighteen or twenty million years ago. Hesperornis had feathery legs high, nearly wingless and absolutely flightless. Its long, powerful legs extended outward at right angles from the body instead of backward, and unlike those of extant birds moved like a pair of oars, these birds had long tails so could possibly obtain the speed which this bird was supposed to have been able to accomplish. By the repetition characteristics of this bird, it can be seen that birds are closely related to reptiles. This specimen was collected in western Kansas in 1894 by H. T. Martin, curator of archaeology by Mr. and was described by mr. Willett.jsp RUSSELL COUNTY STUDENTS TO PLAY BASKETBALL XMAS By Florence Giesman) (By Fletcher 10-10)—The Russell K.

No strictly high school team was able to defeat them; they were defeated but once and that by a disputed score, on a questionable ruling.
