YALE SCIENTIST VISITS KANSAS
UF. EATON INSPECTS PTERODACTYLS.
Says Kansas' Collection of Material Is Second Best in World.
Professor George Eaton of the department of Paleontology of Yale University is visiting the department of Paleontology here, and making an inspection of the pterodactyl material that assist Curator H. T. Martin has collected. Professor Eaton arrived Thursday and yesterday morning made his first visit to the museum. He expects to be able to return to the east in three or four days. After a short stop at the University of Chicago, he continued his journey to Kansas and this morning declared that the department at Chicago has no material that is as good and complete as that at Kansas.
Three years ago Professor Eaton published a memoir on the subject of pterodactyls, and now he declares that he wishes he had been able to make this trip to Kansas before he had published his work. The pterodactyl was a large flying reptile of ancient times that largely resembled the bat that we know today. It had a spread of wings of fully twenty-two feet. It was a veritable ancient aeroplane with its large bony structure and a membranous tissue as the covering of the wings. Scientists agree that its body was without feathers.
The specimens that are contained in the University collections were obtained in the riches cretaneous fossil fields of the world, in Logan, Gove, and Trego counties.
asked.
"How do you think that the collection of pterodactyls here ranks with some of the collections of other Universities in the east?" Professor Eaton was
"Well, I think that you did not send all of your best specimens east when you made your earliest collections thirty years ago. Yale University has made a specialty of securing the best pterodactyl material procurable, and it is now considered the best collection in the world. Undoubtedly, I think that your collection is excelled only by the material that was sent east from Kansas several years ago. The specimens that are here rank second in the world, and then too the value of this is enhanced by the harder work and trouble experienced in making the collection than in collecting the material we received. In those early days of Kansas the collection was easier, although now the work that is being done in this department in gathering the new material is comprehensive and detailed. The chalk beds and cliffs then were open and undefiled.
"Since I have come out here," he continued, "and seen what you have here, I am thoroughly convinced that the Universities and scientists of the east have a tendency to be narrow in their views of the fields of scientific research. They have been or, organized for a long time and there is perhaps a tendency for them to accept only their own work as being good and ignoring what others are doing. If more of the eastern scientists would come to the west where the best material is to be obtained, they would be much more successful in their work."

UNIVERSITY MONKEY IS
SICK WITH PELLAGRA
Will Watch Development of Unknown Disease at Rose-dale Hospital.
Affected with a strange aliment that baffled all attempts of the experts at the University to diagnose it, one of the monkeys used by the Entomology department in its research work on pellagra was sent to Rosedale this week that the progress and development of the disease might be noted to better advantage. It will be two years, say the professors in charge of the work, before the disease if it be pellagra, can be recognized sufficiently to be investigated with a view to discovering and isolating the pellagra bacillus.
Doctor Andrew M. Skroog, professor of neurology at the University Hospital visited Snow Hall Friday to help diagnose the symptoms of the stricken simian. He declared himself unable to state the nature of the disease but expects later definite developments that will solve the secret of the mysterious malady.
Walter E. Emery who is associated with Professor S. J. Hunter in the pellagra work is making a survey of Douglas county in order to discover species of the sand fly, the insect that carries pellagra as the stygomia mosquito spreads yellow fever. So far the search has been unsuccessful.
GIGANTIC SHARK MOUNTED
Specimen From Kansas Chalk Beds Placed on Exhibition.
One of the most interesting specimens in our Museum of Natural History is now finished and is being placed on exhibition in the north-west corner of the museum on the top floor. The specimen is the skeleton of a huge shark which must have been fully twenty-five feet long in life. It was found in the chalk beds of western Kansas and was obtained by the University a year ago.
H. T. Martin, assistant curator in the Paleontology department, says that this is the only specimen in the world which shows distinctly upper and lower jaws with hundreds of teeth distinctly.

Many Contractors Compete For Fish Hatchery's Construction
CHEMISTS HEARD HOAD
Sealed bids for the job of constructing the new fish hatchery at Pratt, Kansas, will be opened at Pratt next Tuesday, November, 21, in the presence of the Board of Regents of the University and Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the School of Engineering. According to Professor Road, thirty contractors from Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Illinois are competing for this contract, which calls for $60,000 expense. A large number of detailed plans and specifications of the hatchery have been made for various competitors by Mr. Haskins, who is the draftsman for Professor Hoad.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, State Sanitary Engineer talked Wednesday night before the Chemical Engineering Society on the subject of "Sewage Disposal." He spoke of the problems which large municipalities have encountered in this important phase of the problem of sanitation and the remedies for the same.
