...traveler named Frank Cowan of Greensburg, Pa., published in Vol. III, No. 1, of Ward's Natural Science Bulletin, dated Jan. 1, 1884. The same issue contained a sketch of a brontosaurus, a facetiously polysyllabic and mildly risque poem about a mermaid and an octopus, articles on the musk ox and the flying fox of Australia; also included was a business-like list of catalogs for the sale of such natural history specimens as human skeletons. North American bird eggs, glass models of invertebrates. This periodical, published by Ward's Natural Science Establishment of Rochester...

In Vienna the Catholic cohorts of Chancellor Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, ardent restorationists, have been sorely troubled because hot-headed Vice Chancellor Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg, who commands an adventurous private army, has told them, in effect: "Of course I want Otto restored as Emperor, too. But Austria must...
...east as Pennsylvania, as far north as New Hampshire, as far south as Georgia. The University of Denver records 295. Meanwhile "Folsom man" and "Folsom culture" remained elusive. Were the vanished hunters who used the points really as old (12,000 to 20,000 years) as the bison, mammoth, musk-ox and elephants whose bones were found with the points? Where were their own remains and their campsites...
