A very large proportion of this money was paid out by various companies to their employees in the form of wages. + In 1926 the "North Western" system lines employed 56,237 individuals whose aggregate wages were $93,026,264.

Natives‘ Reaction ‘ "The people of the valleys where these skeletons are found, realizing that they are different from anything now living, have built up a belief that they are the bones of giants, both human and animal, which still have great powers for good or evil,", Mr. Riggs said. "Some of these Inâ€"| dians tell stories that they have seen the skeletons come out of the river banks and hills at night and go down to the water to drink. Because of the native fears, many earlier expeditions encountered much opposition and difficulty. Once an expedition was followed by a period of floods which destroyed erops, and the natives blamed the disturbance of the bones for the ill fortune. They say that if the skull of one of these creatures ‘breathes‘ upon a man it will cause instant death, and tell of unfortunates who, they say, perished in this manner. Other native #Troups regard the giants as more benignant, and families keep teeth and small bones they have found as #bod luck charms on their persons or in their houses. Many of the natives, howâ€" ever, because of their fears. are even today unwilling to hire themselves as laborers to aid the white men‘s exâ€" peditions in excavating or transportâ€" ing the bones."

This shovel, which will be the largest in the world, will be used in the open pit mining of coal in Illinois about May 1. One seoop load of dirt by this big shovel will be sufficient to fill a room the size of the bathroom in an ordinâ€" ary home, or to fill eight large trucks.

The Argentinian specimens represent the pleistocene age, ranging from 1,000,â€" 000 to 1,500,000 years ago. The Boliâ€" vian specimens represent the pliocene age, from 7,000,000 to 9,000 000 years Other members of the expedition were Robert C. Thorne, Dr. Rudolph Stahlecker and Senor Jose Strucco. Small collections of modern mamals and reptiles, and plants of the regions visited, were also brought back.
