Six-Foot Fossil Fish Dug Up in Texas Canyon » Austin, Texas.--The fossilised remains of a giant species of ftsh, found partly exposed In the Austin formation in Grace canyon in Brewster county, has been received by the University of Texas bureau of economic geology from M. B. Arick, of Alpine, formerly assistant geologist In the bureau and now geologist for a Texas oil company. This fish, about six feet long, was found by Dr. J. T. Lonsdale; head of the geology department of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college and consulting geologist of the university bureau, and W. 8. Adkins, bureau geologist, about two years ago, and was later dug up by Mr. Arick and kept at Alpine until recently. The exact, species of the fossil Is not known. pleted the crossing in August, 1929.

Waghorn could get across almost between breaths. No one knows just when the first channel crossing was made. Since Caesar's first crossing In the summer of 55 B. c!, a number of freak crossings have been made. Some of them have advanced safe, adopted transpoctation methods--others have been attempts similar to flagpole or tree-sitting and nonstop dancing erases. A French engineer, Mathieu, first proposed a channel tunnel. His Idea was favorably considered for a time by Napoleon. Since that time dozens of plans such as ferries for whole trains, bridges high enough to allow any liner to pass under them, tubes resting on the ocean bed, and tunnels under the sea have been suggested. In Aupust, lST.'i. Capt. Matthew Webb s-.vani the channel in 21 hounfr and 45 minutes. He was the first per» son officially reported to cross the channel, by swimming from shore, to shore. Gertrude Ederle was the first woman to make a successful swimming crossing and her time stood as the record until the German baker, Hans Vlerkotter, established the present time of 12 hours and 30 minutes. Cross In Balloon. In 1785, a Frenchman and an Englishman succeeded In crossing In a balloon. M. Bleriof, In 1909, Inaugurated the. swiftest modern method by flying in a heavier than air machine. Another Frenchman crossed on an ordinary push bike equipped with two light floats. The Spaniard, La Clerva, has made several crossings In his wlndmill- llke autoglro. Another adventurer did the double 'if journey on a motorcycle fitted with floats and propeller gear, Two Austrian students paddled across In a 14-foot rubber canoe, and another adventurer of the same nationality crossed In a collapsible boat. A submarine has done the trip as far as the depth of water would permit. MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.
