"Terror Bird" of Long Ago Restored by Taxidermists About 1890 the scientific world was startled by the report from Argentina of the discovery of fossil remains of several enormous birds. Some were eight feet in height. They were obviously carnivorous and must have presented a terrifying appearance in life, says Ellen T.

The range of the period in which members of this group lived waa estimated at between eight and SO million years ago, varying with different species. Although the largest of these enormous flesh eaters was the eight-foot Brontornis, the smaller Mesembrlornis was perhaps even more formidable. Mesembriornis was only five feet high, but it was much better equipped as a bird of prey than the more cumbersome Brontornis. Robber Stamps ? Order at The Plaindealer.

Both newly independent Burma and the Union of South Africa have announced the discovery of extenaive uranium deposits, National Geographic society notes. These latest finds are further evidence that the atomic-energy ore is much more widely distributed arouncf the globe than popularly believed. r Prospecting for uranium lodes is much simpler than searching for gold. The uranium can be dete&ed easily by a scientific "divining rod." Radioactive by nature, the mineral literally broadcasts its whereabouts in the ground. Forty years ago Hans Geiger, a German Scientist, invented the instrument which hunts out the hidden ore. Best source of uranium is a mineral compound called pitchblende. It was mined at St. Joachimsthal in old Austria as early as 1917. FINED $5M . Pleading guilty before Count#' Judge Roscoe R.
