world’s history. This giv.es us a key to the age 
of the groups we are dealing with. Thus we 
are able to see through the mist of antiquity to 
a certain extent. The piecing together of the 
ancient pedigrees is a most entrancing scien¬ 
tific pastime. Although there are many missing 
links, yet the general conception of the an¬ 
cestors of any one particular class of the 
creatures which we find inhabiting the earth 
to-day js fairly clear. Thus we find that the 
sharks and rays are the representatives of the 
more ancient types of fish. The reason for this 
assertion is not far to seek. It is to be found 
in the simple structure of these fishes when 
compared with more completely built types of 
fish, such as the salmon. The bones of the 
shark are simple structures of cartilage, those 
of the salmon are formed of bony elements. 
The scales of the shark differ very little from 
their teeth in form and mechanism, while in 
those of the salmon there is a wide divergence. 
The Port Jackson shark is allied to a very 
primitive form on account of its close resem¬ 
blance to certain fossil forms, as regards its 
skeleton and teeth. The early remains of fossil 
birds prove that birds were once provided with 
these structures. We have fossils of birds • 
(archaeopteryx) obtained from the Jurassic age. 
The contemporaries of this creature were the 
huge marine fish-lizards, ichthyosaurus and 
plesiosaurus. At that time there were practi¬ 
cally no mammals existing on the earth; but 
myriads of flying lizards were to be found. 
These strange creatures are known as ptero- 
dactyles or wing-fingered lizards. They had a 
head much after the formation of a bird’s, with 
a beak, as it were, filled with teeth. The arch¬ 
aeopteryx (the most ancient bird) had a 
reptilian type of head, with a beak armed with 
teeth. It is no mere accident that both birds 
and fishes have similar characteristics. It is 
but a well organized scheme of nature, and the 
survival of those forms of life that are the most 
competent to live by reason of their adapta¬ 
tions to their environments. * 
BIRD FIGHTS THREE MEN. 
A Burlington, N. J., correspondent of the 
New York Times says that three men brought, 
the body of a sixfoot blue heron to that town | 
recently, with a story of how it had been feed¬ 
ing in the Koandak goldfish hatchery, near 
there, at an expense of $ioo a day to the 
owners, and how it had finally been killed after 
a fight that was worthy of its costly nourish- 
ment. _ J 
Steel traps have been set in the ponds of the 
goldfish hatchery to catch piratical birds and 1 
beasts that feed on the expensive fish. Charles 
Parker, Bryan O’Donnell, and James O’Don¬ 
nell saw the heron caught in one of the steel 
traps to-day. They waded out to capture him 
alive. Each had foresight enough to take with 
him a stick, but the minute they came within 
reach of the huge bird he leaped at them, break¬ 
ing their sticks with his bill and tearing at the 
clothes of the men with his claws. 
After a short fight, in which the heron was 
victorious, the three men withdrew and con-, 
suited. Then, arming himself with a huge tent 
pole, which he could use outside the range of 
the entrapped crane’s field of restricted action, 
Parker whanged him across the neck, break- 
ing it. _ 
The heron measured six feet and two inches 
from the tip of one wing to the other. The bird 
had already eaten several big Japanese goldfish 
when entrapped recently, valued, the owners 
said, at $ioo.
