60 MILLION YEARS OLD CREATURES
ARE MAKING A LIVING IN 1936
Toledo, July 1. Trilobites, 60,000,000 years old, make a living for C. O. Miller of suburban Sylvania, in Ohio.
Miller collects, then sells them' to geology departments of uni- versities all over the world. For 13 years he has lived comforta- bly from his trade in trilobites.
A trilobite is a marine creature which lived in the past ages. To the geologist it is a cephalopod which reached its maximum in the Cambrian and Ordovician periods. To the layman, the trilobite is a fossil which resembles an Armoured Waren. Usually, Mere are three seg- to the fossil, the head, the thornx

FOUND IN QUARRIES,
Miller, whose face is burned to a ruddy tan from his fossil raliccting, gathers his trilobites from quarries near Sylvania. He was led to the spot by a stranger, 13 years ago. Miller immediately recognised the fossils, for they had been his dubby ever since he saw one in a Chiengo museum. He was a newspaper re- porter, then,
After his had sent some samples to Ohio State university, he was commissioned as trilobite-hunter for the university.
Now Miller's Ohio trilobites are to be found in every state university in the nation except Utal. He has sent them to Paris, London, Rome, Persia, Spain and Portugal..

And three other children of the tragic mother, also at play, were kept in ignorance of, the tragedy.
They were the sons and daughters of Mrs. Charlotte Bryant, 33-year-old widow, who was found guilty at Dorset Assizes, Dorchester, of poisoning her husband, Frederick George Bryant, 39, of Coombe, with arsenie.
The two children who were told were Ernest, aged 12, and Lily, aged 10,

Fiery Saturn Tip its Rings
SIDE VIEW. WILL DELIGHT ASTRONOMERS
Mt. Wilson, Cal., June 28. To the delight of astronomers throughout the world, the planet Saturn will flip its famous rings sidewise to the Earth for a few nights at the turn of the month. Peering some 800 million miles through space with their power- ful telescopes, astronomers will take advantage of the pheno-: menon to delve into severni outstanding mysteries. about the planet. Saturn ordinarily tips so that its 171,000-mile wide system of rings is visible to the Earth as a gigantic, glowing oval.
The rings, of which there are three, are believed to be composed of small meteor-like fragments whirling around the planet so fast they appear as a solid sheet- much a. spinning automobile wheel resembles a disc.

Sunlight strikes the rings and is rellected earthward, transforming the rings into beautiful gleaming ovals when seen through a telescope.
On the night of June 30, the Earth passes through the plane of Saturn's system. For a few nights before and after, the rings will be seen on edge. like looking squarely at the face

Two Men

DRAMATIC stories of men whe voluntarily contract deadly discases in the cause of science were told by Sir Malcolm Wat- son, Director of the Ross Insti- tute of Tropical Hygiene, at a London conference recently.
At no time in the history of re- search, he declared, hnd there beon a lack of volunteers when men were required to risk or sacrifice their own lives and health for the benefit of their fellow creatures.
