"REAL MISSING

LINK."

AMERICAN SCIENTIST'S

THEORY.

New Orleans, Dec, 20.

Professor William Patten, of Dartmouth College, described at to-day's session of the Society for the Advancement of Science the discovery of the real missing link, which, he declared, was a five- Tout skeleton found in the rocks of the Baltic Sea.

Professor Patten called the link 500,000,000 years old, declaring that it had typical markings of certain pre-natal human beings. It is a fish-shaped creature, a descendant of the giant spider and sen scorpions, which Professor Patten declared were, a thousand million years ago, the highest form of nutmal life.

Dr. Richard P. Strong, of the Harvard Medical School, Depart- ment of Tropical Medicine, ex- plained at the session the biblient fiery serpents (Numbers 21, 6) which scourged the Children of
