Mr. Roy Chapman Andrew 8 returns from an Asiatic desert, once inhabited to saturation by human beings, bringing nes °* a colossal creature that lived 6,000,000 years ago. And the earth was a thousand, two thousand million years old when He made this behemoth—whose bones have turned to stone. It is a long, long way back to the first verses of Genesis.
