WHALES IN DESERT
WONDERS NEVER CEASE
Wonders never cease, and there is no end to the surprises this old earth gives us.
Who would over have expected to find skeletons of whales in a desert? Yet this is what has happened.
It seems likely that one of the biggest puzzles our scientists will have to solve is the mystery behind the immense collection of bones which have been found in the Libyan Desert.
Not only have the bones of immense animals of the mastodon typebeen found there, but also the skeletons and bones of unknown monsters which must have lived millions ol years ago. Among them are the bones of what are believed to have been whales, as well as those of other sea monsters; and the problem before the experts is to find some explanation ol the presence of the bones of these sea creatures in what is now a desert.
