The designation of the markings as "drltsle runs" Indicates the weather conditions In what Is now Texas, In thnt far-off time. Formed en Mud Flats. The "chevron" formation of the markings Is due to the accumulation of Hue mud In a slow run off on a mud lint, with a gentle slope. Some slight obstruction, such as a grain of sand or a bit of plant material or a hard piece of mud, was enough to start the formation of alight ridge along which the markings continue. On another slab of red shale are to be seen circular marks where a plant leaf or a piece of grass made circular scratches In the soft mud millions f years ago.

My cousin Tracy has Just coma from Africa and hit account of what he has seen there Is quite different from the picture which I have painted of that, to me, undiscovered country. There are ford cars In Africa. Trury tells me. and ra dios snd moving picture slums, snd water softeners, and electric lights, and hard roads, and the girls bob their hair and curry lipsticks Just as they do In other civilised countries.
