Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MA IT j TRTBUNE. MEDFOK1), OREGON'. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 1936. to go back a huncreo. million years, to the black Jura epsllon time when man was non-existent. In those days It Is believed that a so-called Nep tune's Sea covered the Swablan Alb, a mountain range In southern Qer many. Subsequent centuries saw the mud of this sea compressed Into slate at one-twentieth of Its original vol ume, enclosing the Imprints of tch thyoaarus, primeval fish, and sea flowers. Through years of work Dr. Hauff has made casts from many kinds of foMlis. For 3.000 marks a person may buy Ichthyonarua nine meters long, accompanned In some replicas by their young. His best find at Holzmaden Is said to be an lchthyosaur with the skin on. a discovery made In 1892. This is understood to have presented the first reAl Image of the primeval beasts. They are believed to have had a body rewmbllntr that of the dolphin with a tall-fin of wnicn the under support was an apparently curved backbone. Further, a boneless back fin could be distinguished In the cast, which showed ft shadowy line depicting clearly the flshllke form t the snouted monster. Dr. Hauff does not spend bis time hunting In the slate quarry, it is Is nearly an equal amount scattered throughout the world in the form of Jewelry, onramenta. fillings ior teeth; church, mosque and temple orna ments; gold-leaf signs and to) private hoards. India Is the greatest hoard ing country, where native princes have vast sums accumulated through centuries. ' Most of the world's -gold has been mined in modern times. The society offers these figures for 1935: South Africt, 8.900.000 ounces. South Africa,-9.900.000 ounces. United States, 3.300.000 ounces. Canada, 3.000,000 ounces. Since 1402. when Columbus' voy age opened the way to the rich gold supplies of the new world, produc tion has totaled 1,189.400.000 ounces. Of this amount, all except 217.000 ounces has been mined since 1860. i!LF lion. It points out that the holdings probably never were surpassed by any government at any time In history. "The Inca Athaualpa of Peru," the society said, "sought to purchase bis freedom from Pizzaro by filling a room about 20 feet aquare with treas ure as high as he could reach, but America's present gold supply would form a cube 120 feet high, wide ami deep, the size of a 12-story building. "It would make a solid structure of 71S.000 gold 400-ounce bars about the size of building bricks, worth $14,000 each. This Is equivalent to one for nearly every person In the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. t "Spreading out this gold Into a 'de luxe' highway top-dressing, a quarter of an Inch thick, there would be enough to pave a two-lane 16-foot road from New York to Chicago, near ly one-third of the way across the north American continent." Tills golden treasure Is being guard ed with extraordinary care. Near Fort Knox, Kentucky, 600 miles Inland from the Atlantic coast, a huge new steel and stone storage fortress la be ing bulls to house much of the gov ernment's gold aupply. it will be guarded nor only by the latest type of burglar-proof vaults, but by the army's most modern mechanized cav alry units, stationed at the fort. An other large aupply of gold has been FLU EPIDEMIC 'CLOSES 9 CALIF OF GOLO DWARF FABLES OF OLD !r iLU II PITTSBURO, Calif., Pfb. 14. (UP) Nine schools In tin PltUburg area were ordered closed down today by Superintendent Ramsdell when City Health Officer H. E. Petera re ported that 40 per cent of 2000 puplll were suffering from Influenza. Peters estimated that approximate ly 800 children were either In Initial or advanced stages of the disease. The shutdown order affected all elementary and high schools of the region. OF ICHTHYOSAURS worked by a commercial firm, whtchj sells the slate for Duumng purposes. The workers, however, for a small compensation Inform the scientist whenever they come across the dirty, reddish-brown line which usually de notes the confines of a fossil. The entire piece of stone must be transported to the workshop. If it happens to contain an lchthyosaur, at least three months delicate, pains taking labor must be put in before the cast of the monster Is completed. One small slip of the chisel, and weeks of work, to say nothing of a unique specimen, may be lost. BFRLIN (UJf Dr. Barnhard Hauff Is Baitl to own the only lchthyosaur factory In tlie world and to be the only one who selli antediluvian fos sils for his livelihood. Living near the alate quarry at Holzmaden, near Klrchhelm ( south central Germany). Dr.' Hauff ha spent a lifetime preparing and cast ing potrtfled outlines found printed In the brittle atone.

Treasury's monetary gold stock passed, the 10 billion mark rocently the holdings totaled nearly one-half of the world's supply. The National Geographic Society, that the public might comprehend more accurately the magnitude or this gold supply, offers some compar isons an to Just how much Is 10 bil ver, 1,300 miles Inland. Though tnc possibility of invasion Is remote, the government Is not risking its gold too near either seacoast. The society points out that the ex act amount of gold In the world Is impossible to determine. Gold coins and gold reserves held by govern ments as backing for currency total 633.400.000 ounces.
