BRONTOSAURUS HOAX
EX-KAISER'S CONTRIBUTION,
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZDALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 13th December. The story of the discovery of the 'Brontosaurus is regarded in London with mingled amusement and scepticism. Scientists, however, have not finally con-, signed the report to the realms of fiction. Professor Chalmers Mitchell says : "The discovery is possible, though unlikely. Similar stories were previously current. The ex-Kaiser supplied the last when visiting the London Zoo. Ho described the existence of a similar pie-historic monster in German East Africa. The Brontosaurus may be living in the Congo to-day. But I would feel sa-fo in offering a thousand pounds to .a halfpenny that it isn't."
Professor Smith Woodward, of the British Museum; is equally sceptical. He believes that, the Brontosaurus finally disappeared with tho arrival of the Cretaceous period..
