SLOTH AND SCIENCE.

BONES OF THIS ANIMAL AID IN ARN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

A First Link In Evolution—At First I Existed In North America and Ther Emigrated to South America—Ancient Isthimus of Panama.

One ef the greatest mysteries of science, re perplexity that has harassed the mind: of the foremost scientists, stands explained | by a discovery recently mado by Dr. S. L. Wortmen of the department of paleontol agy in the American Museum of Natura) History. By it geographers must change theories thas have prevailed as unchange- ally aril alter thelr rrekon'=zs Im c= > ja stance Ly 430,000 years. In ancthcr do main of science, that which deals with the monster animals of prebistoric times and ‘heir hfe, some interesting conjectures, ac

: tas a “xed belief, must be aismisced when corfronted ly the clear wtets set forth with indisputable evidence vy Dr. Wortman.

It proves, eo Dr. Wortman reasons, that there was an isthmusef Panama half a million years ago—not the neck of the present Gay, but a predtcessor, which in the lepse of timecame and disappeared. Geographers have contended that the thin satrinof land which connects Nerth and south America is nbouf 50,000 years old, nd that before thet tin.e tLere flowel a -heot of water 70 wiles wide hetween the two eceontinenta,

Tc nhows thut those huge siuggards, thé pigeuntic sicths, as large uaaun clophant, catue from what are row the southwestern puttong of the Uvi.rl Statos, and net trom South America. But all traces of these animals were confired almost ex- clusively to South America. Now and then a skeletcn hes heen found elsewnere —u few remains in this coumtry and some fragments of sloth teeth at Exverkingen, Prussia.

How these great beasts were bred has been unknown, ‘That lack cf Frowledge was a serious defocé inthe chain ef ovl- dence proving the doctrine of evolution. As geologista resolutely held that during the whole ef the eocene period, which-end- ed several hundred thousand years ago, there was absolutely no land cormection between North and Scuth America, Sow could animals emigrate from one cuatinent to the other? Some geologists have enter- tained the belief that they originated in Nort&% America, which thes was tropical, and marched te Alaska, then over the an- elent land bridge which connected that country with Asia, then strode into EKu- rope, Jeter visiting Africa, and finally marched across a sunken antarctic conti- nent to South America.

The true solutien of this profound prob- lem was discovered in the San Juan basin, in the northwestern part of New Mexico, by Dr. Wortman. He gavea brief technical acoount in a memoir, and it has excited inuch interest ameng scientists all over the world, upsetting, as it docs, many theories and throwing a strong flashlight upon the origin of things. In another memoir, en- titled ‘*‘The Ganodonta and Their Rela- tionship to the Edentata,’’ Dr. Wortman describes his find more fully.

In a canyon 1,000 feet high in the San Juan basiv, which is part of the Bad Lands of New Mexico, he hit upon skulls and fragmentary remains which in an in- stant, as it were, revealed the tale of the sloth and armadillo tribe, how they grad- ually evoluted from simaliness to mon- strous proportions and how they emigrat- ed. This discovery clears the long obscured pointof the origin and descent Jf the en- tire sloth group and brings it back into the closest relationship with other orders of mammals.

Deep down in that canyon he disinterred ene skull and a foot, lying in the lowest eovene stratum in North America. Now, es this particular layer of sediment, which later turned into stone, was deposited not less than 500,000 years ago, Dr. Wortman reckons the original sloth to whom that skwil belonged lived that many years in the past. All the region thereabout was covered by a great lake, which gradually, through the lapse of countless ages, be- came filled by mud, stone and other matter washed into it. The lowest cocene stratum

J2seH, DUI GE His Mest Primitivo, crenrry defined ancestor, whose girth was about that of a bulldog—certuinly not larger. Here, then, was the sloth’s original hame, and here it first flourished. When this moderate sizod fellow died, its corpse be- came imbedded in the muddy bottom of the lake. Tens of thousands of years after this another sloth passed away, and its body tumbled into the lakeandsank. This one was larger than the other, and, as the jake kept rising all the time, its bones are found hundreds of feet higher up in the canyon. But there came a time when the lake had risen so high that it overflowed and disappeared. The mud that had ac- cumulated in its bottom gradually turned into sandstone. In this, water through an almost endless procession of years cut its way, and so formed the canyon in the depths of which Dr. Wortman was enabled to grasp the evidence scientists so long have sought.

Thus the first known ancestor of the sloth has been placed and indisputably had his origin here and nowhere else. Through the whole of the vast eocene period, which ended 500,000 years ago, the sloth flourished and eyoluted until it became, as other re- mains found by Dr. Wortman in higher eocene deposits show, as large asa yearling stcer.

Then came a sudden and most startling change. At the close of the eocene period Ceposits all traces of the sloth in North America disappear abruptly and reappear in South America. This fact is ful] of the deepest significance.

1t means, says Dr. Wortman, that, not- withstanding the theories of geographers, there was an isthmus between North and South America 500,000 years ago. Vol- canie disturbances all of a sudden closed the watery gap between the continents, and over this land bridge the animals from the United States and Mexico made gradually a grand emigration. The sloths went into South America in great hordes. They found things more congenial there, as the ¢limate in this country was changing rap- fily trom the tropical to the temperate.

This isthmus, Dr. Wortman reasons, was temporary and doubtless existed fora few hundred years. Then, due to volcanic disturbances again, it disappeared and an oceanic stretch intervened until about 50,- OVO yeurs ago, when the isthmus of the present uprese from the water.—New York Herald.
