Borhyena’s Last
Meal 30,000,000B.C.
(Sicence Digest)
About 30,000,000 years ago a
fantastic beast in what is now' the
Magdalena valley, in the republic
of Colombia, gobbled up a small
rodent, and lay down to lick his
chops.
He never got up. Something hit
him, and he was buried under a
pile of fine sand stone before he
had finished digesting his lunch.
Today University of California
paleontologists are studying the
fossilized remains of both him and
his last snack.
The beast, the like of which has
never been found either living or
in the boneyards of science, falls
within the genus technically
known as Borhyena. He was a
carnivorous marsupial, with the
habits of a wolf or hyena. Opos
sums and kangaroos are the types
of marsupials surviving today.
Borhyena’s lunch was not
discovered by the scientists until
the sandstone that froze him in
his dying pose was carved away
from his bone structure. Where
his intestines should have been
was a rodent belonging to a pre
historic group of animals related
to the porcupine - and guinea pig.
The rodent’s bones are somewhat
chewed up, apparently from Bor
hyena’s molars, but the small ani
mal had been only partially di
gested.
The fossil is an unusual one. In
testinal remains are seldom found
in a specimen, since fossilized ani
mals were seldom covered up im
mediately and consequently the
remains were widely scattered.
Borhyena is also unique in that
all his pieces are already in place,
and he doesn’t have to be fitted to
gether like a jig-saw.
ONE SWARM OF LOCUSTS.
seen crossing the Red Sea in 1889,
was so large that it covered an
area of 2,000 square miles, accord
ing to the Encyclopaedia Britan
nica. Another huge locust swarm
is reported to have traveled all the
way from the west coast of Africa
to England.

G.M. Head Says We
Need Production
• i ' ■
i .* J - ■—
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Charles
E. Wilson, president of General
Motors, told Congress yesterday
that what the nation needs most is
“continuous, uninterrupted, effi
cient production.”
And to make that poss:ble, he
said, the nation “must be protect
ed from . . . monopolistic strikes
that paralyze whole vital indus
tries or shut down one important
community after another.”
“The majority of the people of
our country recogni^g this truth
and an important step in this di
rection has just been taken by
Congress,” he added, obviously re
ferring to enactment of the Taft
Hartley labor bill which contains
provisions designed to block “na
tional paralysis” strikes.
Wilson outlined his views in a
statement to the joint Congression
al committee on the economic re
port.
Spanish explorers in 1508 intro
duced American timber to Europe,
believing it would cure many se
rious diseases of mankind.
