...quarry which will be the scene of their efforts was first worked several years ago by Dr. Walcott of the Smithsonian Institute, when this noted scientist, who has since died, exploited the region with unusual success. It appears that the rock structure of the quarry is of a very dense nature, and hence is extremely suited for the preservation of delicate fossils...
When an animal dies, the possibility of his becoming a fossil occurs only if he is buried shortly after death or possibly at the time of death. In this event the body does not have a chance to rot, but is pressed unharmed into a rock layer. The dense nature of the rock strata in this quarry is of advantage in that water is prevented from seeping through and hence rotting away the tiny remains...
Although the acts transmitted by television suffered most of the defects of the early moving pictures, in that they were lacking the depth and detail of a film picture, and the image had an occasional tendency to rock from side to side, all shades of the photograph were present, and the sound synchronism was perfect. Perfection of this science is no thing of the distant future, as is shown by the fact that Dr. Alexanderson is soon to study practical conditions for the realization of some of his ideas at the invitation of the Navy...
