Should Lappland reindeer
have to ‘suffer headaches to .

improve the sexual potency
of orlental men?

This question is debated
across Scandinavia —
although no one knows for
sure whether deer antlers
really heighten potency or
whether deer feel pain when
thelr antlers are clipped.

The problem came up
recently when a Japanese

food firm ordered 300
reindeer from northern
— Sweden's Lapps, so they
could become the nucleus of
a Japanese herd.

Fossils may warn.
us of an ice age

By BILL GREER

EL PASO, Tex. (AP) —
Aroused from thelr grazing
by a pursuing predator,

perhaps a sabre-tooth tiger, regurgl

a herd of llamas panicked
and rushed headlong across
the landscape and over a 50-
- foot ledge to a quick death on
the rocks below. ,

‘The bones of the llamas re- -
mained undisturbed in ‘the
ravine for approximately.
15,000 yeara —- until recently,
when a _ scientist from
University of Texas here
began exploring the area
which is now southeastern
New Mexico.

The scientist, Arthur
Harris, believes that by

' identifying the animals
which had been in the area

- -10,000-30,000 years ago, it
-may be possible, to deter-
mine roughly the’ weallor
conditions and ecology of
time. -

“Some believe’ we are
headed into another ice age.
What: we can find : out
studying these fossils ‘from
the last ice age may tell us
what we have to look for-
ward to.”

Harris digs up bones from
small birds and studies
fossils of giant ground sloths,
llamas, camels and horses
that used to roam the far
southwestern edge of.
United States. The quest tea
him to the bones of animais
trapped in area caves.

“We've been looking into
what plants, animals and cli-
mate were like in the past
10,-000 to 80,000 years. Most
of the material we are
working with comes from
cave deposits in southern
New Mexico and Texas.

“We are working par-
tleularly with deposits from

. Dry Cave, located about 15
miles. west of Carlsbad,

“The way that cave (Dry
Cave) lies, animals ap-
proaching from one direction
came upon a vertical fall-off
before they knew it. At the
time these things were
deposited there was a 30-to
so foot sheer drop.

“They may have been
paying attention to
something that was chesing
them, fallen into the fissure

and keen killed by the fall or [ia

out

fell in at one time.”
