London. -English sciontlsts aro tak ing groat interest in tho discovery of a skoloton boneath an undisturbed layor of bowlders and clay in East Anglla, now Norfolk and Suffolk. If tho ovidenco is good, this Bkoloton must bo that of a man who belonged to a raco that lived in that district before tho most severe of the various ico movements of tho glacial period. A singular foaturo of tho discovery Is that, in most respects, tho skeleton resembles that of tho modorn English man and is not of tho moro simian typo to which tho Neanderthal man, though a much later phenomenon, be longs. There now seems to bo a growing body of ovidenco that tho modorn typo of man was evolved at an ox tromoly early dato before tho begin ning of tho glacial period, but that, for thousands of years afterwards the primitive, or Neanderthal, typo con tinued to flourish In Europe. Until this find tho Neanderthal man was regarded as tho oldest In Europe, and one of tho scientific commenta tors says: "Some people wore hasty enough to dlscorn in thoso Neandorthal men, with their monltoyliko qualltios, evi dence of tho missing link. It Is now clear that they wore survivors of a stock which had deteriorated, and not progenitors of our race. If wo havo to accept tho theory of evolution and it la still only a theory it is a puz zling fact that man has changed so lit tle in 100,000 years." On this point Prof. Keith, anthrop ologist at tho musoum of tho Royal College of Surgeons, Bays of tho latest discovery: "There Ib ovory ovidenco thnt this man lived long before tho glacial pe riod. During this period England was covered with a great thickness of ico. STOLYPIN Agrarian Reforms Have Brought Peace to Peasants. Millions Now Possess Farms Social istic and Revolutionary Agitators Vainly Appeal to These Con tented Yeomen. St Petersburg. Agrarian reform begins to boar good fruit, a corre spondent writes. It was tho greatest work of Peter A. Stolypln, premier of Russia, whom Dmitri Bogroff assassin ated in tho czar's very presenco at a gala performance in tho Municipal the ater at Kiev last September. "While quelling a bloody revolution Stolypln brought about a peaceful ono," say thoso today who were tho premlor's bitterest enemies. His great plan of lotting tho peas ants hold land in perpetuity, which Stolypln Inaugurated in 1906, has giv en land of their own to 32,000,000 peas ants; they possess 3.Q00.O00 square miles in European Russia and 7,500, 000 square miles in Siberia. And the faco of tho land has been changed. Tho peasant now lives on his property Instead of miles away, as undor the old communal system, when all tho land was redistributed every threo years. Resides, tho owner works intensive ly now, for ho takes prido in his land. COURT DECIDES ODD CASE High British Tribunal Declares Men Who Carved Initials In Whale Can't Be Punished. London. Tho divisional appeal court has decided that lt is not legal cruelty to stab or carve your initials on a living whale, as long as tho ani mal is not kept in captivity. Last July a number of whales wore stranded on tho Cornish coast near Penzance, and tho villagers commenced chopping them up, while sightseers even carved their Initials on tho distressed ani mals' sides. Tho Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to animals prosecuted ono of tho Initial carvers for cruelty, but the local maglstrato held that ns the whales woro not in captivity tho of fenso did not como within tho law. On appeal tho society tried to prove that bb tho whales wero surrounded by people and could not get away till the tide turned thoy were in a stato of captivity, but Justico Plckford, whllo admitting that initial carving on stranded whales was a form of amuse ment that ought to bo punished, do elded that tho term "captivity" did not apply, and dismissed tho appeal.

This is tho largest enterprise in Can ada slnco the transcontinental railroad was inaugurated, When tho cnnal is enlarged lt will havo a depth of 22 foet, against 14 foot nt present, and will enablo tho Canadians to moot tho competition of tho now Erlo canal.

It was under neath a deposit of this sort that tho skeleton was found. Hence ho must havo lived beforo tho ico ago and be fore tho rivers formed.

A sturdy, hardworking yeoman class is slowly but surely growing in Russia; this In six years, and the plan will not bo worked out completely for sovoral years more. Tho fact is be coming clearer and clearer that agrar ian reform has dono more to calm Russia than all tho reprossLvo dictates from tho city. Socialistic and revolu tionary agitators havo no success whoro tho mujlk owns his land, be cause lt Is all ho really caros for In this llfo and onco ho has It ho will run no risks. A tremendous outcry against Stoly pln arose when ho sot this work on Claims Fortune In America Welsh Railroad Man Confident of Proving Title to Part of New York City. London. Thomas Williams, a re tired railroad man, who lives in a cot tago at Caorsws, a Welsh village, tolls me that ho Is confident of proving ills right to a fortune in America of $275, 000,000. He liases his claim on bis belief that ho is tho nearest surviving malo rela tive of Edward Edwards, a Welshman, who emigrated in tho 18th century and amassed an enormous fortune, but died intestate. Edwards was a nativo of Llanymynech, near Oswestry, and romoved to SUverdalo, whoro he mar rlod. His wife's behavior caused him to emigrato to Now York stato, where ho acquired cheaply tho marshy land on which part of Now York city now stands. When tho British government recog nized American independence Ed wards leased his land to tho United States government, but tho lenso ex pired In 1880. Edwards also acqulrod collieries at Edwnrdsville (named after him). Williams told mo that ho was sixty four years of age, had worked on flvo railways Including tho Northwestern, tho Great Contral and Brecon, Merthyr & Cambrian. Ho saved mon ey, but lost somo In tho Liberator frauds and moro recently In a London bank failure. Ho has engaged a first class lawyer In America nnd Is himself collecting data here. He showed mu ment to his present state might havo takon something liko 10,000 years. Later they put tho period at something around 20,000 years. Tho difference If any, betwoen this man's bodily frame work and modorn man's is so minute as to provo that tho evolution must havo taken hundreds of thousands of years.
