Skeloton Shows Human Race is
Older Than Believed.
Ago Over 100,000 YearaBelng Much
Moro Like tho Modern Briton
Than tho Neanderthal
Typo.
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.

Vainly Appeal to These Con

St Petersburg. Agrarian reform

spondent writes. It was tho greatest
work of Peter A. Stolypln, premier of
Russia, whom Dmitri Bogroff assassin

gala performance in tho Municipal the

"While quelling a bloody revolution
Stolypln brought about a peaceful

premlor's bitterest enemies.
His great plan of lotting tho peas
ants hold land in perpetuity, which
Stolypln Inaugurated in 1906, has giv

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.

Instead of miles away, as undor the

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.
