Fortunately, tho treasury has had an opportunity to mako some ad vanced tests, as they might bo termed, of the small-size money. AH tho paper cur rency of the Philippines (which has re placed the old Spanish notes, has been printod nt tho bureau of engraving.

The only objection to the new departure seems to be thut for some tlroo there will bo two sixes of paper money In circula tion. Out this difficulty Is to be obviated as for as possible by preparing In advance great quantities of the small notes, which on a fixed date will be exchanged for tho big opes at subtrvanurlM, banks and ofher large financial Institutions all over the country. Incidentally, It Is planned to reduae the nineteen designs on tho currency now In uko to nine, using tho same, portrait on ono denomination throughout. Thus the one dollar bill, whether treasury note, bank note or certificate, will bear the head ot Washington In the center of Its face. Its holder will know the denomina tion without looking at the numbers on It. OniihtrrfelU 3nro Kaally Detected.

SURE MAN WAS A MONKEY Government Anthropologist Tells Why nnd ilorr the Tntla Were I.itat. "Man cannot have arisen except from some more thcrold (anlmal-llke) form aoologlcally," It Is deolared In "Early Man In South America!" Just issued from the government printing office. ' Ales Hrdllcka, curator of the division ot physical anthropology of the National museum, Is the author of the publication, which Is known as "House ot rteprecnta. tives IJocument, No. 481." "On the basis ot what is positively known toduy In regurd to early man. and with tho present scientific views regard ing man's evolution," Mr. Hrdllcka says in his report, "the anthropplogNt has a right to expect human bones, particularly crania, exceeding a "few thousand years In age, and more especially those of geologic antiquity, shall present marked morphologic differences, and that these differences shall point in the direction of more primitive forms. No conclusion can be' more firmly founded than that man Is a product pt an extraordinary progressive differentiation-from some anthropomogdnlo stock, which developed somewhere in the later tertiary among tho primates. He began then as a organism that In brain and body Mas less than nun, that was an anthropoid. From this stag ho" could not become at once as he Is today, though In some stages ot his evolution he may have advanced by leaps, or at lesat moro rapidly than In others. He must have developed successively morphologic mod ifications called for by his advance to ward the present man. and have lost gradually thou features that Interfered with his advance or became useless progress which is still unfinished." Among other things that man lost on his way from monkey to man is a long and hairy tall. Mr. Hrdllcka does not HSffj Store. Victor Horn Type say so, but he Indicates it. "Wo know these to be facts," Mr. Hrdllcka continues, "(1) because all or ganlo form la essentially unstable, plas tic, reactive to changing influences, and to this law man's complex and relatively dellcato organism can form no exception; (2) because the best authenticated skele tal remains of early man show without exception a more or less close approxi mation to more prlmltlvp primate forms; (S) becuuse theso older human forms Bhow, In general, more therold features In proportions to t.- geologic antiquity; and (4) because morphologic differences which have occurred In numerous hlstorlo groups of mankind within relatively re cent times are very apparent today n tho various races of men, and are con stantly arising In tribes, in lesser groups, In families and in individuals. "Evolutionary changes havo not pro gressed and do not progress regularly in mankind as a whole, nor even In any of Its divisions. Such changes may be thought' of as a slowly augmenting corn, plex of zlgsags, with localised forward feaps, temporary baitings, retrogres. along, and possibly with even occasional complete cessations. Thus It would pot bo reasonable to expect that at any given dato In the past or present all the branches or members ot the human or pro;human family would be a abso lutely uniform type. At all periods some Individuals, and even groups, Were doubtless, more advanced than oth ers from the ancestral and nearer the present human type. Nevertheless, the morphologio status of the man In each geological . period had, unquestionably Its boundaries, and there Is no evidence or probability that two human beings, a geological period or more apart, could be so closely related in form that theli ( crania or skeletons would show strictl) one nnd the same type, - , "The antiquity, therefore, of any hu man skeletal remains which do not pre sent marked differences from those of 1 modern man may be regarded, on mpr-1 phologla grounds, as only insignificant , geologically, not reaching In tlruo In all probability beyond the modern, still un finished geologic formations. Should other claims be made In any case, the burden of definite proof would rest, heav ily on those advancing them. "Other considerations bearing on this point have been brought forth In the writer's report relating to ancient man in North America, "Thti essence ot the subject is that the expectation of Important form differ Victor-Victrola X, $75 Mahogany or oak V, $60 ences between human skeletal remains ot goologlo .antiquity and those of the present era is Justified; that the differ ences presented by tho older remains should point in the direction ot zoologic inferiority, and that where Important structural differences pointing to an earlier evolutionary stage are not found In the human skeletal remains which are the subject ot study, . and especially where the given crania and bones show olose analogies with tjiose ot modem or oven of the actual native race of the same region, tho geologic antiquity of suoh remains may well be regarded as imperfectly supported In fact, as Im probable." Dr. Hrdllcka was disappointed in what he found In South America, .but he Is certain that man come from a monkey. Washington Poet. , . EVANGELINE IS - AWAY OFF Kldcrly Crttlo Scoffs nt the Theories ot a Modern Feminist. There seem to be no particular reasons why the opinions of Dr. Evangeline W. : Young of Boston should be telegraphed all. over the country merely because she Is teaching eugcn.es and Implores young peo- plo not to fall In love at first sight. Fall ing In love at first sight, like measles or glanders or lying, is one of the things that we cannot help. As they say on the bills of lading. It is an act ot Qod. Failing in love at first sight and dying are the two superhuman events of our tlfe, and be-, cause they are superhuman fhey are be yond our control. I Now we don't want to be hard on Evan-. gellue. She means well, although how she can lecture on eugenics without blushing It Is hard to say. It must be the climate. And with such a name, too. But when she says that matrimonial disillusionment always follows. love at first sight she is talking the jure, unadulterated rubbish. Disillusionment always follows matri mony, Evangeline, no matter whether love was at first sight or at twentieth. Every one knows that, although our courage n saying so Is exceptional. Love at first sight, remarks Evangeline. s often caused by some trifle of dress or manner. Right you are. Never was profounder truth stated in simpler language. Boston scores once more through her gifted and eugenic daughter. And gold mines are usually discovered through some trifle of surface formation. All great events wars, revo lutions, matrimony and all other crimes, j disasters and catclynms-orlginate ,from trifling causes. Nature always begins with something very small when It 'is planning something very great, anil Evangeline would hardly believe how tiny we ourselves Were at birth. There fo nothing on earth of such cbllossal size as a trifle, nothing go full of profound pur", port as an insignificance. The man whw allows himself to be .attracted by "sottia trifle of dress or manner" has more in tuitive science In his little finger thaiv all the eugenics put together have In their whole Cosmos. Into the lecturer's recommendation - of marriages for money and social position we need not enter. We might have Ex pected it. Maybe we are-too old 'anil fossilized to keep abreast of the gay and giddy corebratlon which calls Itself mod ern thought, but we were, and are, under the Impression that tho man or woman who marries for anything bu love Is guilty of sexual depravlty.-San Francisco Argonaut.
