The Antiquity OF Man.

Prof. Nudge has presented some In.
tcreeting evidence relating to the antiq.
uity of man, In the Kansas City Rerie,,
~ Science. lie starts by assuming the
correctness Of the generally accepted
opinion among biologists that man wa'
on the earth at the close of the glacia
epoch, and offers evidence to prove that
the antiquity Of the race cannot be taken
ut less than 100000 years. After the
glacial epoch, geologists have recognized
by their effects, three others, namely
the Champlain, the Terrace and the Del.
Ia, all supposed to be of equal length
His argument for estimating the dur,.
ton of these cpochs Is as follows: lie
takes the case of the delta Of the Mssls-
appl, and notes the fact that, for n dis.
lance of about 200 miles of this deposit,
there are 10 bc discovered buried forests
Of large trees, one over the other, with
lnterspaccs Of sand. Ten distinct fol-
cat growths of this nature have been oh
served, which must have succeeded one
another "lhesc trees are the bald cy-
press Of the southern States. Some hay,
been observed over twenty-five feet IN
diameter, and one contained 300 annu-
al rings. In some instances these hug,
trees have grown over the stumps Of 9th
crs equally lOrgc, aud such instances oc-
cur IN all, or ncarly all, the ten forcs
beds." From these mcts Il Ia not NJ.
Stunning too much TO estimate the aniiqi
ty If each Of these forest growihs AZ 10,
600 years, or 100000 years for the tc
fompte. Thb estimate would not tak,
Into account the interval Of tlmc--whlC
doubtless was considcrablc--that clape"
between the ending OF ono forest and a..
beginning Of anothcr. "Snch evidence

On the horizons verge ! saw q fair,

Tho dazzling glory of great love stole.
How idle then seemed earth's small jeal-

The subtle poison Of sweet batteries

The world has not learned loves true

Largeness of life beyond thee, and my

PRnSPECT. Ocfnher Ii. 1919

PROSPECT, october IL, 1879.
The frost OF the Goth utimo was less dis.
astrous to the tobacco crop than the burn
ing sun on the fresh-cut plants on the warm
days following, especially on Friday the 30
instant. On that day much tobacco was IN
jured throughout the country. Ihe GROUND
was bot. and dry, and unlucky was tne
farmer that did not scaffold lmmed'attly
after the knife. With the above cGcep-
tions the weather this 1ali mas peen
az favorable as the planters could
wisb. Even the late tobacco has
had time 10 ripen, and very fair crop OF
most excellent tobacco has been housed.
mich interest is manifested by farmers in
this section of country in curing their TO-
bacco properly. This is move in the right
direction. 1t is strange that farmers know
so little about curing their tobacco. Even
the best OF them cannot cure two houses
alike, or cure one house with uniform color
throughout. 1t is high time that there should
be some undertaking rule by which tobacco
NAV be cured uniformly any color that may
be desired. Most OF farmers labor hard
and study diligently so as 10 have no blum
der in regard to raising forward plants, and
see to it that the soil be properly prepared
and well MANFRED so as to insure vlSor-
GUS growth. They top and worm and
smoker with commendable assiduity; they
keep their grounds free from grass and
weeds, and they do everything under the
sun that will add to the beauty Of the leaf
and the weight OF the plant, but 10 !! when
it comes 10 the house there is haphazard
system, if system it may be called, of color
ing, curing, and preparing their tobacco for
market. Many fine crop that has been
cut ripe fails just here. Crowded into
open, leaky barns, exposed to different de-
srees Of light and heat and smoke, there
results, through the fixed laws OF nature,
quite diversity of colors. The new sys-
ten of curing tobacco by coal and steam
thst is now in operation in this neighbor-
hood and elsewhere Is eIiciting considera-
BILE attention, and 1t Is to be hoped that this
may be lamp to guide the farmer in the
way to success and prosperity. Httt's

ence was held ID reference to q division OF
time for debates They claimed longer time
for their speakers, Elliott and Richardson,
than they were willing to .aflow to our
speakers. Ou our side we .profered
discussion on equal terms same time
to each side; which was releetea.
Each side commenced-R Richardson. on their
part, in the courthouse, aud Mr. Petit on
the col1rt-green. MIR. Petit made mastery
argument, denouncing General EIliotrs po-
sition in the strongest terms. DIR. Monteiro
next took the stand, and for an hour car
ried the crowd by storm. There has never
been more successful speech In our coun-
ty. When he closed William IL. Cabell was
| loudly called for, and then the "fur began
to fly" Colored and white applauded Mr.
Cabell to the echo.
Mr.. J. B. Ficklen closed the speaking
with his usual energy.
The good people Of Buckingham are EN-
tirely aroused, and the speaking here tot day
will incite everv man to do bis duty. Our
side are more than pleased with the results
of the day. Yours truly, SPECTATOR.
