THE DATE OF THE EARLIEST MAN.
Was He Present on the Earth Before
the Glacial Period7

No discovery in geology or
archaeology in the last thirty years
has attracted mora popular inter
est or lei to a hutier contiict and
contest than the flint OF stone inn
plements found first ia the gravels
of the French river S0mme, later
in the Thames, aud last of all In
our own Delaware.
The argument for the presence
of man on the earth before the
glacial period, or IA matter of 2OO,-
900 years dgl or more, does no
rest altogether on these inpie-
ments; but they are It's chief prop
and buttress and a wide fabric OF
scientific assertion and assumption
has been reared on these little iii t
chips aud cutting tools. Mr.. JOhn
Fiske, ia his last his ory on the
..DiScovery of Americi," reviews
the evidence on the subject aud
reaches the conclusion that DIR. g.
Q. Abbott, to whom the Delaware
discoveries are due, has clearly eS.
taDlish..d by the remains he has
found in the Trenton gravels the
presence of man on tins continen'
before the last glacial icecap cover
ell it.
1t has taken near thirty years OF
hot discussion to reach this con-
cIusiln, and vast scOIn has been
poured in the course of the wor,ly
conflict on any one weak enou h
to believe that man has been less
long on the earth than was urged
on this theory. The authenticity of
these primitive relics of ptima
and palrullthic man has, however.
barely been established anl ac-
cepted and has begun to filter
down among the establish d scien.
tific commonplacts of the d'y,
when it begins to he challenged.
DIR. Daniel G.. Biinton, Of thi,
city, in tile very admirable aud
lucid notes on anthropology he
contributes to science, notes thai
the study of these chipprd fiji
fragments begins to show that
they are not real flint implements
at all, but only bits par tally
shaped and then thrown away br-
cause they we're u fit for their
proposed purpose. Consequently
they would not ''in my W y Illus
traie the industry Of the clippers,
no matter what age thy arr.'
To the lay mind, engaged in sim
ply watching as spectator the
conflicts and contests of science,
there is something appalling in the
possible collapses of all the lheo
TieS and assertions built on these
shapeiess bits of fiiur, argyll ite,
and other materials now treasured
in museums, and the sudden dis
eovery that they are not III the
least what they were supposed
to be.

says that the Confrssionals did a

on Monday morning with cricks IN

effort TO trace san imaginary line

We notice that very few of the
eminent astronomers sucree led in
viewing the comet Sunday night,
but Jackson has a local asplrant TO
