Professor Mortillet, from observations
upon flint scrapers found in various parts

much greater in prehistoric times than at

neOlithic scrapers which he examined he
that los were used by the right

were not marked SO clearly that it could

The Eagiish Home Secretary Denounced io'
Not PardonIng Two Poachers'

The E,glish Home Secretary Denounced ior
Not PardonIng Two Poachers.
LONDON. March 1s.-The newspapers, except
the extreme Tory press, are unanimous IN ue-
nouncing the execution to-day at oxford
Of two men who had been driven % homl-
.oda while poaching The men we're
detected while shooting birds on the DO
mains Of one of the landed gentry. and IN the
strugple that followed they killed man ana
now their lives have paid the penalty. Strong
efforts we're rlade TO induce Home Secretary
Matthews TO extend clemency 10 the TWO IN
fortunate men, who. apart from their crime
of defending their common right 10 the "iil
animals of field and forest. had ordinarily
good regulations.
The newspapers demand that the game laws.
which have been the curse OF England tor
centuries. be repealed.
Two lives says one paper, nave Deen
sacrificed for miserable bird.
The London Star calls the Home Secretary
Matthews the Merciless. and declares tnat
the people of England will get even for TINS
latest outrage. There is certainly "a startling
outburst of feeling on the subject throughout
the entire country, and II cannot fail TO Affect
the next election uniavorably for the party 70
which Home Secretary Matthews belongs ana
which uphods the game laws.
1t is freely predicted that the last hanging
had taken place in England OF poachers VIC
did the killing in self-defense.
The pOachers' names were Charles kaynel
and Frederick EggestOn, and they were con
demned 10 death for the killing OF JOSEPH
Crawley and William Puddephat, game-keep
ers on an estate IN pitstone. The men me-
their fate calmly and died instantly.

SPRINGFIELD Ill, March 1s.-Another phe-
nomenal display in the heavens attracted
attention yesterday and added new terrors
10 the situation for the supersttlous. The
sun was surrounded by small halo
and on either side appeared
bright spot, OF sun dog, while passing clear
around the heavens and cutting through the
sun AT an angle of perhaps 40 degrees from
the point of vision was a bright band, show
inc in marked contrast TO the hazy clouds
with which the heavens we're mot
tied. The brilliant display OF Tuesday
evening and the curious appearance OF the
moon Tor some time past make up series OF
phenomena that are acknowledged bv old
sailors and plainsmen TO be unprecedented:
The moon on one evening this week had
on its face in large clouds perfect figure OF q
cross. ,,.
Last night it was the centre of a brilliant
auroral band. which passed upward 10 the
zenith and downward TO the horizon. SUPER
