It has been recently noted, especially in
the dahlia and the chrysanthemum, what
incidentally German author, Hildebrand.
has some years ago adverted to. that certain
forms Of flowers follow the sexual differ
ences. In most composite, for instance,
the ray fiorets Of the tubular character are
hermaphrodite-have stamens and pistils
in the same flower. This is notably the
case in the dahlia and chrysanthemum- The
ray forets are strap shaped and are female
only. But under the hand Of the florist
double dahlias and double chrysanthemums
are given to US, the doubling being in these
cases nothing more than changing the tubu-
lar fioret into a strap shaped one
But the purely pistillate condition fol-
lows the regulate eorolla, and a purely
double dahlia has the whole flower consist
Of pistils only, the stamens having wholly
disappeared with the tubular iorets- Just
why these coincidents should exist has not
yet been explained by vegetable biologists.
More attention is now being given to these
subjects than formerly, as 1t Is believed
their study will throw much light on the
laws which regulate the production Of the
separate sexes In howers.-New York hide

Sixty thousand Yea-z Ago
Texas has bad its cid settlers stretching
away back toward the dawn OF creation, the
hens o. whose garments tradition does not

full Of wild adventure as that 81 any Indian
or Mexican fighter that has ever adorned
the pages Of Texas history One OF those
old settlers was found about 10 days ago By
d. ID. Pittman while digging well on his
lot on Thomas avenue. Dallas.
At depth Of 81 feet below the surface,
and after blasting through stratum Of
limestone four feet thick, Mr. Pittman
found human skeleton in the poster
tiary sands. The skull, finger bones and
other thin bones, on being brought Ia con-
tact with the atmosphere. crumbled away
20 powder, but some OF the larger bones
stood the test Of atmospheric exposure,
and. beyond the crumbling Of the articular
surfaces, are In a good state Of preservation
This is particularly the case with the thigh
bone.
1t In all other respects resembles the
thigh bone OF modern man except az TO its
anatomical neck, which DIR. Armstrong.

like that OF the present race. However, a.
nature adapts itself to its surroundings, IL
IS 70 be expected that there was some diff
ference between the fore and aft movement
OF the thigh bone that was In use 60,000
years ago and that Of the present time

that Of man OF medium height, Is only II
inches long, which would represent a man
about 4 feet 2 inches high, OF about the
stature Of an Eskimo. and taken In connec
ton with the geological formations, those
Of the second glacial period, in which the
skeleton was found there Is hardly any
doubt but that 1t belongs TO the Eskimo
race.
