ANTIQUITY OF MAN IN AMERICA

Sir John Evans, the new president of
the British association, has attacked
our paleolithic pTetensions. For years
| it has been thought that the state Of
New Jersey was at one time inhabit-
ed by men who were the contemporary
les of the post-glacial men of Europe.
Sir John Evans, the highest living au-
thority on the antiquity of man, tells
US the Clipped stone implements found
in the Trenton gravels are not paleo-
lithic at all, but were probably made
by the Red Indians. Such words COM
ing from so eminent an anthropolo-
gist will probably cause a re-examina-
ton of the entire subject of the Tren-
ton implements now that the ak of
scientific doubt has assailed the family
line ascendant Of The jriginal inhabi-
tants of Aemica.
Clipped flint weapons, which showed
no signs of grinding and polishing, to-
tally unlike those found at the sur
face, have been discovered at the bot
tom of thick beds of gravel in the val
ley of the Somme, at Amiens and Abb
beville. From the nature of the evil
dence these implements showed the
handiwork of man who existed after
the glacial period. On the floor of the
caves Clipped stone weapons were
found which had been overlaid by &
thick layer of stalagmite, which forms
with extreme slOwness. On the top OF
stalasmite, neOlithic are polished
stone weapons were also found. Now
between the handiwork of these two
races of man ages must have passed

sufficient for an entire change of eli
mate and fauna. 1t was at this point
OF the discourse that Sir John impug-
ned the authenticity of our glacial ped
lgree. he declared his firm conviction
that the American relics were of neo-
lithlc, and therefore of far less an
tiquity than the rudely fashioned relics
found in the valleys of the Seine and
the Somme.
If the American relics could be
shown to have been the work of peo-
pie existing shortly after the glacial
period, it is plain from their superior
Workmanship that the archaeological
man in America must have possessed
greater intelligence than the man at
the Somme valley. What initiates
against this view of the paleolithic
man in America is that implements of
similar type to those of the Trenton
drift have been found in some of the
disused quarres in which the Red In
dams fabricated their weapons.
Our own men of science have long
believed that they saw in these stones
and implements the work of men who
inhabited this continent just after the
glacial period. If, after a critical ex-
animation of the whole question, it is
decided that the weapons are paleo-
lithic and not neolithic, We can only
conclude that the development of in
telligence was more rapid on the west
ern shores of the Atlantic than on the
eastern, and there is little fear that
our native paleoliths will lack defend

What the Next Great Armed Conflict

The Civil War in the United States
turned upon slavery incidentally, nas

lay much deeper. In the same way thu

incidentally upon religion. and be per-;

ply turn out that the men who fight on
the one side will have either the con-
victiOn or the prcjudiccs of Christian
ity. or both, and that their advcrSaries
will have neither. But the struggle
will be at its height when the original
steady current of facts which led to-
inevitable strife has sunk into appar7
ent insiSniiicance under the raginS
storm OF conflicting belief and unbe-
lief.
The disadvantage OF the unbelicvers
will lie in the fact that belief is positive
and assertive, whereas unbelief Is mega
tive and argumcntative. 1t IL indeed

In life and war it is generally easier b
keep than to take, and besides, those
who believe "carc," as we say, whereas
those who deny generally "care" very
little. 1t is probable, to say the least
OF 1t, that so long as the socialists OF
the near future believe assertively that
they have discovered the means OF saw
