Geological Mouth OF Grand River.
In the American Journal of Science
Mr.. Nudge says that while the present
mouth of the Grand River is at Grand
Haven on Lake Michigan. there is an
other point 20 miles inland from the
shores OF Lake Michigan WI ich was the
termination of the old river valley and
is therefore its mouth In an Interesting
sense. He declares that at one time q
great glacial river, thrcc-fourths of a
mile in width. flowed across the penin-
sula from Lake Saginaw TO Lake Chica-
go. Long ago the sources Of this glacial
river (Which has been called the
Pewamo outlet) failed ard the wide val
ley with its record bearing deposits
was laid bare TO give up its secrets TO
the inquisitive geologist. Mr.. Nudge

 Grave consequences cannot be defer red much longer. The whole province Is armed, and matters are rapidly drift ing into open revolution. The people are drilling for the coming struggle; the country is virtually in a state of siege, Turkish troops have been pouring into most of the disturbed districts, they are concentrating chiefly in the north, and endorsements are arriving daily.
 There Is widespread impression throughout the land that momentous events are impending. There is a gener- Is at an absolute standstill, and the Ot- tomans are preparing in grim, deadly earnest, because they are convinced that Bulgaria is at the bottom of the troubles in Macedonia and will certain iy actively support the expected rising. encouraged by Russian influence.

RAILROAD SIGNAL LIGHTS.
Proposed Adoption of the English System oE American Roads.

Proposed Adoption of the English
 System oE American Roads.
 Among American railroad men there has been a controversy extending over many years as to the desirability of ac- cepting the English system of night signals in place of the American. At present a white light displayed along the line of an American railroad signi- fies safety, all we'll, while a red light signifies danger, look out" and a green light "caution, go slow" These are the established signals, the red be- ing the most conspicuous, and therefore the best adapted for the purpose of se- curing immediate attention. On Eng fish roads the red light is in use in cases of danger. but instead of a white light for safety green light is used. and instead of green light for caution a yellow light is used, the three English railroad colors being red, green and yell low instead of red, white and green, used for like purposes among American railroad men.
 The proposed change from the exist ing American to the current English system has been discussed, recommend ed, opposed and experimented upon for q number of years, with the result of an apparent agreement among railroad men that white is not a suitable color for signal It is indistinct and is sub- ject to two other objections-its sim ilarity to ordinary lights used for illumi- nation and the fact that railroad lam tern, if broken, gives out white light. If, therefore, as is argued, a red lantern should be broken on ore side and the glass should fall out, it would emit white light which would indicate safety to the engineer. whereas the real sig nificance of the signal was danger-the exact contrary. Recently the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road has made change in its night signals in accordance with the English system, and it is gradually putting it into operation on the various divisions of the road. The management of the New Haven, which is one of the great. est passenger carrying systems in the world, has been making study of the question of signals and has adopted this new system after long series of exreri- ments by experts. A green light is easier seen at night than white one, and yellow shows very we'll in the dark and is easily distinguishable along the road. Moreover. since the adoption of the modern method of electric lighting on passenger cars white is the general color for such interior illumination, an additional reason why it should be dis carded for signal purposes, The objec- tion to the charge, however, comes from the fact that railroad men from long usage have become accustomed to the present American system and that some confusion might perhaps result from the attempt to substitute one light for another without general knowledge of the change.

What was the favorite food of pre- historic mani According to Dr. Matieg- ka of Prague, it was his brother. In learned article in the miscellany of the Anthropological society of Vienna be proves from an examination Of some prehistoric remains at Knovizc, in Bo- hemia, that the people who buried them were cannibals, not from need. but from choice, and that they preferred the flesh of their own relatives, especially if young and tender, to that of their ene- mics. He also contends, and most an thropologists seem to agree with him. that the eating of human flesh was in prehistoric times spread all over Europe, the practice being first induced by scarcity of other food. next by prefer ence. and was finally persisted in for religious, or rather ceremonial, reasons. The flesh was in every case prepared by cooking, sometimes with the juice of oranges and lemons. s.-Pall Mall Gazette,

M'klSSON DEFEATED.
John Farley (Dem.) Elected Mayor of
 Cleveland. N


 Cleveland. D. t At Cleveland John H. Farley (Dem.) has been elected mayor over Robert P. McKisson (Rep). the present in- cumbent, by plurality of about $500. The first returns indicated a much greater victory for Farley, but his plu- rality was cut down by later returns. The remainder of the Republican ticket. including city treasurer. police judge, police prosecutor, justice and four members of the school council, elected at large, will have substantial plurali- ties. The Republicans will control the city council.
 McKisson's defeat was due to the de- lection of Republicans, who voted against him because of his bolt of Sem ator Hanna and his party during the contest before the legislature a year ago last winter. The whole ticket suf- fered somewhat on account of the op- position to McKisson, but not enough to defeat any of the other candidates. The election was orderly in most respects. The vote was very heavy, and the count was somewhat delayed. but prac- tioally all the returns were in at mid night.
