JAPAN'S POETESS LAUREATE.
Seisko, Seventy-Three Years Old,
Holds the Race Against All
Competitors.

The crowned poet" 20 the court OF
the mikado is a woman. The post Is
equivalent 10 that of our poet laureate,
but is much more difficult one 10 fill,
for the modern japanese are the most
merciless critics in all that concerns lit
erary matters, says the Chicago Trib-
une.
In spite of these disadvantages the
accomplished poetess contrives 10 hold
her own successfully against all rivals,
and the annual poem which she has
ready with commendable punctuality
for the new year is always looked for
ward to by all those subjects Of the
mikado who make the smallest claim
10 culture, and is often far more eager
~ discussed than IA serious political
crisis would be in any other country.
"Seisko," for that is the poetess lau-
reates's name, is no longer "A young

OF 70. She is, however, in spite of the
fact Of her being herself a little bit of a

recently been imported into Japan

THE NEANDERTHAL SKELETON
Virchow, the German Scientist, Dis
credited IL I'm the Eyes of
Many Scientists.

The famous Neanderthal skeleton was
discovered in 1857 in a cave in the val
ley of q small stream near Dusseldorf,
on the same level with bones of the ex.
tinct cave bear. says the American An
thropologist. The workmen who exca.
waited il, not knowing its value, only
saved the larger bones and the skull.
The frontal prominences are enormous,
producing a great overhanging supra.
orbital ridge, entirely unlike anything
ordinarily seen in the skulls of to-day,
and reminding one strikingly of the
skulls of the higher apes. II was de.
clared by Huxley to be by far the most
ape-like skull that had hitherto been
discovered. The remaining bones Of
the skeleton indicated man of I'M
usually powerful frame.
A very forcible attack was made upon
the normal character Of this skeleton
by Virchow, who pointed out that there
are in II unmistakable signs of the
rheumatic affection known as thrills
deformans, and that this not infre-
quently led, when Of very marked
type, 10 deformity of the skull SINH
lar to that shown in these remains.
This statement, made by the great au-
thority OF one Of the foremost pathology
zeal anatomists of the time, has been
sufficient to discredit the skull In the
eyes OF many anthropologistA

While the hare run the 100 yards the
tortoise would gain fresh start of ten
yards. While the hare cleared this off.
