OF money from the treasury OF various
corporations to the pockets Of the
stockholders. The day has been
specially busy one at the office OF the
Utah Sugar company at the Deseret
News building. The double dividend
amounting TO Acc per share or nearly

THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN.

Sir John Evans dealt with the an
tqulty OF man. with special reference
TO the stone age In Egypt, In n prcsl-
dental address delivered by him at the
birmingham and Midland institute last
evening. He said that forty years ago
the almost universal belief OF those who
had but supcrnclaiiy approached the
question was that "a literal intcrpretn-
ton was to be placed ON the opening
chapters OF the Book OF Genesis. and
that the chronology OF Archbishop
Usher and others In fixing the creation
OF man at the var 1901 u. c. was beyond
all reasonable question. II was not un-

our present Views as to the northern
limits OF the existence OF such implc-
mcnts would have to be materially nod
lied. and the area over which dlscov-
cries OF this character were made might
be considerably extended. Assuming
that the occupation OF the earth by man
had been continuous. there must at
some time or other have been n transit

ture Of the neollthlc. but OF such transit

part Of Europe. at all events. there ap-
pcared to be "a great gulf Fixed" which
at present II was impossible TO bridge
over In a satisfactory manner.
