HAUNT OF MISSING LINK.
Traces ola Land Bridge Between Luz
on and Asia.
Or. Becker Thinks the Philippines May Haze
Been Earliest Home OF Mankind.

DR.. George F. Becker, the distin-
guished government geologst sent to
the Philippines not long ago, has just
returned to Washington with a very
interesting account of the origin of the
archipelago. But the most notable
feature of the report submitted by him
to the interior department has relation
to the presence of ancient man in Luzon
and other islands of the group His
opinion is that the apelike creature
termed the missing link may have had
its earliest haunts in those isles Of the
sea. at a time when, not less than $780,,
900 years ago, they were connected with
the mainland of Asia by a sort of land
bridge, via Borneo.
In this opinion DR.. Becker comedies
with the late Professor o. c. Marsh of
Yale University, who expressed a belief
that the Philippines were at all events.
among the earliest localities inhabited
by the human species, even if the latter
did not actually start there. The time
may have been half a million years ago,

The famous Johnstown flood Of May 81
1889, will probably soon be recalled to the
public by an attempt to reforest a large
portion Of the Conemaugh watershed to
prevent further damage from freshets
The Johnstown Water Company, which
controls 5000 acres of mountain land, has
asked the Division of Forestry to devise
plan by which the area can be recov-
cred with timber and the too rapid run
off Of the rainfall prevented. The region
is peculiarly liable to freShetS owing to
its geological character and the removal
of its timber. The now historic cataS-
trophe. which swept away $4,000 600 in
property and half as many lives as the
battle Of Gettysburg, was but an exag-
gerated instance of many similar floods.
This tendency has been increased by log

Gus farms SO that the rainfall flows

Company has bought up many of these
farms and torn down their buildings, and
now wishes to expedite their return to
the forest. The tract is in a sandstone
region, much broken, with valleys aver

perintendent Of tree planting. and anoth-

An attempt will probably be made to in

Protection from fire and cattle will also
be required. The expense will be shared

Oh, don't We think it's fun to be the

Most people don't realize how deadly
some poisons are" said the druggist as
he replaced one of the red labelled and
queerly shaped bottles on the shelf.
The discOverer of prussic acid was in
stantly killed by inhaling one Whit of
his own handiwork.
Pure prussic acid is never sold or
handled. The smell of it is always
fatal. 1t kills not in three minutes OF
half an hour. but the instant that
il enters the lungs as gas The mix
ture ordinarily sold as prussic acid is
% parts water to two parts Of the
drug. Even in this form it is very
deadly. A ~ per cent. mixture of the
acid would kill nearly as quickly as if
pure.
"Atropne. though it has no harmful
odor, is so deadly that as much of it as
would adhere to the end of a moistened
foretinger would instantly cause death.
Cyanide Of potassium has a pleasant
smell which is not injurious. but
small quantity swallowed kills at once.
Pure ammonia. if inhaled. would
cause death almost as quickly as
prussic acid.

ran away, leaving the acid to amuse it
self by setting fire to things. Soon it
