Salomon Reinach has recently con-
tributed to pAnthropologie an inter-
ssting article on the tin trade OF pre-
historic Europe. in which he states
that 1000 years B. G. there was an al
most exclusively overland trade be-
tween the British Islands and Thrace
and Macedonia. That there were
such commercial relations between
Britain and Europe and Asia is shown
by the diffusion of tin and bronze
weapons and various utensils which
have been studied by archeologists.
Allusions to Celtic names and facts
are also recorded of the time of 800

According to Investigations by N.
G.. Rothsehild. who is engaged in the
scientific study Of heas and their
habits, there il, evidence showing that
there was originally direct land con-
nection between Australia and South
America, inasmuch as certain flea
has been found in Argentina which
has hitherto been represented by
certain species in Australia. The
Argentine flea, which has helmet
like shield covering tho head, is found
on the rat, and has been Professionally
assigned to genus represented
hitherto by n single Australian .speci-
men. Whether the two specimens in
question belong to the same genus or
not may be open to question, but at
any rate they are closely allied, and
it is difficult to see how they could
have occurred in their respective To-
calities unless there had been some
means of direct communication.
While such O circumstance of itself
does not prove that there was land
connection between Australia and
South America. yet it serves to con-
firm other evidence indicating that
such was the case.

1Beat Frenchman at His own Feat.

Bssle, Switzerland, was visited last
year by an adventurous Frenchmsn,
whose ruling passion is the ascent Of
mountains stunned by most other
tourists who value at least their
soundness of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the Gopaltenborn, for
the sake of carving his name upon the
peak; but all his efforts were in vain.
This year he returned to the attack,
and eventually, by taking many pre-.
cautions, arrived at the Summit. On
his next appearance at the table
d'hcte he recounted his exploit to the
company, and informed them that he
planted on the spot q blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered in
large characters. +

silently, rose from the table and
and marched out Of the hotel. Two
days afterwards parcel was delivered
to the adventurous Gaul. He opened
it, and found inside his blue silk flag,

reason why it isn't, however, and a
good one, For months prior to De

A WHITE CARNATION FLOWER

He was only a newsboy, and a dirty
and ragged one at that, but under his
torn jacket there glowed a spark Of
chivalry.
One night, when Miss Alice Rea, as
she was hurrying for her train, drop
ped a bundle of papers from her muff,
he sprang at once to her assistance.
with a quick I'll pick EN- up, Miss,
he gathered them together, brushed
off the dust and handed them to her,
with queer little grab at his dilapi-

Thank you, little fellow she said;
won't you have one of my fowers?"
and selecting one from a large bunch
of white carnations which she carried
she put it into his hand, and then
passed quickly ON.
BbbDy gazed at the flower with a
look of amazement, which soon chang

maggie was his sister, who shared
with him the two rooms in wretched

So he buttoned it up carefully I'M
der his jacket, and that night the fair
white blossom displayed its splendors
to the happy eyes of Maggie.

that picked UP the papers for me last
night"
That night Bobby was on the look
out, and his vigilance was not in vain.
for when Miss Rea passed him she
smiled pleasantly; the young man in
the brown ulster was with her again,
and he, too, gave Bobby careless lit
tie nod.
Bobbys eyes were bright as he went
homeward, and Maggie met him at the
door with a face as happy as his own.

ed Mrs. OBrien my flower this after
noon, and she said if | kent in water
maybe it would grow roots. because
it's got such a long stem and so many
leaves to it,
Sure enough, after a few days of
careful watching and tending, tiny
white roots appeared; then Maggie
filled an old can with earth, and the
little slip was gently placed in it. 1t
grew and hourished, and with it the
friendship between Bobby, the flower

man in the brown ulster increased
