AntIuuity of Mnu,

From n review In Science Of De Nor
tlllet's great work on prehistoric times
the following is condensed. Twelve
chapters are devoted TO the question Of
tertiary man. Ii is concluded that
while man did not exist during this
period, precursors Of man more intelli-
gent than any Of the living anthropoids
did exist.
Pithecanthropus erectus is consider
ed as the immediate precursor of man.
The Calaveras skull Is rejected. The
naleolithic period Is considered as cor
/. -~ to the early quarternary.
responuins assigned as the
anu ZZZ,OoU years Ia ...,-
length OF this period. Add to this n....
Der 10000 years for the p~rotohlstorIo
and neollthic ,nar'"'-
.,.s and G,000 years
..yre for the historic period, and we
have 23S,O00 years, which Is, according
10 the authors, n moderate estimate or
mans antiquity.

exclaimed a nervous looking man as he
rushed up TO the bar in a Broad street

do, he poured n little into the palms OF
his hands, rubbed them together and
buried his nose In his hands. lie gave
long drawn shifts of inhalation until
the liquor had evaporated and then
poured more from the glass into his
hands. This operation he repeated I'M
Ill the glass was empty. Then he paid
for his drink and went out with n look
Of contentment on his face.
