In the opinion Of Professor Upham,
the Lansing skeleton offers probably
the Oldest proof Of mans presence on
this continent, yet 1t is only third,
probably only an eighth, as old as the
flint hatchets Of st. Acheul. 1t has
been estimated that man In the Somme
Valley and other parts of France, and
in Southern England, made good pale

ago. When the earliest man came TO
America cannot probably be closely
determined. 1t may have been during
the glacial period; 1t may have been
earlier In Professor Upham's opinion
the Lansing discovery gives us much
definite knowledge of a glacial man,
dollchocephalic, low-browed and prog
nathOus, having nearly the same stat

Williston believes that the Lansing

He was travelling home in the COM
pany Of General Ralkes, Commander
in-Chief of the Zanzibar forces, and OF
Mr.. Basil Cave, the British agent and
Consul in the island. AS Sir Charles
Eliot, his Majesty's Commissioner and
Consul General in East Africa, is on
his way home on leave, it will thus
be seen that the principal British au-
thorities are absent from the scene,
and that in that respect the death Of
the Sultan occurred at an inconvenient
moment. But Mr.. Rogers, who sue
ceeded the late Sir Lloyd Mathews as
Prime Minister Of the Zanzibar Gov
ernment, was at his post and the du-
ties of agent and Consul are in the
hands of the Vice-Consul, Mr.. Kestell
Cornish. There seems to be no cause
for apprehending disturbances, Ger

It is impossible to estimate with ex'
actness the damage wrought by the
forest fires that have been raging in
Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and
Colorado already this fall. Not until
the burned territory has been thor
oughly gone over can any authorita-
tive estimate be made. 1t is probable
that the severity Of the forest fires in
the west this year will result In Sc
curing better protection through legis-
latlon, and also an extension Of the
national forest reserve system.
The greatest factor in the safety Of
the forest reserve is the stringent set
Of rules In force. acting as a preven-
tive. AS soon as person enters a
government forest reserve he finds
signs staring him In the face and in
forming him that he must not kindle
an open fire In the reserve. Every
camper is required to have a stove of
some sort. AS folding sheet-lron
stoves can be secured at small ex-
pense, this is not a hardship, as many
imagine. Sometimes this law is brok-

recent instance in the White River
forest reserve, in Colorado. proved. A
party OF clergymen were hunting and
ashing in the reserve, near the place
where President Roosevelt hunted
mountain lions. They had a folding
camp stove, and intended to comply
with the law, but after using the stove

Roanoke. Va, August 27.-It devei-
oped today that the shooting to death
Of Chief of Police Tanning, at the lit
tie mining town of Cooper, w Va, last
night as reported in an Associated
Press dispatch may have been the
work Of striking miners. \ representa-
tive of the Associated Press was ad-
vised at the general offices of the Nor
folk and Western Company today that
there has been a sudden change il the
situation in the Pocahontas Coal fields,
and that a report from one of their
special agents in the fields today is to
the effect that besides the killing OF
the chief of police at Coopers there
were several hundred shots fired at the
operations along the Crane Creek
branch in the neighborhood of the
Thomas Coal and Coke Company's and
the Crane Nest operations.
1t IS not known that any one was
wounded and il is believed this general
shooting was to intimidate the new
men who have gone into that territory
recently to take the place of the strik-
ing miners. Several Of the operations
along the Crane Creek branch. which
have been running for some time are
closed down today. The officials at
tribute this fresh outbreak to the pres

she drifted away scraped the white hull
of the Liguria and carried away the
companion ladder. The bow of the Pc
