The Tempter Won.

When the late BARON Nordenskjold
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast OF
Siberia. he received a telegram from
the Russian government asking him
whether he would accept from the car
q certain decoration rs an appreciation
Of his services to Russia. For many
days the famous explorer wavered. as
he was q member Of B%jorsterne BjOrn-
sons An%tidecoration club. whose mem
bers were solemnly pledged never to
accept any decoration from anybody.
Nordenskjold. however. could not re-
slst the temptation. so he replied to the
telegram In the affirmative.
1t iE not hard to imagine his dlsap-
pOintment when. upon reaching home,
q friend OF his. a high official. told him
the following: THE Russian govern
ment was well aware Of your 0ntago-
nistIc views In regard to decorations
and had. therefore. placed in readiness
100000 rubles to be paid you In the
event Of your refusing to accept the
insignia. but before paying that sum
they wanted to try your irmnPss. Rus
sia Is certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge"

had been girdled by railways and the
breech- loading rife had done it's work.
There, for days, countless herds OF
bison, stretching as far as the eye
could reach, have been noted from the
same standpoint. So late as the fixing
of the boundary of the British Domin-
ion and the United States, the commits
sioners were surrounded in their en-
campment, and literally mobbed by the
bison. There Is, therefore, no ground
for wonder that the remains of the
wild animals should occur in Britain
in vast numbers, in the deposits OF
rivers, and in the accumulations left
behind in the dens of beasts of prey.
The River-drift hunter, like the red In
dian of America followed the trail Of
the animals on which he lived in their
misrations. He probably first arrived
in the British Isles with the southern
beasts, the lion and the hippopotamus,
from the Mediterranean, passing over
the plains of France into the region of
the British Isles.
Mierntion with Seasons.
At the fall of the leaf with the first
frosts OF the winter. which were nee
essarily severe from the continental
conditions, the pendulum of migration
swung southwark, as is the case now
in the great plains of North America
and Northern Asia. Innumerable
herds of reindeer, musk sheep, ana
others, driven from their pastures far
Their to the north, occupied the feeding
grounds OF the summer visitors, and
ranged as far south as the Alps, the
Mediterranean, and the Pyrenees. In
this manner the remains Of both north
ern and southern groups OF wild beasts
OCCUR in the same deposits, so intermin-
gled together that II is impossible to
follow James Gelkie and Wallace in
referring them to separate geological
periods. The river-drift hunter, in
this country and in France, lived on
both these groups, while In Spain and
Italy he was perforce limited TO the
southern animals.
We must now consider the relation
OF the river-drift man to the glacial
period. Is he pre-glacial, glacial, or
post glacial? II is necessary, first OF
all, TO define our terms. At the be-
ginning of the Pleistocene age the tenn
perature became lowered In the north,
and the galciers gradually crept down
from the higher mountains OF Europe
and occupied the lower lands, ranging
from Scandinavia TO the estuary OF the
Severn.
A line drawn from Bristol due east
through London, and prolonged still
further 10 the east through the plains
OF Germany, was the approximate
southern limit Of this iee-covered re-
zion, which finds II analogue to-day In
Greenland. The glaciers descended,
too. from the Alps far down into the
lower grounds Of France, Italy and
Germany. The volcanic mountains OF

Atlantic beat upon a shore line (marked
in the soundings by the l00-fathom

cay almost due north in the direction
of Norway: then separated from the
British area by a deep narrow ford
close to the Scandinavian coast.
This formed the western boundary of

The rivers of Southern England, in
Guiding the Severn, united with those

Auvergne were crowned with snow
fields and glaciers, and the Pyrenees
formed an Ice clad barrier between
France and Spain. The marks of this
development OF ice are unmistakable in
the British Isles. The rounded iceworn
contours, the grooved and scored sur
faces of the rocks, and the transport
ed blocks, sometimes conveyed very
long distances, cannot fail to arrest at
tention in the lake country, Scotland,
and in Ireland.
Changed with Seasons.
This period of the ice sheet was fol-
lowed in the British Isles. as Lyell has
pointed out, by the depression OF the
land which increased northwards, until
1t was 1,400 feet near Macclesfeld be-
low the existing sea level. This re-
duced the British Isles to the condition
of cluster Of arctic islands, similar
TO those north Of Baffin's bay, sep
arated from one another by tracts of
sea, covered with floating icebergs. The
melting OF these icebergs has resulted
in the formation OF the clays with
powders, occupying so large an area
In the existing plains, such as the plain
OF Lancashire, and that sweeping
through the eastern counties to the
Scotch border. Some of the blocks of
stone in these areas have been traced
to the lake country and the Highlands
of Scotland, where they had been,
picked up by the glaciers then descend
ing down TO the sea.
This period OF submergence was fol-
lowed by a re-elevation of the land,
during which the climate became
warmer, and the submerged portion of
Britain was again brought into contact
with the continent. The climate, how
ever was sufficiently cold to allow of
the presence OF glaciers on the higher
hills. On the continent there is no evil
dence Of any such submergence south
of the aforementioned line. While all
these complicated changes In climate
and geography were going on In Britain
and in Northern Germany, the LOVELY
ing land Of Middle and Southern Eu-
rope offered a refuge to the animals,
and, II may be added, 10 the plants,
driven southwark by severity of cli-
mate and the depression of the land
beneath the sea.
With these facts before US the ques-
ton can be answered. The river-drift
implements. found along with the re-
mains OF the aforementioned animals,
in river deposits clearly later than the
bowlder clays. at Hoxne, in Suffolk, at
Peterborough and Bedford, and In the

There his implements haye been

In other words, he lived in the dis

very likely that Prof. Philips view,
that the caves in the glaciated area of

Of ascertaining his relation to the gla-
cial period, because all glacial deposits
are conspicuous by their absence.
From all the foregoing facts we may
conclude that the River-drift hunter
lived on the continent before any gla-
cial phenomena were manifested in
the British area, and that he ar
rived here, following the migrating
bodies OF animals northward, before
the extreme severity of the glacial cold
was felt. He may have observed the
gradual creeping downward of the ice
from the mountains into the lowlands
and have been driven. like the animals
which he hunted, to take refuge in
the low-lylng districts of middle Eu-
rope and Southern England.

When Mr.. Bacon was on his trip to
the Philippines he stopped at the Island
of Ceylon, and while there was shown
a camp of Boer prisoners. Always an
earnest supporter of the Boer cause,
he was anxious to see and talk with
the men who had suffered so much for
liberty. The British officers did not
object to his visit to the prison camp,
but they would not consent to any
conversation. Mr.. Bacon, therefore,
contented himself with merely raising
his hat to the poor fellows and show
ing his sympathy by hearty hand
shake. In one part of the camp, how
ever, was young Boer girl who had
for sale some cowrie shells. These are
rather rare products of nature, so rare
indeed that they are used as a sort of
primitive money. Mr. Bacon bought
a handful of the shells as a modest
contribution to the Boer cause, and
when he reached Japan had them
mounted as scarfpins. One of the
unique shells is worn by him daily, and
every time that he looks at II he re-
members the suffering Beers.
The pin looks like a pearl. except
that upon the under side is the open
ing which shows its sheil-like nature.
