PREHISTORIC MAN DISCOVERED IN KANSAS.

Kansas City, Missouri. They investi-
gated. Professor C. NJ. Long, curator
of the museum, went to Lansing, ex-
amined the find secured all the facts,
and then announced that the bones
were those of person who had lived
in the glacial perod, $4,000 years ago.
The Uranium was Immediately termed
the Lansing Skull" and as such is
now known to science 1t is in close
keeping at Kansas City, and is waiting
the Judgment of experts from Wash
ington.
Although Professor Long is now
convinced that proof of the existence
OF PREHISTORIC man is now secured, this
is doubted among many experts.
Among these is Professor w. S. Willis
ton, of Kansas University, who saw
the skull and who investigated the in
cidents surrounding it's discovery.
Professor Williston recently wrote
an article for scientific magazine
touching on the subject He saws
that after a careful, Investigation he
believes the skull and bones are not
those OF the ante-glacial man. This
Is based on the fact that the soil In
The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-16

which the bones were discovered is not
of the glacial type. But he concludes
that the bones are those of an abo-
rigine and. that they are very old, per-
haps thousand of years. The fact that
rock and other evidences characteristic
of the glacial period were found near
by, however, is considered to be of
great weight by others, and many be-
llove that science has at last fou I'd
what it has long been looking for-fhe
bones of man who lived upon earth
30 600 years ago.
Professor William Fl. Holmes and
Professor w. J. McGee, the latter an
ethnologist, both connected with the
Smithsonian institution, will go to
Kansas City in few days to make an
eXamination~~Pr Professor Holmes doubts
the genuineness of the discovery, but
says that if the skull and bones found
prove to be of the character indicated,
thelr value can not be overestimated
Professor Holmes, however, cites the
cases of other discoveries of a similar
character. He says that skulls and
bones, supposed at first to be those of
prehistoric man, have been found In

tests.
One sample of ore from the Meyer
mine gave results, according to reg

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 16.-Has
evidence of the existence of prehistoric
man been found in Kansas?
That is a question which is agitating
the scientists of the Smithsonian in
stitution and National museum, who
are about to make an investigation of
the alleged discovery recently an
nounced.
"A few weeks ago two men were dig
ging cave in the hillside on a farm
near Lansing. Kansas About thirty
five feet below the surface they came
across a human skeleton. They dug
out the bones piece by piece and put
them in heap alongside the entrance
to the cave. That evening, in going to
town, they told about their discovery,
but considered it of little value, appar-
emily thinking that the skeleton was
that of one of the many bands of In
dians who had inhabited the region
years before.
A few days later, however. news OF
the discovery reached the ears of the
professors at the public museum at

AFRAID OF GHOSTS
UP IN Pennsylvania
People OF a Town Thrown Into
Husterid by Appearance OF Red
Lights in Grave Yards

LEWISTOWN, Pa, Aug. f6.-The
superstitiously inclined in this COM
munity are convinced that a calamity
is impending.
Wierd light, which some OF the
residents say appeared before the dis
astrous food of 1889, have been seen
lowering between the old and the new
Episcopal cemeteries and the news has
been the chief topic of gossip, not to
say excitement
Mrs. Shoemaker, an aged resident,
first saw the lights last Wednesday.
She was coming home late from a
neighbor's house and declares that as
she neared tn old cemetery a bright
red light arose from one of the vaults
and moved slowly and impressively
out of the new cemetery and after per-
forming number of intricate evolu-
tions finally sank into the earth
The old lady ran screaming with
terror back to the neighbor's house.
The next night the climax came.
Several prominent citizens, hearing
Mrs. Shoemakers story, resolved to
look into the mystery themselves.
They gathered at the spot and before
long came upon the weird red light
out of the graveyard.
There was something about it which
made the committee forget the dignity
of its position, and the ''hants' were
soon left in possession of the locality.
Last night many more persons saw
the lights, but no one has as yet
come forward with an explanation to
allay the fears of the superstitions

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 16.-
There were important DEVELOPMENTS
on the Cuban situation today all in the
direction of evasion and postponment.
The administration is causing it
to be announced that. instead of
meeting the wishes of Cuba and call

have the Senate called until the reg

MADE I'm EXHIBIT
Sketch OF the Scheme on Which tis
Sdgs t4S Worked Twenty Years
Seams to Be Simple
Enough.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. Isl. S.
Grimes a mechanic, who born in Yell
county, Arkansas, and can barely read
and write, exhibited a perpetual mo-
ton machine in the Office of the Kan
sas City Journal last night that ran
for hours with no other power than
that furnished by the machine itself.
The invention is remarkably simple,
but it is the result of twenty years
work
Grimes first took circular piece
cut from a thick board and trimmed
down the edge to resemble a circular
sWitchback railway. In the center OF
this board he fastened a second circu-
lar board on steel post that fit into
a ball-bearing bicycle axle. To the
top board was fastened by means of
rod. a small wheel, which was SO fixed
that it would strike at each revolution
q the upper board at point near the
top of the inclined plane of the lower
board, the lower board being Slightly
inclined. Crime then placed II
weight on top of the upper disk.
placed the wheel at the top of the in
clined plane, released it, and the ma
chine began to move and continued in
motion until stopped by its inventor.
The machine is started by the wheel
running down the incline on one side.
This takes the weight on the opposite
side away from the center of gravity.
and it carries the machine around
until the wheel strikes tn top of the
incline again, when new force is inn
parted to the revolving upper disk.
Grimes says he worked for six years
before he discovered way to force
the carrier wheel over the highest
point of the circular track, although
the distance to overcome was less
than l inch.
A company is being organized 20
exploit his invention.

accepted, President Mckinley assured
the Cubans that the government would
see to it that they were given com
mercial concessions. and this was ac-
cepted by the Cuban Commissioners
as a virtual pledge and was so
regarded by Senator o. H. Platt, Sem
ator NJ. A. Hanna and Mr.. Root, Sec
retary OF War.
For the United States to object to
the Cubans making a loan, in view of
what the Cubans regard as q breach
of faith with reference to the PIatt
amendment, undoubtedly would re-
suit at this time in rupture between
the two countries.
1t is said, however. that the United
States, with justice, might exercise
its right in the matter OF this loan,
which is regarded here as larger than
the resources of Cuba can convenient

gold which gave results OF $50 ton.
Mr.. Neugarth carries on/experiments IS
without any apparatus, simply reduc-
ing the ore to a powder and subjecting
1t to the action of chemicals. His
theory IS very much like thai of Pro-
tessor Wynn. That is, that the gold
is obtained from a liquid or oily form
OF that metal. Mr.. Neubarth stands
high and does not make any attempt
to deceive the public Consequently
the discovery is considered here to be
remarkable and has created quite a
sensation.
