1T is established beyond question, -
said Dr. Manouvrier, that trepanninS,
even to-day a delicate operation, was
not only known in prehistoric times
but was practiced far more extensive
ly than nowadays. Before trepanning,
surgeons must have known of other
operations, the traces of which have
disappeared, like the wooden tools
and arms which preceded stone. Am
putations and bone-setting required
less imagination and certainly no
more skill than certain openings in
skulls whose perfection is simply
amazing. Men able to do such work
could not be disconnected by small
operations. AS for dressing wounds,
they must have understood the art
perfectly, for trepanning requires very
complicated dressings"
And" was suggested, these mar
velous prehistoric operations were fol-

suits of modern surgical achievements,

operation of trepanning successfully
performed, but the patient lived long
enough afterward for the bones to
knit together and cicatrise, that is,
several years at least. On this other
skull the evidences are the#same.

adage that there's nothing new I'M

Police Seek a Clue to the Where
abouts of the Three
Youngsters.
MOTHER STRICKEN

Mrs. Wilmot, neTve-racked and anx-
ious. came into Police Headquarters
about II O'Clock last night and reported
that three Of heE children were missing
from their home at 1916 Prospect street
northwest. The last time the children
had been seen was about u o'clock in
the afternoon. when tbey were playing
In front of their home.
Tnc three children range from thirteen
TO six years of age. and the mother IS
nearly distraught with grief over their
strange disappearance. When they were
last seen. Katie. thirteen years of age,
wore pink dress and was barefoot
James, aged nine years. wone pink and
white Jacket, and Marie. ged six years,
wore a sailor suit and was barefoot.
The police have used every effort to
find the three children. but as yet they
have not been successful
Mrs. Wilmot said that she had sis
ter who lived in Riverdaie. and the po-
lice are trying TO communicate with her
to see If the children have been there.
If the children are now a their aunt s
home the question arises, how did they
get there? They had not cent of
money. and must either have been taken
there or walked all the way.

A summary has been shown to me of
a letter from the President to a Russian
official. The President said lie would
deeply regrtS the failure of the nego-
tiations AT Portsmouth. He was a good
friend of Russia He did not believe the
differences between Russia and Japan
were irreconcHiable. He added:
Russia must not forget that she has
been beaten; that Japan is flushed with
victory and deserves some compensation
for her losses In the Presidents opin-
ion the concessions which Russia has
made cannot satisfy Japan. He therefore
thinks Russia should accept the COM
promise Japan has offered.
Partially Charged.
OF which the effect was different from
what the President had anticipated 1t
was said at once that he had ranged
himself on the side of Japan. The let
ter was cabled TO St. Petersburg and
produced, I learn, a similar impression
there. An answer went forth 10 the
President denying that Russia was beat
en- and urging that Russia had already
made every possible concession.
The instructions Of the Car are pos
tive. He forbids us 10 cede part OF
Sakhalin or pay any indemnity what
ever"
We are not yet allowed to know what

sador on Wednesday. The President
