A Body From the Prehistoric Bury

In Somersetshire, England, may be
seen many "barrows,' burying places
Of prehistoric man. Long ages ago,
when the elephant and rhinoceros, the
lion and bear. the hyena and wolf, the
great elk and the reindeer were among
the common animals Of England, prim-
tive man and savage beasts lived in
caves in this region.
At the entrance to these caves the
aborigines, clad ia skins. kept fires
burning for warmth and for protection
from the wild beasts. 1t was here that
they made flint hatchets, knives and
arrowheads. Not long ago a trench
was being dug within the mouth Of one
Of these caves for the purpose Of drain
ing
1t was found necessary to break up 3
stalagmite floor Of two thick layers.
Between the layers was a deposit Of
cave earth and stones, in which was
discovered the skeleton Of a man Of
very great antiquity in an excellent
state Of preservation. With it were
found several flint knives and fakes.
Experts who made a careful examina-
ton Of the skull, which has projecting
brows and receding frontal bone, have
decided that it belongs to the stone age
aud is Of a type intermediate between
the paleOlithic and neolithic ages.
Apparently the body had been placed
in a small passage leading of from the
great passages to the stalactite caves
and had been prevented from disturb
ance by stones piled around ii. The
stalagmite door had formed over II all,
efectually preserving It to the present
day.-Harper's Weekly.

THE PRESIDENTS
BIRTHDAY BROUGHT STRENUOUS
TIMES AT SEA
Aroused In His sleep Roosevelt Com.
mande the Ship Which Had Col
Ilded With Another, Lives
Being In Peril.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 27.-In an ef-
fort to avoid running aground at a
sharp turn In the Mississippi river, 30
miles below here, the British fruiter
Esparta of the United Fruit Co.'s fleet
collided with the lighthouse tender
Magnolia, which was conveying Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb and Dr.
Rixey to the cruiser West Virginia, ly-
ing at anchor awaiting the Presidents
arrival, three miles off the mouth OF
the river. The accident occurred at II
o'clock last night in a bright moon
light and almost cost the President his
life. He only escaped while clad in
his pajamas, with e biting wind al
most chilling him to the bone.
Mr.. Roosevelt and the members Of
his party we're finally transferred to
the Ivy, sister ship of the Magnolia,
at 5 o'clock this morning. She was
preceding the presidential craft and
was ordered back up the river to take
the President TO the West Virginia.
A hole four feet long was stove in
the Magnolia's port bow, extending one
| foot above the water line. The boats
starboard railing was also carried away
and most of the Magnolia's windows
were shattered.
That the President or some one else
was not drowned is miraculous and due
to the remarkable presence of mind of
Mr.. Roosevelt. The strenuous day he
| spent in New Orleans the day preced-
| ing the accident fatigued him so much
| that he retired two hours after leaving
the city for the trip to the gulf. He
was sound asleep in a stateroom well
forward. The Esparta's Prov crashed
through the Magnolias bow within a
foot or two of where the President was
sleeping The force and noise Of the
collision was so great that he was al
most thrown out of bed. The alarms
were given, and the officers made q
rush for his stateroom, feeling that he
was in danger.
President Roosevelt's coolness wa:
so pronounced that Col. Sears ant
him ready to get away. Mr.. Roosevelt
hastily drew on his trousers, and, ar.
rayed in a pajama, shirt and slippers
he sailed forth on deck. He gave or
ders to run the Magnolia on bank tc
beach her and prevent her from sink
ing in probably 200 feet of water. AT
ter the ship was put in a safe position
he assured himself that there was NJ
further danger, and in his customar.
disregard for personal safety, 'aeliber
ately went back to bed, after remark
ing that this was strenuous birthda,
for him, as he was Al years old today.
