Scientists are again on the trail OF
the missing link" Two years ago
certain marks were found on a block
Of sandstone near Warrnambool, In
Australia, which were thought to be
the imprints Of the footsteps of a pre-.
historic man. At the time this idea
was ridiculed; but a plaster cast was
sent to Germany, and the inevitable
German savant went out to investi.
gate the matter. He now reports that,
In his opinion, they were genuine hu.
man imprints, and this. taken in con.
junction with the extraordinary hu.
man skulls to be seen in the War

show that a link between humanity
and the ape has been discovered The
Idea Of the German doctor is that at
an early day the sandstone where the
lmprlnts were found had been a great
level beach on which, perhaps, pre-.
historic men were accustomed to
camp.
