STONE AGE MAN FOUND.
Cave Dwelier Buried with Flint
Knives for Spirit World.

~ SR"" vveit4s
The skeleton of a cave dweller, who
hourtshed somewhere between the old
stone age and the new-anywhere be-
tween fifty n a hundred millions Of
years ago-has just been found in one
OF the famous ave at Cheddar, says
the London Express.
Just within the entrance of the cave
owned by Mr.. Cough there existed I'M
til a few days ago a low-vaulted pass
age, which led toward "a hole opening
out into a waterflled chamber.
To drain the further end of the cave
Mr.. Cough had a trench cut to the
water hole, and in doing 70 two layers
OF stalagmite had to be cut through.
Between them was ave earth, and
in this earth was found the skeleton
of a man of enormous antiquity which
the stalagmite had kept in an almost
perfect state of preservation.
The bones of the leg exhibit the
hattening characteristic of the men
of this remote period. The thick
frontal bone of the skull and the bony
projections over the eye sockets also
add their testimony, while measure
ments made by st. George Gray. the
well known paleontologist. give the
mans height as 5 feet 90 inches.
Beside the skeleton we're found. laid
with great care near the hands. a
number of flint flakes n knives, in
dicating that the man, probably a
headman of his day, had been cere-
m%oniously inferred and provided with
all that he would need in the spirit
world.
1t is probable that great numbers of
such interments may be uneartued in
this famous stone-age area, which EN-
braces Cheddar, Workey Hole. Elybor

Cradle That Cost Paris $50, 900.

An interesting gift just presented
to the Musee Carnavaiet is the cradle
of the Prince Imperial. The cradle
was the gift of the city of Paris to
the Empress Eugenie in 1856. De-
signed by Ballard, it is OF rosewood,
and takes the shape of a ship. At
the prov figures the imperial eagle,
and at the stern rises an categorical
statuette in silver representing the
city of Paris, and holding aloft a
crown from which the curtains hang.
No fewer than three artists collabor-
ated in the construction of the cradle,
which cost the city of Paris 100000
francs.

Never Despair.

Fight your way on through each storm
and ~priyation:
Make of each barrier n power to upltft.
Zen as the vine in its dark desolation
Throws out its arms to each bright sun
ny rift.
Making a ladder Of weed and of bush.
Up which to heaven 1t may struggle and
push.
Fight your way on through each grief
and each burden:
Sweet are the blossoms which patience
unfolds:
Time in its archives guards safely thy
guerdon;
Tighten thy tendrlls which faith sweet
ly holds.
Dark though the day be, and darker the
night,
Never a darkness but yielded to light!

The Jewish outlook., 1906-06-15


only sanctioned by custom?
10. Is military service compatible
with the religious beliefs of the Jews?
II. Does Jewish law forbid the Jews
to take usury from their brethren?
12. Does it forbid, or does it allow, us
ury in dealing with strangers?
After the formal business had been
concluded a commission was appointed
by the assembly to consider the questions
and PROFOUND suitable replies This
small committee set to work in a busl-
ness-like manner, and in five sessions the
deliberations were concluded and the re-
plies framed. These were very lengthy
and ingenious, showing that the rabbls
had not studied the dialectics Of the Tai
mud in vain, and dealt with the points
involved seriatum. They opened with
general declaration that the Jewish law
is divided into two well-marked and
clearly-defined portions-the religious
and the political; the former is absolute
and independent Of time and circum-
stances, the latter only applied to the
Jewish theocracy as it had existed under
it's kings. This was now, by virtue OF
the destruction Of that state, abrogated,
though only complete sanhedrin could
determine the consequences OF the con-
ditions that had since arisen, but such
an assembly had not met since the entire
dispersion. This suggested to Napoleon
the next step. He at once resolved to
summon grand sanhedrin in Paris to
convert the opinions Of the assembly OF
notables into dOctrinal laws. Arrange
ments were speedily made for this new
fad of the Emperor, who. gave orders
that this body, which should be 1.-The
most legal representation of the Jewish
nations" should conform in every par
ticular to the ancient model. The 9th OF
February, 1907, witnessed this curious
resurrection of the time-honored judicial
and legislative assembly Of Judea. But
when it met it found that it had very
little business to transact. The ques-
tions, or more correctly the conundrums,
propounded by the emperor had already
been amply answered by the assemb y.
There remained nothing more for the
sanhedrin to do than confirm the opin-
ions Of their predecessors. This was in
deed an easy task. Polygamy, they de-
clared, had been prohibited in all Chris
tian countries where Jews lived by the
Synod Of Worms, that had assembled un-
der the presidency Of Rabbi Gershon in
the year 479O A. M. 1O30 G. E.); in
matter relating to divorce they fol-
lowed the civil codes of the countries
they dwelt in, and dissolutions of mar
riage were only valid if decreed by

Fifty of Palma's threescore and ten
years have been given to the conflict
over political independence in Cuba.
In revolution his fortune was swept
away, for revolution he suffered
in political prison and then became an
exile, supporting himself as a teacher
in an American town. Entering the
revolution Of 1858 as a boy, he fought
bis way to position Of such impor-
lance that in the seventies he was
chosen president Of the republic. Spain
finally conquered the rebellion, and
Palma was forced into exile. For
twenty years he continued the agita-
ton, which ended in his recall to the
presidency of new republic in 1902.

Joe Chamberlain Out

The retirement Of Joseph Chamber
lain from political activity leaves the
Unionist party in worse predicament
than the Liberal party was placed in
when he abandoned Gladstone's cause
twenty years ago. To him were due
the Unionist triumphs for the years
following his change of heart. The
Unionists feared Chamberlain, but
they needed him. In the end his poll
cies brought their party to grief.
Chamberlain's retirement is due to
i'll health, and, in the language of the
street, ''that is no bluff" He gained
the place Of eminence coveted, over
threw Gladstone and supplanted Bal
four. Yet he was not fated to enjoy
for any length Of time the leadership
gained by the sacrifice Of principles
and friendships. By the irony Of for
tune his health tripped him at the very
moment when his last rival was swept
from his path. It will be remembered
that he declared at the last election his
purpose to continue the fight in spite
Of the general defeat Of his party. The
will was there, but the physical
strength was lacking. Possibly he
may be again heard of in parliament,
for, like Chatham, he may seek to die
in harness and let bis once powerful
voice sink into silence in the midst of
speech bidding defiance to the oppo-
sition. If that is to be the climax of
the drama the hour cannot be far dis
tant.

Long Distance Storm Warning.

0SSSsSAASS
At least three whole days before the
violent storm of September reached the
gulf littoral shipping interests and resi-
dents along the coast had been warn
ed Of it's approach. So accurately had
the weather observers handled the sit
uation that twentyfour hours in ad-
vance they announced that the more
violent portion of the disturbance
would strike Pensacola and the adj
jacent coast of Florida.
The Importance Of extending the Pc
Rod in which forecasts may he made
needs no emphasis in view Of the re-
cent experience on the gulf coast and
the exceptional advantages agriculture
lists have enjoyed for a number of
years. Losses in the great gulf storm
would have been much greater but for
the timely and accurate warnings Civ
en- by the weather bureau.
The announcement from Washington
that the United States weather bureau
will soon have data almost daily upon
which to compute representations
from several new points in the north
temperate zone merely indicates a fur
therance of general plan of perfect
ing system Of long distance forecast
ing. 1t is stated that arrangements
have been made to secure regularly
meteorological data from Sitka, Cape
Nome, Dawson City, Mukden, Petro-
pavlovslz, Irkutsk, Moscow aid st. Pc
tersburg and that these arrangements,
when worked out according to the bu-
reau's plans, contemplate the compile
ton Of a belt which will reach around
the world. Forecasters will be put in
possession Of certain data, gathered
from all parts of the north temperate
zone, which will enable them to more
efectually guard against heavy losses
frequently inflicted by sharp, unex-
pected and hitherto unexplained
changes in temperature. The element
Of surprise in the weather will thus be
eliminated, and this will mean more
adequate protection against heavy
financial losses in those sections Of the
country where the temperature must
needs be watched with tender solicit
tude.

With all their acknowledged thrift,
there's nothing that the French people
enjoy more than a lottery. It catches
them every time, whether it is attached
to government or municipal loan or
a less responsible authority. The latest
ingenious adaptation of it appears to
have been the invention of a Paris
landlord, who holds a quarterly lottery
among his tenants. Three winning tick
cts draw quarters rent free. The re-
suit is that his fat houses are always
full.

China's War on Opium.

In view Of the long struggle Of the
Chinese people against legalized
opium traffic, the recent imperial edict
on the subject is Of deep interest to
the masses Of the American people.
The new law was inspired by the
recommendations of commission
which investigated the conditions pre-
railing throughout the empire and pro-
vides for the abolition of the use Of
opium, both foreign and native, in Chi
ma within ten years.
AS far back as the beginning of last
century the Chinese government de-
sired to rid the country Of the curse of
opium. Before 1867 the import of
opium had rarely exceeded 200 chests,
but in that year it amounted to 1000.
By 1900 it had increased so alarming
ly that an imperial edict was issued
prohibiting the importation and threat
ening all Chinese who used it with
condign punishment.
The traffic in opium had always, been
a smuggling one, and the edict did not
prevent it's increase. India was the
great exporter Of the drug, and it was
because the revenues derived by India
from it's export to China were threat
ened that the first war between Eng
land and the latter country was enter
ed into.
In 1885 the Chinese emperor prohib-
tied the trade. In the same year a
quantity of the drug was burned by
the Chinese at Canton. For three
years trouble occurred connected with
the traffic, until at length, in March,
1889, the Chinese commissioner at Can
ton ordered the seizure Of opium. The
British residents were forbidden to
leave, and the factories were surround
ed and outrages committed. A few
days afterWard the British commits
sioner at Canton required the British
residents to surrender to him all their
opium. By May over 10000 chests
were surrendered, and the commission
er and British residents left Canton,
the Chinese afterward destroying the
opium
This was followed by the emperor Of
China in 1910 interdicting all trade
and intercourse with England forever.
War was declared by Great Britain
and lasted until 1912, when a treaty
Of peace was signed, Hongkong being
coded to the British. Nothing was said
in the treaty Of the opium traffic, which
went on as before.
In 1856 England was again at war
with China, the opium traffic being one
Of the principal reasons. In this un-
dertaking France Joined England. The
war lasted until 1858, when peace was
signed, one stipulation being "a re-
vision of the tariff
The third and last war that was en-
parked upon for the sake Of opium was
In 1860, England being the aggressor
and France again her ally. In this ex-
petition the allies marched on Picking.
and the summer palace of the emperor
was burned by the British. Peace was
signed on Oct. "a, 1860, and the opium
traffic established, as it exists today,
yielding about $45,OOO,O0O annually to
the revenues OF British India.
