PREHISTORIC SAHARA
Evidences that It Was Populated and
Agriculture Flourished.

Cyrus A. Adams in Review of Reviews.
In studying the geological history of
this region, Gautier found evidence that
1T was once rainless and was truly a
desert, the gradual desiccation advan-
cling from the Sudan. Then the era of
permanent drought and complete desert
conditions gradually came to an end.
Today rain belt is creeping up from
the Sudan and is extending farther and
farther north into the desert. This new
epoch may continue for hundreds of
years. s--.. -. ......
But the most startling testimony
which Gautier found was absolute
proof that long before the present age
of rainfall, in what is known as the
neolithic or later stone age, very large
population inhabited this part of the
Sahara. He found there graves scat
tered over the grassy plain; he found
many hundreds of their drawings on
the rocks. where they had pictured ami
NAL forms and other objects. He dis
covered the fattened stones which they
had used for grinding grain.
These millstones show that agricul-
ture was then developed in that region
and the grinding of grain into -four
| ilization. Here and there were many
arrow points. axes of polished stone
and other implements. 1t was many
hundreds of years ago that human be-
| ings inhabited this region, but. as time
is reckoned in geological epochs, thou
sands Of farmers were tilling this part
| of the Sahara at comparatively recent
period. They were finally driven back
into the Sudan by the increasing
drought and the world forgot that this
region had ever been inhabited by man.

COLLEGE GIRLS FIGHT FIRE
Women Students at Bryn Mawr Handled
Hose Like Veterans.
New York World.

Philadelphia.-Bryn Mawr girls
turned out in force at ain. Wsdnes-
day to fight fire which threatened
to destroy the Low building, one of
the college group. The nerve displayed
lege doubtless saved the property.
Glasses were about to assemble in the
main building when the blowing of the
college fire whistle threw the students
into futter of excitement. The whis-
ties shrieking aroused all Bryn Mawr,
and the girls detailed to the fire squad
dropped their books and made rush
for the reel of hose that constitutes
the college fire department.
While score of more of students,
hair flying loose in the wind and skirts
held tightly, dragged the hose down the
steep slope leading to Low building,
the rest of the student body made a
short cut across the lawns to the scene
of the excitement. Smoke filed the
corridors and the girls, in true fireman
fashion, tied dainty. lace-edged hand
kerchiefs over their mouths before
plunging into the sitting Railways.
The girls bravely dragged their hose
into the midst of the commotion and
the signal was given for those above
to turn on the water. After a few
minutes play from the hose the blaze
was extinguished.
The damage is estimated at $1,000.
Much of this is due to water, as the
girls forgot to turn off the stream for
half an hour after the fire was out.

oals prices drop-April fool!
Is Garfield to Blame?

The greatest defeat the present adj
ministration has encountered is the loss
of the case against the Chicago packers.
That the government should not have
lost that case one can easily believe.
A leading lawyer Of Minnesota and 9
member Of the bench whose opinions
carry great weight said regarding Judge
Humphreys decision: cit was a case
where man might decide either way
and give very good reasons for his deci-
sion. At the same time believe there
was only one way for Judge Humphreys
to decide and that was just the opposite
from what he did decide. He was not
called upon to shut off the government
case entirely. The government had
certain right to expect that the judge
would allow it to go to trial on the mer-
it's Of the case.'
The denial of this right is said to
have made the president pretty hostile.
He is credited with desire to sack
Garfield and begin over again with a
vigorous prosecution Of the packers.
Another rumor has it that the president
is more inclined to blame the federal
Judiciary than Garfield, whom he holds
to have done nothing improper or COM
promising to the government. What is
worrying the government just now is
how Judge Humphreys got into the case
at all. He was not Chicago judge
and while there we're plenty Of Chicago
judges available it puzzles the govern
ment to understand why a judge was
| imported and why the judge brought in
| happened to be such a warm friend of
Senator Cullom, who it is known has
looked coldly upon this prosecution of
the packers. "
| Under these circumstances the presi
! dent does not feel that he would acquit
himself very well if he discharged Gar
field and quit. He wants the packers
to know that he is up and coming or
again, but that next time he will sec
that all his weapons are fit for the con
| test. .xs,.

TOO HIGH UP FOR A CAT

Chicago Chronicle.


:. Denyer.-James H. Nally, salesman
for New York shoehouse, had trouble
about sleeping at the Browne hotel the
other night. In the morning he sought
the chief clerk, G. H. Churchill, and
registered complaint.
GA cat in the alley across the street

will either have to guarantee that the
cats will be kept out of that alley to-
night or change my room. l must have

Clerk Churchill smiled.

There are comparatively few cats in
Denver, but if you would live absolute

An IMPORTANT Event.

The visit Of Jim Key, the educated
horse, to Minneapolis under the auspices
Of the Humane society, is an important
event. One could not fail to be i'm
pressed with that fact if he had been
present at the Auditorium last night,
where Mr.. Rogers presented his famous
horse to an invited audience, made up
chiefly Of teachers, which packed the
house to its utmost capacity. We are
not 50 much concerned about how the
trainer has taught his horse to do
wonderful things, which seem almost
like the work Of human intelligence,
as about the use that is made Of the
horses accomplishments for the benefit
| Of .animalkind and the good Of man
kind -.r. &---.
Jim Kew Is what he is as a result Of
kindness and patience; but he is-in
kind, if not in degree-what every do
nestle animal might be, and particu
larly the horse and the dog, under like
treatment. The result should be ar

| It Is worth while to contemplate the
enthusiasm of man Of large affairs
who is willing to devote his time ane
his money to the teaching Of this lessor
to the children Of the country. This i
what Mr.. Rogers is doing. 1T is wha
he did before he had Jim Key. It il
what he Is doing more successfully nov
that he has this horse to illustrate tn

The Bostonians.

The death recently of w. II. Melon
aid, barYtone Of the Bostonians, recalls
the history Of an organization which
had great vogue in it's time and which
did much to keep up the traditions Of
light opera, today so interminably
mixed with extravaganza that the term
light opera has ceased to be distinctive.
The Bostonians were an outgrowth Of
the Boston Ideals and practically formed
out Of it. w. H. Mcdonald, Tom Karl
and H. G. Barnabee were the owners
and leading performers. The Bosto-
mans had the honor to make the name
of De Koven famous with their pro
duction Of Robin Hood, the most sue.
cessful light opera Of our day.
Of the principals of the Bostonians,
Marie Stone, Tom Karl, Herndon Nor
sell, Edwin w. Hoff have retired
Mcdonald, and Jessie Bartlett Davis
have died, and Barnabee is still on the
boards, somewhere. r.
The members Of this organization
should be all Independently rich, but
they probably are not; in fact, W.
might safely infer as much from thu
| fact that few Of them have retired
| tho all have advanced in years. The
uncertainties Of the stage life wer'
never more strikingly exemplifed. Witt
every sort Of public favor extended
with unexampled popularity and pros
perity, the Bostonians made nobod,
rich, and most Of it's members are .stil

years, looking for a meager living il

Renewed Talk Of Hanson Since Brewers
Withdrawst--Governo Johnson's Time
" Filled with Speaking Dates.

II \ rFfSSs
Talk Of Peter e. Hanson as a candidate
is heard more since the withdrawal Of his
son -fn-laW, Ripley Brewer, from the
sixth district congressional fight. Unless
A. y. Stephens asks for delegates Han
son will draw considerable support from
the ninth district as well as the sixth.
The Roseau Times declares Hanson to be
the man to nominate and he is evidently
the man counted upon to stem the Jacob
son tide in the western and northwestern
counties. While many Dunn men are in
the Block camp. those closest to the
princeton man are mostly talking Han
son, and the st. Paul conference which
picked the secretary Of state is beginning
to show its fruits. Hanson talk was con-
spicuous around the edges at the COM
mittee meeting today.
Governor Johnson does not care partic
uiariy when the convention is held,
either republican or democratic He
goes marching on every day. and prior
to the opening Of actual hostilities he is
getting invitations from republicans as
well as democrats. In reply to a request
Tor an address at Little Falls recently he
said he was engaged for every day from
