OLDEST BODY OF HUMAN.
Rsmains Of q Nan Who Il Thought
to Have Lived at Least
5000 B. c.

The Oldest body of any human being
now reposes in the Egyptian gallery Of
the British museum, says the Ameri-
can Antiquarian. 1t is the body Of q
man who was buried In q shallow
grave followed out Of the sandstone
on the west bank Of the Nile in Upper
Egypt. This man must have hunted
along the banks Of the Nile before the
time Of the earliest mummied king
which the museum possesses-before
the time Of Menes. who was supposed
to have ruled Egypt at least 5000 B.
c. There were previous to that time
two prehistoric races, one the con-
Querors, and the other the conquered,
from which sprang the Egyptian race
Of the earliest dynasties. II is with
these remote stocks that this man has
to do.
Considering the condition IN which
he was found. IT is evident that he was
associated with thG late period Of the
new stone age Of Egypt. He was
buried in a characteristic neolithic
grave. with his neolithic pots and In
struments Of flint about him. There

Just how the ancient Romans went
to the theater and what kind of shows
were billed In the days Of Augustus
and Nero was explained by Prof. Wal
ton B. Mcdaniel in q free public lee
ture at the University Museum Of Sci
ence and Art yesterday afternoon
The audience heard with some sur
prise that the political lights Of Rome,
the senator's, got the choice seats, the
aristocrats sat next then came the
husbands and wives and last Of all,
way up In the peanut" gallery, sat
the women who came without escorts.
The lecturer also told that married
men got better seats than single men
and that boys were seated under the
view OF their pedagogues.
In describing the big theater built by
Pompey the Great he startled his hear
ers by declaring that in the fine art OF
handling the masses Dick" Croker
was a child compared to the late
Pompey. The lecture was illustrated

SKILL IN TYPEWRITINo.
Speed That Exceeds That Of Many Of
the Most Expert Btsnog-
rapherN,

The astonishing dexterity which the
modern virtuosi Of the typewriter pos
sess was shown In the Chicago con-
test In which the winner wrote 1927
words in 80 minutes, an average speed
Of 154 words a minute, says the Spring
field Republican. This Is a brisk pace
even for shorthand work, and many
professional stenographers have
worked years without attaining a 150-
word speed. But the character Of the
test makes a great difference. for II Is
one thing to rattle OF a repeated SEN
tence on a memorized passage and
quite another to deal with new mat
ter, especially IL the vocabulary is not
very simple.
There are many kinds Of type writ
ing where the fastest expert would have
to feel bis way along at a paltry 40
words q minute or so. II must be re-
membered, too, that the second half
hour must b slower than the nrst,
and the second hour slower still. Rae
ing speeds must not be taken as q basis
for steady work.
Moreover, tfs matter Of accuracy Is
even more important than that Of
speed. There should have been q spe-
cial medal for the young woman who.
though she finished but fourth, made
only 81 errors In 4,0S5 words.

Consul Goldschmidt, Of Nantes, con-
tributes an extended article on indus

says In part:

The administration of fine arts Sc
lects and sends the greater part Of the
models useful to instruction, gives
prizes, scholarships, purses and en-
couagement to pupils who have dis
tinguished themselves during their
course of studies. The influence Of ar
tistic training upon the Industries Of
France Is paramount, and the ordinary
observer Is struck at once when ex-
aiming an article In the French shops
