TWO PAPERS READ.
"Ancient Man of Nebraska and
Malaccan BasketrY Discussed

A, meeting of the Anthropological So
ciety was held last night at the Cosmos
Club. at which two papers by DIR. A.
Hrdlicka and Prof. Otis T. Mason of the
National Museum. were read.
DR.. Hrdlicka made a brief report on the
"Ancient Man of Nebraska" based on per-
sonal examination of the relics discov-
cred. The paper read by Prof Mason was
the first account of the w. L. Abbott
basketry from southern Malaysia, now in
the National Museum.
The latter paper gave the results of a
study OF large collection of baskets
made in the Peninsula of Malacca, the
small archipelagoes east and west of Su-
matra and western Borneo. south of Sara
wax. The collection has been presented
to the museum by DIR. William L. Abbott
of Philadelphia.
Prof. Mason said: This collection is of
great value. because ii was made under
instructions and comes In at the nick of
time to compare with the vast amount of
material now being sent home from the
Philippines"
Prof. A Hrdlicka gave a description of
his visit to the noted Longs HILL" about
ten miles north of Omaha, where some
interesting remains of supposed prehis-
toric people have been discovered. Prof.
Hrdlicka told of accidental finds made in
this hill over a period OF twenty or thirty
years. being three or four skulls. He
then described the more scientific excava-
lions made there last summer and fall
and of his visit to the mound last Janu-
AIRY. Prof. Hrdlieka said the discoveries
thus far made do not warrant any very
certain conclusion relative to the age of
the bones dug from the mounds on this
hill
He found them differing in no essential
particulars from similar finds in other
parts of the United States. and he said no
conclusion could be arrived at with refer
ence to the great age of the bones until
more extensive excavations have been
made during the coming spring and sum-
mer.

SOCIETY OF ENGINEERa
Members Listen to Address on Work
in PHILIPPINES.

In speaking before the Washington So
ciety of Engineers at smoker in its
rooms. 30 18th street, on engineering work
now being done in the Philippines, especial
ly that of the coast and geodetic survey,
George r. Putnam, director of coast survey
In the islands, brought out many interest
Ing facts showing the progress made by the
natives in technical development and of
the further fact that the United States is
buying engineering supplies from Japan.
The lecturer used several large maps of
the islands to illustrate his remarks. The
meeting was in charge OF F. H. Newell,
president, and l.. D. Bliss, secretary of the
society.
Five boats are being used by the coast
survey in the islands. and of these-tWo
were built in Japan and purchased for
the work by the Philippine government.
They are found to be very good for13he
work. The head boat was built IN the
United States. and especially designed for
The natives are being utilized by the
service, when possible. The headquarters
in Manila employs about thirty-five natives
for drafting and similar work, and on some
of the boats native craftsmen are en-
ployed. The crews Of the boats, except the
officers. are all natives They are much
cheaper and fairly satisfactory, the speaker
said.
The cost of the survey work in the Philip
pines, as at present conducted, Is about
$3.50 900 per year, and of that one-third is
paid by the native government and two
thirds by the United States government.
The coast line of the islands has been
figured out to be more than IL, 600 miles In
length. The United States service has
completed surveys Of about 1.645 miles.
That. Joined with the surveys made previ-
Gus to American possession by the Spanish
and the English, completes charts of about
one-quarter of the coast line. Work is pro-
crossing rapidly, although climatic condi-
TONS it is stated, retard it at certain sea-
sons.
Speaking of the engineering projects now
being carried out in the islands. Mr.. Put
nam pointed out first the railroad building.
About 100 miles is now being built. the
United States having issued the necessary
permission for that much mileage. rail-
only one in use in the islands when the
Americans took possession. strange feat
ure of that line Is that the passenger re-
ceipts are the principal source Of revenue.
The natives love to ride on the cars. 1t was
stated
Another great project Is the building OF
the breakwater for Manila harbor and the
dredging Of the harbor to a uniform depth
of about thirty feet. The dirt dredged Is
being used to build up the land on the
harbor front, and the new area thus made
will be practically as large as the area OF
the old walled city and will be the most
city The establishment of sewer system
for the city is also contemplated. the con-
tracts having been awarded
No map of the topography OF the islands
has as yet been made, although one Is mucn
needed, the speaker stated.

"HUSTLING DRESS" FOR MEN.
It's Feature is Its Rear Elevation
Brave Britisher Wears It.

LONDON. March edgar Jephson OF
wenbly, MiddIesex. is the latest British
dress reformer. He has invented hus-
Ting suit for men in a hurry. Its main
usefulness lies in the fact that 1t can be put
on and taken off In record time.
In appearance it differs from conventional
attire only when seen from behind. but 1t Is
SO distinctive from this point of view that
when Mr.. Jephson first wore 1t In public he
was subjected to outspoken criticism.
Nevertheless the brave reformer ventured
TO walk on the Strand in the suit. Its
novel feature consists of combining the
jacket and trousers. the latter being fas-
tened by concealed buttons to the waist OF
the jacket behind.
Mr.. Jephson says that as walking or
working suit II Is incompatible, and that
It is also more stylish than the present
mode He proposes to extend the Idea 10
evening dress. but doubts whether II ever
will be popular because II Is SO useful.

MEDIUM KEEPS HER FEE.
English Court Finds She Gave Com
fort-A Few Agonies She Endured.

LIVERPOOL, March 6-''To bring back
the spirits Of the dead a medium must her
self endure the agonies Of death" said Mrs.
White. a clairvoyant. in the course of the
hearing Of a suit in court here yesterday
In which she was the defendant. She ex-
planned that she had not only felt her
throat cut while following her profession
but had also passed through all the horrors
of hanging.
The prosecutor sued to recover sum of
money paid to Mrs. White under the belief
that the spirit of his dead mother. speaking
through the medium. made him give the
money for spiritualistic purposes. The
court ruled in favor of Mrs. White on the
ground that her services had evidently
given great comfort to the plaintiff.
