Vsrtebrae Chased % Oldest Human
Remains Found In the New World.

The oldest human remains on the
American continent have been discov-
cred in the Argentine republic. Some
four or five years ago q vertebra was
dug up in the neighborhood Of Monte
Hermoso and deposited in the museum
Of La Plata. There it attracted the
attention of the director, q German,
Herr Lehmann-Nitsche. He recog-
nized 1t as having strong resemblances
to human cervical or neck vertebra
and also some relation to the bones of
the higher apes, without exactly CORE
spending with either.
Then he compared it with some other
bones in the collection, and the result
Of his study was the hypothesis Of a
new type, neither human nor ape, but
related to both. The curve Of the
spine indicated by the bones sug-
gested an animal that walked upright,
but the size and formation of the
bones made it clear that the head
they supported was small and light,
with very small brain capacity.
The remains resemble certain bones
Of a primitive race of men. found in
Java more closely than any other non.
human or near human specimens.
They represent altogether the oldest
type of humanity, If human they are,
ever found in the western continent.

HAVE KEEN EYE FOR BEAUTY.
Instinct Of Design Seems Planted In
the Japanese.

When a Japanese cannot mold the
shape of an object, when he cannot
redeem it by design, when, in fact,
he has no control over, its creation at
all. but it is placed in his hands as it
is, finished, says the author of "Ka-
kemono," he will still contrive to add
beauty to it merely by arrangement.
Il first noticed this on board the
steamer going out" says Mr. Edwards,
where the Japanese boy arranged
the extra blanket on the berth in a
new design each day. He folded 1t
into lotus leaves and chrysanthemums,
into half-opened fans and half-shut
buds. He had one wonderful ar
rangement which, being patriotic, was
more often repeated than the rest
The blankets of the steamship COM
pany had at top and bottom two wavy
red lines on white ground. BY some
wonderful twist of his fingers the boy
would fold that blanket into the rising
sun, with the four red lines coming
out of it like blood-red rays. He did
1t so perfectly that I recognized the
flag of Japan the moment saw it,

The Baltimore Sun, always anti
Bryan, says:
It.: seems to be obvious that Mr..
Bryan has behind him a majority of
the democratic party in a majority Of
the states of the Union, and it is
certain that he has strong following
here in Maryland. Several of
the county conventions passed resolu-
tions of instruction for him, and if
there had been a direct vote in the
party primaries throughout the state,
it is entirely within the bounds of
probability that the supporters of Mr..
Bryan might have controlled the state
convention, or at least have elected so
large proportion Of the delegates to
the convention as would have divided
the Denver delegation. This is a
frank statement of what appears to us
to be the situation, just as it is
equally frank to say that the names
which seem to appeal most strongly to
the democratic and republican masses,
respectively, throughout the country
are those of Bryan and Roosevelt. It
is of no use arguing against a fact,
and we make no argument against this
fact.

Art in Spanish Bank Notes,

To battle the counterfeiters, who are
both numerous and cunning in Madrid,
the Bank of Spain has pursued the
policy Of changing it's notes with great
frequency and retiring each issue as
fast as possible.
The bank has now determined on a
new plan. 1t has placed an order for
a series of notes with an English con-
Germ, and it will rely for safety upon
special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures of
well-known buildings in Spain, exc
cuted with perfection that will defy
counterfeiting. s.,
THE pictures are to be so beautiful
that amateurs will be tempted to
frame them," says one Spanish news.
paper. Hardly" rejoins another,
the cost of the set will be 1,675
pesetas, you see." To the Spanish
mind $338.50 is q great deal of money.

Right of Way and Terminals Of North
ern Pacific Road.
Some interesting figures In regard
to land values as represented by right
Of way and terminals. exclusive OF I'M
provements, were given by Thomas
Cooper, land commissioner Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
when he was examined before Judge
Otis, special master, who is taking
testimony at st. Paul preparatory to
a final hearing on the merits In the
state rate cases.
Mr.. Cooper places the total land
valuation at $10s.o00,oo0. nearly one
quarter of which is in Minnesota.
Some idea Of the value of the yearly
increase in the company's holdings
may be gained from Mr.. Cooper's
statement that since he was appointed
commissioner in 1904 he has pur-
chased $8,139.542.35 worth of land for
the company between st. Paul and the
coast.
Mr.. Cooper places the value Of st.
Paul terminals at $9,907 1894. while
Minneapolis terminals are valued at
St, 292.S19.22. These figures are based
on the land values exclusive of i'm
provements. The area Of the st. Paul
property is 751.68 acres, while the Min
neapolis area is s09.s7 acres. "

Let's see, what did the Minneapolis
Journal and the st. Paul Dispatch say
about the Southerners? They were
dead against Bryan, etc., etc., ad

other name was mentioned in
Virginia. Maybe after while people
will begin to think that if tho
Journal and Disp tch have

other things also.

ELLEN SWANSON IN LIMELIGHT
AGAIN '-asE5

Leaving her clothes and money at the
home OF 81. j. Hask amp where she was
employed as servant girl, Miss Ella
Swanson OF Little Falls has disappeared,
says the ST. Cloud Journal Press. It is
believed that she elOped with g. member
OF the Parker Carnival company. The
girl attended the carnival every night
and became acquainted with one of the
workmen. The two became infatuated
with each other. The servant did not
get into the house until or 2 o'clock in
the. morning and was reprimanded by
Mrs. Haskamp. She objected seriously
to this and stated that If she could not
go and come as she pleased she would
go elsewhere. On Saturday night the
girl ag ain went to the carnival. shortly
after l o'clock she and her lover were
heard talking on the back porch. Since
that time nothing has been seen of her.
The members of the Haskamp family
were not much alarmed when the girl
did not put in an appearance and believ-
ed that she would return. Miss Swan
son did not show up at all that day and
has not been seen since. 1t is believed
without q doubt that the carnival man
persuaded the girl to run away with him
and that the two have gone to Mime
apolis. The mother of the girl who re-
sides at Little Falls, will be notified i'm
mediately, and an effort made to locate
the girl.
Miss Swanson has been in the linn eight
in this city before Last fall she gave
birth to child at the local hospital.
She remained there few weeks and
one day ran away from the institution,
leaving the baby behind. It was some
time before she was located by the po-
lice.
Miss Swanson refused to take the child
and it was adopted by q family at
Waite Park.

Commissioner Williams. They were
