MISSING LINK IN ARGENTINA.
Vertebrae Classed as 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 vertebra was
dug up in the neighborhood of Monte
Hermoso and deposited in the museum
of La Plata. There 1t attracted the
attention of the director, 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 1t 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 1t clear that the head
they supported was small and light,
with very small brain capacity.
The remains resemble certain bones
OF 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.

MUSICIANS OF TENDER YEARS,

Like so many OF the worlds great

the immature age OF 49, But even Sir
Edward was probably not as preco.

sors. Samuel Wesley, who in his eighth
year heard regimental band play a
march which he had composed for 1t.
At IL Franz Schubert had already
placed several songs, string quartettes
and piano pieces to his credit Han.
del's first attempts at composition
were made at eight, and Vieuxtemps,
who began to scrape the strings OF a
tiny fiddle at two, is said to have been
even more precocious. Sir Charles
Halle was only four years old when he
played In public a sonata expressly
composed for him; List was public
performer at nine, Chopin and Ruben
stein at eight, Lady Halle and Joachim
at seven, and at five Mozart composed
piece of music almost too difficult
for his father to play.

Cotton as a Food.

Absorbent cotton is practically pure
cellulose and can be easily converted
into a grape-sugar by the action Of sui
phuric acid. Cellulose and starch are
identical in formula to the chemist.
When we have learned to actually
and cheaply transform cellulose into
starch, says Red Cross Notes, absorb
ent cotton will become source Of
food, and the struggle for existence
for want of food will be at an end.
When bread and cakes are made from
absorbent cotton there will be no

and no high-priced food.

MANY STORIES MALICIOUS

Washington, Feb. 9.-President
Roosevelt today made answer to the
recent public statements that he had
used federal patronage to further the
presidential interests of Secretary
Taft. The answer is in the form of a
letter addressed to William Dudley
Foulke Of Richmond, Ind, and in.
cludes letter from Mr.. Foulke to the
president suggesting the need of such
a statement.
In the course of his letter the pres
dent says: THE statement that
have used the Offices in the effort to
nominate any presidential candidate
is both false and malicious. 1t is the
usual imaginative invention which
flows from desire to say something
injurious. Remember that those now
making this accusation were busily
engaged two months ago In asserting
that | was using the offices to secure
my own denomination. 1t is the kind
of accusation which for the next few
months will be rife. This particular

ing; but as 1t is you who ask why, the
answer you shall have.
The refusal to reappoint a. good
Hughes man as collector of customs al
Pittsburgh, refers to the case of Wal
ter Witherbee and the accusation in
this case is particularly comic, be
cause Mr.. Witherbee was an open and
avowed Taft man. the classmate OIL
Secretary Tafts brother at Yale, and
both Secretary Taft and his brother
requested his eappointment-the only
New York Office holder for whom they
made such request. The congress
man from this district and the sena
tors have not agreed about his sue
cessor and he is still in office. These
facts were either known to the editors
OF the paper in question or could have
been found out by the slightest in

here this morning reports having pass
ed the American feet in the strait at
6 o'clock last evening, twelve miles
east of Cape Pillar. The Chilean
cruiser Chacabucco was leading. The
weather was very stormy.
The captain of the Orita said that
he sighted nineteen vessels in the
fleet, these being the sixteen Ameri-
can battleships, the Chilean cruiser
and two others, probably golfers. He
did not sight the American torpedo
boat flotilla. which accompanied the
battleships from this port, but which
turned north at Smyth channel, thirty
miles from the western end of Magel-
Ian strait. to proceed through this pas
sage to Telcahuano. Owing to the
heavy weather. the warships were
spread out over a considerable stretch
but all seemed to be making splendid
progress in the face of the strong
winds.
Cape Proward, the southern extrem-

the middle of the Magellan strait, and

Binghamton, n. Y. Mr.. Hill was one
of the most respected citizens of the

isfaction.

WOMAN SHOT AND
KILLED ON A
Street CAR
Shocking Tragedy in New York
This Morning
NAME OF VICTIM UNKNOWN
One Of Party Of Six, All Of Whom
Were Iutoxic ated Three Men
Escaped.

New York, Feb. 10.--A young wom-
an known only as "Queenie" and of
whose history nothing has as yet been
ascertained was shot and almost in
stantly killed on Second avenue
street car this morning.
The unfortunate girl was one of a
party of six. three well dressed young
men and two other girls, who boarded
the car some distance from the To-
cality in which the tragedy occurred.
As soon as the shooting occurred
the three men sprang from the car
and disappeared in the crowd but the
girls were arrested. The girls were
taken TO police headquarters but it
was impossible to learn from them
who fired the shot. The entire six
were plainly under the influence of
liquor when they boarded the car.
