Thu Most Ancient Man.


The average reader does not see
much difference In age between human
remains found in the beds of the pleis-
tocene and the pliocene, but to the
geologist the difference is very great,
only he cannot express 1t In years or
centuries. Until recently the Oldest re-
mains OF man known dated back to the
middle pleistocene. Among these are
the celebrated relics from Neanderthal,
Spy and other places. But in October,
1907. lower human jaw was found In
deposits attributed to the early pleis-
tocene or even the late pliocene. This
would give IL II greater antiquity than
any OF the others and entitle II to be
called the Oldest remains of the human
species. The teeth are well preserved.
The most remarkable feature of the
Jaw is the absence of chin. The ca
nine teeth are not unduly prominent.
and the dimensions of the teeth are
within the limits of variation In living

From the keen look on her face one
might have imagined that had 1t not

after gazing anxiously In the direction

of the door OF the hotel just In time to

with some amusement. the speedy eff
forts of the grim old lady as she hur-
ried of. The amusement. however,
rapidly gave place to a more interest
ing pastime. for, summoning all his
callow courage, he set himself vigor-
ously to hint at possible union be-
tween himself and the noble countess.
1t was evident from the first word
that the lady was prepared for him
and that, while she intended to offer
him every bit of encouragement in her
power, she would not be satisfied with
anything short of a definite proposal
and more likely before witnesses II

He made his initial move with some
gayety. She returned his banter with
a mock seriousness and In answer to
his challenge on her somber mood re-
piled:
But cannot believe you are al
ways serious, my friend"

''Set me some task to prove how seri-

Horace took her hand and murmur-
ed: NaIiea

tied may speak to your
Yes. You may speak to me-when
you please" And at the words he
kissed her hand rapturously.
In the meantime the suddenly reju-
venated Lady Creech had found her
brother-in-law and had impaired to
him words of the utmost Importance.
She had temporarily forgotten her
deafness, or else the agitation that pos
sessed her had removed 1t, for she was
bordering upon "a state of mind
She walked him back to the hotel
when she found him and talked con-

talked his excitement grew to match
