No archaeological discovery in
30 years has interested those
scientists who study human life
- greatly as has the finding of a
skeleton of "man-ape" by Otto
Hauser, q Swiss investigator, at
fhapelle aux Saints, France. Pic
lures Of the skull have just been
rec8ived In this city from Paris.
Tie skeleton is 100000 years
old. scientists believe, and the
nearest link yet discovered to
Join man and the lower animals.
The quest for the missing link
between man and the ape has
been the most persistent and most
battling problem of recent times.
Hauser found the skeleton In a
cave In chalf cliff near the little
village of Monster, where some
years ago had been found an i'm
portant deposit of flint fnstru-
ments. Before the finding OF the
skeleton science was busy speeu-
iating on this early race of men,
who had left no bodies, but who,
for the first time IN history, had
learned 70 carve flint weapons.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, March 1s.-
June, an unnatural mother in the
Lincoln park zoo, recently desert

cubs, and but for the hasty inter-
Terence Of Keeper Wy De Vry, the
old lioness would have bitten their
small heads off. y
After she had cuffed two of her
babies and slammed their hardy
little bodies against the sides of
the cage, a thrilling rescue was
pulled off. June was backed to
one end of the cage by the use of
not irons and the keeper raked
the cubs out of danger.
