Wlckedness Of Clothes.

There Is a great truth underlying
the fact which the governor Of Ugsn-
da has Just proclaimed. namely. that
the more clothes the Ba&edi women
wear the less moral they are. Among
all the unclothed Nilodo tribes. ho
says, a notable degree Of morality ex-
lists; whereas those who have always
been greatly addicted to wearing ap-
parel are Of notoriously lax habits. 1t
is the same everywhere Clothes. Of
course have their uses in such wealth
er, as we are enduring here and now,
but who has not envted and admired

Man 5000 Years Old.

At recent meeting of scientists
in Dublin Pro- G. Elliott Smith, the
Psychologist, said that the earliest
known human remains found In the
Nile valley, when compared with
those Of later times, demonstrated
the fact that at very remote period
Egypt and Nubia were inhabited by
the same race, which had persisted
In Egypt with little or no change In
physical characteristics throughout
the intervening 5000 years until the
present day. They had been and
still were a small people, the aver
age height of the men being about
five feet three inches at every period
of their history.
Their hair was very dark brown or
black, usually wavy, but not "voolly"
or in any sense nsgroid; thetr heads
we're long and narrow, usually ovoid
or pentagonoid or "cofln-sAaYed." az
the result Of frequent prosenee Of q
protuberant occtput. On the whole.
they shared those characteristics
which distinguished the matortty Of
the peoples tringing tho keAiterra-
mean.
AS would be expected IN Q group Of
people that had lived from The dawn
of history on the fringe OF the negro
territory. there was some slight evi-
dence Of an infusion Of black blood.
but this was very small in amount.

the French minister Of the marine,
M. Alfred Picard, has been making off
the coast Of Morocco. Capt. Saconney
has been working for months past to
develop a machine that would pro-
duce a clear and detailed view of a
country, its forts, encampments and
general outlines. The results have
gone beyond all expectations. A pho
tograph of Casa Blanca has been TAX
en- by this wonderful camera at an
altitude of 400 yards and three miles
from shore.
In structure this machine resem-
bles an enormous box kite. To it is
attached a cable by which the appar-
atus can be made to ascend or de-
scend at the will of the operator.
When the desired height Is attained
the aim can be accurately taken and
the snap worked from below. The
whole Photographic OUTFIT is 90 SIM
pie that 1t can be placed on tho deck
of boat, and worked at sea with as
satisfactory results as from the land.
The importance Of these pictorial
documents in time Of war ia obvious.
By the aid Of these aerial photographs
the enemy can fix with precision the
exact disposition Of the opposing
forces, while their entertainments and
forts no longer will be a safeguard.
