The Antiquity of Man.

1t has been known during a long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
sisted Of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacial times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
1t lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher In the interglacial
periods than it is now. There is abun-
dant evidence, in the opinion of Penck,
that man existed during the beginning
of the last glacial epoch. There is
some reason for thinking that at least
10000 years have elapsed since the
last glaciation and that the man whose
jawbone was found in 1909 near Hell
delberg lived 100000 years ago-Scien-
tif1c American.

A FEW GOOD WORDS.

What perturbation of mind. What
struggling and scratching and shift
ing and lying and cheating are prac-
Iticed every day by mammon Worship
ers to make money! What a contrast
between the successful and unsuccess.
full of the millions who embark in
business to make money! How few
succeed! And why? Because but few
know the secret of success. Most
think it chance or good fortune, but
they are sadly mistaken. If such as
are now pining TO get rich would only
strictly mind the following advice and
be guided by 1t, there would be no
doubt OF their realizing their golden
dreams:
Let the business of everybody else
alone and attend to your own.
Don't buy what you don't need.
Use every hour to advantage and
study to make even leisure hours use
full.
Think twice before you throw away
"a shilling. Remember you will have
another to make for it.
Find recreation in looking after
your business.
Buy low, sell fair, and take care OF
the profits. Look over your books reg
ularly, and If you find an error, trace
IL out. Should stroke of misfortune
come upon you in trade, retrench;
work harder; but never fly the track.
Confront difficulties with unniDching
perseverance, and they will disappear
'at last. Though you should fail in
struggle, you will be honored; but
shrink from the task and you win be
despised w. +. S.

A Detective Story.

l like detective stories; read them,
| write them. but l do not believe
them. The bones and structure of a
good detective story are so old and
we'll known that it may seem banal to
state them even in outline. A police
man, stupid, but sweet tempered, and
always weakly erring on the side Of
mercy, walks along the street, and in
the course of his ordinary business
finds q man in Bulgarian uniform kill
ed with an Australian boomerang in
a Brompton milk shop. Having set
free all the most suspicious persons In
the story. he then appeals to the bull
dog professional detective, who ap-
peals to the hawklike amateur detec-
tive. The latter finds near the corpse
q boot lace, q button boot, a French
newspaper and a return ticket from
the Hebrides, and so relentlessly, link
by link, brings the crime home to the
archbishop of Canterbury.-T. X. Ches-
terton in Illustrated London News.

Picked Steal.

40 keep the iron and steel used in
building big ships from rusting," said
an engineer. lis a matter of supreme
importance. The admiralty is very
particular that every piece shall be
painted the moment 1t is ready for
building purposes. But the steel plates
form a hard black surface, called mill
scale In the process Of manufacture.
This clings tenaciously TO the plate,
and If 1t is covered with paint and
yfterward the plate gets damaged
then the scale peels off. taking the
paint with 1t. and leaving the steel
bare. The plate is then liable to rust
corrosion. serious danger TO the ship.
I'VE therefore remove every trace of
scale before painting the steel plate.
II is put into bath of dilute hydro
chlorlc acid for few hours, which
loosens the scale. The plate is then
brushed with wire brushes and wash
ed with a hose This Is what we call

PRIZE WINNERS
CANNOT BOWL IN
CHURCH LEAGUE

The prize team of the Church Bowl
ing League of the Oranges, that of the
Orange Methodist Episcopal Church.
will not bowl this year because the
new pastor of the church, the Rev. DR..
William A. Frye. does not like the idea
of linking the name of the church with
a bowling team. The pastor let his
dislike be known to the captain of the
team, j. Albert Hobbs, and to two
other members. He also con1ded his
attitude to the board of the church
and the Mems Guild refused ~recogni-
ton to the team. Hobbs yesterday
withdrew from the league. He said
that such a course was inevitable.
The pastor said hat he objected to
having the team take the name of the
church, though he insisted hat he was
not opposed to bowling. He refused
to take the whole burden of the UNI
ple~asantness on himself, because, he
said, the official board of the church
was of the same mind with him.
Abram NJ. Riley, a box manufac-
turer of the city. is sponsor for the
statement that the pastor of the church
or members of its congregation are
not opposed TO the team, but to the
men who compose It. Mr. Riley said
that the men last year used the name
of the church without authority. Mr..
Riley was asked if the members of
the team were members of the church,
and stated; Their names are on the
roster of the church. but that" He

Kearny Board Discovers Mis-
take in Time After Suspend
ing Regular Officer.

Edward +. McKeon is a real esate
operator of Harrison. He has never
had any aspirations of becoming a
health inspector. but he almost had the
honor forced on him last night. This
is how it happened:
Mr.. McKeon was in the rooms of
Kearny Council, knights of Columbus,
at Harrison avenue and Fourth street.
last night when the telepho..e bell rang.
One of the other members answered
the call. Somebody on the other end of
the wire wanted to know. according to
the man at the receiver, If Mr.. McKeon
was there. The latter went to the
phone and was asked to hurry up to
the Kearny Town Hall.
Very much surprised, Mr.. McKeon did
as requested. and found upon reaching
the place that the members of the
Kearny Board of Health were waiting
TO receive him. No time was wasted
