The Antiquity Of Man.

It has been known during q long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We know
that the great ice age consisted OF dif-
ferent glacial times separated BY In
terglacial times. In glacial times the
snow line dropped 5000 to 1000 feet
below It's present level In the Alps.
whereas in intergiacial times It lay
about 1000 feet higher than at pres
ent. Thus the temperature seems to
have been higher In the interglacial
periods than It is now. There
is abundant evidence. in the opiD-
ION of Penck, that man existed
during the beginning of the last gla.
cial epoch. There is some reason for
thinking that at least 10000 years
have elapsed since the last glaciation
and that the man whose jawbone vas
found In 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years ago.-Scientific Amer

were spent over what the small
hostess called "candleboats.' IL
excited curiosity enough when
there was handed about plate

one was numbered on the bottom with

a spoonful of paraffin. In the center
stood a bit of oil.soaked cotton string

sized, some took fire and burned up.

their little candles burning up the last

was inspected for its number. then its
