The Antiquity Of Man.

1t has been known during a long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We know
that the great ice age consisted Of diff
ferent glacial times separated by in
tergIacial times. In glacial times the
snow line dropped 5000 to 1000 feet
below its present level in the Alps.
whereas in interglacial times 1t lay
about 1000 feet higher than at pres
ent Thus the temperature seems to
have been higher in the intefglacial
periods than it is now. There
is abundant evidence, In the opin-
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 was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years ago.-Scientific Amer.

Capital City League Expects
to Secure Suitable
Grounds.

Members of the Capital City League
certain that the league would continue
with the success that has always been
its portion, and that if the old playing
grounds could not be obtained another
and suitable field would be gotten for
the teams in the league.
The committee appointed to look up
the matter of negotiation with GOnzaga
College will present its report at a meet
ing OF the league next Monday night,
at the residence of Acting President
Blosser. The entire matter of the
grounds will be thoroughly discussed
and the question will be put before the
managers. 1t is expected that terms
can be arranged between the college
and the officials of the league wherein
the park can be used during the summer
season.
The announcement that Gonzaga Col
lege had obtained the use of the park
of the Capital City Leauge came as a
surprise to the members of the league,
and the matter was given great atten-
