The AntiouitV 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
consisted of different glacial times
separated by interglacial times. In
glacial times the snow line dropped
5000 or 1000 feet below its present
leven in the Alps, whereas in inter
glacial times it lay about 1000 feet
higher than at present. Thus the
temperature seems to have been high
er in the interglacial periods than
it is now.
There is abundant evidence, in the
opinion on Penck, that man existed
during the beginning of the last gla-
ical 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 Ameri.

WOMAN HYPNOTIZEs MANIAC

Hypnotism enabled Mrs. Annie
Windhorst, who lives on a farm near
R1dgeWay, H., to subdue a maniac
and land him in the Ridgeway Jail.
The maniac, supposed to be a fugi-
tive from some asylum, rushed into
her house while she was preparing
dinner, and said he had received in
structions from the Almighty to kill
her and her three young children. The
mailman seized the woman by the
throat and. forcing her against the
wall, told her to get down on her
knees and pray, adding that he in
tended to strange her.
Mrs. Windhorst, who far years has
been a student of hypnotism, looked
the maniac in the eyes and diverted
his attention. Then she told him to
sit down in a chair near at hand The
mailman obeyed and Mrs. Windhorst
stepped outside and called across a
field to a neighbor, who called several
men, who in turn bound the maniac
and took him to Ridgeway.

RIB NOW PART OF SKULL

A wonderful case Of bone grating
is reported from st. Louis, where
George Williams, Z patient, in the
City hospital, has had part of one of
his ribs grated on to his skull. Will
lams met with an accident some time
ago, and in order to save his life a
portion Of the parietal bone at the
back of his skull was removed. The
pressure Of the scalp On the unpro-
tected membrane beneath it caused
an irritation of the brain cells and
Williams became subject to frequent
paroxysms. There have been many
cases of bone grating, but heretofore
these operations have been confined
to taking slice of bone from one
part OF the skull and putting it on an
other. In Williams case this was
Impossible, so large a portion of the
skull had been removed. The visiting
surgeon suggested that a rib would
do. The patients sixth rib was re-
moved. A piece four inches long and
an inch wide was cut from the end of
the rib and carefully fitted into the
hole in the skull. The scalp was then
sewed up over it, Williams has not
had paroxysm since the operation
was performed

ONE ASSOCIATION IS ENOUGH
Senator eankhead of Alabama Advo-
Gates Consolidation of All Good
Roads Organizations.

There are in the United States five
national good roads organizations
maintaining five sets of officers and
nye headquarters, and all of them are
working for The cause of good roads
II these organizations were com bined
IN one strong and influential body that
would be of vast influence and i'm
portance and would secure the atten-
ton OF the United States congress and
secure almost any appropriation that
they might request for the building
Of good roads.
AT the recent meeting of the fourth
National Good Roads congress in Biz
mlngham, Senator John H. Bankhead
OF Alabama advocated and pushed the
consolidation of these organizations. A
strong resolution indorsing Senator
Bankhead's proposition was unani-
mously passed and the following COM
mlttee was appointed and authorized
to call meeting in Washington next
December and try to get all of these
organizations together. The commit
tee consists of:
Senator John H. Bankhead, Wash
1ngton, chairman; J. a. Rountree,
Birmingham, Ala, secretary-treasurer;
Martin Dodge. Dodge Park, Md; Tom
L. Cannon, St Louis, w. s. West, Val
dosta, Ca; Dr. F. H. Colcock, Column
bia, S. c.; Jene Whitson. CookeVille,
Tenn.
It is believed that this committees
efforts will be crowned with success
and before another year has elapsed
that there will be one great national
good roads organization like the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors association,
which is all-powerful in securing gov
eminent aid for the rivers of this
country.

Old Map of South America.

Claude Vautin, an English mining
engineer, who has been prospecting in
Peru, returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa: Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities Of
the country.
One of the most interesting things
he brings back with him is a map Of
South America made by the Jesuits in
1892. 1t gives an outline Of the land
as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. It's purpose is evidently
plain, for every missionary station in
the country at that time is indicated
on the map, and the line of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by MI
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks of
the Incas. These were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces Of
the dead. Three of these obtained by
Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

up is attached to a horse and when

horse is driven forward and the load

Alfalfa Cuttings Necessary.

A remarkable thing about alfalfa
is its perennial youth. When one
growth is removed, another one comes
on Immediately to take its place, and
so on continually as long as moisture
and temperature conditions are favor
able.
But If the first growth remains
while the second one starts, then, evi-
IDENTIFY, the second suffers, when the
first and second growths are devel-
oping at the same time. At any rate.
says a North Dakota substation re-
port, the alfalfa crop does not remain
thrifty unless it is cut at proper in
teryals. If the first cutting is made
too late, then the new shoots of the
second growth are cut off and the
plants are injured.
