bones OF a prehistoric man buried 10
feet deep under n terrace, which is re.
garded and with good reason, as the
ancient bed of the Thames river.
There is no reason TO believe that
the elevation or depression OF the
land, which leads TO the rise and fall
in the level of the river, has not been
uniform. The past must be Judged
from what we know OF the present,
and on this basis the land movement
which formed the terrace, and which
has scarcely changed since the Roman
period, has been deposited at the rate
Of one foot in 1000 years, this as
signing a period OF at least 100000
years since the high-level terrace was
laid down at Galley Hill. and the an.
cient Briton was entombed In the
river bed.
This ancient Briton was five feet
one inch in height. The neck was
enormously thick and the chest was
narrow and protruding.

NOW AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA

The post of ambassador to Russia
is one OF the most important in our
diplomatic service, owing to the in
terplay of Russian and American in
terests in the far East and to the
grave questions affecting trade and
politics which are constantly arising
in that far-off region Of the Orient.
Our new ambassador to Russia,
former Governor Curtis Guild of
Massachusetts, was selected for this
difficult post because of his recognized
ability and his broad comprehension
Of American interests.
Mr. Guild is a native of Boston, a
graduate of Harvard and Of Geneva
university and is the wearer Of sew

man he entered the office Of the Bos-

health, and the list was examined yestcr.
day.
The birth rate along the avenue is or
the Increase. for only seven Of the eight
cen babies arrived in 1909, whereas 1910
brought the eleven others. The section
chosen for the count lies between Wash
ington Arch and 105th street, where prob.
ably the lowest birth rate of any resi-
dence street in the world is recorded.
From 1UJth street to the Harlem river
fashionable folk do not dwell. In that
section lat babies were born in 1909 and
1o4 babies in 1910. But perhaps Mrs.
Glyn had been told that section was not
9Th Avenue with a capital A.
Greater Than London.
AS Mrs. Glyn is in London, she might
get the statistics of births there for 1910.
If she does she will find only 1l4.S7O
against New York's. 120.OsO in the same
year. And the English city's population
is larger than New York's.
II Mrs. Glyn intended to imply that the
American women Of wealth are averse to
motherhood she overlooked the following
list of prominent New York couples to
whom children were born in the last two
years: MIR. and Mrs. James L. Van Allen.
Mr.. and Mrs. John d. Rockefeller, it,,
MIR. and Mrs. Percy 4. Rockefeller, two
children; Mr. and Mrs. Edward c. Potter.
jr., MIR. and Mrs. August Belmont jr.,
two children, and Mr.. and Mrs James
w. Webb.
Reasons for Small Rate.
There are probably two reasons for
the small birth rate -along 5th avenue"
said DIR. w. II. Gilfoy. registrar Of the
health board. "One is that most Of the
residents are very wealthy, which means
they probably elderly persons, with
grown sons and daughters The second
reason might be that during the greater
part OF the year these wealthy persons
live out Of town. Babies born out OF New
York city are not recorded on our books
Among our .American-bOra women I
find that the birth rate is dropping of,
but we are not suffering ON this account
The, enormous foreign population in the
yearly growing larger. Altogether l
think that New York can be proud OF it's
many bal ies, mothers and good health.
There are some blocks where the birth
ate is fifty-eight to a thousand of popu-
lation a year and it is common to ind
forty or more babies born In Q block

but il is a shorter distance to the Bur
mese border. This road. which involves
the most difficult and expensive engineer
ing and construction ever attempted in
the Chinese empire, is being undertaken
exclusively by Chinese engineers and ma
tive capital. without any foreign assist
ance or advice whatever. The chief en-
gineer is Jeme Tien-yow and his assist
built the road from Picking to kalgan.
They commenced grading in the spring
of 1910; the frsts pike was driven at
Ichang the 21st of July last and Janu-

by American locomotives, were running
for fifteen miles. These locomotives were
brought IN pieces by boat to Ichang and
there put together by Chinese machinists
without foreign assistance. The work on
this railroad is alI' being done by con-

Four Countries Interested.

NegOtia tons for a concession for the
construction of this road were undertaken
by a British syndicate in 1903, but the
Chinese refused to grant what was want
ed. An American syndicate then took it
up, and failed in a similar manner. The
French had no better success, but the
Germans in 1908 succeeded in persuading
or compelling the imperial government at
Picking to promise them contract. When
the British minister heard Of this he en-
tered a protest. as did the representatives
Of France and the United States, and the
consequence was compromise under
which the four governments undertook to
furnish the money SO that the Chinese
could build and operate the road.
Another important native railroad was
recently finished in the interior, from Kai
Feng-fu. capital of the province Of Ho-
nan on the Yellow river. to Honan-fu,
distance of about 800 miles. 1t is now in
full operation. and funds are being raised
for is extension to Hsian-fu. in Shensi
province Some of the capital was bor-
rowed. of foreigners, but 1t was mostly
subscribed by natives. The road was laid
cut by European engineers. but was con-
structed by native contractors with ma
tive labor.
The railway from Tientsin to Nankin.
700 miles long, will be completed and In
operation by next year. There is none
more important in China.
X line from Shanghai to Ningpo, about
4U miles long, will also be completed
next year. 1t is being built by British
engineers with British capital.
Thus you will that China is eX-
tending her internal improvements very
rapidly, and is not SO helpless as she was
a few years ago. The sleeping giant has
awakened and industrial and commercial
interests are developing in remarkable
manner During the next twenty-five
years China will he the scene of the
greatest commercial, industrial. mineral
and every other form of activity on the
universe and the young men who have
