MAN 10000 YEARS AGO

Great Britain contains the bones of the oldest man in the world His years are fixed at 170.O0O by ''an eminent scientist" although he ad- mits that he may be 10000 or so years out of the way. A little error of 10000 years may not seem much to scientist, but as a fact it covers all and more of recorded history. There isn't scrap of writing. or any thing of the sort which is 10000 years old. so far as we are aware
 Hence. it is very interesting to learn that a man lived in England so long ago and that his bones have managed to survive One wonders why others of the race haven't been so fortunate. The earliest Briton of whom we have any knowledge whatever lived only 2OOO years ago. and even if we take myth and fable into consideration. these would add but comparatively few centuries A few such remains have been found in various parts of Europe. but up to- the present they have been given the comparatively youthful age of 60.OOO years, so that the Briton wins by a large margin.
 It appears that the bones are those of about the ordinary type of today and the skull is good enough and with brain capacity enough fer some living scholars. Now the point is that if man of much the modern type lived 170,OO0 years ago. how far back must we go to find the time when our ancestors lived in trees and were either monkeys or cousins of those who developed into monkeys while we ascended the ladder Mil lions of years are asked for by the scientific sharps and we give them cheerfully. Far be it from us to deny any of the discoveries Cf science. but we must say that it took the human race an awful long time to do anything worth mentioning. For a few million of years life must have been particularly dull from the ip- tellectual standing It makes us little ashamed that we haven't done more.
 However. the point is of less i'm portance than the future problem of the race. How are we going to

shipments were valued at s695,137 gold and amounted in weight to 576.119 pounds. Total shipments to all coun- tries were of course much larger. prob ably aggregating 100000 pounds
 valued at S1.5G0.OOO gold.
 Nevertheless the value per pound of
 hair being shipped from Hongkong at
 present is substantially half what it
 was a year ago. says the Daily Con- sular and Trade Report The trade has assumed immense proportions. but the shipments have been so large that the market in Paris, London. Vienna. New
 York and other centers is glutted so far as raw hair is concerned.
 The trade out of Hongkong is chang ing and much of the hair that formerly went out in the raw or unwOrked state is now going out in the shape of finished hair. Several establishments for working hair have been inaugural ed, but the principal one has been opened by an American hair expert This factory has been employing about 500 men. women and children for some time and its output Is just arriving in the foreign markets. Much of the product is sent to Paris, and so far as appearances and reports go is ex- ported from there to the United States as French hair.
 The origin of the hair shipped from HongKong. and indeed from .ail China so far as information can be secured from the best sources. is vastly differ ent from that indicated by many Al. over. The report that much of their shipped was taken from the dead is not only untrue of the Chinese trade but is inconsistent with Chinese views of the dead and with Chinese thought.
 The hair shipped abroad from the empire is combings from we'll to do people. mostly women. A Chinese maid in dressing her mistress's nair simply saves and sells to a barber the comb ings that formerly were thrown away.
 Barbers also obtain considerable hair from plying their trade.
 The vast mass of the hair shipped abroad and invoiced for the United States is in the shape of little wads or twistings. Seldom if ever are full heads of hair taken nor are queues used. It is one of the strange facts of the trade that although thousands of queues have been cut in Hongkong in the last several months-sone 15,0OO is the report-the hair has not been sold.
 The local hair establishment operat- ed by an American expert is working hair into the most modern shapes for the export trade. The hair is first combed into lengths. It.is then washed in soda, soft soap and ammonia, is dried and then bOiied for one day in plain water. It is again dried and then boiled for one day in plain water. It is again dried and then treated to four or five chemicals. according to its condi- ton. to sterilize. preserve and render 1t fit for use It is then bleached, washed again and prepared in differ ent colors and packed.
 The raw or unprepared hair is shipped to Europe and the United States without preparation other than the Immigration done under the super vision of the United States public health and marine hospital representa- tive attached to the consulate general However. the trade is changing materi- ally. There has been considerable trouble in the trade in the last two

NO HAIR FROM CHINESE DEAD.
American Consul Says That Story Is
 Not Based on Fact.

There is considerable misapprehen- sion in America and Europe as to the human hair trade in China. The trade has increased immensely in the last few years. although it appears to have reached a turning point Its growth in Hongkong has been little short of phenomenal.
 In 1907 the exports of human hair from Hongkong to the United States were Salued at $41.SS0; in 1908 the value had increased to $92.20s; in 1909 the sales reached s327,55s; in 1910 the
