The Ancient Thames.

At one of the corners of Lineoln's
Inn Fields just now strong navvies,
oblivious of the romance of their en-
vironment, may be seen delving
through the sand of the bed of the
prehistoric Thames. 1t is the south
west corner. where lately some old
gabled houses have been pulled down
to make way for the new office of the
public trustee. 4 deep excavation
has been sliced down through about
twenty feet of soil. opening a page
written with the record of unnum-
bered centuries.
Below the top layer of modern soil
you see dark streak of rubbly stuff,
which is probably Roman in origin.
Below this is a stratum of a different
character which experts suggest is n
deposit of glacial times. Below this
again is a thin bed of soii-an earth
surface on which no doubt some
representative of mankind roamed
along the river margin after his prey.
In such a. deposit as this the relics of
prehistoric man have been found--the
kind of man known to the scientists
as Neanderthal man.
And then we come down to a deep
cutting through pure river sand-the
actual bed this of a long-forgotten
Thames. 1t is piece of what is
known as the sixty-foot terrace
formed in days when the Thames ran
in channel sixty feet higher than
its present bed-and when, conse-
quently the whole configuration of the
country was entirely different.
We have to imagine a Thames
which flowed over huge areas of mod
ern London. In some still earlier
geological epoch the middle bed of the
river was somewhere about the posi-
ton of the Angel at Islington-the
lO0-foot terrace-and long ages earlier
still, before it had bored out it's enor-
nous channel, you find the 200-foot
terrace at Highbury. Unfortunately
nothing has been picked up in the
Lincoln's Inn cutting to add to our
knowledge of the palaeolithic London
ers.-Manchester Guardian

Schopenhauer, the German philos-

markable examples of self-complacen-

naive eulogiums on his own produc-

writing to his publishers of his work
he says: Its worth and importance

NOTHING TO FEAR
Wilson Issues ReasSuring Mes
sage to the Country.
He Sends Good Wishes to Taft
and Roosevelt.

Princeton. Nov. 6-Governor Wilson
this afternoon issued a statement in
which he declared that There is alb
soIuteIy nothing for the honest and
enlightened business men of the coun-
try to fear,' from the Democrat ad-
ministration. To President Taft at
Washington Mr.. Wilson sent the fol-
lowing telegram:
Il warmly appreciate your kind mes
sage and wish to express my sincere
personal regards
To Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, he
sent the following telegram:
My sincerest thanks for your kind
message. Pray accept my cordial good
wishes"
Governor Wilson made the follow
ing statement: The result fills me
with the hope that the thoughtful
progressive forces of the nation may
now at last unite to give the country
freedom of enterprise and a govern
ment released from all corporate and
private influences devoted to justice
and progress.
There is absolutely nothing for the
honest and enlightened business men
of the country to fear. No man
whose busines is conducted with out
violation of the rights OF free compe-
tition and without such private un-
derstanding, secret alliances as vio-
late the principle of our law and the
policy of all wholesome commerce and
enterprise nede fear either interfer-
ence or EN- barrassment from the ad-
ministration.
Our hop and purpose is now to
bring all the free forces of the nation
into executive and intelligent cooper
alton and to give to our prosperity
freshness and spirit and a confidence
such as it has not had in our time.
THE responsibilities of the task are
tremendous, but they are common re-
sponsibilities which all leaders of ac-
ton and opinion must share. And
with the confidence of the people be-
hind us everything that is right is
possibly My own ambition will be
more than satisfied if 1 may be per
mitted to be the frank spokesman of
the nations thoughtful purposes in
these great matters

Wilson varied from 13 to something
over 400 and with many districts yet
to be counted, the electoral vote re-
mained at issue between the Democrat
and Republican candidates. The Roose-
welt victory in Illinois showed signs
of being greatly reduced as the
down state precincts came in dur
ing the early morning hours.
In the majority of states the record
vote was larger than at any previous
presidential election, and the final re
turns on the actual number of ballots
cast for the three candidates is ex-
pected to exceed all records. The di
vision of the Republican vote between
Taft and Roosevelt resulted in Demo-
crat victories in many states. In New
York the Democrats carried the state
ticket and the Legislature. In Illinois
the Democrat candidate for governor
apparently carried the state. Demo-
crat senators appear certain as sue
cessors to Republicans from Colorado,
New Jersey, Delaware, Montana and
SeVeral other states.
