skull 10000 Years Old.

At the time of finding the fossil MIR
WooIley considered it nothing more
than stone of Unusual form and
structure. and took it home to his
children, who have called 1t their In
dian doll baby. The features in the
fossil are very distinct. the mouth be
ing especially large in proportion to
the other features.
DIR. Curlette said in discussing the
fossil:
This fossil was found in stream,
and the action Of the water upon 1t un-
doubtedly accounts for the reduced
size. and to some extent the deface-
ment OF the features,

assistants: while today there are only
s8 boats in service on this. one of the
few canals in this state still used for
freight purposes.
Although Capt. Reppert was not
then employed as canal boatman, he
easily remembers when, in 1849, the
first steam barge called Experiment"
came all the way from Wilmington,
Del, through the Delaware river, and
thence piled through the waters OF the
Schuylkill to the coal regions, carry
ing on the return trip 115 tons of coal.
He remembers when the first large
steam barge, known In 1852 as the
Daniel p. Shenfelder, was built at
Reading and carried coal down the
Schuylkill into the Union canal, and
finally found its course all the way to
Albany, N. Y. This boat. had ca
pacity Of 152 tons.
He also recalls the packet boats
that carried passengers from Reading
to Philadelphia and return. They left
Reading at A o'clock every morning
and arrived In Philadelphia at 6
o'clock in the evening There was q
relay of horses every 10 or IL miles.
The boats were known as the Planet
and the Swan. A year later. in 1S47,
other packet boats were put in serv.

sengers.
When Capt Reppert started his life
as a tow-path trotter, the smaller canal
boats were still in use-boats 10 feet
wide. 40 feet long and carrying from
Is to 30 tons.
