Dog Laid to Rest

Reposing in a silk-lined casket. COW

Laddie, the Scotch shepherd dog of
Miss E. Lindsay and her brother, A. G..
Lindsay, of Montclair. was inferred,
after more real tears had been shed
over his bier than over that of many

Laddie was more famous in his death
than in his life. In fact, he became SO
famous after it was known his master
and mistress had spent 500 for the
casket and flowers that they finally
buried him secretly on a neighbours
estate, so hat the feet OF the curious
and unsympathetic should NOT trample
on his grave.
While the body of Laddie, who was
10 years old, lay in state In the p~alatial
home of the Lindsays, in Orange road,
many called to pay their last respects
to the Scotch shepherd dog. They were
all profoundly impressed by the grief
displayed by Miss Lindsay n her
brother. They lavished terms Of en-
dearment on the dead Laddie and Mr..
Lindsay shed tears.

material When the bones were reached 1t was
found that they were in such friable state as to
necessitate the strata in which they lay being
dug up in large Jumps; and as it of the
greatest Importance to have them at once placed
in the hands of experts, they were forwarded the
same evening to the Royal College Of Surgeons
London where they most carefully and
skilfully examined by Prof. Arthur Keith, the con-
servator of the college. During the next week the
strata each side of the place where the skeleton
was found were examined and reported on by Mr..
w. Whitaker, FRS, DR.. ]. e. Mari, FRS and
Mr. George Slater, FIGS. The chalky boulder
clay under which the bones were lying, covers
immense area in East Anglia, and is landmark
in Plelstocene geology 1t owes its origin to the
ice-sheet associated with the last episode Of the
great Ice Age, and its antiquity may be gagged
from the fact that since its deposition most of
our present river valleys have been formed, Be-
fore the chalky boulder clay was laid down there
was apparently a sandy landsurface to the north
of Ipswich and on this landsurface lived the man
whose remains have been found. The flint nipple
ments he and his associates made which were,
no doubt, lying on the land-surface before the ad-
vance of the ice have been found in some abun-
dance in the boulder clay, and at the junction Of
the clay with the glacial sand, and, therefore at
exactly the same horizon the bones themselves
occurred. These implements, and those from the
underlying middleglacal gravel though very
skilfuly made, are of pre-Palaeolithic forms, and
there is no doubt that in pre-boulder clay times
the true Paaeolthic stage of culture had not been
reached.
Yet the man who lived in Britain in the inter
glacial period before the boulder clay laid
down, and who is, therefore, of vast and I'M
Nlnown antiquity, was to all intents and purposes
modern man. He stood about feet 10 inches in
height; his head was perhaps trihe smaller and
fatter than present-day examples but there was
nothing brutal or simian in his appearance
Now, the Neanderthal men whose remains have
been frequently found in caves and rock shelters
In the south Of France and elsewhere, and who
lived in these districts in mid Palaeolithic times
and are therefore, much less ancient than the
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1912-05-29

Ipswich man, show distinctly primitive and some
what siman characteristics The implements
which they made are also of more simple type
than those found in the riverterrace graVeis'
which are nevertheless more ancient Therefore
If We are to judge of the type of man from the I'M
plements he made, the earlier river-drift man was
of a more advanced type than the later Mouste
rian or Neanderthal man. The famous find at
Galley Hill of portions of a human skeleton in
the very ancient 100foot terrace of the Thames
has proved this to be true; for here we have
type of skull which is by no means degraded, and
associated with flint implements which show an
advanced civilization.
Thus the evidence of the hints and the evidence
Of the human bones are in entire agreement;
but the 100foot terrace of the Thames at Upmin-
ster, in Essex, rests upon, and is therefore less
ancient than, the chalky boulder clay, and under
this boulder clay at Ipswich a modern type of
man has been found! And yet not quite modern,
for the Ipswich mans tbia, or shin-bone, is differ
ent in every way from ours and not only ours,
but from any which have hitherto been found or
described This peculiar tiba, which, as Profes-
sor Keith says, represents stage in evolution,
and will serve to distinguish the race to which
this man belonged, was no doubt associated with
his manner Of walking, but at present it Is inn
possible to say exactly what this association
The finding of a modern type of man below the
Chalky boulder clay is, has been suggested, at
first sight rather puzzling, but the dexterously
faxed implements which have been found in the
older middleglacal gravels and the still much
older detritus bed below the red crag make the
discovery much more easy to understand The
outstanding fact about this discovery is that even
at such an immensely remote period that pre-
ceking the deposition of the chalky boulder clay,
modern NAH already evolved, and that to find
the primitive human type shall have to carry
our Investigations back into a still more dim and
distant past.
The Neanderthal man of the earlier Ice Age Is
the oldest known Europeon. OF this type Prof.
Arthur Keith in Ancient Types of Man." says
1--WE know now that the men who lived in
Europe during the earlier and greater part of the
Glacial Period-one estimated to have extended
over period of from 100000 to 100000 years
were of the Neanderthal type. . A compari-

CO..; indeed 1880 &C. is usually accepted as an
average for modern man. The earliest trace OF
the Neanderthal type of man yet found was dis
covered in the valley of the Neckar, some six
miles above Heidelberg. Only lower
jaw was found The Heidelberg man had
a massive jaw. One can be absolutely
certain that the head form of the Heidelberg man
was of the Neanderthal shape. In the
manner of head fixation Neanderthal man retains
a distinct trace of the anthropoid FORM
The earliest trace Of the skeleton of man yet
found in Europe must be assigned to period
which carries us back many hundred thousands
of years. Yet even at that early date we
find man already evolved, british perhaps in ap
pearance, savage, no doubt in his nature-yet
large-brained, erect in posture and in every sense
Of the bologist-a man"
OF the type known as Pithecanthropus erectus,
called the missing link" DR.. w. J. 9ollas in
Ancient Hunters says:
Or Eugene Dubois, who had left Holland for
Java with the avowed intention Of finding the
missing link, discovered in September, 1891, a
molar tooth the wisdom tooth Of Pithecan-
thropus erectus later the cranial vault, or
the skull-cap, found. The thigh bone
of the left leg was found lying fifty feet away
from the spot where the first tooth obtained,
but still on the same horizon, and finally In Octo
Der 1892, another molar tooth de-
scription of the remains Of Pithecanthropus has
been published by Dr. Dubois All are
agreed that they indicate animal bearing a
close resemblance to men and apes. Some re-
gard PithecanthTopus as an ape with certain
human characters; others a man with evident
smian characters; others as a connecting
link midway between man and the higher apes
The suggestion has even been made that the re-
mains are those Of a unacceptable idiot
That which distinguishes man from all the beasts
of the field is the power and complexity of his
mind Thus the chief interest in the
Trinil fossil attaches to the skull-cap or brain
pan this is certainly more simian than
human. The animal has been fttingIy
designated Pithecanthropus erectus-the ape
who walked erect"

1T is strange. perhaps, that the Ca

OF the state of South Carolina for
many years should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
but II is a fact nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In-
dams, so far as my knowledge goes.
that have always been friends Of the
white man. They never took the blood
Of a white man, and during all the
early struggles Of the whites against
the. Indians the Catawbas remained
tn. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
cd that territory, and they have re-
NAMED there.
For a long time the Cherokees oc-
cupied the same territory, and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent. In all the struggles the Ca.
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many OF the settlers
in South Carolina.
THE state government, after having
taken care OF these Indians for so
many years, now is seeking TO have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, so that they can, in
common with other Indians. have
lands allotted to them and become
American citizens, which is only Just
and fair. Washington Post
