Ipswich man show distinctly primitive and some
what simian characteristics. The implements
which they made are also of more simple type
than those found in the river-terrace graveis'
which are nevertheless more ancient. therefore,
if We to judge of the type of man from the in-
pements he made the earlier rver-drift man was
of more advanced type than the later Mouste-
rian or Neanderthal man. The famous nnd at
Galley Hill of portions of 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 means degraded, and
associated with flint implements which show an
advanced civilization.
Thus the evidence of the f1ints and the evidence
of the human bones are in entire agreement;
but the 100foot terrace of the Thames at Upmln-
ster in Essex rests upon, and is therefore less
ancient than the chalky boulder clay, and under
this boulder clay at Ipswich modern type OF
man has been foundi And yet not quite modern,
for the Ipswich mans tiba, 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 tibia, which, as Profess
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 i'm
possible to say exactly what this association was.
The finding of modern type Of below the
chalky boulder clay is as has been suggested, at
first sight rather puzzling, but the dexterously
faxed implements which have been found In the
older niddle-glac1al gravels and the stu much
older detritus bed below the red crag, make the
discovery much more easy to understand The
outstanding fact about this discovery is that
at such an immensely remote period that pre-
ceding the deposition of the chalky boulder clay,
modern was already evolved, and that to find
the primitive human type we 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:
I'VE know that the men who lived in
Europe during the earlier and greater part of the
Glacial Peri0d-one estimated to have extended
over period Of from 100000 to 100000 years
were of the Neanderthal type. : compari-

which carries back many hundred thousands

material. When the bones were reached 1t was
found that they in such friable state as to
necessitate the strata in which they lay being
dug up in large Jumps; and as it was 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 an
immense area in East Anglia and is landmark
In Pleistocene 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
present river valleys have been formed. Be
fore the chalky boulder clay was laid down there
apparently sandy landsurface to the north
of Ipswich and this 1andsurface lived the man
whose remains have been found. The flint imple-
ments he and his associates made which were,
no doubt lying on the land-surface before the adj
vance of the ice, have been found in some album
dance in the boulder clay, and at the junction of
the clay with the glacial sand, and, therefore, at
exactly the same horizon as the bones themselves
occurred These Implements and those from the
underlying middle-glacial gravel though very
skilfully made, are of pre-Palaeolithic FORMS and
there is doubt that in pre-boulder clay times
the true Palaeothic stage of culture had not been
reached.
Yet the who lived in Britain in the inter
glacial period before the boulder clay was laid
down. and who is therefore, of a vast and
known antiquity, was to all intents and purposes
modern man. He stood about feet 10 inches in
height: his head was perhaps tride smaller and
hatter than presentday examples, but there was
nothing brutal or simian in his appearance.

Attention Is Turned to 1t as Result of
Coal Strike-May Result in De-
veIopment of Resources
Now Little Used.

Dublin.-The coal strike in Great
Britain has sent up the price of coal
to such an extent in Ireland that the
idea of turning to peat fuel as sub
stitute for coal is being seriously con-
sidered. A considerable quantity OF
turf is consumed in Dublin at present,
not indeed as an alternative to coal.
but as an auxiliary to it. The poor
use it instead of firewood to light their
fires in the morning, and it is also
used chiefly by bacon curers, who
find that turf smoked bacon has an
agreeable flavor. A new aesthetic
taste also accounts for the consump-
ton of further small quantity.
Many Dublin people who have been
caught by the glamor or the Irish Ian
guage movement and have spent holi-
days in Irish speaking districts in the
south or west of Ireland in the sum

their own drawing rooms in Dublin

stead of coal in their fires. There are

is true, not only in Dublin, but even
In so-called Orange Belfast.
However, all this consumption OF
peat is a mere trifle compared with
the consumption OF coal What is now

Ireland's Wealth in Peat

using peat as a substitute for coal.
Ireland would be the Weather by
thousands of millions of dollars il its
peat boys could be turned to account
on a sound commercial basis. The
area of bog in Ireland is nearly 1,0OO,-
900 acres, or about 5 per cent. OF the
surface of the country. The Bog OF
Allen stretches across the great GEN.
trail plain, and in the west OF Ireland
there are districts in which peat COW
ers from 20 to 80 per cent. OF the en-
tire surface.
Most of this peat area is at present
living waste. Two or three companies
make peat moss litter in comparative
ly small quantities, and in very re-
mote districts the turf is cut and used
as fuel by the farmers. With the ex-
ception Of the more or less artificial
use of turf already referred to, these
are the only uses to which peat is ap-
piled in Ireland.
The methods of preparing peat for
fuel are very primitive and would
have to be changed completely to
make peat fuel real competitor with
coal. An attempt was made some
years ago to make turf briquettes, but
the scheme, though it promised well,
did not turn out as successfully as
was expected and the company, like
the turf itself, crumbled to pieces. The
moisture was squeezed out OF the peat
by compression and the briquettes
when fresh seemed to be just the
thing that was wanted, but whatever
defect there was in the preparation OF
them they were not able to stand the
knocking about they got in the rail-
road wagons and canal boats.

FISH SUPPORT TOWN
Ancnovy Found in Large Quanti-
ties in Holland.
Fact Is Not Widely Known-Sppposl.
ton That Mediterranean Sea Has
Monopoly of Industry Is Err
roneous.

The Hague, Holland.-The coat OF
arms OF Enkhuizeu, one OF the dead
cities of the Zuyder zee, bears three
silver fishes, which, it is explained,
are anchovies; for Enkhuizen owed
a great part of it's prosperity to the
anchovy fisheries.
1t is generally supposed that the
anchovy is caught exclusively in the
Mediterranean sea, so it comes as a
surprise to most people to hear that
1t is SO largely caught off the coasts
of Holland. Dutch fishermen have
been familiar for ages with the fact
that the anchovy comes up in great
shoals at certain times OF the year
and enters the Zuyder zee to spawn.
There have, however, been consider
able lapses of time when no anchovies
at all appeared, and when it was
feared that the Dutch fisher folk had
lost their means Of earning livelf-
hood, then, suddenly, without any. ap-
parent reason, the shoals of fish again
became regular visitors. These last
few years the anchovy has been par
ticularly plentiful Many Zuyder zee
fisherman has made his living for the
whole year during the anchovy sea-
son, which lasts from six to eight
weeks, and as much as 1000 forms
($400) worth have been known to be
taken in single day.
Formerly the method of capturing a
shoal of anchovy consisted in stretch
Ing an enormous net with small mesh
es between two boats. This net
touched the sea bottom. Then the
boats hoisted sail and the more wind
there was the better pleased were the
fishermen. They sailed on for while
and then when the net was lifted 1t
contained thousands of silvery fishes.
Later on they preferred to fish with
stationary nets, because more fish
could be caught in that way. Each
fisherman places. his own nets in a
certain part of the sea, and after a
while comes to see whether they have
been filled with fish.
The anchovy brings plenty of work
for many another category of persons
than the regular fishermen. For the
nsn nave to be cleaned, sailed and
packed into casks. The cleaning is
done almost exclusively by women and
children, the sailing occupies the
"salter" and the making of the many
casks employs little army of coop
ers. Then the packing is also done
by experienced hands in such way
that the anchovy can be kept for many
years without spelling.
The herring fishers also often se-
cure millions of anchovy near the
coasts of Holland. For as soon as
they perceive a shoal coming their
way they will fix anchovy netting into
their herring nets, and so often Sc
cure almost miraculous hauls.
The anchovy is small fish, the full
grown specimen being only fifteen Gen.
timeters (5.9 inches) long. The back
of this fish is blush and the under
parts are white, glistening like silver
in the sunshine.

since been solved in Sweden and in
other countries and this fact has given
encouragement to Irishmen to take
the matter up again. The coal strike
has brought the question within the
range of practical things as nothing

AUTO PARTY WILL
 WINTER IN TEMPE
J. R. Linn and Family of Salem, Ore. Arrives in Tempe to Spend the
 Cold Months.

Accompanied by his wife and two daughters, and the family mascot, a white Scotch collie dog, J. R. Linn of Salem. Ore. arrived in Tempe late Monday afternoon in his new loco mobile auto to spend the remainder Of the winter The trip as far as Long Beacn. Cal, was made by rail, that being their destination when leaving the northern state. The next change to Arizona looked more fla vorable if 1t were accomplished in an automobile, and hence the overland trip to Tempe.
 The attention of the Linn family upon first thought of coming to Arizona was primarily directed to Tempe by the presence of Miss Ruth NJ. Wright. librarian at the normal. Miss Wright for several years made her residence while living in oregon with the Linn family. and conse- quently when they came south their attention was naturally directed to spot where friend might be found
 The trip overland from Long Beach was made without a mishap. The southern route through Yuma and Agua CaIiente was chosen to make the trip. The only real novel experience that the party encountered was spending a night in the middle of an Arizona desert. When it was found impossible to strike permanent quarters that particular night camp was made where darkness overlook them The remainder of the night was spent by MT. Linn in keeping up the fire while the rest of the party made themselves as comfortable as possible under the prevailing cir cumstances.
 Mir Linn plans to spend about a month in Tempe with his family. af- ter which he will return to Salem to look after business interests. As the visit is made to Tempe for the benefit of the younger daughters health, it is likely that Mrs. Linn and the two children will remain iL Tempe until late spring.
