BONES OF PRIMITIVE MEN

Eleven skeletons Of primitive men,
with foreheads sloplng directly back
from the eyes, and with two rows OF
teeth In the front Of the upper Jaw.
have been uncovered in Craigshill. ut
Ellensburg, Wash. They were found
about 20 feet below the surface. 20
feet back from the face OF the slope,
In n cement rock formation over
which was a layer Of shalo. The rock
was perfectly dry.
The Jaw bones, With easily break.
are SO large that they will so around
the face Of the man Of today. The
other bones are also much larger than
those OF the ordinary man, The fe-
muir is 20 inches long. indicating,
scientists say, a man of so inches tall.
]. p. MunsoH. professor of biology
in the state normal school. visited the
spot and pronounced them the bones
Of q primitive man. The teeth in front
are worn almost down to the Jaw
bones, due, DR., Munson says, to eat.
ing uncooked foods and crushing hard
substances with the teeth. The slop.
ing skull, he says, shows an extreme.
ly low order of intelligence, far
earlier than that Of the Indians
known TO the whites.

the bait would be in the form OF some
sweettasting secretion. On allghting,
the birds would probably not find the
adhesive fluid which the leaves would
produce more than slightly annoying.
The movements which they would
make in an endeavor to free them.
selves, would be all-suflcient 70 give
the stimulus to the sensitive tentacles.
These would rapidly close In on their
prey, and in a few moments escape
would be out OF the question. Finally,
the unfortunate birds would perish
miserably, the bodies In their decay
yielding to the plant the heterogeneous
matter desired.
The butterworts are at the present
time innocent-looking plants rather at
tractive In appearance. These species,
as is well known, find their home In
Doggy tracts. where they spread their
foliage on the surface Of the ground
in the form Of a rosette. II the leaves
OF the butterwort are closely exam.
ined, It will be seer that they are
thickly covered with two sets Of
glands, one set Of which Is plainly Wis.
ible to the naked rye. This visible set
resembles a miniature mushroom.
while the other set is microscopic and
Is formed OF eight cells grouped after
the manner of a wart or a knob. It Is
the practice OF these glands whenever
they ONE into contact with any OBJ
ject to pour out copiously a mucilagin-
Gus fluid, which acts much In the same
way as bird lime. Acid secretion IL
also produced. which aids the leaf IN
the digestion OF the obtect-supposing
that the capture should be an insect
In order TO make assurance doubly
sure, the edge OF the leaf in certain
species Is seen to curl slowly inward.
Now we can imagine that in the very
far.away future with which we arc
dealing. the Pinguicula will develop
leaves which will hardly be less than
Ave or six feet In length. These lying
along the surface Of the ground will
make a special appeal to grazing ami.

70 HELPS
NOT ALWAYS BEHIND EUROPE
Many Of Americas Big centers OF
Population Take the Lead In
Some Matters.

New York City alone secure q
larger revenue from land values than
do the much-heralded %"unearned in
crement" taxes Of all the cities OF
Germany and all the taxes OF the reVo-
lutionary Lloyd George budget OF
1909 combined. The total collections
OF New York City from this source
amount to approximately {6O,OOo,OOO
q year. l think It may fairly be
claimed that we have made more
progress in local taxation than have
any cities in the world.
It must be remembered, too, that
many activities of the American city
are efficiently performed. Our lib
rary systems are models. In this we
have been pioneers. The rapid de-
velopment OF public and private
libraries, the extension Of branches,
the opening Of reading rooms and IL
brary centers, the use Of pictures n
c%hildren's departments show the pos
sibilities Of our municipal democracy
when the laws OF the state permit
It to grow Is It will.
Commissions come to America 70
study u library methods Just as
commissions go from this country to
Europe 70 study their municipal
achievements. The park systems OF
our cities are Of the same high order.
Our development in recent years has
been phenomenal. Not only are our
parks generous in area, but they have
been laid out by experts In a TAR
sighted way. The Boston system Is
said to be the most comprehensive OF
any in the world, while those Of Chi
cago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington, Kansas City, Den
yer, and a score of lesser cities COM
pare favorably with those Of any
cities Of Europe.
America, too, led the way In play
ground development, as well as In the
wider use of the schoolhouse and the
social center. The exhibits Of the
American city in these activities at
the Berlin Town Planning exposition
were accepted as in advance Of those
Of Europe.
From the very beginning u fire
departments have been honestly and
efficiently administered. These, too,
have been models for foreign cities
For the most part, they have been
free from the spoils system. Merit
has been recognized in the selection
Of chiefs. New appliances have been
rapidly introduced and an esprit de
corps has been created like that Of
the army and the navy. G. Howe

WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Manner Of Laying Out the Streets Of
a New Town Should Be Most
Carefully Considered.

For outlying districts, narrow, wind
ing, or diagonal streets make 1t pos
sible to spend more on the sanitation
OF the homes, declares q man who
has made a study of city planning.
Where traflc Of the future promises
to be dense and a wide street may at
some time be wise, in the intervening
years a narrow paved area, bordered
by grass and trees, Is good economy,
good sense, and good health.
AS between rectangular streets ex-
clusively and a combination in which
some of the streets are diagonal and
some rectangular, Robinson says
aesthetics, sanitation, and convent
ence all favor the latter.
In Vienna the crowds are handled
with less inconvenience than In any
other city, and there the cars come
in on diagonal streets to the Rig
strasse, which they follow around to
deliver their passengers as near as
possible to their destinations.
Robinson says: "The two diagonal
streets, Broadway and the Bowery,
In New York saved for the city
breathing spots like Madison and
Union squares-space out Of reach II
condemnation had been required"
