Angry at spy's Sentence

Berlin, January, 6.--Not all INK
people Of the Stone Age lived in hole
in the earth or similar rude bur
rows, in the opinion Of Professor
Karl Schurchardt director of the
prehistoric section Of the Royal Mu-
scum Of Ethnology
Excavations made under him in
Lissdorf, near hamburg, hav
brought 10 light houses of the neo-
llthic period in which the professor
'tetieves he has distinguished be-
tween a bedroom and general living
room lie believes also that some OF
he houses had cellar, showing that
prehistoric man was perhaps more
oroyident and foresight2d than had
heen believed.
Professor Schuchardt thinks that
the burrows found in settlements
Of the now Stone Age were more like
~ designed for storehouses than for
dwelling places He believes he has
discovered in these recent excava-
tions that the floors of the houses
rere even covered with rude boards
Hollaw in the earth under the bed
room" he thinks, were filled with
leaves, grass or something of the
sort, and skins were laid on this to
form the beds.
Additional detales about the sau-
ran petrifactions unearthed in Ger
man East Africa show that the bones
of several of them are from one-and-
a-half to twice as long as those of
the djplodocus presented to the Ber-
lin Museum by, Andrew Carnegie
and which was the largest skeleton
hitherto known.
The ribs Of one of the African
saurians are SO feet long, while the
Greatest length for the Carnegie
diplodocus is e1 feet. The shoulder
blade of the African is ca feet again
st A feet for the American The
upper Joint of the foreeg of the AZ
rican animal measures 60 feet while
the American sausians is only 81
feet,
1t appears that the German sicen-
lists have hitherto been able to oh
tain the parts Of five complete skele-
tons, but their exploration of the de-
post Is still far from completed
The indignation caused in Eng
land by the fact that the English spy
Max Schultz, q born German, was
sentenced by the supreme court to
long term in the penitentiary
whereas the two English officers
French and Brandon, were sentenced
year ago only to detention in a
fortress for spying, has been received
with some surprise in the German
press.
1t is held that Schultz's offensf
was of much graver character be-
cause he bribed German engineers to
commit treason by revealing infor-
nation to him which it was highly
important for the welfare of the En-
pire to keep secret, while the two
officers named merely travelled about
from place to place and noted their
own observations. Moreover, these
latter were carrying out, as was as
sumed, the orders of their superior
officers, whereas Schultz was a hired
spy This early repetition of espi-
onage in Germany by England has
made a bad impression In political
circles; and in some quarters it is
demanded that a law be passed pro
viding for more rigorous punish
ment for spying,
The frequent occurrence OF earth
quakes in South Germany and swift
erland for month or more is caus.
ing much discussion among German
scientists. They hold that these al.
most daily shocks have a common
origin, which they assumed to be
structural requirements far beneath
the surface OF the earth, similar tc
what must have accompanied theup
heaval of the Alps.
