SCIENTIST SAYS MONKEYS
ARE DESCENDED FROM MAN

lhf MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIKI
New York, Nov 14.-Dr. j. Leon
williams Of London, an eminent au-
thority on anthropology and geology.
arrived today from Liverpool with
fifteen skulls Of prehistoric men, one
of which he estimated to be 100000
Years old. This skull was found by
workmen near Folkestone, England,
in strata that dated back before the
Pleistoeene era, and its existence and
discovery have confirmed DR.. viii
liams in the belief that mankind is at
least half a million years old.
Or. Williams said the finding Of
these ancient skulls and other hu-
man bones did not dlsproye, In his
opinion, the Darwinian theory, but
altered it in some degree. Instead Of
man being a descendant Of the ape.
Or. Williams said, these skulls tend
to confirm the belief that the anthro-
poid ape was an off-shot Of primitive
man.

OLD BOY
IS MASTER Of

Words Like "SpOndyIotherapy''
and "PoIycopIedon" Baby
Talk Of Youngster.

DETROIT. Sept. 20.-"The boy witH
the mirror brain" is what they call
4-year-old George Herbert VanVlee..
His exceptional mental activity dates
back to early babyhood.
At an age when the average young
ster's vocabulary consists of a series
Of sounds that no one but a doting
parent could by any stretch OF the
imagination construe as representing
even "googoo." George was talking
distinctly. repeating words that would
stump many a grown-up.
By the time he was 16 months old
he astonished physicians who had
ben attracted by stories Of his ability
when such simple words as spondylo-
therapy polycotyledon, mataptergold,
limnanthaceae rolled off his tongue as
easily as II they contained but one
syllable.
To-day, just turned 4, there is not a
word in the English language that,
having heard once, he will not repeat,
with astonishing clearness of enun-
citation.
he mas never been taught to read.
All letters look alike to him when
they are coupled together.
I'VE have never crowded George in
the least" said Mr.. VanVleet, when
the fear was expressed that such
precocity, If encouraged, might lead -
mental breakdown in a short time.
1T is only necessary for him to hear
anything once. A statement settles
back in his brain to be brought forth
at will We have never undertaken
to teach him to read, as we wee
fearful of imposing too severe q
strain. How one small head man
ages to contain such mass of de-
tail is too much for me. I only know
that 1t does and 1 willing to ct
someone else do the explaining"
In other RESPECTS George is an or
binary, wideawake, fun-loving young
ster to whom life is one round Of Joy.
He is fond of the games common with
children of his age ami is popular
with his playmates. Bat when AL
these pail, he seeks relief in porting
over maps or in other ways acquir-
ing fund of information out OF all
keeping with his years.

English Sparrows
Used to Halt Weevil
Feathered Gamlns Are Welcomed in
Alfalfa Fields of Western
States.

MADISON, WIS, Sept 20.-The
English sparrow has found a claim to
usefulness. The most despised of
birds promises to be Of service in
checking the spread of the alfalfa
weevil.
The spread OF this pest has threat
ened the destruction of the alfalfa
industry in Utah, Wyoming and
Southern Idaho and caused much
alarm among growers Of the plant in
Wisconsin and other Middle Western
States.
That the seed introduction theory
of spread is false has been definitely
proved by T. II. Parks and James G.
Sanders, plant experts, respectively, to
the Idaho Agricultural College and the
University of WiscOnsin's College of
Agriculture. Their Investigations
have shown that the weevil feeds
upon leaves and stems of the plant,
but never upon the seed. On the
other hand, there is every possibility

or It's eggs may be carried from dis

How to Refinish ola Surfaces.

The first thing to do in refinishing
old wood surfaces Is to remove all var
nish and paint This may be done
easily by the use Of good varnish re-
mover. The varnish remover may be
bought at any paint store, says the
WOman's World. 1t is applied with a
brush and allowed to stand for few
minutes: then varnish and paint are
easily removed. If there are any burnt
or stained places 1t may be necessary
to scrape the surface with a piece of
glass. Then the surface is thoroughly
smoothed with sandpaper and Is ready
for new paint or varnish. If 1t is de-
sirable to keep the color and grain Of
the wood as they are clear varnish
may be used which contains the desir-
al color. Jt
