Old Henley ROWING Match.

1t Is a far cry from Henley to Ven
ice. but there IS at any rate one con-
nection between them. For our first
English regatta was introduced from
Venice. and took place off Ranelagh
Gardens in 1775. I Contemporary &C
counts give us full details of the fes-
tivities and the splendor of the lord
mayors barge, but have not much to
say about the racing, which was con-
fined to the professional watermen.
1t is curious fact that our early row
ing was almost entirely fosterd by the
proprietors OF London's places OF
amusement. VauXhall Gardens Of
fered prizes each year. and Ashley, Of
circus fame. was an early patron OF
the sport.
II was not until the nineteenth Gen.
fury that rowing ceased to be regard
ed as merely hard work by the anna
teur sportsmen. The Leander club
was formed about 1918. and the first
mention of rowing at our public
schools occurs five years before. Then
the sport went ahead by leaps and
bounds, and by 1889 the need OF a
central spot for an annual regatta was
felt. and Henley was chosen after
due consideration of rival sites.

Too Much Sleep Injurious.

Many people look forward to a
holiday as time when they can sleep
as much as they like. but widely
known Swiss doctor maintains that
the benefits of a holiday may be
neutralized by too much sleep. More
than eight hours for healthy people
who work with their brains is. gen.
orally speaking, too much, he says.
In high attitudes five hours OF good,
refreshing sleep is quite enough at
holiday times. Nervous people are
apt to remain in bed. half asleep and
half awake, longer than Is good for
them This sleep specialist believes
that such people ought to get up as
soon as they awake. and never give
way to the fascination OF dreaming
half awake Too much sleep he pro
nounces to be as bad for US as toe

Walks With Neck Broken.

Waldorf Miller, who broke his neck
driving from the rocks at Hudson
Park two years ago, put his crutches
under his arms the other afternoon.
with the intention OF walking to the
place OF the accident from his home
on Clifton avenue, a distance of two
miles. He hobbled along for a quar-
ter of a mile and then had TO give
up the attempt But he got there
anyway, for a friend who was passing
in machine drove him the remain
ing distance.
Fred Miller, Waldorfs brother.
broke his neck In the same manner
at the same spot five years ago and
died. When Waldorf was fished out
OF the water two years ago the doc
tors said he could live only a few
hours. Since then he has improved
steadily.

londoners long-llved.

Life in a great city does not nee
essarily lead to physical degeneration.
There died a London fish hawker
about four years ago who could trace
his family back 200 years and had
never heard of any addition OF country
blood He died within a few weeks
of his golden wedding, and left TWEEN
ty-one children, seventy-one grand
children and twenty greatgrandchil-
dren. None OF the children married
out of the London district in which
they lived, except a soldier son who
emigrated. The old man piled his
trade until within two days of his
death and could pull his barrow
twenty miles; he had sinews like a
young 'un and not corn on bis
feet"

CULTURE IN THE STONE AGE
That Measure of II Excited Has
Been AhundantIy Proved by
Scientific Research.

The discovery of certain caves In
southwestern Europe brings US near
to the men of the old stone age. Their
history extends from the close Of the
last glacial age, say $4,000 to 2Oo,OOo
years ago, to the arrival of the men or
the new stone age, perhaps lO,ooo
years ago. We now know that these
early men had a crude form OF reli-
gion, that their dead were properly
buried, that among them were un-
doubtedly chiefs or rulers, and GER
tainly hunters and flint makers. Their
primitive implements are interesting
and surprisingly modern For instance,
they used toothpicks, So states the
director of the Ecole Odontotechnique
in Paris. Now, however we have other
evidence of an early age than Its prlm-
tive implements. If the Industrial MS
tory Of our race was begun by these
artisans they were succeeded by art
lists. To the stone implements there
succeeded bone implements, and CO
incident with the bone there appeared
attempts at sculpture and painting, as
we now find from discoveries in
France and Spain. To get to the his
tory of art, therefore, we no longer
need to go to Egypt or Assyria, but to
the caves of France and Spain. They
contain the first preserved paintings.
How old are they? Anywhere from
$4,000 to more than 100000 years old,
according to the authority consulted.
What is Of more interest. however, Is
the fact that, as these works of art dis
close, the cave mans life was doubt
less superior to that Of his nomad bre-
Their of the plains. For, according 10
