Rhinoceros in EnaIand.

What are stated on the authority
Of the geological survey and the offic-
ials of the British museum, to be the
remains of the head of hippopotamus
and two pieces of an ivory tusk, prob
ably that of a mammoth, have been
discovered on the estate of the Cane
Hill asylum at Coulsdon in Surrey.
There are several considerable frag-
ments of the head of the hippopotamus
which include portions of the jaw with
t.eth IN position, the articulation of the
iawbones, two of the larger teeth, and
some Of the vertebrae and there are
also a number of small parts of bone
which so far ii has not been possible
to piece together.
Discoveries of this nature are not
unusual, though the remains, as a rule,
are not in good state of preserva-
ton. About 10 years ago the skull and
some bones of q hippopotamus were
found near the Kewbridge. little lat
er. IN a brick pit at Ilford. a number
of remains of the pleistocene period
were uncovered. including those of a
mammoth cave bear and woolly rhi-
noceros. When digging for the foun-
dations of the new admiralty buildings
the bones of animals belonging to the
same period were found. But most of
these latter relics were in such a state
that it was difficult to say to what
species they belonged.
The most important find of this de-
scription in recent years was made
nearly 10 years ago--in July, 1903-in
the course of excavations between
Whitefriars street and Salisbury
square. Bones of several extinct ami
1
mails were unearthed. These included a
! very fine skull of the woolly rhinoceros,
| together with part of it's lower Jaw and
| portions of its limb bones. The speci-
| mems were presented to the natural
history museum, where they are now
exhibited.
| The continuation of these ezcaya-
| lions led 20 the discovery of further re-
mains-benes of the rhinoeeros, the
mammoth the reindeer. the horse, and
| the great extinct OK, The woolly rhi-
noceros is represented by a beautifully
complete skull of Il young animal, in
which were still the milk teeth. Curl

was found in 1903 was also discovered,
and the two are now reunited.

which has elapsed since these animals

made, and it is probably more than
$50 900 years. At that time the North

Changing Novels.

The Atlantic Monthly presents new
reviewer of novels this month who con-
fesses to having been a confirmed
reader of novels for fifty or sixty years.
AS children, this anonymous contribu-
tor notes, the predetined novel readers
read chiefly the story; in youth. chiefly
for style and form; and while in ma
turity they may seem to be deyouring
the heaps of fiction as girl eats BON
bon, theys really find i'll them much
food for generalization and a rich COM
tribution to their knowledge of current
emotion. To read with this end in
view is no longer to judge novels chief
ly as literature OF with strictest refer
ence to the canons of perfection,
known and loved aforetime.
I'm the last fifteen years." the writ
or adds, life has rushed into fiction
and trampled those canons a little
rudelv at times. Needless to say the
happiest literary results are still secur
ed when life and art join hands, but
this union is not. today so frequent
or so perfect as enc could desire. If
then, one reads current novels very ex-
tensively, and Judge them, one must
read them for other qualities than their
artistry
SEINE twenty-five years ago, Robert
Bridges made strong complaint Of the
lack of novels dealing with men and
their affairs; there was, he said. field
for tales of business and professions.
At that time this was new suggestion.
Il remember wondering, as | read Mr..
Bridges complaint says the writer,
how noVeists were going to unite the
practical experience necessary to de-
piet large affairs with the retirement
and study necessary to learn to write,

many of the most popular would write
without learning how
Three or four years later began the
still -rising flood of historical romances,
of tales of gore and crime. whose popu-
larity has remained and increased.
Some were pretty enough, and some
were poor, indeed. The average tech
nique of this particular kind OF story
has improved wonderfully in the last
eight years, an amendment largely
due, one suspects, TO tho standards and
rewards of one American perlodlcal
which conspicuously caters to the av-
erage male reader.
"A little later the novel Of achieve
ment, of the material activities of men,
began to come into its reward. Here
lies the future stronghold of the Amer
lean novelist. There is bound to he O
movement in literature rejecting ouI
material expansion and commensurate
with it"
Among other general reflections Is
this interesting one: considering the
conspicuous part played by the fenin-
isl movement in the serious literature
of the day, its reflection in current lit
erature is inconsiderable. This sets on
wondering if the Importance of femin-
ism to the people who really matter

Highs defeat, Saturday afternoon.
when the local High school boys romp-
ed away with the game to the tune of
9to O. before a small crowd on Alumni
field. Not once did the visitors in any
way threaten the plate, and second
base was as far as they were able to
get q man. Moran opened the game
ing out a two-bagger. He was caught
trying to steal third, and after that
the game was all Waterville.
Malholland was in fine form, allow
ing but two hits and not issuing a sim

Rockland was miserable and that,
coupled with several wild throws made
the game anything but interesting.
Rokes, the visiting twirler, was hit
hard and often. but, during the fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh innings, how
ever. he settled down and pitched good
ball. His catcher seemed unable to hold
him. and few runs might have been

An early supporter of the woman sur

who, with John Stuart MILL In 1863, at
tended the first woman suffrage meeting
in London. The following year. however,
Kingsley withdrew from the movement.
In the course of a letter written to Mill,
who asked his reasons, Kingsley wrote:
II am panied, in very large acquain-
lance of all ranks to find the better,
rather than the worst, women against
us; while foolish women of no sound or
coherent opinions are inclined to
patronize us in the most noisy and DEM

believed in was the medical education of
women. 'I believe that if once women
can be allowed to practice as freely as
men the whole question as to the rela-
