ANTIQUITY OF MANKIND.
Geike Places 1t at Between 100000 and
100000 Years


In his work, The Antiquity of Man
In Europe" Professor James Geikie
of Edinburgh university declares mis-
belief that man has inhabited Europe
between 100000 and 100000 years.
All such estimates are based on geo
logical facts. such as the rate at which
sediment is deposited or at which stall
Agmites grow, that are very hard to
determine with any accuracy, bur no
one now doubts that man is far older
than men of science originally suppos-
ed him TO be.
when we reflect" says Professor
Geikie. ION the many geographical
changes that man has witnessed 1.-THE
submergence and re-elevation of enor-
nous tracts, the erosion of valleys and
general lowering of the surface by de-
mutation, when we consider that he
has lived through succession OF stu
pendous climatic revolutions; that he
has seen widely contrasted tioras and
faunas alternately occupying our CONT
nent-tundras, steppes and great for
ests succeeding each other again and
again-we must feel convinced that the
few thousand years that have elapsed
since the downfall of Babylonian, AS
syrian and Egyptian empires are as
that separate the earliest times of his
tory from the apparition OF palaeolith-
ic man in Europe"

RIFLE SIGHTS.
The Drop of the Bullet In Its Flight
Makes Them Necessary.

The Drop of the Bullet In Its Flight
Makes Them Necessary.
The average person if asked to ex-
plain why a rifle is sighted would prob
ably be unable to do so beyond some
vague remark about taking correct aim.
Sights are necessary because Il bullet
does not travel in a straight line, but.
under the influence of gravity and fric-
ton, begins to drop almost as soon us
it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet
of the British service rifle drops six
inches in the first 100 yards, but when
it has gone 200 yards it will have drop
ped not twelve inches but two feet.
The drop increases by leaps and bounds
with the distance. We're there no
sights on the rifle and you wanted to
hit a mark at 200 yards you would
clearly have to aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight of the mark aimed
at. to say nothing of the difficulty OF
correctly estimating a distance of two
feet at 200 yards.
The sights of rifle enable you to
keen your eye on the mark. although
| the muzzle of the rifle is actually point
! ing above it. The movable slide of
the baclzsight enables you automatical-
| ly to point the muzZle just so many
feet above the mark aimed at as is
necessary to counterfeit the known
drop of the>bullet at various ranges. -

A Place IN the World


A 17-year-old boy in Kansas City
committed suicide because his life
had been a failure. He left behind
him short autobiography in which
the details of his unhappy career are
set forth. 1t is curious document.
In quaint little flashes OF self-revela-
ton it sums up both the capabilities
and the shortcomings of the boy. In
other aspects it is the world-story of
youth and self-pity magnifying its
imaginary fills to the proportions of
real tragedy.
When a child he lived with his
grandmother. She, he frankly re-
lates, coddled him and spoiled him,
taught him never to fight or quarrel
and brought him up as spineless
sort of boy who was always imposed
upon. At the age of II he ran away
to California and started to make his
own way. He found that no one
paid any attention to him; no one
believed there was any promise in
him; no one took him seriously. His
last job was in a bakery in Kansas
City. He writes that before he took
this job he had given up hope and
was determined to kill himself the
day he left 1t. He was discharged
and he kept his word.
From the document he left behind
it is evident that the boy had an
exceptionally good mind. "The
trouble Is that l have no nerve" he
wrote.
IL am just baby, a weakling. |
never knew how to look out for my
SELF" Such scathing self-analysis,
whether true or not, proves mental
equipment quite above the ordinary.
1t requires more than ordinary cour-
age for 12-year-old boy to leave
his home and more than ordinary self
reliance for him to provide for him
self till the age of II.
Poor, lonely lad, who saw in each
of the indifferent worlds rebuhs a
withering arraignment OF his own
character. Poor, sensitive boy whose
ego the world had crushed. He would
have thriven under a kind mothers
care, wise tather's guidance. An
encouraging friend might even have
saved him. Lacking these, he could
not see that the world had place
for him. Lacking these, he grouped
as one in darkness and cringed be-
fore the butetings of life.
A failure at II! 1t is conclusion
to smile about were not the conse-
quences SO tragic. - Philladel Mia

Well Keep the Farm


Well, Jane I guess well keep the
place,
We've lived here you and
Upon this little farm so long
Let's stay here till we die.
You know l thought I'd sell it once
To Jones or Deacon Brown
And take the money we had saved,
And buy place in town.
But when the binds begin to swell
And grass begins to grow,
Somehow it doesn't seem to me
ought to let it go.
l love the crimson clover,
And the fields of waving corn;
The quiet, balmy evening,
And the fragrant dewy morn;
The pink and snowy blossoms, .
Hanging on the apple-,rees,
The chirping of the crickets
And the humming of the bees.
l love the summers honey breath,
The blnshing buds of may;
The teeming autumn, rich with fruit;
The scent of the new-mown hay:
The noisy bable of the brook,
And the laughter of the rill;
The lowing herds upon the heath,
And hocks upon the hill.
And when think of leaving all
1t fills me with alarm;
So, after all, / guess it's best
To keep the little farm.
