pcriance, from " ciantific stand

a close inspection your Creation

your Formation Of man after the

Of this question from geological

NJ. II. l1aviland Kan.
That man existed on the earth
before the 5000 years which is
generally accepted at the date OF
Adams creation, there is not
one particle of scientific doubt.
tB5ut- whether ff1at1 was then Il

science cannot answer. Geology
holds the record of the rocks,
and she shows that man existed
much longer ago than 5000
years. She has the evidence in
his skeletons which do not differ

skeletons Of the savage races of

A Normal Verdict.

Just before the close OF the second
trial Of HANS SCHMIDT new evidence
was introduced which made the in
sanity plea altogether too feeble as
nm excuse for this exalted murderer.
Assistant District Attorney DELEHANTY
established the fact that last April
SCHMIDT tried in vain to obtain in
surance upon his victims life, with
himself as the beneficiary of the pol
Icy. OF course he did not dare to
raise fears In the mind Of his in
tended victim, and No he had ser
want in the employ If his partner In
the counterfeiting business apply for
the policy in his victims name Work
OF this nature. proving craft and
crooked motives at every turn, must
have impressed the jury as rather too
far sighted and profound for a mad
man. Moreover. SCHMIDT was busy
along these lines with insurance ap-
plications and his victims bank book
months before he said he heard his
orders from the Deity to perform
murder.
Later he decided that the command
came from 81. ELIZABETH. but strange
to say these sacred thoughts were
never revealed until the detectives had
him. and even SO he never explained
why divine command made him so
shrewd about his murder and his care
full methods to conceal 1t. Anyway, as
Justice DAVIS chnrged the jury, an al
legged command from Con does not ex-
cuse the crime.
1t Is worth while to consider these
flmsy details Of the defence because
they indicate TO what length the insan-
lily twaddle may be carried In times Of
sentimental regard for fiends.

To THE EpIroR or THE SvS-Sir: The
city should commemorate the building OF
the Catskiil aqueduct by erecting a suita-
BILE monument. and the most appropriate
form for such monument is a great
fountain with the water IN the form OF "A
geyser or cascades.
Among the locations which would be
suitable for such a fountain would be Bat
terry Park. Central Park. Madison Square.
city Hall Park or the site OF the present
Post Once. soon to be- removed from
Park Row and Broadway.
Such Il fountain might occupy the larger
part OF the Pos. Office site and comprise
enormous volumes OF water falling In steep
steps or there might be geyscr OF the
maximum height produced by the pressure
OF the water. though the latter might not
be desirable in this location as IN. wind
would carry the water for d considerable
distance.
a fountain Of size and design TO SYM
holize the aqueduct could be- built for less
than onc-ttnth OF ! per cent. OF the cost
Of the work itself and might be the
greatest OF It's kind In the world.
Fountains commemorative. Of water sup
ply systems are found frequently In the
cities OF Europe.
