A SENSIBLE PLAN.

0UR state House in Dover is too small to accommo-
" date our States business and the men and women
who are transacting It.
The present arrangement for housing the courts and
the county officials in Kent county is unscienthc in
convenient and expensive The courts sit in building
on the south side OF Dover Green The county on
Gals have their offices in what is known the County
Building on the east side of the Green and several
hundred feet removed from the County Court House.
II is proposed that the State, to relieve Itself OF its
otraesment shall purchase for $4,000, tho County
Building which is at the north end Of the state House
and only a few feet from it, and use the present
county offices State offices; and that the county ~
relieve itself Of its embarrassment shall use the S2S
600 It receives from the State TO remodel and rearanse
the Court House in such that the county courts
and the county offices may be housed under one rooi
A bill designed TO bring these things about now is
pending in the Legislature. There seems TO De no
valid why its passage should be delayed be-

FIND HUMAN GIANTS TOOTH
Can You imagine an Ancient Man with
Molar That Weighed Two
OuneeS7

Pittsburg. Kan.-Can you imagine
q prehistoric man whose tooth would
weigh four ounces, tooth which
would take q wire cable to pullI Such
q tooth has been found In q coal bed,
more than 600 feet under the ground.
The tooth was found about two miles
northwest Of Pittsburg, In a coal
mine. Dentists claim that, because OF
certain formations, 1t could be nothing
but grinder from the head Of a pre-
historic man. While It Is light and mp
pears to be bone, 1t 10 In perfect state
Of petrl6cation.
The prehistoric giant, who Ind such
q tooth, easily could have opened his
mouth u inches wide. He must have
been about II feet In height and able
to take o six.foot step.
It Is practically impossible to de-
termine at what age this man lived,
but 1t must have been many years
before the birth of Christ, because Of
the depth at which the tooth was
found. However, It is possible that
the molar could have been placed TINT
deep In mother enrth by On uphenval
ut some time.
The coal mine in which It was
found has been In operation many
years aud is one Of the deepest In the
country.
Many persons at nrst believed the
tooth was that Of O prehistoric AMI
NAL rather than Of a man. However,
1t was taken to several dentists, who
said that, because Of certain forma'
tons in the human tooth, which are
absent in teeth Of animals, the molaT
must have been that Of O prehistoric
human being.
