MONITORS HAVE "CoME BACK''
Why cheese-Box Craft Have Proved
Useful In Present War.

Before the outbreak of the present
war monitors We're considered almost
obsolete. 1t had been many years
since American naval appropriations
had included items for the construc-
tion Of monitors. Now it seems like
ly that monitor building will be re-
sumed. for in the European fighting
these cheese-box craft have proved
highly useful.
monitor can carry big gun and
at the same time draw little water.
i can come near shore In such shal.
low water that submarines cannot fol.
low. Monitor fleets bpve repeatedly
shelled Belgian towns held by the Ger
mans, and have done much damage.
In the Dardanelles campaign monitors
were advantageously used after the
enormous battleships had proved use
less. Now 1t is reported that British
monitors have been in the Adriatic,
aiding the Italians in their Trieste cam.
palgn: aEA aSsaitgl s:.as.t'n,~-
Besides the advantage Of shallow
draft the monitors present small tar
get for enemy marksmen. The Brit
lsh have many at their disposal, and
are building more.

Determining AGE OF MAN
How Scientist Has Fixed Glacial Pc.
riod In Sweden,


riod In Sweden.
Prof. Gerald de Geer, a Scandina-
Wan man Of science, has for many
years been studying the sands deposit.
ed by the glaciers in the Yoldia sea in
Sweden. These lie in layers of alter
nately fine and coarse sand. 1t seems
certain that the fine sand is deposited
by the slow flow of winter and that the
coarse layers are due to the summer
flow when the streams are swollen by
the thawing Of the glaciers.
BY counting these layers and study
ing their thickness, Professor de Geer
has come to the conclusion that south.
ern Sweden was first clear Of glacial
Ice about 1000 years ago.
This calculation comedies roughly
with that derived from his study of
the Niagara gorge by G. w. Wright
and with that Of Sollas, who holds
that the last glacial epoch ended not
more than 1000 years ago.
Sir Bertrnm Windle says that with
such difference of opinion existing
among the doctors" plain men should
remember that any statements about
ancient specimens Of man being "hun.
dreds Of thousands Of years DID," Der.
haps even millions, are based on pure
imagination and have no real founda.
ton of any kind.
