serIeus Casualty List.

In the domestic relations court Of
New York Mrs. Annette Busby was a
witness against her husband, James,
who was present to respond to the
toast: "Work-done or avoided" Mr..
Busby allowed that he is carpenter,
hampered by an education Of the most
classical type. "The fact Of the matter
Is," he explained, ''that have sought
work rather constantly until lately. I
have been disheartened by the fact
that could not get work such as de-
serve. do not like carpentry, and
can speak five languages. want a
good situation or none" "Five Ian
guages," sneered Mrs. Busby. "What
good are they? Four of them are dead
and the other wounded"

Silver Thimbles In War.

Many English women gave their
Jewels and much money, to the war
fund. says the Ladies' Home Journal.
but there were thousands Of others
who wished to give and were unable
to do 90. That Is. they were until a
wise woman suggested that little
trinkets, such as silver thimbles, be
collected and melted down for the sill.
yer they contained. Here Is what the
silver thimhles purchased In one year !:
Seven motor ambulances.
Five motor hospital boats.
One thousand one hundred and ten
dollars for hospital supplies.
Ten thousand dollars for disabled
sailors agency.
Eleven thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars for star and garter fund.
Fifty thousand dollars for soldiers
and sailors.
American women who think they
cannot afford to give anything to the
various war funds might find these
facts Interesting.

A resOurceful farmer found new
way to use dynamite and saved near
" matured crop Of potatoes in BADLY
flooded field, says the Scientific Ameri-
caa. Usually heavy rains filed all the
neighborhood drains and bitches; in
his emergency the owner put down a
number of holes eight to twelve feet
deep with q post auger and exploded
charge OF dynamite in the bottom Of
each. This opened up passages into
the sandy subsoil, through which the
surplus water drained rapidly. and the
crop was saved, although many nearby
crops were ruined by the excess Of
water standing In the fields.

BEGINNING OF MAN
Origin Is Retreating More and
More Into the Past.
Tep'e stiil Absorbs Interest oS Anthre-
peseeists and Other Scientists. Each
Discovery Renewing Discussion.

The antiquity Of man Is stEl an alb
sorbinS topic among antropologists
and other scientists. and fresh discus
sions arise with each new discovery
OF ancient human remains. In tbs
connection. 1t is interesting to note,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
that Dr. Arthur Keith 9f Edinburgh.
an authority on the subject, believes
that the living Australian aborigine
IL OF an older type than any of the
fossil remains of modern man found
In Europe. The New York Medical
Journal says:
"The date Of the origin OF the mn
man species. by each new discovery
OF missing chapters In Its history. Is
shifted to a more and more remote
time. The Neanderthal skull. which.
BY Its prominent supraorbital ridges.
Its length and fiattening from above
downward, seemed to link man close
ly, II loosely. to the higher apes, still
had brain capacity quite equal to
that of the average modern man, and
on this account pointed to a still more
remote beginning of the human being.
The brain Of the Neanderthnl man was
not only large but elaborate, and. as
shown by the remains of his culture.
he possessed fire and made flint imple-
ments. Though ancient, he was any.
thing but an ape.
"The Heidelberg skull. which resem-
bled the Neanderthal remains but was
still more markedly simian In general
features. had also a capaclous brain
case and Is believed to have belonged
to creature with comparatively high
mental development. The Neanderthal
man Is placed some SOC, 600 years back,
while the Heidelberg skull Is presumed
to date to a doubly remote time.
"The prehistoric remains found BY
Doctor Dubois In Java, the bones Of
Pithecanthropus, as he has been called
were Of decidedly earlier geological
date. as indicated both by their sur
roundings and by their own features; |;
the brain case was small and the era
NAL traits were otherwise more ape
like than those Of any other known re-
mains. All the structural characters
Of Pithecanthropus, SO far as we know
them, are exactly Of the kind we ex-
pect to find in the early ancestral types
Of man. The unearthing Of the Java
man pushed the date for the origin Of
the human type backward another
period of a few hundred thousand
years, or into the Miocene epoch Of
geological time.
The chain linking modern man d.
rectly with an early type similar to
the gorilla or chimpanzee seemed to be
growing strong until. in 1912, the
bones Of an ancient man Of another
type were discovered in England In
the Piltdown cave. This. according to
DR.. Arthur Keith, who is as great an
authority as can be found, Is the old
est specimen Of true humanity yet dis
covered The brain Of this being was.
in size, at least, up to the modern
standard. but otherwise the bones are
the most simian recorded"

1acNInd,r Engine.

By leaps and bounds the stationary
type airplane engines are increasing
in power rating in the stern competi.
ton between the central powers and
the allied nations. In England Louis
Coatalen has been doing commendable
work along these lines, and among his
latest products is the 1S-cylinder Sun
beam-Catalen engine. which develops
475 brake horse power. and has no
fewer ttan half a dozen magnetos and
an equA. number Of carburetors, says
the Scientific American. The arrange,
ment Of the cylinders Is interesting:
Twelve of the cylinders are arranged
as In the usual twin-six practice. while
the remaining six are arranged in the
upper center, forming what Is styled
the "broad arrow type.

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock At Enormous Rate. Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendOus demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
trafion reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory - approximately 1900. 900
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 2,4OO, 900
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain delds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently II the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English AZ follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October. 81. .28 !;
November and December, $16O6; jan
larry. $14.4O. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,8O7. 600 head Of
cattle In 1918, she now has only H.
341 800. a decrease Of 1853 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and One-half gallons before the war;
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animais and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
ductiOn of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
