EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL


The hrst houses were caves. Early
man was fighting anfmh, and had to
contend against the huge and feroci.
GUS beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be place Of security
as well as q habitation. Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out Of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most Of them were form
ed in the sides Of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors of ours, the
primeval men and women who secured,
as one would think. but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes in the rock, we apply the
generic term Of cliff dwellsrs.
They were entirely ignorant Of agrf.
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing in wild state.
What is very remarkable, ut our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwork of those pre-his-
toric tribes In the caves of the Lancos
river In southern Colorado. These, In
most instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them--perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut In
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

RUSSIA TO RECLAIM DESERT
oesd Pasture Lands Are Destroyed n
the Rate Of One Hundred Thous-
and Acrss q Year.


The shifting sands Of Astrakhan and
the measures taken BY the Russian
government to deal with this problem
form the subject Of . memoir by J.
O. Firstov, published in Petrograd, OBJ
serves the Scientific American. Ten
million acres Of the province In ques-
ton are covered with shifting sands
formed during the nineteenth century
and subsequently. These sands have
been spreading at the rate Of 100000
acres year, the result being the trans
formation Of good pasture land into
barren waste. The principal cause Is
ever grazing; fiocks and herds are kept
30 long In one place as to result In the
complete destruction Of the turf. Poor
agricultural methods are also respon-
sible. About the beginning Of the pres
emit century the government took meas
ures Of control and reclamation, and
between 1904 and 1900 an area of about
$4,000 acres was brought under Guilt
Walton. In 1913 a special service was
ordered to deal with the question.
The province was put under the charge
Of q chief forestry ofiicer and divided
into six districts. In each Of which a
subordinate oficial was appointed to
superintsnd the work. At the time Of
writing good progress has been made
in planting soil binders and growing
herbaceous crops, but II was still prob
lematical whether the province was
adapted to the establishment Of for

CHAPTER ".
The Serenade,

A subject that never failed to arouse
the sarcasm and the ire Of Fairy was
that OF the Slaughter-house quartet.
This was composed of four young
men-men quite outside the pale as
far as the parsonage was concerned

munity. familiar in the local jail for
frequent bursts of intoxication. They
slouched, they smoked. they lounged,
they leered. The churches knew them
not. They were the Stun element, the
Bowery of Mount Mark, Iowa.
Prudence, In her day. had passed
them by with a shy, slight nod and
glance of tender pity. Fairy and
Lark, and even Connie, sailed by with
high heads and scornful eyes -
naughty, proud, icily removed. But
Carol, by some weird and inexpllcable
fancy treated them with sweet and
gracious sollcitude, quite friendly. Her
smile as she passed was as sweet as
for her dearest friend. Her Good

fast is ready, papa"
This was the one subject Of dispute
between the twins.
"Oh, please don't, Carol, 1t does
make me so ashamed" Lark entreated
"You mustn't be narrow-minded
Larkie," Carol argued. "We're minis
ter's girls, and we've got TO be a goo'
innuence-an encouragement to the
er, weak and erring, you know. Mayb
my smiles will be an inspiration t
them"
And on this point Carol stood tirr
even against the tears Of her preciou
twin.
One evening at the dinner tabl
Fairy said, with hooking smile

New Metal Discovered.

A new metal has been discovered In
the Nelson mining district of British
Columbia by Andrew G. French, and 1t
has been named Canadium. 1t is allied
to the platinum group and occurs pure
in the form of grain and short crystal
line rods, and also an alloy, and assays
give three ounces or less to the ton.
Canadlum has brilliant luster, and,
like gold and silver and platinum, does
not oxidlze when exposed to the air; II
is softer than platinum and its melting
point is great deal lower The ply
Steal and chemical properties of the
metal are TO be studied at the chemical
laboratory of the University of Glas-
gov.
Canadium is the first new metal to
be discovered In anything more than
infiniteslmal quantities since 1885.

In the end, the wedding was post

Prudence had gone, and the girls had

Time I ables i'm Cars

The Public Service Commission yes
terday issued an order against all the
companies Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system requiring them to main
tain better service throughout the Bor-
ough of Brooklyn Ten days were al
lowed the companies to file with the
commission new schedules of service.
The commission says that none of
the lines OF the system runs cars with
sufficient regularity or frequency, and
that the present schedules are not
based upon proper standard for the
maintenance of adequate service Ref
erence is made to the crowdng of the
cars and the failure to provide seats
for passengers.
The order adopted was presented by
the committee of complaints of the
commission, consisting Of Commission
ers Charles S. Hervey and f. j. II.
kracke, as a result OF an investigation
extending over several weeks Failure
to operate their cars according to the
schedules on file will constitute a viola
ton and subject the companies to the
legal penalties imposed by the public
service law.
An interesting angle of the new or
der is that the companies will be re-
quired to post in each surface car the
schedule of the line on which it oper-
ates, so that every passenger can check
the adequacy of the service being rem
dered.
