Cave Men in America.

The cave man has long been sup
posed to have lived only In the old
world. and II the term ia used to mean
the very primitive species of homo
sapiens, this is true. Explorations
made In Kentucky this year by scien-
lists of the American museum. how
ever, show that primitive men did live
In caves In America. In the Mammoth
cave and others they found unmistak-
able evidence that the mouths of the
Kentucky caverns were used as dwell
ing places and that the Indians ex-
plored the caves and mined quartz in
them. This is especially interesting
because II is known that Indians did
not live in this region after its discov-
cry by white men. The American
cave jewellers. therefore, must have
beloEsed to an earlier period.

ARCTIC RELICS ARE FOUND
Records Left by Explorers More Than
Fifty Years Ago Brought Back by
Croker Land Expedition.

Records left by various explorers in
the frozen North. some of them more
than half a century old, brought back
by Donald B. Macmillan, head of the
Croker land expedition, who recently
returned. are on exhibition In the
American Museum of Natural History
in New York.
Among the records Is silk lining
of a cap worn by DR.. Elisha Kent
Kane, the American explorer, left by
him at Rensselaer, Harbor In 1853. 1t
is marked with leaden bullet 10. X"
There Is also a paper containing rec
ord of Doctor Kane's life in the North,
cut with knife. owing to scarcity
of writing materials.
There are also records left by Rear
Admiral Peary including bit of an
American flag. left in 1906 at the top
of Cape Thomas Hubbard.
A packet of letters left In cache at
Cape Isabella In 1873 by Capt. Allan
Young for Sir George Mares expedi-
ton was also found by Macmillan. The
Mare party left It's mark only 20 feet
from the cache where the letters were
found, but departed without discover
ing them.

Admiral Beatty's Hero.

Go into Admiral Beatty's parlor and
glance at the line of books which lie
on the table, says the London Daily
Telegraph. 1t is Nelson's Dispatches"
Look on his desk and you will find a
bust of the great admiral. The prints
and pictures on the walls here COM
memorating great deeds of the navy
also are lit with the light of the navy's
greatest inspiration. Here is the din
ner table of the captain of a famous
ship of the first battle squadron. Note
the centerpiece-a silver statuette.
Need you ask whose 1T Is? Nelson
stands shining before him as sitting
he drinks the kings health in the way
of the navy, and the statuette is his
mascot. Only once did he leave 1t be-
hind, and the ships had trouble. That
was on maneuvers and never since
has Nelson been forgotten. His serv-
ant, who knew the value the captain
attached to 1t, asked before the battle
of Jutland If he would stow the statu-
cite safely away. ''No," replied the
captain, "he must go through It." And
go through it the little statuette did,
and the ship that carried him went
through 1t, too, and earned fresh lau-
rels-

Whale Made Waves Quiet.

The use of oil to calm troubled seas
was Illustrated in an unusual way to
a skipper who recently arrived in New
York from a southern port. Every
mariner who has dripped oil from his
plunging bows In stormy weather to
smooth down invading crests knows
how effective the trick is when done
properly.
This particular skipper sighted a
dead whale, which at first glance
seemed to be schooner bottom up,
when he was about $50 miles east of
the Virginia coast. There was stif
wind from north-northwest which
kicked up crested sea, but there was
no disturbance within mile to the
northwestward of the whale. The
skipper said In his report to the local
photographic office that this mile was
smooth as glass;" or alike ballroom
floor" due to the effect of the oil ooz-
ing from the carcass of the whale and
borne on halfknot current setting to
the northwest.

Russia's Platinum Production.

The production Of platinum In the
Ural district In Russia In 1916 Is esti-
mated by correspondent of the Lon
don Mining Journal at only 1854
troy ounces. against 107,T74 ounces in
1915: 156.774 ounces In 1914. 1882
ounces In 1913 and 1881 ounces in
1912. The decrease last year extend
ed to nearly all the districts, but was
most marked on the Demidov estates
and the Shuvalov placers. The short
age of labor has been one of the causes
of the decrease. The fact that all
crude platinum Is now requisltioned by
the government hasyled, 1t is believed,
to the eoncealment of some quantities,
so that the figures given are below the
real output. A. considerable quantity
of crude platinum Is understood to be
held by Russian banks, which adj
vanced money to the producers before
the metal was taken by the govern
ment.

OVERSEAS FLYING NOT EASY
Many Difficulties Confront Those Who
Would Cross the Atlantic In
an Airplane.

In paper read before the Tnstitu-
tion of Engineers and Shipbuilders in
Scotland L. Desbleds explains some OF
the advantages and difficulties of trans
Atlantic flying. With regard to the
former, the carrying Of the mails in
quarter Of the time at present needed
for the voyage between America and
Britain would. In the authors opinion,
be of immense benefit. as he considers
that the correspondence of country
may be taken as measure of its COM
merce with other nations. and the ac-
tolerated rate of exchange of corre-
spondence would react upon commerce
and shipping.
Coming to the problem Of carrying
malls across the Atlantic, Mr. Desbleds
considers that existing knowledge of
airplane construction and propeIling
machinery only allows of such flights
by reducing the strength Of the ma
chimes employed to far below that of
the airplanes now in use; consequent
ly those undertaking the passage
would run grave risks of coming to
grief on the way. Some particulars
Of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given In the paper, the proposed
machine having weight by itself of
about four tons, which is doubled by
the addition of fuel and stores, while
crew of ten men account for another
fifteen hundredweight. - Chambers

FARMING IN 1040I
Amazing Changes in Living Con-
ditions Are Shown.
In Early Days the Farm Produced
Practically Everything Family Con-
sumed, Food and Clothing.

In view of the modern-day high cost
of living and of the many wonderful
advances made in the last century
the railroad, the telegraph, the ocean
cable, the telephone, the automobile
ard farm and labor-saving machinery
of all kinds and the amazing changes
these inventions have necessarily
wrought In all directions In almost ev.
cry walk of life--it may be of interest
to recall living on a farm In the year
1910.
The farm / have in mind, writes
Warner Miller in the New York Times,
consisted of 200 acres. The stock was
15 cows, a yoke of oxen, 20 sheep, an
old white horse, a dozen pigs, so hens,
10 geese, few ducks and a flock of
turkeys.
The farm produced practically ev.
erything the family consumed, both
clothing and food. The sheep fur
nished the wool, which was carded at
'fulling" mill and made into rolls
for spinning.
AT home it was spun into yarn and
woven on a hand loom.
There were no ready-made clothes I;
all clothes were made in the home.
Several cows were killed each year.
There was tannery near by, where
the skins were tanned. A shoemaker
made our boots. They were usually
too small and gave much trouble and
pain.
The flax, cut and laid down until the
fiber loosened from the woody part,
was put through a heckle worked by
hand and then spun and woven. This
strong linen cloth was used for sum-
mer clothing, towels, etc. The seed
was saved to make f1axseed tea "a
medicine), or poultice for bruises.
For food we had everything needed
fresh meat, potatoes, beets, cab
bages, parsnips, pumpkins for pies. ap-
Piles, which lasted from fall to spring !;
cider, which gave us vinegar or pro-
duced cider-ehampagne.
Half dozen pigs killed In the fall
gave us plenty f'ham and bacon, lard,
sausages and salt pork.
There were plenty of chickens for
roasting and potpies and eggs, turkeys
for Thanksgiving and Christmas, oc-
casfonally a roast goose with apple
sauce.
From the cows milk we made both
butter and cheese. What butter and
cheese the family did not consume
was sold in nearby village. Butter
usually brought 1914 cents pound.
Cheese was also made at home, as
there we're neither creameries nor
cheese factories. Cheese was sold at
to cents pound. All eggs not
used went to the village store and
| brought 10 cents to II cents dozen.
Every farmer made his own soap.
| 1t was called "soft soap" twas soft.
| but very strong. and took the dirt off
your hands and face very thoroughly,
and some skin, also. unless you were
careful In your ablutions.
| Little was heard of the world at
| large. Twenty miles from the railroad
| the great four-horse stagecoach came
every day. bringing the mails. There
were few newspapers or magazines.
The telegraph was unknown. The At
lantic cable did not succeed until 1865.
There were only % miles of railroad In
1880.
