DISPUTE OVER HUMAN BONES
Discovery In Florida Gives Scientists
Opportunity to Indulge In I
Lively Squabble. 7

Biologists and anthropologists are
having a lively controversy among
themselves over certain human re-
mains which have been unearthed at
Vero, Fla. Human bones were found
in geological formations Of the pleis-
tocene or glacial period; man existed
in America during that early age. But,
Objectors interpose, the skeletal re-
mains are those Of modern sort OF
man, regular Indian type. So recent
type at that period is incredible. The in
dlyidual must have been buried in the
ancient strata.
The other side answers that burial
is out of question. The formation OF
the earth above the bones indicated
gradual natural accumulation, and not
the heaping of earth into grave
That the bones were scattered some
twenty feet from the others. which in
dicates that they drifted while on the
surface chow could buried bones move
twenty feet through the soiD and.
further, that the fact of the remains
being Of modern type of man merely
shows that this modern type Of man
lived in the pleistocene age.

China Abandoning Old Punishment.

The old custom in China of cutting
of prisoners heads is passing, ac.
cording to DIR. William L. Hull, n Sc.
attic physician. who has just returned
from there. after conducting a Friends
hospital at Stunning for several years.
IA man whose head is cut on"
said Doctor Hull. "goes into eternity
permanently crippled. according to
Chinese belief, so the prisoner who
can raise 20 cents to buy cartridge
has himself shot. Friends of behead-
ed criminals came to us frequently to
have us sew the heads on again so
as to fool the devils, but we had
more business at the hospital than we
could attend to. The tailor made a
regular business Of sewing on heads
at So each"

THAT TIME MOUSE SCORED
Puss UndeniabIy Had Clever Scheme,
but Intended Prey Was by No
Means Asleep.

A correspondent in the Australian
Bulletin boasts Of a clever cat. He
says: We've got a brainy cat in our
camp. The mice ssink shafts about G
inches deep. then tunnel for about 8
inches. When the cat reckons it's din
her time she calls when Mrs. Mouse
is at home. plugs the exit with one
hind leg, and then tears up the tunnel
with her front claws. 1t generally re-
suits In a hot-mouse lunch but recent
ly puss struck a shrewd mouse. Its
tunnel was twice as long as usual, so
that stretch as she would puss could
not reach the menu. For few min
utes the cats whiskers twitched in
deep thought. Then with feline grin
she withdrew her hind leg from the
hole and inserted her tail instead. She
stretched out to her full length and
commenced to dig. A minute later
that cat was ball of bristling hair
looping the loop in the air with the
teeth Of NANCY little mouse sunk
deep in her tail. She hit the ground
hard, bounced twice and shot away in
two different directions simultane-
Cusly."

USE CANNON MADE OF WOOD
People Of at Least Three Countries
Employ That Material and Have
Found Il Satisfactory.

Anyone familiar with modern weap-
ons of war and the high explosives
used in them would naturally sup
pose a wooden cannon of little use.
Wooden cannon have been used With
considerable success in Cuba. Haiti
and the Dominican Republic.
The wood used is very tough. hav7
ing a twisted grain that curls about
the log in such q way that to split the
timber with the ordinary means Is al
most impossible.
The best trees are selected and a
piece of the log five or six feet In
length and one foot in diameter Is cut.
After the bark has been removed
and the log made perfectly round, 10
is swung up on a crude truss and a
hole is burned into 1t from one end.
The log is wound with fresh rawhide,
which shrinks and hardens. When the
cannon is covered another layer Is
wound on after certain treatment, and
this is continued until the weapon has
increased several inches In diameter
Then the weapon is treated to hot
blast, which tends further to contract
the hide binding until 1t becomes al
most as strong as wire. These crude
cannon have been employed In num-
ber of instances. and it is astonishing,
so 1t is said how many times they
can be fired before they burst or are
otherwise disabled. g."

Schools For Soldiers

More than 100000 soldiers in
the American forces overseas are
enrolled in the schools which the
government has established to
equip them for better positions
and wages when they return to
evil life. To most of these young
men these schools offer a greater
opportunity for culture and voca-
tional training than would have
been theirs if they had not enter
ed the army.
These schools are so graduated
that they afford instruction in ell
ementary subjects, academic cour-
ses and training in great uni
versity established near Paris
and postgraduate careers in the
foremost French and British uni
versities. While serving their
country as soldiers these young
men may at the same time benefit
themselves as students. They are
combining mental improvement
with physical well-being and
wholesome discipline that will
safely guard them from the evils
of life in barracks.
Reports to the War Department
show that these young Americans
are testifying to their apprecia-
tion of the advantages presented
to them by their attention to their
studies. Those whose commands
are ordered back to the United
States may apply for transfers to
continue their education.
This is the first time in history
that provision has been made by
the United States for the educa-
ton of it's soldiers.

Jefferson on Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe doctrine was initiated
not by an American. but by an Eng
lishman, writes Arthur Hunt Clute in
Leslie's Magazine. 1t had its incep-
ton with George Charming, the Brit
ish foreign minister. who told the
American minister Of the plans of the
holy alliance to attack democracy in
America, and assured them Of the sup
port of the British fleet for free insti-
tutions across the Atlantic. Ever since
the British flag has been the 'bulwark
of the Monroe doctrine. On the oc-
cesion Of inaugurating the Monroe doc
trine. Thomas Jefferson, in letter to
President Monroe, said: "With her
(Great Brittany we should most sedu-
lopsly cherish cordial friendship, and
nothing would tend more to knit our
affection than to be fighting once more
side by side In the same cause"

WON POPULARITY AT ONCE
Miniature Clocks. Caught Fancy Be-
cause People Were Tired Of Pom
derous Tlmepleees.

A type Of clock which is Of DISTINCT
ly American origin was invented In
1901 by Simon Willard, Connecticut
clOckmaker. This was the banjo clock,
which because of its decorative shape
and its accurate timekeeping abilities
won immediate popularity. 1t was the
first really successful miniature clock
and a welcome addition to the rather
ponderous timepieces Of the period.
Today these dainty and interesting
little clocks are enjoying well-merited
revival of favor, and many splendid re-
productions of old models are now
obtainable. The earliest banjo clocks
were fitted with plain mahogany cases
and had curved ornaments of brass at
either side. Later the cases increased
in elaborateness; the tops were sur
mounted by brass balls, urns or gilded
acorns and the door glasses Of the base
were painted with arabesques in black,
gold and white. At later period pic
lures Of flags, eagles, landscapes and
ships embellished the lower door glass
es and gilt eagles were occasionally
placed on top.-From the TouchstOne.
