and eastern Asia. Furthermore the public
will be Informed regularly as to the where
abouts and activities of the members of the
expedition.
Let Mr.. Andrews tell in his own words of
the aims and needs of his expedition:
when the American Museum of Natural
History considered plans for the third
Asiatic expedition. President Henry Fair
field Osborn invited Asia and the American
Asiatio Association to Join with the museum
in financing the expedition. At a meeting
OF the executive committee of the American
Asiatic Association on June Ii resolution
was adopted approving the third Asatic ex-
petition as being contribution of large
value to the development of the scientific
knowledge of the world. instrument of
further establishing friendly relations be-
tween China and the United States and an
important factor for increasing the interest
OF the people of the United States in the
people and affairs Of the orient
There is a very real desire on the part
OF the sponsors for the expedition to make
II a factor In the development of the educa-
tional life OF the Chinese Republic. China
has no national institution wherein natural
history objects can be studied and exhibited
by modern methods ana where the Sclen-
tinc work OF her own people can be en-
couraged and directed. II was therefore
decided TO invite the Chinese Government to
cooperate with the expedition in carrying on
its work I'm the Orient. China will be invited
to delegate TO the expedition certain men
who already have had preliminary instruc-
ton In various branches of science: under
the best specialists in the world, these men,
while In the field, will receive training in
modern methods of scientific exploration and
study.
when the expedition has been completed,
It's sponsors will agree to deposit In Pekin
a duplicate set. 30 far an possible, of the
collections obtained. which will form the
basis OF the Chinese Museum Of Natural
History. The proposed institution will then
have a valuable nucleus OF specimens for
exhibition and study and STAFF OF expert

main for the Government to set aside a
suitable building where the collections can

be housed. If the Chinese accept the prof
fered assistance in establishing such an in
stitution, 1t will certainly become more than
a museum of natural history in the strict
sense.
THE third expedition will have its head
quarters in Pekin. From this base various
parties will carry on work in zoology. paleon-
tology. archaeology, anthropology, geography
and photography, working separa ely or to-
gether as circumstances may dictate. The
scientific staff will include six or seven spe-
calists who will be assisted in the field by
trained natives. Investigations Will be made
i'm China, Mongolia. Tibet. Manchuria and
Kamchatka and TO limited extent in the
tropical parts of the Orient. 1t is proposed
to continue the work of the expedition for
period of FIVE years. The first year will be
devoted largely TO reconnaissance in certain
branches OF science to the organization of
the various field parties and to the establish
ment Of a base I'm Pekin with suitable lab
ora,ories for the preliminary examination
and preparation of specimens. The begin
ming of the second year should see opera
tons well under way.
Motor Cars and Airplanes to Be Used.
Because of the variety Of country and
climate TO be encountered during the five
years work the equipment OF the expedi-
ton will have to be thorough. In Mongolia,
in many parts of the Cobb Desert and on the
rolling grass lands it IS possible to use motor
cars. They will be Invaluable not only to
the pursuer of wild horses and antelopes
but especially to the paleontologist and
archnologist. for by automobile country that
1t would require weeks to cover on horse
back can be reconnoitred in a short time.
BY the use of light motor trucks movable
bases can be established, so that the MEM
bers OF the expedition can carry on work
Independently In widely separated parts of
the same region. 1t is probable, too. that In
some parts of Mongolia and western China
airplanes may be employed.
"Csmels will be used for heavy transport.

In 1916-1917 Mr. Andrews led the first
expedition into Yunnan. the most southern
and western province of China and one Of
the least known. This expedition obtained
more than 1900 mammals, as well as many
birds and reptiles.
In 1919 Mr. Andrews's second expedition
extended it's work to Mongolia and northern
China. II has only recently returned to New
York with a store of specimens.
The third Asiatic expedition, which starts
in February, 1921, aims to make New York

tons from Asia.
Plans have been drawn up for the erection
on the grounds of the Museum of Natural
History at Seventy seventh street and Cen

traces Of the ancient Neanderthal race dis
appeared"
To the non-specialist in anthropology the
Neanderthal skull is perhaps the most in
teresting. II was found in 1857 In cave
situated in that part of the valley Of the
Dussel near Dusseldorf. which is called the
Neanderthal The spot is a deep and narrow
ravine. close TO the village of Hochdel The
cave occurs in the prec!pitous left side of
re winding ravine, about sixty feet above
the stream and 100 feet below the top of
the cliff. When Dr. Fuhlrott Of Elberfeld
first examined the cave he found II to be
high enough to allow a man to enter The
width was seven or eight feet and tne length
or depth fifteen.
In the limestone are many assures
through which the loan and possibly the
human body to which the bones belonged
may have been washed into tho cave below.
On removing the loan, which was fivo feet
thick, from the cave. the human shuf1 was
first noticed near the entrance and further
in the bones lying In the same hor1spsslal
plane.
The Uranium was covered on it's Outxn and
inner surface with profuson or dondittloall
crystalizations and some other bones VI inc

their animal matter to adhere strongly

the ordinary condition Of fossil remains Of
the post-pliocene period.
When the skull and other parts OF tho
skeleton were first exhibited at Bonn doubts
were expressed as to whether II was truly
human. Professor Schaafhauscn ALI expert
enced zoologist, observed that the Uranium,
which included the frontal bone, both parie-
tails, part of the squamous and the upper
part of the occipital, was of unusual size
and thickness, and the forehead narrow and
very low. He also stated that the absolute
and relative length of the thigh bone, hu-
merus radius and ulna agreed well with
the dimensions of a European individual
of like stature at the present day. but that
the thickness of the bones was very extra
ordinary, and the elevation and depression
for the attachment of muscles were devel-
oped in an extraordinary degree. Some Of
the ribs also were of a singularly rounded
shape and abrupt curvature, which was sup
posed to indicate great power In the thoracc
muscles In the same way II observed
that the depression of the forehead was not
due to any artificial flattening such as is
practised in various modes by barbarous ma
tions the skull being quite symmetrical and
showing no indication Of counter pressure

Measurements of the Skull.

On the whole it was decided that the indi-
vidual to whom the Neandertha skull be-
longed must have been distinguished by
small cerebral development and uncommon
strength of corporal frame. When Huxley
saw it he remarked that it was the most
ape like skull he had ever seen.
The Neanderthal skull is inches in ex-
IRENE length and SIS inches in extreme
breadth, but only measures 3.4 inches from
the glabello-occipital line to the vertex. The
longitudinal arc measured as above is IL
inches; the transverse arc cannot he exactly
ascertained in consequence of the absence Of
the temporal bones but certainly exceeded
10h inches. The horizontal circumfersnos
is 23 inches.
most brutal of all known human skulls, re-!
sembling those of apes in the depraved form
of the brain case and in the retreat Of the
occipital forward and upward. The Uranium
is stated to contain SO cubic inches and the
capacity of the entire skull is put at rs cubic
inches. The most capacious human skull has
a capacity of ia cubic inches. while the
largest Uranium OF any gorilla yet measured
contains 34.5 cubic inches. The Neanderthal
Uranium stands. therefore in capacity very
far above the pithecod maximum.

Two More.

Baltimore. Aug. IA. - Government
officials today held two more war
rants in the alleged million dollar
conspiracy charges against members
of the Triaca Company, saloonkeep-
ers and revenue and Secret Service
agents. The warrants were against
Earle Payne, alias Smith, 2102 West
wood avenue, former salesman and
driver for the Triaca Company. and
Anthony Crist, former salesman and
now custodian of the whisky ware
houses of the TriaCa Company at
Bimini. Bahama Islands.
Payne's arrest is expected today
or tomorrow Crist is out of the
jurisdiction of the United States, and
his arrest may be diffcult, although
some persons in authority say that
he is ready to come to Baltimore
and give bail.
Edward Mahoney, formerly a
liquor dealer on South Calvert
street, surrendered at the PostoffiCe
Building at noon, when he learned
that there was a warrant for his
arrest. He gave bail of $4,000 for
his Appearance at a hearing early

New Haven, Conn. Aug Il -
George f. Mccartney, of Providence,
reported as drowned by the upset
ting of his automobile near that city,
was arrested here today on a
charge Of being a fugitive from jus
tice. With him was Miss May Nick
erson, a society girl. also Of ProVl-
dence A charge of perjury was
lodged against Mccartney.
Mccartney, who is 20 years OF age,
was manager Of the Providence
Heat and Power Company, and a
social light here. An automobile be-
longing to that company was found
overturned near Providence and il
was thought that Mccartney had
fallen into a creek and had been
drowned. The disappearance at the

changed that view and Mrs. Nc
Cartney made a complaint of aban-
donment.
The two were traced to Short
