Evolution of Man Eorsseen.

In one of his recent lectures Sir OIL yer Lodge, eminent English scientist announced that the earth would prob. ably continue to- exist for 2000O,OOO years more. These are, of course, round numbers. Some scientists eStl- mate that the earth Will live for ten times thls age. There have been an!- mals of one kind and another on this planet for fully this length of time. The dinosaurs are believed to have lived through some such pcr.ud. The age oC man, which is probably only a few thousand years, seems the mer. est trlne by comparison. When we consider how man has developed dur ing recorded history, which k less than ten thousand years, We may hope that he will evolve to an infinitely finer tyne in the fuJure.-BOys' Life.

NOW SHANTUNG
RESERVATION is
BEFORE SENATE
Sixth Lodge Modification Fol-
lows Adoption of Two That
Dim Treaty Hopes.
SHOWDOWN NEXT WEEK

WASHINGTON, March 3.--The senate
will tackle today the sixth Lodge reser-
Walton, that Withholding the assent OF
the United States to those provisions of
the peace treaty which turned the Chi
nese province Of shantung over to
Japan.
This reservation, like the rest of the
original Lodge program, is scheduled TO
be adopted again by a majority vote,
composed mostly of republicans with
enough democratic senators voting against
it to demonstrate that ratification is still
remote.
The long disputed Lodge reservation to
Article 10 is to be taken up after all Of
the thirteen others have been acted upon
Thus far but four have been disposed of
The vote by which the reservation cover
ing the Monroe doctrne-56 to 22-was
readopted, was regarded as test OF the
renewed administration opposition TO the
reservations and to ratification
The lineup of twenty two admlnistra-
tion senator's against a reservation in
tended to safeguard the Monroe doctrine,
a reservation the republicans refuse to
modify, was considered a good illustra-
ton of how ratification is to be blocked
again.
The final showdown on ratification
probably viii not come until next week,
but senate leaders OF both parties admit
that unless a miracle happens the treaty
will be defeated a second time In the
senate and the moot question Of the COM
mitment Of the American people to the
league OF nations left 10 the campaign.
