and the result must be seen to be
appreciated fully y-for it appeals
not only to the eye, but to ones
sense of logical proportions of a
swift moving object, like an auto
mobile.
Some will say that this is minor
thing - that it is not radically diff
ferent.
That is true. In this new Mitchell
we do not offer the freakish, nor
something to appeal to passing
fancy. What is offered is a basic
development, just like the slanting
of the windshield, just like the many
other items which make today's cars
so different from those of five years
ago.
We want you to see this new car
and pass judgment. We want you
to observe its new lines. And to
examine its superb finish. Then we
know you'll agree that this new
Mitchell offers more for your
money.

SeaWeeds of Millions of
Years Ago Resemble Algae
Now Growing in the Sea.

That many Of the algae or seaweeds
of the Middle Cambrian epoch Of geo
logic rin.e, some 25,O0O,O 900 to 30,0OO,0 600
years ago, closely resemble the' algae
growing in the sea at the present time,
Is q statement made by Charles ID.
Walcott, secretary Of the Smithsonian
institution, in describing foss!! re-
mains of these ancient sea plants dis
covered by him in the Middle Cam
brian rocks of the Canadian Rocky
mountains.
In the remote time when these
plants were deposited on the muddy
sea bottom the rock formations that
are now thousands of feet above sea
level. formed the shore line of a Mid
die Cambrian sea.
The fossil remains from which these
primitive plants wexe identified oc-
Cur as shiny black films on the
surface of the hard. dark %siliceOus
shale. The mucous or g%elatinous
mass Of the plant has been replaced
by q shiny black siliceous film contain
ing iron pyrite in varying proportions.
II Is evident that the original organic
and inorganic matter was removed by
solution and replaced by the black film,
the c~onvexity and relief of the plant
being lost in the process and by subse-
uuent compression.

THE MIDDLE G

Our youth began with tears and sighs,
With seeking what we could not find;
Our verses were all t~hrenodies,
In elegiacs still we whined;
Our ears were deaf, our eyes were blind,
We sought, and knew not what we sought
We marvel, now we look behind:
Lies more amusing than we thought!
oh, foolish youth, untimely wise!
Oh, phantoms of the sickly mind!
What? not content with seas and skies,
With rainy clouds and southern wind,
With common cares and faces kind,
With pains and joys each morning
brought?
All, old and worn, and tired we find
Life's more amusing than we thought,
Though youth turns spectre-thin and
dies"
To mourn for youth we're not inclined;
We set our souls on salmon flies.
We whistle where we once repined,
Confound the woes of humankind.
BY heaven we're well deceived" I wot;
Who hum contented and resigned.
"Life's more amusing than we thought!
ENVOY.
o nate mecum, worn and lined
Our faces show, but that Is naught:
Our hearts are young meath wrinkles
rind:
LIES more amusing than we thought.

Our Growing
Sweet Tooth
Public Paying Highest Price fer
Sugar Since Days Following
Civil War

The public is paying the highest
price asked in this country for sugar
since the days following the Civil war.
There are reports from that time OF
sugar selling as high as 90 cents Il
pound, and that, of course. for an ar
ticle much inferior in grade to what
some persons have been paying 81
cents a pound for within recent weeks.
But there is this notable difference:
In Civil war times the high price of
sugar caused a noticeable diminutiOn
in its use; now, with the price four
fold what most persons consider to be
normal. we are using five times as
much sugar for each person as we
were in the year after the Civil var.
That year. the per capita use Of
sugar was IS pounds. In the decade
from 1866 to 1875 the price material
~ improved, and in response the use
Of sugar doubled to 80 pounds a per-
son. From 1876 to 1885 it had in
creased to ~ pounds. In the decade
from 1886 to 1895 the price of sugar
went as low, probably, as at any time
IN our history, and for the eXcellently
refined article. Then we were using
it at the rate Of 81 pounds a person
eacn year. Steadily the use of it in
creased in the following decade, de-
spite a somewhat rising price, to 81
rounds.

New Details Of the Tragedy That Wiped Out the Russian Royal
Family on July II, 1918, Brought Back to the United States
by Col. George H. Emerson of the Engineer Corp
Scene U~nspeakaby Horrible.

ST. Paul, Minn.-How the former
empress Of Russia and her oldest
Daughter knelt in prayer-making the
sign Of the cross, while former Gar
Nicholas and his heir were murdered
before their eyes, and how the assas-
sins then turned their guns and bay
onetS on the remaining members OF
the cars family and their retinue,
is told in n report brought back from
Russia 10y Colonel George II. Emerson,
of ST. Paul.
Colonel Emerson, formerly general
manager Of the Great Northern rail
way, returned from Russia January
20. He was n member of the Ameri-
can railway mission, headed by John
+. Stevens, which was sent To Siberia
Siberian railway in the hope that Rus
sia's forces might be kept in the field.
While the mission was EN- route the
Kerensky government went to pieces,
but Colonel Emerson was one of those
who remained in Russia for twenty-siX
months attempting TO assist the coun-
Try TO regain its fighting power.
czechs Investigated Tragedy.
Extracts from Il special report pre-
pared by General Dietricks furnish the
basis for the story of the murder of
the former ear and his family. and
these are augmented by an inveStiga-
ton by the CZechs, under command Of
General Gaida, who became Il stanch
friend Of Colonel Emerson.
On the night the car and his fam
ily were murdered Colonel Emerson
and Oraer members of the commission
were only about sixty miles distant.
According 10 the report, n copy OF
which is in Colonel EmerSOn's posses
sion. the car and his family were
awakened between midnight and ! n.
m. July II, 1913. They were brought
down stairs in their house M Ekaterin-
burg and told the CZechs would soon
be upon them, and that therefore it
would be necessary to put them to
death. Almost Immediately the red
guards began firing.
The mutilated bodies of many of
those murdered that night We're dis
covered, but it is believed that the
bodies of the cza and Of the members
Of his immediate family were on
sumed by great quantities Of sulphuric
acid. Jewelry and trinkets possessed
by them were found near the scene Of
the murder. These included many Of
the royal jewels.
Daily Life Sharply Restricted.
With the usurpation of the govern
ment by the bOlsheviki severe restric-
tons were placed On the daily affairs
of the cars family. Thus, a valet,
who had been in the cars family for
ten years, stated that after the turn
over there followed severe restric-
tons both in the funds for the upkeep
Of the cars family and in the matter
Of it's occupation, and particularly In
regard to their walks. When Il de-
mand was Unexpectedly made by the

The tragedy of July Il, 1913, was de-
Scrihed by Capiolina A~gafonovka in
the words of her brother. Anatole

house of lpatyeff. She said on the day
following the murder her brother came
10 her, tired and broken down, and in
great agitation announced:
This night Nicholas Romanoff, his
family, the doctor, the fraulein and the
lackeyS were killed. All Of the cap
tiveS were awakened between midnight
and one o'clock and requested To go
downstairs. Here they were told that
the enemy (Czechs) would soon be in
Ekaterinburg and that therefore il
was necessary that they be put to
death. Then and there the red guards
began 10 shoot at the cars family.
The first To be killed were the en-
peror and the heir. The rest of the
prisoners were wounded. They had To
be finished off by further shooting. bat

There was particularly great trou-

were counted. The grand duchess,
Anastasia Nikoiaievna. had tainted.
When we began 10 examine her she
shrieked wildly, after which she was
killed with bayonetS and rifle butts"
According TO YakimCff, the murder
cen was so u~nspeakably horrible
that he could not endure 1t.
II went outside for q breath Of fresh
air several times" he declared.
The evening following the murder
Yakimoff left for the front, and when
he came to bid farewell he was utter
~ out of ~countenance. His face was
pinched, the pupils of his eyes dilated,
and his lips were trembling.
Another red guard, Kuzma Letemin,
related that IN the day Of the murder
he was TO have taken his post in the
sentinel booth i'm the street. when he
observed n boy Of the emperor's house
hold i'm the street. When he inquired
why, another of the red guards, Ste
korin, told him of the murder. Ac-
cording TO S~tekorin's story Command
ant Y~ouroffsky had killed the car,
having previously read to him some
paper, presumably the order of the
Ural soviet of deputies. He told that
during the murder both the empress
and her eldest daughter were present.

Big Men Who Are Unusually
Bright Are in the Minority

1t is generally accepted that great
development of the powers Of the
brain is usually accompanied by only
moderate animal or physical life. In
those cases where high development Of
both is found, it is emphatically mark
ed by shOrtness of existence or defec-
tive vitality in the structures Of or
ganic life and low organization. Men
tai celebrities, Of large stature have
been in a noticeable minority, and the
standard Of health very low In fact,
according to John o London's Week
ly, from Alfred the Great to Schiller
the physical defects have been pain
fully apparent, and the roll Of death
less anne seems to be the list OF a
gathering Of invalids and cripples.

Graphic Chart Shows That
Human Life Appeared Late
in the Quaternary Period

\ g%eologist, writing 10 the Scientific
American, describes by means of a
graphic chart the comparative lengths
of the different periods of the & Of
the earth. He places the age Of the
earth arbitrarily at 100000 years,
represented by a clock dial of "a hours
100000 years to each hour.
On the above basis the first six hours
of the clock represents Azoic time, the
earliest conjectural period of the
earth'S formation - 1S.000,000 years +:
the next six hours Eozoic and the next
eight P%alezoic time-1S,OO0,0O0 and o.
100000 years, respectively-periods of
mineral and vegetable formations. In
the next three hours animal life de-
veloped-MeSoZoic time, 10000 600 years
that is, from the twentieth TO the
twenty-third hour. Thus the last hour
of the 24-3,0O0,0 600 years of geologic
time-represents NeOzoic time, which
includes the appearance Of human life
in the Quaternary period.
This last division of the "a hours,
the Quaternary period. is shown as
only 10 minuteS-in other words, 500,-
600 years. The existence of human life
on the earth, therefore, bears the same
relation to the & Of the earth as 10
minutes does TO "a hours. But since
the period Of written history is esti-
mated roughly at only 5000 years, this
last division is not shown on the chart,
since it would only be II seconds In
duration.
