CRADLE OF THE HUMAN RACE
Asian Plateau Was the Original
Emigration Point.

Somewhere on the lofty mid-Asian
plateau, scholars tell US, was the re-
gion whence the human race dis
persed and was distributed. If the
theory seems to cynics q little like a
sentimental engraving, we have to
trust the authorities. At any rate, in
that now thinly populated district are
the relics Of early civilizations, earlier
than any now known to history. 1t is
significant that the most ancient civ
ilized countries that we know, Baby
lonia, Chaldea and their successors
and rivals, the peoples Of the far-of
feretimes in Asia Minor, Egypt, India,
China are the frontiers or extensions
Of this central area, whence wave
after wave of invasion has flowed i'm
memorially. Man in the hunting
stage has to follow the. game for his
food and his clothes. Therefore it is
probable that Central Asia was the
old home whence emigrated mammals
whose descendants now live in other
regions.

BuriaIs in "the Abbey"

Westminster Gazette: How many
more burials will there be in West
minister abbey? Within it's walls lie.
the remains of close on three thou
sand people, and so numerous are the,
monuments and memorials that it is
impossible to prevent them jostling
each other without the slightest pre-
tentions to artistic arrangement. Both.
Westminster abbey and st. Pauls' are
excepted from the general prohibition
Of intramural interments, but the
time has almost arrived when. from
sheer want Of space, no further burials
will be possible in the abbey. 1t has
been suggested that a national MAUI
soleum should be provided by utilizing
the old "~undercroft" to the east of the
Great Cloisters, part of which is the
Chapel of the Pyx and part of the
gymnasium of Westminster school.
Though this is outside the abbey itself,
it is in the abbey precincts.

TRAVEL AT TERRIFIC SPEED
Elections Can Be Sent Through the
Air at the Rate of 10000
Miles a Second.

An airplane doing 200 miles an hour
is considered to be a fairly speedy OBJ
ject, but its flight is cumbersome COM
pared to another form of movement,
a form that has been measured, and
n that man a make at will. The
200 miles an hour becomes pale when
it is known that man sends certain
things at the rate of 10000 miles Il
second, or more than twice around the
world while a watch ticks. This is
about One-third as fast as light travels,
and if the objects mentioned could be
directed they would reach the moon
in four seconds.
The units thus created are electrons,
and they have been sent at the terrific
rate Of speed mentioned in glass tubes
from which a certain amount Of air
has been pumped. They are what
Crookes called the fourth state of mat
ter" solid, liquid and gas, having long
been familiar to every one. There is
a theory O held by some scientists
that these electrons are the basic mat
ter Of everything in, on or under the
earth, the substance of which mole
cules and atoms are made, and that
they are In themselves force or move

time millions of years ago, and they

Old EnaIand's Twelfth Nioht,

Twelfth night is a time-honored fes-

ACES PET SAD LION
Cub Adopted as Mascot by
Yankees Now Sorry Sight.
Sentiment Prevents Paris Geological
Garden Keepers From Putting End

Paris.-The lion cub which. was
adopted as a mascot by the Lafayette
squadron of aviators, the first Of the
Americans to come to fight and die for
France in the war, now is a melan-
choly spectacle in the Paris zoologi-
cal gardens, but the keepers refuse to
kill him because Of the sentiment re
sulting from his connection with the
American fighters.
One eye is missing, much of his
hair is gone, he seems decrepit with
age, and, if met in the desert, his
appearance would inspire nothing but
pity. The indignation Of some mem
bers of a society for prevention Of
cruelty to animals has been aroused
by his mournful appearance.
why don't you chloroform the poor
old fellow?" a visitor asked of the
head keeper the other day.
what do you mean by old fell

lion is only four years old. He is a
victim Of the war. If that lion is
lame it is because he got rheumatism
in the first-line trenches. One of his
legs was broken when he fell out of an
airplane 40 feet from the ground. He
lost his eye from a well-directed right
hand swing Of one of the mechanics
