Augusta, Maine, Feb. 3.-"There are
moments so solemn with a sense OF

Division, was chief marshal.

Barre Is S. IS, Have Been

- able Traffic

A large Packard truck bowling
smoothing through Barre en- route to
Massachusetts points was halted at
the granite bridge on South Main street
at o'clock this morning and boarded
by two prohibition enforcement agents
who had placed themselves there for
the very purpose of stopping the ship
ment of 30 cases of liquor. The liquor
was found on the truck and was taken
over by the prohibition agents, while
the three men on the truck were escort
ed to the Barre police station, where
they spent the remainder of the night.
The Packard truck was turned about
and headed for Burlington, from which
city it is said to have come during the
night. The liquor will be held there
pending the disposal of the case in
United States court; and it is probable
that The court will also take action re-
garding the automobile. The two pro-
hbition enforcement agents who made
the seizure cautioned the local police
against disclosing anything about the
seizure and the names of the men taken
in charge. 1t is understood that one OF
the men is from Burlington. A prohibit
tion agent from Burlington was sum
moned this afternoon to come and take
cha roo of tho local end of tha affair

Fossil Men.

Two fossilized human skulls from
Java. recently described to the Royal
Society of Amsterdam by DIR. Eugene
Dubois. their discoverer, have thrown
fresh light on the history of the human
race. Perhaps we should say OF the
human races, for several extinct hu-
man types are now known, as differ
ent from existing black, yellow or
white man as the chimpanzee is from
the gorilla DIR. Dubois himself dis
covered the most notable of these, also
in the rocks of Java, a low -browed
creature. definitely human, and yet so
apelike that the designation Pitheean-
thropus erectus. the erect ape man,
was coined for if. He found the FOR
tions of the skull and thighbone, on
which all our knowledge is based, in
The early nineties, bul had also brought
back two larger and more complete
skulls found some years before. In
1918 DIR. s. A. Smith Of the Univer-
sity Of Sydney published an account
Of fossil human skull from Piesto-
Gene beds in Queensland. showing that
man was present in Australia IN the
remote age when Great Britain was
covered by ice This skull had anatom
ical features akin to those OF existing
Australian natives. but il was more
robust. with larger brain cavity and
y verv massive jaw DIR. Dubois, read
ing this description, remembered his
.Tayan skulls, took them from their
cabinet. and examined them carefully.
TheS also are Of the Australoid type,
robust. large Drained, and with mas
sive laws. A correspondent associates
them with a fossil skull from the
Transyaal and with famous skull
found at Piltsdown in Sussex seven
wears ago. These too had unexpected
ly large brain cases and massive jaws.
The brain Of the former might have
been larger than that of Bismarck,
and the Jaw of the latter was so re-
markable that an American anatomist
Jumped the English claim" and named
from il a new species OF fossil Chin
panzee. The skulls from Australia,
Java and South Africa have now sup
piled evidence on which we can dis
miss the strange notion that a Sussex
gravel-pit should have contained a
unique human skull without a lower
jaw, and a unique chimpanzee lower
jaw without a skull But they seem
