THROUGH EYES OF GE0L0elsr
Man OF Science Secs Mother Earth
n Many Hundred Millions Of
Years Old.

The geologist supposes that it took
from sixty to three hundred millions
Of years for the earth's crust to as
sumo its present appearance, and cal
culates that from the time when the
first rudimentary form of life appeared
there have been II important geologic
periods of the advancement Of life,
the last Of them being the Quarter
nary or Post-Tertiary, when mankind
appeared. The first part of this Post
Tertiary age or period when man exist
ed is called the Pleistocene. At that
time beds of drift gravel were deposited
In which have been found flint hatchets
and other implements. apparently made
by men. Primitive man Is also known
as Paleolithic, and the age in which
he lived Is often called the Old Stone
age. Some authorities, however, be-
heve that primitive man existed be-
fore Paleolithic man, but left no traces
Of his existence. He probably gained
his food through hunting, wandering
along the river valleys-and then later
took to cave dwelling. Rude drawings

animals and cultivated the soil. In this
period, which is called the New Stone
age, man Is known as Neolithic man.
Then came the Bronze age, when
bronze took the place Of flint; after
that the Iron age and the Age of His

region, indicating an antiquity for
Babylonian civilization that may be
carried back approximately to the
eighth or ninth millennium B. c. In
Egypt the latest research has brought
the sixth millennium B. G. within the

among the kings of Kengi, Ktsh, Shir-

kinu Georges Rent Roll.

King George recently applied to
parliament for permission to sell GER
tain portions of his entailed duchy Of
Lancaster estates. The total rent roll
of these valuable properties is only
about $275, 900. 1t ought to be a very
great deal more, but for the fact that
previous sovereigns were in the habit
of, granting what were in effect per-
petual leases at nominal rent, plus
a substantial cash payment by the
original lessee. 1t is for this reason
that the present king has to be con-
tent with nosegay Of roses as rental
for that portion of the duchy estates
on which stands ST. Olave's Grammar
school, near Tower bridge; whereas
what the lawyers term it's economic
rent" has been calculated at about
$4,000. Similarly, tablecloth, fur
coat, a horse and halter, a currycomb,
a nighcap, a pair of scarlet hose, a
falcon, a cross-bow and a pair Of
tongs figure every year in the duchy
accounts. Each article represents the
rent" paid, or supposed to be paid,
for some manor, farm or piece Of
land.-Brooklyn Eagle.

All of the material appearing in

right here in the Venice of the South,

reason our esteemed contemporaries,

We can sympathize with you, friend

Nothing much in Florida but

paper. Well, there is good deal in
sand. A factory to make glass from
it is being built at Jacksonville. From
the, sand along the Atlantic beach
east of Jacksonville valuable minerals
are being gathered and SHIPPED by the
carload to factories at Niagara Falls

be made without sand. In sand as

Why BRAND Stammered.

A beautiful example Of courtesy
was shown recently by Premier. Bri-
and Of France during ceremony at
which he conferred a medal of honor
upon an American soldier, the De
lineator states. Monsieur BRAND does
not speak English; the American SOL
der spoke no French. The boy had,
however, learned little French
speech. But when he rose before the
distinguished audience, sthe French
words deserted him. He began, got
through the first sentence, suffered in
the second, hesitated, reached into his
mind in vain for the rest of the
French words-and then finished his
thanks In English.
The expression on the face of the
French premier never changed. When
the boy had finished speaking, Mon
signor BRAND began a few English
words he had learned. Il have great
affection for your country and ven
GRAFTON for" He hesitated-and fin
ished in French.
1t was a delicate way to make the
soldier feel that the premier of France
was as poorly equipped in the soldiers
language as the soldier had been in
French. And this is manners. Back
of that kind act vas solely desire to
make a fellow being more comfort
able.

The patrons of the Ocala high
school will be gratifed to know how
proficient their children are in fire
drill Chief Chambers of the fire de-
partment helped the school authori-
ties in making a realistic fire drill at
the school Wednesday morning.
Tuesday the school held a drill and
emptied the building of all children
in one minute and forty-fve seconds.
The authorities thought possibly the
excitement of believing that the fire
was actual and not a mere drill would
alarm the children and slow down the
drill, so Wednesday morning Chief
Chambers answered the alarm with
both trucks and all, the noise their
bells and sirens would make. The
firemen rushed to the, school, made
two hose connections at the plugs and
rushed in to fight the imaginary fire.
Under these exciting circumstances
the school children. were. all out of the
building in less time than on Tues
days. drill. Yesterdays record was
one minute and fifteen seconds. Abso-
lutte order was maintained and the
children made their exits with ma
chine-like5 precision.

balancing the tray. The head waiter,
who had witnessed his undignified ar
rival, ran out and relieved him Of his

AS the fallen one rose to his feet he
displayed his even white teeth In
broad grin and said:

after lunch as a free gift in recogni-
ton of service rendered or as part OF
the charge for his lunch, there is no
doubt about its status in the mind OF
one Broadway waitress.
Because he had no loose change in
his pocket, one diner walked out OF
his habitual luncheon haunt the other
day without leaving his customary
dime. Next day, TO square accounts,
he put down two dimes as he rose
