FILL HISTORY GAP
Andrews Adds Link to Chain
of Evidences That Human
Race Originated in Asia.

LONDON, September 26.-The span
of mans evolution through the old
stone age is covered by discoveries
of the expedition of the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History, under Roy
Chapman Andrews, in the Cobb DeS-
ert In Central Asia. Rudely shaped
implements such as the extremely
primitive Neanderthal man used,
known technically as Mousterian
types. have been brought to light by
the American expedition as well as the
finely wrought Clipped fiintS of the
AZilian period, just before the begin
nlng or the new stone age when men
used tools and weapons of polished
stone. 1t adds another link to the
chain of evidence that the types of
man may have evolved in Asia.
Race Widely Scattered.
1t was already known that there

American archeOlogist and explorer,

fragments found in deposits of the
same age in China. Similar pottery
has been found on a few site scattered
over the intervening regions of central
Asia.
Now the discovery of Mousterian
implements with a skull Of Neander
thai type in Palestine, and the discov.
cry by Teilhard and de Chardin OF
similar implements in Northern China

AIt the Galilean skull is not of the

Further, the implements found WITH

affinity with implements from NORTH

The AziIian culture of the transition

age appears TO have come to Europe
from North Africa. If, therefore, il
can be proved that the Azilian culture

DEVILS TOWER LONG
KNOWN AS LANDMARK
Pretty Indian Legend Concerning
It's Origin Is Recounted
In Report.
From Department of the Interior Bulletin

From Department OF the Interior Bulletin.
DEVILS Tower National Monument
is one of the most conspicuous fea-
lures in the Black Hills region In
Wyoming The tower rises 900 feet
above a rounded ridge of sedimentary
rocks, which itself rises 500 feet
above the Belle Fouche River. Its
stdcs are fiuted by great columns
Which stand nearly perpendicular. ex-
cepl near the tip, where they round
in, and near the base, where they
flare out. The base energies into a
talus of broken columns lying on a
platform of buff sandstone. The whole
presents a never-to-be forgotten spec
tacle.
The great columns of which the
tower consists are mostly pentagonal
In shape, but some are four or six
sided. Each column is about 6 feet
in diameter. and the whole punched
together like bundle of matches. In
places several columns unite in their
upper portion to form a large fluted
column. In the lower quarter or third
of the tower the columns bend out
ward and merge rapidly into massive
rock, which toward the base shows
little trace OF columnar structure. 1t
measures more than l mile around
the base.
The Devils Tower was useful to the
aborigineS as a landmark from which
to direct their courses across the
plains. The Indian legend of its origin
has 1t that one day three Sioux maid
ems, while out gathering wild flowers.
were beset by three bears. The
maidens took refuge upon a large
rock, which the bears were also able
to climb. because they had long, sharp
claws. The gods. seeing the maidenS
about to be devoured, caused the rock
to grow out of the ground. AS the
rock grew, the maidens climbed, but
the bears could climb no farther and
fell to their death on the rocks be-
low The maidens then took the
flowers they had gathered and made
them into a rope. which which they
safely lowered themselves to the
ground. The columnar structure is
supposed to have been caused by the
marks Of the bears claws. The In
dams also say that during thunder
storms the Thunder God takes his
mighty drum to the top of the
tower, where he beats it, thus causing
the thunder.
The Devils Tower is reached by a
side trip of miles from the Custer
Battlefield highway and Black and
Yellow trail, two signed highways.

route through northeastern wyoming.

SCIENCE LEARNS WHY OIL
KILLS MOSQUITO LARVAE
"Wigglers'' Protection Against
Water Dissolved by Grease
and Embryo Pests Drown.

By Science Service
LONDON, September 26-Mosquito
'wigglers." or larvae, are not smoth-
cred by the oil sprayed on their pools;
they simply drown. The researches
of DIR. David keilin, working at the
Molteno Institute in South Africa,
and just announced here by Sir
Arthur T.. Shipley, run counter to
the older and commonly accepted no
ton.
Mosquitoes and their larvae, like
all insects, have no lungs or gills TO
breath with, such as higher animals
have. They get the oxygen they re-
quire through systems of tubes open
ing directly to the outside air and
branching inward to all parts of their
bodies. DIR. keilin discovered that
mosquito larvae had certain cells in
these tubes that secreted fatty
substance, which served TO keep the
water out. But upon experimenting
with them, using oil, chloroform,
strong alcohol and other liquids that
dissolve fats, he found that il these
protective secretions were thus dis
solved, the breathing tubes OF the
larvae filled up with water, and the
hapless ''wigglers" drowned.

The Louvre is famous palace in

French Kings. but since the French
Revolution used as a museum of art
and antiquities. The Louvre derives
its name from an ancient hunting
chateau that stood on the site of the
present palace, in the midst of for
est infested with wolves and known
as the Louverie. 1t is said to have
been a royal residence in the time of
Dagobert (62S). The foundation of the
present building was laid by Francis
1 in 1541. and the structure was en-
larged and adorned by successive
Kings, particularly Henry " and
Louis XIV, the latter being the last

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE TO SPEND
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON TRAIN
Will Have Been Married 20 Years Next Sunday.
Has Never Made Fuss Over Date-This
Year Will Be on Way to Omaha.

One week from today President and
Mrs Coolidge will celebrate the twen-
tfeth anniversary of their wedding.
The Coolidges have never made much
fnss over these sort of things in the
past. and their close friends. while dis
cnssing the coming event last night,
said they don't look for them to depart
from their fixed ideas when the ami
versary day arrives next Sunday.
Two wears ago the matter of taking
some little notice of the occasion, De-
cause II was their first since they had
heen living in the White House, was
suggested strongly to the President
a nd his wife, but they preferred to OBJ
serve the anniversary in their Gus
tonary simple and modest fashion.
Mr.. Coolidge didn't think his being
President made any great difference.
Therefore there has been nothing In
the shape of a real wedding anniver-
sary party or celebration other. than
the customary family congratulations
and congratulations from other rela.
tives and friends and the usual num-
her of presents an Executive usually
raceives from friends and admirers on
such occasions, since MT. Coolidge has
been President.
Both, Going, to- Omaha.
When this, their twentieth, anniver

President and Mrs. Coolidge will be
aboard, a fast.moving train en- route
to Omaha, Nebr.. where, on October g.
President Coolidge is to address the
annual reunion of the American LIE
gion. Although this trip Is a depar'
ture from routine. it. could not be
taken as an innovation on their part
in the matter Of a wedding anniver
sary celebration.
