Darwin Home Open to Public.
Down House, near Orpington, Kent,

years and where he wrote 1.-THE Origin

British Association and thrown open to
the public.
Until lately the house was used as a

the rooms have been refurnished. Thus

knife and an army Of natural articles,
all are here In approximately the same
positions they occupied during Dar-
wins lifetime. The room has been re-
constructed from an old photograph.
Even the wallpaper has been repro
duced.

Oldest Californians May
Have Had MastodOn Pets
BY E. e. FREE, PHI. d.

Another evidence that the extinct
species Of elephant called the masto-
don. lived on in North America until
relatively recent times, side by side
with primitive men as the other extinct
elephant called the mammoth lived on
in Europe, has been found near the
California town of Menlo Park, about
80 miles south Of San Francisco. Prof
Eliot Blackwelder of Stanford Univer-
sity, who describes the finds in a COM
munication to the Washington Acad-
envy of Sciences, reports two teeth
several bits of a tusk and a few frag-
ments of ribs and other bones, all
found underneath % feet of loose CLAW
and sand not far from the present
shore of San Francisco Bay. The rest
of the skeleton of the ancient beast
may be lodged somewhere in the sur
rounding clay, Prof. Blackwelder be-
lieves, where doubtless it was trapped
and drowned thousands of years ago
when the water of the bay was higher
than now and when the clay where the
bones were found was on the bottom
of some shallow, muddy lagoon. No
remains of ancient man were found
with the maStodon bone, but Prof.
Blackwelder recalls that several years
ago a human skull was found at about
this same depth and in similar clay
and sand deposits on what is now the
campus of Stanford University, not far
away The suggestion that the Menlo
Park mastodon and the ancient human
being at Stanford lived at about the
same time is described by Prof. Black
welder as mot to be lightly dismissed -
In Europe drawings of the extinct
mammoth were made in caves by men
who lived side by side with those beasts.
No such cotemporary pictures of mas
todons have been found in North
America, although scientists are always
hoping that some will be.

Uruguay Considering
Rule by Commission

From the Fort Worth Record-Telegram.
The progressive little nation Of Uru-
quay, in South America, is said to be
preparing a referendum for It's citizens
to decide on a commission form of ma
tional government. Instead of electing
presidents, governors. legislators and
members of congress, the people win
vote only for state councilmen, from
whom the body will select one to be
national councilman. That body in
turn will elect a president. as city COM
missionerS used to elect mayors.
The world that is, at present, as
fairly safe for democracies as the
Democrats are from the one governing
them will watch the Uruguayans with
keen interest. That will be the first at
tempt at that species of national gov
eminent. A nation named italy has
modified the city manager plan to ut
its national needs-omitting, however,
the formality of q council-but nothing
resembling the other and earlier city
experiment has been attempted on the
larger scale.
1t might work-with the Uruguayans.
Utopia may as well be discovered in
South America as elsewhere. 1t Is some
whereof else there wouldn't be any
such word
We hope the Uruguayans find 1t.

Royal ''Lame Duck''
All But Forgotten

From the Indianapolis Star.
The attention paid to the former
Kaiser's SEVENTEEN birthday ami
versary by a group of former princes
and a handful of the old military
regime served only to intensity the
depth Of the political oblivion into
which the ex-Emperor has tumbled.
At one time the allies considered ex-
ling him to some modern Elba. There
he probably would have become a mar
tyr. Distance might have lent enchant-
ment to his plaintive insistence that
he was always the apostle of peace.
but is forgotten.
The German people do not pay Will
helm the compliment of consideration
A handful of Nationalist may pin on
several pounds of medals and parade
before the specter of former greatness.
At one time such procedure caused an
occasional riot. The former Kaiser
now is only regarded as a national bore.
The indifference of the country is
not confined to the former ruler him.
self, but to the entire Hohenzollern
family. Even if a day should come
when return to the monarchy might
be deemed advisable, no thinking Ger
man believes that any scion of that
house would be included among the
prospective candidates. Wilhelm may
write book about his ancestors, but
the royal press agent cannot stimulate
any regard among the republican ma
jority for that regime. The goose
step, q chest laden with medals and a
coterie of old army officers cannot off,
set the progress the country Is max
ing under the existing government.
The German people are rapidly re-
gaining that commercial eminence
which they achieved prior to 1914. It
Is true foreign soldiers still occupy a
portion of the country and that repara-
tons must be paid for a still undeter-
mined period. The crisis has been
safely met. however, and republican
Germany Is growing more prosperous
daily.
The Hohenzollerns have played no
part in that development They have
been a hindrance rather than an aid
in the work Of restoration. They suf-
fered no physical punishment for their
share of the war guilt, but they have
not escaped scot free. Realization OF
their present insignificanee must be q
cruel blow to former arrogance.

ornaments has not been calculated to
give the little-Navy group In the United
States much hope for consideration at
this time. Indeed, the attitude of the
British government has had just the
opposite effect. 1t has stirred up the
members of Congress, who are
now demanding a much enlarged naval
building program. 1t would be as fool
ish to be carried away and to rush into
a building program that goes beyond
the actual needs of the Navy for ma
tional defense as to yield to the demand
Of the little Navy people for an made

The British are entitled to their own

Anybody want an elk? One of the
four-footed brand may be had for the
asking from the Biological Survey of
the Department Of Agriculture by any
one who will remove the elk without
cost to the Government from the ma
tional bison range. The range is in
Western Montana, near the towns of
Moiese and Dixon. Because the elk
there have increased beyond the carry
ing capacity of the range, it is neces-
sary further to reduce their numbers,
even though some of the surplus ami
mails have already been disposed of by
sale. The national bison range is adj
ministered primarily for the mainte-
nance of a fair sized herd of buffalo,
the original stock Of which was sup
piled by the American Bison Society.
Elk at this time are mainly valuable
for exhibition purposes at ZOOS and for
stocking game parks and farms. 1t is
now too late in the season for elk meat
to be good.
