Kings Verger to Retire;
Has Served Sixtv Years

John Crisp, the verger at Sand
ringham church, is retiring on a
pension granted by the king after
60 years of service with royalty.
He has shown probably nearly
half million people from all parts
over the beautiful church, with its
solid silver altar table and pulpit,
precious stones, and memorial win
dows and plaques of past members
of the royal family.
Before becoming verger. Mr. Crisp
was an attendant at the skittle al
leys at Sandringham house. where
kings and emperOrs used to play.
He remarked in connection with
that work: 81 have picked up the
pins (skittles) for nearly all the
monarchs of fifty to sixty years."
He is seventy-three years of age,
and probably the Oldest employee
of the king. who is now pensioning
off his workers at sixty-fve.
Mr.. Crisp is rather sad at retir-
ing, and feels the wrench after so
many years service. He will also
receive the national pension.-Mon-

DUCK ISLAND, Mich, August 81
Chase Salmon Osborn, former Governor
of Michigan and world scientific trav-
e,er, has been adding up the total size
of the human race If every one today
alive were rolled into one individual.
His resulting "pananthropus' is seven
times taller than the distance from here
to the moon. Thinking in terms of this
tremendous being, he says, makes 1t.
easier to envisage human problems, to
realize why progress is slow and see the
really tremendous forces now turning
their energies toward new major epoch.
Race No Longer Isolated.
"The human race no longer exists in
isolated groups" he says. in explaining
that spiritually this human giant is
really coming to exist. ocean ships,
automobiles, railroads, airships. tele-
graph and telephone have linked man
kind and welded it into unity.
This tremendous organism-panan-
thropus, or call it what you will-can-
not be measured by the eye, but can
envisioning a vast human being COM
prised of the entire population OF the
earth. two billion people fused into one
colossal man.
Suppose the average height Of a
man is five feet Pananthropus, made
UP of all mankind. would have a sta
ture of ten billion feet. This is more
than 1.75O,000 miles tall. With his feet
on earth and his head in space. he
would look down on moon swinging
below his knees. =,
"Pananthropus has greater strength
than all the hydraulic forces Of all the
rivers on the earth. All the labora-
tories of the world made into one would
not be as large as the combined all
mentary-chemical systems Of mankind.

ing is comparable with the total power
