Alaska Flowers Reveal
Prehistoric Villages

Observation-Disclosures that bloom
in Alaska can help explorers de-
tect prehistoric American villages,
hidden underground.
Importance of this botanic clue in
re-discovering the past is stressed
by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smith
sonian institution in a report to Sci
ence.
At the village trash heaps and
ruins, the earth is mixed with ami
NAL bones, shells, ashes, rotted
wood, and organic refuse, and in
this distinctly different soil spring
up plants different from those DOM
inant in the neighborhood. At Aga
tn, at the western end of the Aleu-
tan island chain, DR.. Hrdlicka
found village sites covered with
high stout grass on the slopes, and
thicket of wild parsnip, monks
hood and other Towering plants
over the top.
In locating hundreds of these sites
for archaeological exploration, DR..
Hrdlicka learned to detect an old
village site, by its plant covering,
as far away as he could see it
clearly.

Diver 420 Feet Down,
Pressure 800 Tons

Milwaukee.-Max E. Nohl, diver,
who descended to a depth of 420 feet
in Lake Michigan recently, with
stood a pressure on his body of 800
tons more at that depth than he. did
at the surface.
Atmospheric pressure of Is
pounds to the square inch adds up
to about twelve tons when all the
$500 square inches of the average
mans skin are considered. At 400
feet the pressure is about 1917
pounds to the square inch.
Dissolved gases in the human
blood stream and body cells enable
us to resist the pressure of the at
mosphere. At shallow depths, COM
pressed air helps a diver to re-
sist water pressure, but as the pres
sure increases, nitrogen from the
air dissolves in the blood stream,
causing trouble if the diver comes to
the surface too rapidly.
Bends" or caisson disease, a
common and serious illness of div
ers, is caused by collecting nitro
gen bubbles in the capillaries. These
bubbles act as blood clots.

Early Mans Relics
Found In Brittany
by Two Scientists

Paris.-Traces of early mans
existence have turned up in a
new part of the world-Brit-
tany, that upper left-hand cor
ner of France that is washed
by the English channel on the
north and the Atlantic ocean on
the west.
Evidence that prehistoric human
beings lived or visited in this re-
gion, in the days when crude stone
tools were mans most typical ham
dlWork, is beginning to come to
light.
The first discovery, made recent
ly, consisted of such tools, some
about 10000 years old, others per-
haps $4,000.
These blasted the theory that hui
man beings never reached this part
of Europe in their wanderings I'M
til the New Stone age, a mere 5000
years ago.
Now two French psychologists,
M. and Nine. st. Just Pequart,
have searched small islands off the
Brittany coast, where prehistoric
mans relics, if any, would escape
the destruction wrought by farm
ing and other activities of civiliza-
ton.
Camping Ground Found.
On one barren islet called Teviec
they have found what they wanted.
1t is a camping ground where pre-
historic men lived, and buried their
dead. These people were not so
ancient as the ones whose stone
tools were found on the Brittany
mainland. They lived in the Meso-
lithic, or Middle Stone, age, sand
WICKED between the Old Stone age
and the New, making them perhaps
$4,000 years old.
The French psychologists found
quantities of the kitchen refuse of
these Middle Stone age people, in
Guiding the bones of animals they
ate, shells, fragments of broken pot
terry dishes. Their flint implements
have also come to light. They left
no trace of houses, and probably
lived in tents.

Deep-Focus Quakes
Not So Destructive
as Surface Types
By DIR. FRANK THONE

Washington. - Deep focus
earthquakes, disturb ances
whose actual centers are scores
or hundreds of miles under
ground, account for about ten
per cent of all recorded shocks.
They release tremendous
amounts of energy, yet seldom
cause the death and destruction
for which the more numerous
surface earthquakes are re-
sponsible.
A summary study of deep-focus
earthquakes has recently been
made by Drs. Andrew Leith, of the
University of Wisconsin, and J. A.
Sharpe, of the Los Angeles labora-
tory of the Western Geophysical
company. They are convinced that
except for factors introduced by the
great depths themselves, there is
no essential difference between the
deep and the shallow earthquakes.
Two Great Earthquake Zones.
Both types occur in the same gen.
Ieral regions of the earth-one a
great horseshoe-shaped zone rough
ly arching about the Pacific, the
other stretching in a long line from
Portugal to Formosa. Both types
vary greatly in amount of energy
released. Due largely to their great
depths, the deep class of earth
.quakes have surface results more
widespread and diffuse, hence less
destructive, than the shalloW-focus
disturbances.
Deep-focus earthquakes may &C.
cur at all depths from 100 kilo-
meters beneath the surface to 700 Kill
ometers-the greatest depth for
any earthquake thus far on record.
Where the vast stresses needed to
power such earthquakes come from
is still pretty much of a riddle.
Cycles of deep earthquakes have
been correlated with the forces re-
sulting from the moons movements
and other outside factors, but the
stresses involved in these are so
small that their action is undoubt-
eddy that of triggers rather than of
main cause.

Subsea Canyons Clue
Found in Great Lakes

Urbana, In-Ice-carved lake ba-
sins in North America and Europe
may supply clues that will solve
the problem of the subsea canyons
which have excited the interest of
biologists recently. In reviewing
the evidence of ice-cutting of the
basins of the Great Lakes and other
lake basins, DR.. Francis P. Shep-
ard, University of Illinois geologist,
points out that an average thick
ness of the continental ice of four
miles or more during the most re-
cent glacial period would account
for both the cutting of the deep
lake basins in the northern parts Of
Europe and America and a lower
ing of sea level sufficient to &C
count for the submerged canyons.
Supporting the theory that the ba-
sins of the Great Lakes were large
ly cut out by glacial ice, DR.. Shep-
ard cites the evidence of large
amounts of fresh rock piled on the
southern shores of the lakes. Tbs
ice came from the north, and the
rock almost certainly came from
somewhere in the present lake ba-
sins.

Fuzzless Peach Developed
After Years of Research

Blacksburg, Va.-Peaches with
smooth, waxy skins like plums,
quite free from the fuzz which many
persons find Objectionable, can now
be grown, as result of quarter Of
a century of patient breeding work
by DR.. Fred w. Holman, research
horticulturist of the Virginia agri-
cultural experiment station here.
DR.. Holman crossed plum-peach
with liberia, and then crossed the
hybrid offspring with the J. H. Hale
peach, believed to be Seeding va
riety of Elberta. Further breed
ing produced, finally, the peach DR..
Holman was looking for: waxy-
skinned, fuzzless, good-sized, round
and evenly shaped. The flesh is
yellowish-cream colored, changing
to reddish around the pit, stone free
and small, flavor and texture supe-
rior. The skin color is reddish
orange yellow, with a wash of at
tractive dark carmine.

Don't Talk So Loud When
Speaking to the Deaf

Iowa City, Iowa.-Deaf people do
not enjoy loud talk.
When allowed to adjust the loud
ness of the voice to which they are
listening, individuals with normal
ears prefer to have it 38 decibles,
or loudness units, above the level
at which it is audible. Hard-of-
hearing persons will adjust the same
speech at a loudness only % to 20
decibles above their threshold Of
hearing. This was discovered in ex-
periments at the University of Iowa
by DR.. Noble H. Kelley.
Deaf ears function differently
from normal ears, DR.. Kelley found.
In speaking to those with normal
hearing you will have most difficulty
in making your consonant sounds
understood; vowel sounds are most
Ineligible. For the deafened, the
consonants are recognized practical
ly as easily as the vowels.

TO HOLD WHEAT MEETS
IN KENT COUNTY

For the purpose of explaining tht
basis which is being used by the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra'
ton in determining the wheat acre
age allotment on those farms in Kent
county which are included in the
agricultural conservation program
community meetings are being held
under the direction of the Kent COun-
ty Agricultural Conservation AssO-
citation in cooperation with the extern
sion service of the University of Del
aware.
Arrangements for these meetings
were made by County Agent Russell
E. Wilson in cooperation with r.
Harry Wilson, H. Clifford Clark and
Laurence E. Cain, members of the
county committee, and this phase of
the conservation program is being
explained by r. o. Stelzer. extension
economist of the University of Della
ware, and state executive oS.cer in
charge of this program in this state.
In the meantime members of the
county committee have been prepar-
ing wheat allotment cards which are
being mailed to all wheat growers
who are participating in this conser-
walton program. These cards indi-
cate the acreage of wheat which may
be seeded this fall for harvest in 1889
in accordance with the total acreage
that has been allocated to Kent Co.,
by the federal government.
Meetings this week will be held in
the Trophy Grange Hall in FELTON, on
Wednesday evening, September IA,
and in the First National Bank build
ing in Harrington on Friday evening,
September 16. Next week similar
meetings have been planned for Mon
day evening, September 10, in the
Legislative Building in Dover. and
for Tuesday evening, September 20.
in the Fire House in Smyrna.
All interested farmers, and espec-
tally wheat growers, are cordially in
vited to attend these educational
meetings and become more familiar
with this wheat allotment in connec-
ton with the agricultural conserva-
ton program, also the opportunities
offered by the federal government for
insuring the 1889 wheat crop against
yield losses from storms, floods,
droughts and other natural causes.
These meetings are of particular
importance in view of the fact that it
soon will be time to seed wheat in
this area, and those farmers who de-
sire to participate in this conserva-
ton program should have this infor-
nation in hand well in advance Of
the wheat seeding period.

FINE START

Elmer F. Andrews will have all
the charts and rules concerning new
wage-hour schedules ready next
month, and he tells the country, as
Administrator of the new Federal
Act, that he trusts employers and
employees to make the new Federal
law effective.
He doesn't suspect anybody or ev-
erybody, in advance, with trying to
chisel or evade the new law. In
business-like way he will organize
"a system of inspection, which can
accept, investigate. examine and take
proper action upon complaints.
This is entirely different from the
methods followed by the NLBR-
which has made it so unpopular.
Andrews has been through the
mill with the Labor Department in
New York State, and his Labor Day
statement indicates that he knows
his stuff. A1d what a relief this
promises to be from the brain
storming political demagogism that
has ushered in innovations in Gov
eminent regulations.
