lead ore shipped in the state when

Re: Senate Bill 1855 and
Domestic Silver
Dear Senator Townsend:
We have noted with interest
the extension of your remarks
on the above subject which APP
pears on page $3.50 of the Con-
gressional Record for March %.
In filing our letter of March
20 with the Chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency. we were OF
course referring to the text OF
your bill as introduced on Jan
uary IT, 1899. A reading of
this bill indicated that it APP
piled not only to the purchase
of foreign silver under the
Silver Purchase Act of 1884,
hut also to the obligation of the
Treasury to acquire newly min
ed domestic silver under other
Acts of Congress. We felt it
incumbent upon us, in behalf of
the mining industry of this
country, to call this matter to
the attention of Senator Wag
ner's committee. We did not
of course have available at that
time the text of the report of
subcommittee to the full
Banking and Currency Com.
mittee.
We are pleased to note the
bill as reported to the Senate
has been amended so that it
relates only to the purchase of
foreign silver.
With cordial regards,
Very sincerely yours.

Washington, D. c,
Dear Mr. Conover:
/ thank you very much for
your letter of April second, in
which you referred to the letter
you wrote to the chairman Of
the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee on March 20.
Probably YOU noticed in the
Appendix OF the Congressional
Record of yesterday April 8,
page 6372, copy of my letter
addressed to the editor OF the
Spokesman Review of Spokane,
Washington. 1t seems that that
publication, based upon the
text Of the letter you wrote to
chairman of the Banking and
Currency Committee. published
an article which does not accur-
ately portray the entire lack
of relationship between my bill,
S. 1855, and the domestic silver
subsidy enacted on a perman
ent basis on July 6, 1899.
In the latest issue OF the
Arizona Mining Journal
notice that there has been pub
lished a similar misconception
based upon your above-men-
toned letter to Senator Wagner.
Presumably. the American
Mining Congress issues bulle
tins to its members and others.
If, at some early date, you can
find the opportunity to rectify
the erroneous impression Great
ed by your March goth letter
to Senator Wagner, I should
appreciate it.
Yours very sincerely,
John G. Townsend, Jr.

Just Wait and See

Raffaele Bendandi, amateur
seismologist and astronomer of
Italy, said recently that he had dis
covered four new planets the exist
ence of which would cause North
America-or maybe Europe--to
sink beneath the ocean on April 6,
2521. !.
Bendandi, who has claimed sue
cess in forecasting earthquakes dur
ing the last six years, said his cal
culations indicated that North
America--or Europe-would become
another lost Atlantis in map
changing deluge comparable to the
Biblical deluge which Noah sur
vived in his ark.

dandi said. II estimated that the

before this discovery. | consider

II. S. Fur Markets

Once the United States had such
great fur resources that it created
foreign markets now the de-
mand here is SO great that about
tWo-thirds Of our furs are imported
]. this is particularly importan.
at the present because, in the
event of a general European war
which might cut off the outside sup
ply, our own fur resources would be
exhausted within few years !.
and not only that, but because OF
lack of state cooperation, the II. S.
has no accurate inventory of the
amount of wild fur animals being
taken each year all that is
known is that more fur animals are
being taken than are being replaced
which is very bad business
from any standpoint.

Man Doesn't Face Life
Squarely, Says Scientist

New Haven. MAN never faces
life exactly squarely; he presents
what a photographer would call a
three-quarter view, or bias front,
and he makes his escape obliquely
from unpleasant situations.
This picture OF human physio-
logical development was drawn by
DR.. Arnold Gesell, director of Yale
university's clinic of child devel-
opment, from study of motion pic
lures Of the postures of human in
fants.
Contrary to what has been previ-
ously taught, the very young human
baby favors one-sided posture
which scientists have believed was
confined to lower animals, Doctor
Gessell found. The young infant
Enthusiastically lies with head
turned to one side, the arm on that
side extended, and the arm on the
other side doubled up.
Such posture may have its part
in the childs development, aiding
in the fixing Of the eyes on the
outstretched hand and later eye
hand coordination, Doctor Gesell
believes 1t would also tend to pre-
vent Nsuffocation of the infant and
serve other purposes for survival
and growth.
When the baby is twenty-four
weeks old, this one-sidedness be-
comes submerged in the tendency
to move both hands and arms to-
gether. but is never completely
lost.

Invention Of Ice Cream Cones
@ Western Newspaper Union.

n FORGE WASHINGTON liked to
~ eat ice cream. He had a spe-
cially-built freezer in which hi s
servants made ice cream for him
whenever they could get ice.
But no one ever tasted an ice
cream cone before 1900 The honor
of its invention goes to the girl
friend of Charles r, Menches, a
young ice cream salesman in St.
Louis. Menches was doing his
counting during the St. Louis ex-
position in 1904.
On one occasion he brought his
fancee a bunch of flowers and an
ice cream sandwich at the same
time. Lacking vase, the resource
full lady took one of the layers of
the sandwich and rolled it into a
cone to act as a vase. She then
rolled the other cone in the same
way, and so was invented the ice
cream cone.
The ice cream sundae is of an
earlier origin. About 1870, the city
council Of Ithaca, N. r., passed
a law prohibiting saloons from SELL
ing drinks on Sunday. The law,
however, did nothing to prevent bar
customers from getting thirsty on
Sundays the same as any other day.
The pharmacist in a drug store
across the street from the city's
leading saloon was not slow to
capitalize on this human frailty. He
devised Sunday concoction made
OF ice cream to provide relief for
thirsty customers on that day in
place Of stronger fare. In almost
no time, his idea had spread to all
the other towns in the country that
also had Sunday closing laws for
saloons.

Folsom Men Ousted
as Oldest Americans
by Other Primitives

Los Angeles, calif.-Discov.
cry OF strong evidence that
America had two prehistoric
waves of. pioneers before the
famous Folsom hunters arrived
on our shores is reported here
by the Southwest museum.
The discovery is pronounced "of
major Importance to American
archeology.' 1t is as surprising an
addition to our prehistory as if two
boats earlier than the Mayfower
had been found bearing colonists to
New England shores in our historic
era.
A joint expedition Of Carnegie In
stitution of Washington and South
west museum, led by M. r. Harring-
ton of the latter institution, .un-
earthed stone relics of the long de-
parted and long-lost Americans. In
vestigating the shore Sf brackish
pond in Lake county, California;
where G., c. Post of Berkeley had
found spearheads of one of the old
. est cultures of America, the archie
ologlsts found brand-new chapters
OF prehlstory opening before them.
The surface layer. turned topsy-
turvy by recent blowing, contained
spear heads, knives, drills, and
scrapers typical Of the Folsom hunt
ers. With such implements, Folsom
men killed the mammoth and giant
bison and prepared the kill for
food and clothing. Seven to twelve
thousand years ago is the loosely
estimated antiquity of this Folsom
era.
May Date to 10000 b. c.
With Folsom man s handiWork the
psychologists found quite different
stone spearheads and other nipple
ments. These different tools had re-
Gently been turning up at Lake Mo-
have and another western site, leav-
ing psychologists doubtful as to
whether they had found people older
than the Folsom hunters, or not.
Now the mystery is believed solved,
since digging into the Lake county
site revealed the Mohave type of
tool in camp deposit definitely be-
low the Folsom tools-and therefore
older than the Folsom tools.
There may have been not merely
one but two kinds of primitive pio-
neers inhabiting America in those
pre-Folsom days, at the same time.
For MIR. Harrington reports finding
new type Of spearhead, which he
calls the Borax Lake type, which
was found buried at about the same
levels as the Lske Mohave tools
Most surprising of all was the dis
covery that below all these relics
lay still older weapons, made by
people "as yet entirely unknown
quantities in American archaeology
These dawn men of America made
crude and coarse stone implements
described by the psychologists as
mainly large scrapers and hand
axes which they c1utched in the fist,
using no handle.
) Finding the deep levels Of the site
thus undisturbed after thousands Of
years convinced Mr., Harrington that
these unknown ancients lived about
10000 B. c.. or perhaps earlier.
