Finds Bono* of Man. ^The site of the excavations Is 'parked by several eroded mounds f|hich the scientist believes were com- ®unity houses of the Omaha or Paw- |»ee Indians. It Is his theory that these mounds were built upon the foundations of the houses of the earlier tribe, possibly ancestors of the Mid-West Indians. In support of this Belief, he has discovered that the up- Jier structure--declared by him to liave been built with mud and stone tides covered with thatch--had an entrance on the south, whereas the %wer excavations clearly show entrances from the east. Using the Darwinian accumulation theory--one inch of earth to each century-- Doctor Gilder calculates that he has reached the 4,000-years-ago surface Ifcvel and there he has discovered portions of Iranian skulls, arm and foot bones. ,'1 Peace-Loving Race, He Says. .. i; His discoveries include, asbea? dafllared by him to be roasted human (tones.

Viva heavy cases of merchandise, valued at close to $40,000, were sent to a pier to be loaded for South America. The cases got Into the hands of a truckman who was working with. the harbor thieves. He took the cases to the pier, got a signed bill of lading from the shipping company, turned his truck about and drove oft the pier again without ever unloading. The trick was accomplished, of course, by inoans of collusion. One of the offlcfiis of the pier was working with the thieves and he had supplied the truckman in advance with a pass, which the guard at the land end of the pier was bound to recognise.

S., director of Natutrfi history department of the British museum. Recent investigation carried out In the whaling areas has revealed this alarming condition, he says. The whaling industry has survived Since the time of Alfred tha Great, despite the fact that there has naur a year known when scores wf tjpats did not leave the ports of Eng- ||Bd. Franca. Spain and Scandinavia to hunt the sea animals, Sir Sidney declared in a recent address in which he urged legislation against further hunting of whales. The Greenland variety of tha whale is already thought to be extinct, and the hunting of the last few years hss teen confined almost entirely to the southern seas. The profits derived from the killing of these cetaceans are enormous, and they Increase yearly as the retail price of the oil and bone increases. A fair-sized whale has a ton of whalabone in its moutb, which alone la worth $10,000. It also produces about HO tons of oil, worth about $100 a ton. In the season of 1915-16 the oil production from Antarctic whaling stations was 654,000 barrels, or about M,- 000 tons. During the war this oil was recognized as of vital importance in tile manufacture of nitroglycerin. It la now used in the making of soap.

Doctor Ashtan of Cambridge declared in a lecture, before the British association. The chances of such a catastrophe are practically negligible, he explained. ^ "Professor Rutherford succeeded In pranging a collision between the cen- -tfal portions of two atoms. The result «jas the transmutation of the atoms iato entirely different forms of matter. "The possibility of such transmutatk> n on any scale is of enormous hn- Jyartance. If the amount of hydrogen which goes to constitute a tablespoonfttl of water were transmuted into belium, the energy liberated would be ^00,000 kilowatt boors--one-seventh of -the total amount of electricity used In London In a day foe lighting and power purposes. "The possibility has been discussed, that this energy, when first liberated, would be out of human control. In that case, if all the hydrogen on earth were detonated into space, the successful experiment would be published throughout the entire universe as tba birth of a new star. The probability of thia catastrophe la practically negttfltMa." &$!$• Waives Menaoe Farmer4.^r.
