This remarlcable discovery was made on Octftr r 3 last in the cave of La Colombiere, beside e River Ain, in southern ce, by Dr. Lucien jjffayet, profesAor of hu- :i|&an palaeontology at the IJlJuiversity of Lyon, and • './SML Jean Pissot of Poncin, )• town close to the cave. c-'The official report of the {great find was read tp the 'Paris Academy of Sciences by M.

Sivftr-v-^i The cave of La Colom- bierp is situated on the fight bank of the Ain, (about 20 meters above the ^ • present level of that river, ~ *etween Poncln and Neuville-sur-Aln. As long 1875 a scientist, Mr. Moyret, called atteik- "lion to it as having been inhabited in prehistoric • ^meB- B^er since inumerous investigators have ^ tlsited it. They conducted their investigations 4|o assiduously that the level of the cave formed »[C-^ during the Neolithic age--comparatively recent, 7 .' ,'.'n 4116 eyes of geologists and anthropologists--- \,:.v"^as dug away, also the contiguous level of the \£, '* #arlier Magdalenlan age. This lowered the level i . bf the cave by 76 centimeters and brought to llgliV ®eMs °' Neolithic and Magdalenlan relics. .1 -?',** the richest find of all was yet to come. •^0%l|^-^ttning last May, the latest investigators began to .^." ̂ .v ̂ ig deeper into the soil forming the floor of the ^^^ijaTe, and after they had penetrated about one rvi%! , - aieter further down they found a stratum of fine (ravel, showing unmistakable signs of dating 3from the still earlier Aurignacian age. TMt proved to be a veritable treasure trove. In it were uncovered the "studio" of a prehis­ toric artist, containing a number of different sorts iff engraver's toolB, pieces of mammoth, rhino©- eros, and raindeer bones, pieces of stone ready for "i^Jjingraving, and stones and bones with engravings *J5^, f; Already cut into them. « ^ ; One of the latter represents a hone of a M- V-• <&**"kably finished type; another shows a blsco. Still another a wild sheep. But the prize of the collection, the prize which, it is confidently • i,'. 4 'expected, will make this an epoch-making find the annals of anthropology, is the piece of ^ mammoth's bone on which is cut the figure of a if' .Jfeuman being. This, in the words of those who ijfcave unearthed it, "is the first document repra- . .Renting, in engraved form, the man of the Middle ^ ~ Quaternary age, the minimum age of which is j|5,000 years." ; As those who delve into the remote history St |>ur race are aware, plcturings of himself by pre- ^ ; * jiistorlc man are extremely rare. He delighted I "Vtn drawing and carving the strange beasts whioh '^'Ae saw about him--bisons, reindeer, mammoth, Worses and the like--but when It came to giving 99 an idea of what tie looked like himself he was 4 .v >^orm ot drawings or engravings. Rude carvings ' I----; tc>f human beings, dating far beyond the dawn of i ; jiistory, have been dug up--at Villendorf, In Aua- }§ ,&r«^itria; at Brassempouy, the Laussel cave, and the y- ; grottoes of Grimaldl in Prance and other places, r jpwing to this paucity of first-hand Information. ~ r.^Veconstructlons of prehistoric man from the vatj- •- tigu8 skulls and bones found at different times •||iave been largely a matter of conjecture. It has jbeen a case of every one guessing for himself, Jlegion. One group of savants, endeavoring to 'Auild up our remote ancestor from the famous ' Relics found in the Neanderthal, near DuBseidorf, Germany; at Spy, in Belgium, and at La Chapelle- wfiux-Satnts, in France, have shown us something i*\ Materially strengthening the Darwinian theory |hat man is. descended from the ape. Another Triroup, basing its deductions on the "man" recon- •• 4 ? itructed from the Piltdown skull, has endeavor •,.v«d to prove that prehistoric man, from whom we S'-'Wre descended, never became so bestial as the \ .|»0Bse880r8 of the Neanderthal-Spy-La Chappelle- 1 *jLUX-SaintB skulls, and that the latter belonged rjjji branch of the race which gradually degenerat- ..s^pd until it finally became extinct, while the other iK fnd superior branch kept on improving until mam t we know him was gradually evolved. .. This latter theory, it is expected by the dtfc* foverers of the prehistoric "studio" in the cave If La Colombiere, will be greatly bolstered up what they have brought to light. To begin ^•jjrtth, the best known depictions of human beings <1$f a similar sort--notably the sculptured forms ot I'fromen found at Azil and elsewhere in France, ;ji'J|is well as the sketches of the human face un­ earthed In the cave of Marsoulas--were produced • !|n the Magdalenlan age, according to the theory ' geJterally accepted by Frenchmen, and, therefore* •%vire supposed to be much more recent than any- ^/^hing dating from the Aurignacian age. • i Granting, then, that the pictures Ip the cave Of ta Colombiere really date from the Aurignacian ge--and the report read by M. Douville shows . *> |>retty conclusively that they do--and that those „ Similar to them discovered up to .now are of a more recent date, the character of the work done |>y the cave artist of La Colombiere is such as 1A- u : mediately to rivet the closest attention on it , For the "man" here shown, the man of tfel> J%7*DDg CQCarX3l£RX &3XZ3WR,. 2&m> OFJIR&WZH&S* rstttsWRiv DRXHzrr&i rfxmD CB)JTT <3io7Tg J>$& Tjp̂ s.m <7Ĵ ?gXPJfj (E) m mX7'CLirr~Jiz-GAzr2fX CAJ&.

Compare this man of La Colombiere with the middle one of the three human faces from the cave of Marsoulas, shown on this page. He has the same respectable skull development, much more like that of the possessor of the Piltdown skull than that of the ape-like "Neanderthal man" and his congerers. The nose. It. will also be noted, is very similar to that of the Marsoulas man,' likewise the heavy chin. So much for the contentions of the Frenchmen who have made this remarkable find. Backed up though they are by good arguments, It is not like­ ly that they will be swallowed without a struggle. .NrrrfXTT rtirtKMauiVZZ) QJfl̂ RT QF TX& , On the c o n t r a r y , t h e y w i l l p r o b a b l y b e t h e c a u s e y J Q B 2 2 Z & O f of still another controversy to add to the already jpf jC^jrfcy ffrpn=*rju~mir 7>f7?ran k • itrangely coy. '-3®="? Especially rare are depictions of man In the •M •• \|'&b stormy annals of anthropology. For there Is un­ doubtedly another side to the question. First, as to the pictures just found of La Cotoflfr blere. In-spite of the fact that those similar to them--including the human faces of the cave of Marsoulas--are generally ascribed by Frenchmen not to the Aurignacian but to the later Magdalen­ lan age, others think them productions of Aurig- nlcian artists. If this latter theory Is accepted, the "man" , of La Colombiere Is simply one mors to add to the scanty gallery of Aurignacian depUfc tions of human beings. Even if he proves to be that and nothing more, he will be accounted a precious find, but naturally his value will not M so enormous as those who have found him and those who share their views would have us be­ lieve. Second, as to whether the "man" of La Colom­ biere proves that we are descended from the Neanderthal-Spy-La Chapelle-aux-Salnta race or the race represented by him of the Piltdown skull. There, too, matters are by no means as easy as they look to the sanguine Frenchmen. Plenty of learned men who have studied the subject of the descent of man are of the opinion that man may be descended from neither of these interest­ ing groups they contend, that both of these races may have become extinct and that mankind sprang, possibly, from some race which appeared later. The latest news from abroad shows that the man of La Colombiere has already set learned tongues to wagging against each other. Already Messrs. Mayet and Pissot, the savants who found him, have a hornet's nest about their ears. In London Mr. J. Leon Williams, writing In the Illus- trated London News, has placed himself on record as a foe to the belief that he of La Colombiere Is the earliest picture of a man. Mr. Williams' idea is that we have to do here not with a faithful de­ lineation of the human form but with a carica­ ture He writes: "As Messrs. Mayet and Pissot Bay, the drawing is very clear,,especially the face and upper part of the head. TThe back of the head and the neck do not seem to me very well defined in the pho­ tograph. » "The discoverers speak of this drawing as hav­ ing none of the characteristics represented by the Neanderthal, Spy, or La Chapelle-aux-Salnts skulls. In their opinion, the head resembles the fossil skull of Chancelade. They say: "'The head Is large, the forehead round and prominent (bombre), rising slightly obliQUdty. The face Is long, as though pulled out from be­ low upward, and Is distinctly projected forward; 'the chin Is prominent, and has a short beard in­ dicated by small lines; the nose is long and very -thick; the eye is indicated by two curved lines, and has an indefinable expression.' "In this detailed description it is quite evident that Dr. Mayet and M. Pissot believe that we have here something in the nature of a realistic draw­ ing of Aurignacian man. This Is confirmed by ' their further statement that we have not previous­ ly found any engraved figures that teach us any­ thing. definite about the exact form of contour of , the human face of the Aurignacian or Solutrian "periods, and that this want has now been filled jby their discoveries. "With these statements and conclusions I find it impossible to agree. At leeat two other en* gravlngs of the human face hava been previously discovered, one in the Qrotte des Feee in the Gironde. and the other in the Font-de-Gsume fltl Lea Eyzles (D*rdogne.). . . . "I think It will be clearly seen that the great interest in this new dlscoveiy lies not in the be­ lief that it is unique, but In the fact that It is not unique. It is a ma^r of the deepest interest to find in these three drawings certain identical conventions. The general shape of the head, nose, and chin Is the same in all of them. The way In which the mouth Is placed is the same in the two which show the mouth, and what our dis­ coverers speak of as the "Indefinable expression of the eye' Is produced by identical, lines in all three engravings. All of this suggests several things, among which we may mention that the Colombiere drawing can hardly be means to represent any particular in­ dividual; It Is hardly possible that It was intended as a realistic production. It may be a rude out­ line effort, such as a child would make, or It may be a deliberate convention with a meaning of which we are Ignorant. If the drawing from the Font-de-Gaume cave was made by the artist who drew the figures of bison and other animals on the rock walls of that cavern, then there is some­ thing curious and mysterious In the fact that the drawings of the wild animals are wonderfully realistic, while the one intended to represent a human face is vastly inferior to the others. "We have probably not yet quite fathomed pre- historic man's ideas and Intentions in all this work. Another proof that this Colombiere en­ graving cannot be intended as a realistic drawing Is seen In the photograph and outline drawing of the skull of the Combre Capelle man. This is generally accepted as the typical Aurignacian skull. But by no possible arrangement of the soft parts around that Aurignacian skull could we produce a representation of a face resembling any one of the conventionalised prehistorio drawings shown." FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE WOMEN. Because he did not mention women In his recent address on "The City of the Future," Brand Whit- lock, mayor of Toledo, O., was taken to task by Mrs. Frederick Nathan after the lecture. Mr. Whitlock, who is soon to resign to become minister to Belgium, appeared in the Hudson thea­ ter under the auspices of the League for Political Education, of which Robert Erskine Ely Is direc­ tor. He talked about the type of the city of the tlqje to come, but not once did he refer directly or indirectly to any part women may take in the administration of the future city's affairs. "What do you mean by leaving women entirely out of it?" demanded Mrs. Nathan, when she could get close enough to the speaker to attract his attention. "Of course women will be a factor in the future city." "Why, why," stammered the lecturer, "I forgot all about the women. Didn't I <say anything about them?" "No, you dldnV replied Mrs. Nathan. "Well, of course, I meant to. for they will be in- eluded in municipal administration." was Mr. Whiflock's answer. "And he stamps on all his letters Totes for Women,'" Mrs. Nathan remarked later. "I know it because I hare had many nice ones from this suffragist mayor who is Interested In much that Interests us women."--New York Herald. SOMEWHAT SO. "Is this article of yours about the underworld exposure?" ^ "Well, in a way.". "What do you mean by in a way?"

Music must ow form a part oC lis training, says ondon Ansxrem. - The latest type of safe has no locks, keys or keyholes. Instead, there Is a tightly stretched wire, which responds to its own musical note. The wire Is connected with an electric battery In­ side the safe, and to open one must sound a tuning fork or a note on bugle, organ or trumpet in precisely the eame way as the wire. When the note Is sounded the sensitive wire vi­ brates and turns on the current which operates the, locking mechanism. Three wires are used in some in­ stances, necessitating, of course, three trumpet blasts In different keys be­ fore the mechanism will work. The obvious danger to this appara­ tus irv ot course, that one of the wires mtghv get out of tune, in which case the safe would remain snugly locked until tbe right key was struck. 4odlne In Solid Tablets ̂ • ' flfrer Since the powerful antiseptic properties of tincfure of iodine were discovered, this has been one of the favorite washes used for disinfecting cuts and sores and keeping them clean. But it has been discovered that tinc­ ture of iodine must be freshly made at a week old it becomes irritant and after a month Is caustic. To remedy this defect Major Peller- in of the French army medical corps has Invented a method of making tab­ lets of compressed pure Iodine which resist all change for many months. When tincture of Iodine Is needed, a tablet ns placed In alcohol, which dis­ solves It Instantly. This makes per­ fectly fresh tincture without any in* tant qualities.

Chicago, Jap. 7.--A national Indus* trial commission, with ample powers to supervise corporations, direct gen­ uine competition and single out for punishment individuals who break*the law, was advocated as the chief need of the government in its anti-trust warfare by Samuel Untermyer of New York city, counsel for the Pujo congressional money trust investigat­ ing committee, in a speech at a lunch­ eon of the Illinois Manufacturers' as­ sociation here on Monday. Mr.' Untermyer ridiculed the court "dissolution" of the Standard Oil trust as "flagrant and pitiful," with no restoration of competition among the The Cities of Western Reflect the Growth-of tte Country; W?

He also gave warning against iodging in the attor- citizens young men who have cotae is ney general the power of negotiating 'Wonsent decrees" like that which has broken up the American Telephone & Telegraph company. There must be, however, he said, an executive authority to assist the courts and the attorney general in the practical application of laws to liber­ ate business from the thraldom of il­ legal combinations, and this authority Mr. Untermyer would give to the in­ dustrial commission. The speaker did not recommend any plan^for the appointment of the commission. Mr. Untermyer directed the atten­ tion of the business men who heard him-to the fact that anti-trust legis­ lation is the next big problem to which the, national administration must de­ vote its energies. Business men, he said, should co-operate with con­ gress In a spirit of patriotism and not in the attitude of hostile criticism which characterizes utterances by banking organizations and Individual leaders before the passage of the In­ come tax and currency measures. In addition to a law for the indos- trial commission, Mr. Untermyer said congress should pass bills embodied In the 22 recommendations of the Pujo committee, dealing with banks, inter­ locking directorates, stock exchanges, clearing houses and the administra­ tion of the Sherman act. At one point, talking about "dum­ my" directors, he referred to the withdrawal of the house of Morgan from participation in the affairs of 18 corporations and said It is "most un­ substantial."

Although no reason for the change is given at the foreign office the transfer of Sir Lionel Carden recalls several instances of friction with Washington since he has been at Mex­ ico City. One grew out of Sir Lionel's action In presenting his credentials to Huerta on the day after President Wilson had formally communicated to the Mexican ruler his determination never to recognize his government Another was a published interview in which the British minister was quoted as saying the American representa­ tives in Mexico "did not understand conditions." from other parte, and brought will* them the experience that has taught them to avoid the mistakes of eastern and southern cities.
