It Is primarily from Kliropo and secondarily from these rontons that tho earth whs peopled, and this peo pling Was comparatively recent, Karly man was unable to people the globe owing to his Insufficient effectiveness and until the end of glacial tltues and his old stone culture he had evidently all he could do to preserve mere ex? istence. Only an advance In culture could enable him to control his en vironment and secure a steady surplus of births over deaths. The cause of man's peopling of the world was not a mere wish to do so, but the necessity arising from growing numbers arid cor respondingly decreasing supply of food. It was this which eventually led to agriculture. This spreading over the globe was conditioned by three great laws ? movement In the di rection of least resistance; movement in the direction Of the greatest pros pects; movement due to a force from behind, or compulsion. CAUSED LAUGHTER IN CHURCH 8m*ll Donald'* Remark Too Much for 8ense of Humor of Those Who Heard It Thi?M? printed for the benefit of a certain Los Angelea minister who Is probably Htlll wondering how It hap pened that a certain portion of his erstwhile decorous congregation laughed out loud In the middle of the offertory the other Sunday. This Is what happened : It was Donald's first experience in grown-up .church though the little chap had attended Sunday school. When the collection was being taken, his father placed the weekly family offering In the plate. The pew was a short one, and no other contri bution was received from it. Evidently this aroused Donald's curiosity, for ii? blurted cut, with ?!? the eagerness of childhood trying to nnderstand : "Pa, did you have to pay for the whole row?" Champion Wolf Trapper. E. F. Pope, predatory animal ln sp?cto^ for the United States bureau of Biological Survey, is recognized an the . "champion wolf catcher of the United States," and has the reputa tion of always "getting wolf." He has given his life to the work. Mr. Pope began the work of destroy ing predatory animals when he was twelve years old, He was raised on a ranch In western Texas and devoted his time to the work when conditions reached the point whore it was im possible to let cattle graze without a guard being placed over them to pro tect them from the woWes, coyotes and bobcats. A few years later he parted living with an old trapper who was famed all over Texas for his success In trapping wolves. During this period Mr. Pope said he got his most valu able experience and learned the superi ority of scientific trapping over un scientific methods. The Niohtle and Nina My most embarrassing moment oc curred one day when day employer, a merchandise man who often writes advertisements for newspapers, asked me to spell the word "ninety." There Is a glass partition between his desk and mine, and I1 was busily engaged writing some letters. I mis understood him and spelled the word "nightie," thinking he was engaged in writing an ad advertising Infants' wear. What he really was doing was writing out a check fur ninety dollars. It was Indeed a most embarrassing moment, but I must say "my boss enjoyed a good heaity laugh at nay expense. ? Exchange. Can Bjte Through Steel. v That a Jewish athlete named Brel bart, thirty-four years old, six feet three Inches In height, and weighing 210 pounds, ran bite through steel is vouched for by a medical correspond ent of the London Lancet. Brelbart's performances astounded a committee of physicians, engineers, smiths and presidents of athletic corporations who saw hint sever wlth>hig teeth eev eral iron and steel chains one-fifth of an inch thick ; bend Into a circle iron rods half an Inch square, using his month as a fulcrum, and bend over his houd a rail four Inchcs thick by two and a half Inches. Use for Marbles. "I owe my latest Idea in home benu tJfylne to the marble contest." says a Detroit housewife, who Is not un willing to pass her Idea along. Mar bles that blend with the coloring of a room make an artistic base lor dowers that grow from bulbs planted in bowls. Unsightly pebbles, roots and bulbs themselves may be concealed so that the flowers seem to spring from a colorful bed of marbles. ? Detrqjt Utilize Alaskan Lumber. About per cent vof the lumber n*pd In Alaska Is out from the national forests, according to the forest service, F >epnrt'"VM of A (frlft^- J lure.

In that far-off time, for instance, near Southtloet in Kent, a little Koman or British girl became the proud pos sessor of a cup on which her name was scratched, AMAI>A. How It cntne to bo burled whole nobody can any, but burled It was, for It has been un earthed by the workers who are widen ing old WatUng street. Many other relics are heiuK brought to light . Fragment a of pottery, whole Teasels like Amada's cup, some with the potter's name Impressed on them, querns, or hand mills, for grinding corn, terra-cotta lamps, bronte pins, and coins. At Dart ford a bronze brooch has been found In such a perfect state of pres ervation that after 1,800 years It could be used today for Its original purpose. The point of the pin falls into ? socket, as with a n/odern safety-pin, and shows that our ways and those of our forefathers are very near. HEAD WORK THAT COUNTED Indian's Brand Would Seem to Havt Been Superior to the White Man's. A. chief of h tribe of Cnnadtan In dians was looking Idly on while some Englishmen were hard at ..work Im proving property newly acquired from the tribe. "Why don't you work?" said the supervisor to the chief, "Why you no work yourself?" "I work head work," replied the white man, touching his forehead. "But come here and kill this calf for me, and I'll pay you." The Indian stood HtlU for a mowent, apparently deep In thought, and then ts went off to Will the calf. "Why don't you finish the Job?" presently asked the supervisor, seeing the man stand with folded arms over the un sklnned, undressed carcass. "You say you pay me to kill calf," was the re ply. "Calf dead, me waisit money." The white man smiled, and handed the Indian an extra coin to go on with the work. "How in It," asked the Englishman one day. after a series of such one-sided dealings "that you so often get the better of me?" "I work head work !" solemnly replied the man of the woods. ? Exchange. Glass Thunderbolts. An exhibition of "petrified thunder bolts" may be viewed by visitors to the American Museum of Natural, History In New .York. Technically they are known as fulgurites, and the officials of the museum have deeded that there are several million persons id the Unit ed States that, have worried along for years without knowledge of fulgurites. Dr. O. E. Hovey of the museum's de partment of geology explained that a fulgurite is a giasa which Is often produced when lightning strikes a mas# of rock or a bed of dry sand and melts the material beneath the Impact. In other words, It Is glass made by nature In very much the same way that men make glass In glass foun dries. The fulgurites In the museum come from all sorts of places ? Mt. Ararat, the desert of Sahara, Michi gan, Illinois and *MehemameMbaka. Antimacassar Coming Back. The news that antimacassars are coming in again will stir memories of those once ubiquitous parlor chair em bellishments. Antimacassars were annoying wisps of lace or beribboned fancy work of washable character an nexed to the tops of the hacks or chairs to protect them from the oily and perfumed locks of the Victorian beaux. _ And it Js because men are again greasing their hair that antimacas sars are coming back. In Victorian times the favorite anointment for mas culine curls was macassar oil, whence the name "antimacassar." Tourists Cauee Foreet Fires. According to the annual report of the forest service, United Statea De nsrtment of Agriculture. a large part of the danger to the notional forests from man-caused fires Is due to the seasonal Influx of tourists, campers, hunters and fishermen, and <>ll?er vis itors from the cities and from distant parts of the country. A national cam paign of public ediwmtlon on the sub ject of forest fires Is demanded If the task of protection of the vast area of the notional forests from Maine und Florida and Oallfomln and Washing ton Is to f>e successfully performed. it Must Have Been Terrible. One morxlng when I returned to school after an illness I was told to go to the principal for an excuse. I went to his office, taking my report card.
