j Sclent Ilk- American. that tlie cradle
; of humanity wa? essentially south
j western Kuropw, with later the Medi
terranean basin, western Asia ami Af
rica. 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

Re.tnt Kindt in nn<l Shov That
Ancients Had Knowlet-'yo of
Things Wt Call Modem.
When the ltoinans were in Hritaln
th*?y drove one of their tlnn, Wfcll
pav(.nK lanUng road* tfhigonally right
across lihigland from the Kentish coast
to the l>ee, taking in London on Itii
wn.v,
That xea-to-*oa thoroughfare was a
bus) scene 1,800 ycain Uffo. ClvllUa
tlon gathered along It. Now the road
la being excavated and widened or re
made *s mm of the groat motor roads,
and (lu> digging that is going oil,
an nearly men labor lo give the
old routo a now life, reveals some curl
ouh proofs of how liitlo change has
taken place In mane of the habits of
the people.
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

He held out his hand and. suppos
