The fossil tooth of a large ape that J ived in the region of Nebraska about J alf a million years ago, just before he earliest evidences of man in the ) vorld, has just been discovered by v geologist, Harold J. Cooke. It is J i molar tooth, about half an inch icross the top, and with a similar j >ne found in 1908 constitutes the on-1 y remains of this species found in America. The American Museum of Natural listory is arranging to send an exavating party of three to Nebraska, n command of Albert Thompson, to ipend several months on the ground. Surroundings indicate ether and more tlentiful finds may be uncovered. According to Dr. Clark Wissler, urator of anthropology of the Amercan Museum, these teeth show the mthropoid apes migrated to America ver some land connection from Asia, irobably, in the vicinity of Alaska, ust as did the Mongoloid races, which ere apparently the first human bengs on the American continents. William J. Bryan, foe of evolutioniry doctrines, was long a resident of Nebraska. oTen Million for Columbia Land Bank.
