Fossilized Human Skeleton Un
covered in Quaternary Forma
tion Southwestern France
IS NOT THE OLDEST FOUND
Previous Discoverer Found Evidence
of Life In the Glacial Period This
Skeleton Is Intsct Surrounded by
Bones of Animals.
Paris, France. The discovery is an
nounced of a fossilized human skele
ton in the Department of DorUogno in
Southwestern Krancce. Accredited sci
entists declare it to be 20,000 years
old. The area in which Dr. Canitan,
professor at the College of France,
hae been carrying on researches for
three years, Is about four miles from
Buguo.
The skeleton, which is absolutely
intact and surrounded by the fossilized
bones of animals, was imbedded in
the middle of n quaternary formation.
Calculations as to its age are con
curred In by four well-known geolog
ists. The process of extracting the
bones from the rock is delicate.
This discovery near Buguc was pre
ceded in December of last year by
the unearthing at Chapelle aux Saints,
in the same district, of human re
mains declared to be the oldest in
existence. They consist of a skull
and other bones, which M. Perrier,
Director of the Paris Museum of Nat
ural History, declared last Winter to
be the earliest vestiges of man in
the world. He assigned them to the
pleistocene, or glacial period.
The skull of this supposed earliest
man had some characteristics of the
monkey. There was no forehead tc
speak of, but the chin and jaw were
distinctly human, and the capacity ol
the skull was considerably more that
a monkey's skull. The jaw was verj
long and the 'scientist, said that the
face must have been very immobile
This earliest man could not have
laughed. From the general charac
ter of the limbs It was concluded thai
the creature must have stood upright
with difficulty.
Similar remains have occasionall)
been found in widely separated parts
of Europe and scientists agree thai
no doubt is left that human life sev
eral degrees above the monkey stage
of development coexisted with the
glaciers.
FINDS DAUGTHER BY A DREAM,
Woman Learns that Ctrl She Had not
Seen In 18 Years was Married.
Pensacola, Fla. Finding her daugh
ter, who had been lost since an in
fant, eighteen years ago, through
the medium of a dream, was the ex
perience of Mrs. B. L. Ellis of this
city, who left here for ' Jonesboro,
Tenn., to visit her child.
According to Mrs. Ellis her husband
died in Jonesboro shortly after her
child was born, and the baby was
turned over to a neighbor until the
mother could come to Pensacola and
establish herself in business. Three
months later Mrs. Ellis went back to
Jonesboro for the baby, only to find
that her neighbor had moved to parts
unknown. For live years she search
ed for the child, but finally gave up In
despair.
About a week ago Mrs. Ellis had a
dream in which she saw her daughter
back In Jonesboro. She telegraphed
to friends in that city and received a
reply that her daughter, who had re
cently married, had returned with her
husband to that city and did not even
know that her mother was alive.
HAS BURIED 4,915 BODIES.
Illinois Sexton Believed to Hold the
Record for Interments.
Paris, 111. John F. Huls, sexton of
Edgar Cemetery, is believed to have
buried more people than any other
man in the world. Huls has served
in this capacity for thirty-seven years,
having been appointed March 1, 1892.
He lives at the cemetery gate, and
has prepared with his own hands
nearly all of the graves for the 4,915
bodies buried there during the period
of his incumbency. Though nearly
eighty years of age, Huls continues in
active service and knows every grave
in tho cemetery as well as he knows
his own dooryard.
Huls is a civil war veteran, having
rerved for eighteen months with the
Sixty-fourth Illinois Infantry. He was
taken prisoner at Bentonville, N. C,
but after a short imprisonment at
Andersonville was sent to Camp But
lor, returning homo at the close of
the war.
HUNT 'GATOR, CATCH WHISKEY.
Bottle Lost by Man Fishing Through

Wlnsted, Conn. A hunt is on In
Columbia Street Cove, Leo, a Berk
shire town, for an alligator about for

by several persons from trolley cars.
In another section of the same town
farmers are trying to discover tho

CITY OF THE DOVE.
Nest In Conqueror's Tent Decided
Cairo's Location.
Freight car No. 16.G5C of tho Penn
sylvania Railroad was held empty on
a side track in Richmond, 111., waiting
until Mrs. Robin Redbreast completed
the hatching out of a line nestful of
eggs laid on a journal box while tho
car was in New York, at Pier i.
Touching, but no novelty. When
mighty Amr' and his Moslem hosts
overthrew Egypt and made all North
ern Africa a stronghold of Allah and
his prophet, they camped on the east
bank of the Nile, opposite tho ancient
capital, Memphis, until they had
licked tho defenders of that ten-miles-wide
and twenty-miles-long city.
When Amr' had finished he thought
of moving into the fine town across
tho river, for which the palo shades
of the slaughtered Egyptians had no
further use. But in the Interval a
dove bad built its nest in the peak of
his great tent
Moslems are kindly to animals,
which are beyond the possibility of
being converted to Islam by tho
sword. Amr' nllowed that it would
be a pity to disturb the dove; he de
layed; meanwhile a new city grad
ually grew up on tho bare plain to
the north of his tent. In a word, Cairo
rose out of tho desert for the amaze
ment of after ages, while the Mem
phlan palaces of sun-dried bricks went
back into the soil. To this day in
South Cairo they will show you the
original Fostat, the "place of the
dove."
Almost Any Mother.
The mother of a large family fell
ill and died and the attending phy
sician reported that she died of star
vation. It was incredible, but he
proved it: Tho woman had to get the
dinner and then spend the next two
hours in waiting on the family and
getting the children to the table. It
was never on record that she got all
of them there at the same time and
they came straggling in all the way
from potatoes lo pic. By the time
she had wiped the last face, her own
hunger had left her and she had no
desire to eat. Chickens, the doctor
said, come running at feed time, but
children don't. A hen has a better
chance to eat than a mother. Atchi
son Globe.
On Porpoise.
A porpoise can neither play foot
ball nor yell, nor even so much as
wave a flag. He can't smoke a pipe.
He can act like a fool, it is true, but
he can't entertain tho notion that in
so doing he is bright. He can't call
his father the pater, nor his mother
the mater. He can't, merely by filling
his head with the east wind, get to
imagine himself simply it. Why, then.
do we continue to speak of schools of
purpolses? Puck.
Profitable Philosophy.
Benjamin Franklin, premier printer
and philosopher, when 1C read Tom
Tryon s vegetable vagary, became a
convert and thought fishing murder,
but a nosey curiosity showed him lit
tle fish in the stomach of big fish.
Franklin said if big fish eat little
ones, it seems not wrong to eat big
fish; also philosophized how conveni
cnt was reason, for it provides a good
excuse and a reason for anything you
want to do. New York Press.
Strictly After Nature.
A public building was in course of
erection in one of the western towns
of Scotland, in front of which a bust
of The Bruce was being carved. A
well-known bailie halted opposite the
sculptor one day and called out;
"I say, sculptor, d'ye no think ye
hae that beard inclining a wee thing
to the left?"
"Man, bailie," said the sculptor,
"d'ye no see the win's blawin' up the
street tho noo?" Tid-Bits.

BEES
i. AND
BEE KEEPING
v . r:-
HOW BEES find way to hive.
Special Sense of Direction Not Guld-
ved by Sight or Odor.
The directive sense which is pos
sessed by bees is the object of re
searches made by M. Gaston Bonnier,
of Paris, and he seems to prove that
bees possess a special sense like that
of carrier pigeons.
Bees can fly for two miles from the
hive and are then nble to return after
gathering their supply of honey.
Langstroth and others suppose that
vision comes into play and that beo3
can see for a great distance and can
also note objects on tho way so as
to find their path. Others, with Da-
dent, suppose that the bees are guid
ed by the sense of smell and that
they can smell flowers at one and a
half miles.
Tho author makes experiments to
prove that bees can return to the hive
without using either sight or odor. As
to sight, ho takes bees to a distance of
one or two miles from the hive In a
closed box. They always fly back to
tho hive when released. The same
is true when their eyes are covered,
so that sight is not essential. As re
gards odor, experiments seem to
prove that bees perceive odors at only
short distances. When a needle dip
ped in ether is brought near the head
of tho bee. It shows signs of perceiv
ing the odor, but not so when the
needle Is placed back of him or near
other organs.
Besides, when the organs of smell
(antennae) are removed entirely the
bees will return to the hive. M. Bon
nier makes the following experiment
At COO feet from the hive he places a
supply of syrup, and the bees soon
find it, proceeding to and fro to the
hive. Such bees he marks with
green colored powder. He then places
a second supply of syrup at the same
distance from the hive but spaced
at twenty feet from tho former. Oth
er bees are now engaged in the to
and fro movement to this point, but
these are not the same individuals as
the green marked bees, who are still
working on the first supply, and he
marks these in red.
Wo thus have two distinct sets of
bees, and wo see that they can distin
guish two directions which form a
very acute angle. We seem to have
here a special directive sense which
does not reside in the antennae but
probably in the cedebroid ganglia.
Other facts may be cited in evidence
of the directive sense of bees.
Timely Bee Topics.
A warm, quiet spring day is the
time to begin looking over the hives
to find how the bees wintered, and to
clip your queen while there are but
bees to Interfere with finding her, or
to make arrangements to hatch a
queen if you find one missing.
Right here, writes Dr. A. F. Bon
ney, I wish to urge the necessity of
taking brood for hatching a queen
from your colony which gave tho best
yield of honey, no matter whether
that colony be pure Italian or "hy
brid," for it Is honey you are after,
and size, color, and gentleness are sec
ondary considerations.
There is a deal of nonsense written
about clipping queens, and I cannot
Imagine why it is done, surely not
from ignorance on the part of the
writers. All fear of injuring Her
Ladyship may be avoided If one will
simply seize one wing, vhen she will
turn oh your finger, clasp it with all
of her six little feet and lie still until
you have clipped the free wing. This
avoids tho danger of amputating a
leg, or of hurting her by pressing too
hard on her body.
With the weak colonies strength
ened if necessary, supplied with food
if they are short, and queens replaced
there will be nothing more to do un
til May, other than getting hives,
supers and frames In first class shape.
The less the bees are bothered at this
critical time In their economy the
better.
Not Sufficient.
Although the sun is very good In
fact, better than the water process in
many instances yet it Is not suffi
cient if a prime article Is wanted,
Very old combs will decidedly not do
for the sun extractor. We have again
tried them, with poor results, for too
much of the wax flows into the resi
due. The only paying method of melt
ing these Is by the water process.
Queen Bees.
It is said that bees usually super
sede their queens before they are too
old for service; and when an apiary
Is once stocked with a good
grade of queens the bees can, as a
rule, be depended upon to supersede
their queens at tho proper time.
A Test.
When pure beeswax Is molted in a
smooth, flat bottomed, shallow vessel
and allowed to congeal the wax In
variably shrinks away from the sides
of tho vessL Allied products will not
do this.
Bleached Beeswax.
Beeswax that has been thoroughly
bleached loses Its pleasant smell and
assumes the disagreeable odor of can
dles.
What 8tarts Robbing.
When feeding the bees be careful
and not spill any of the sweets about
the apiary, for robbing 1 often started
In this way.
