ANCIENT MAN
HAD BIG BRAIN
Skull Unearthed In England
Indicates as Much.
IT WAS BURIED AGES AGO.
Charred Wood, Worked Flint and
Bones of Animals Found With tho
Skeleton May Be Relics of the Late
Pleistocene Period Teeth Aro Very
Much Worn.
The discovery of a prehistoric hu
man skeleton In England may throw
much light on n very obscure period
In tho formation of tho world aDd the
development of civilization. Tho skel
eton wus found near the village of
Hulling, on the west bank of the Med
way. How it was unearthed and
what value It may have in tho solution
of certain problems was explained re
cently nt a meeting of tho fellows of
the Itoynl Anthropological institute.
The Importance of the discovery lies
not in the actual light It throws on tho
transition stage from the paleolithic
to tho neolithic periods, but in tho as
surance it gives to archaeologists that
material still exists from which tho
history of this long past period can be
reconstructed.
Tho skeleton was found in the course
of excavation work. It lay in a
stratum of brick earth, with four over
laying strata, tho lines of which were
unbroken and undisturbed. It was
evident that iho four upper strata had
been formed j-iueo tho human remains
were deposited.
Experts Interestod.
Subsequent discoveries threw light
on tho probable period at which the
burial was made. They included char
red wood, bones and a number of work
ed flints.
Experts examined the flints, which
belonged to an Indeterminate class oc
curring both in late paleolithic and
early neolithic times. Animal hones
that were found aro assigned to the
same date.
One expert expressed tho opinion
that tho brick earth in which the skele
ton was found belongs to a late pleisto
cene formation. In the corresponding
terrace on the opposite side of tho val
ley tho remains of pleistocene animals
occur, and it may be inferred that the
brick earth In which the skeleton was
found Is of like age.
Very little is known of the English
people at this transitional period. The
Tilbury remains, which were found in
18S3 at a depth of thirty-four feet,
were usually regarded as tho solitary
representative of the Englishmen of
the period.
The brick earths nt nailing are con
siderably older than the formations at
Tilbury. Professor Keith has found,
however, close resemblanco between
the nailing and the Tilbury, men. Both
were strongly built, small men about
five feet four inches in staturo.
Head Well Formed.
Tho Hailing man had a brain capac
ity little above the modern average for
such a head. The head is well formed,
with no traces of tho great overhang
ing brow ridges which characterize the
Neanderthal skull.
As was the case with the Tilbury
skull, tho teeth of tho Hailing mnn aro
much worn. Most of the molar teeth
were lost prematurely through disease.
Tho disease, however, was not that
which affects the teeth of modern civ
ilized races namely, caries but nb
scesses formed at tho roots as a result
of overwear of tho teeth, with expo
sure of tho pulp cavities.
NEW WIRELESS' TELEPHONE.
Scientist Explains How He Sent Mes
sage Without Wires.
Professor Vannl of the Rome Wire
less institute, who recently telephoned
by wireless from Homo to Tripoli, has
given the details of how no was able to
send a telephone messago across the
Mediterranean Fen, n distance of near-
1 r- rr ! t
Professor Vannl said in his expert-
idea of which was given him by Chi
chester Bell, Alexander Graham Bell's
."brother. With this and Moretti gener

less station heard him with perfect dis

Ho also told how as an Interesting
experiment ho placed tho horn of a
talking machine near tho liquid micro
phono and tunes and songs played by
tho instrument wcro heard clearly.

Foster's Weather Bulletin
Copyrighted 1913 B W. T. FOSTER
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 12.
We are not expecting such danger
ous storms as those of recent months
hut it is advisable to use care and
not go into unprotected places while
the storm due on May 24 is passing.
'Our danger signals will hang out
from May 20 to 31 and our readers
may expect the most severe storms
to occur close in front of the warm
waves and not far from the places
and dates noted for tho disturbance
dates.
Shortage of Rainfall.
Indications favorable to a general
shortage of rainfall and some indi
cations of damage to crops by
drought. That is expected to be the
general condition but some places,
on account of the sovero storms will
get too much rain. The middle
south-eastern states will have some
heavy local rains and similar condi
tions may ho expected in parts of
Pennsylvania, New York, the Now
England states and the eastern
provinces. But largo sections be
tween meridian So and tho Rockies
will bo too dry for good of growing
crops.
Oats Crop to Sutter.
Much will depend on amount of
moisture in the soli middle of April.
Whero tho soil was well wet at that
time tho crops may come through
the drought in good shape. Oats will
probably suffer more than other
crops. ,
Every Farmer Should Rend Tills.
Prof. Hopkins of the University of
Illinois, severely attacks two errors
made by tho U. S. Agricultural De
partment in the past few years. He
says that the optimistic secretary
permitted tho erroneous statement to
tho effect that farm soils never wear
out and that tho estimates of crop
productions wero uniformly extrava
gant. These bulletins have fre
quently stated that tho government
reports of the crops over-estimated
tho productions. The effect of such
over-estimates is to enable the big
speculators to buy at low prices and
of course tho farmers and planters
aro the losers. This matter should
bo looked Into and the government
reports more carefully made. For
a scientific department to declare
that farm soils do not wear out Is so
redlculous that wo can find no ex
cuse for It.

CONSERVED AX ESTATE.
Tho Late Judge Halscy Guarded
Property of Convicted Man for
Thirty Years.
Michael Rellly of Falrviow, who
was recently discharged from tho
asylum for criminal insane at Far
view after being confined for thirty
years, finds himself in comparatively
independent circumstances owing to
the honesty and careful management
of his estate by the late Judge G. L.
Halsey.
Rellly was a hotel keeper at Fair
view and owned a house known as
tho Berkery Hotel. About thirty
years ago he was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to eight
years In jail for shooting a man
named Thomas May. Before his
sentence terminated he became in
sane and has been in confinement
until recently, when Dr. Fltzsim
mons, superintendent of the new
hospital at Farvlew, decided tho man
was cured and discharged him.
After his trial and conviction Mr.
Rellly had no money and there was
some debt on his hotel property,
which at that time was worth about
?1,000. The late Judge G. L. Hal
sey was counsel for the defendant
and looked after his property until
Reilly lost his mind and then was
appointed a committeo of his estate.
After Mr. Reilly was released the
other day he came to this city to
look up the late Judge Harding and
tho late Judgo Halsey. He learned
that both were dead and was referred
to Attorney John L. Halsey, a son
of Judgo Halsey. The man explain
ed tho case about tho property and
said ho believed Judge Halscy had a
fow hundred dollars for him from the
old property at Fairview.
To tho great surprise of Mr.
Reilly he was told that the lato
Judgo Halsey had $2,141.85 In tho
bank to his account, rent of the
property that had been placed at In
terest for him and further, that the
hotel property was still in his name
and free of debt. It is now worth
about ?1,800, having been repainted
several times, shingled and repaired.
So that instead of a couple of hun
dred dollars Mr. Reilly finds himself
the owner of the property and a nice
bank account, sufficient to keep him
in comfortable circumstances for the
remainder of his life.
The caro of the property of the
unfortunate man was undertaken by
tho lato Judge Halsey without any
reward and reveals his strict hones
ty, carefulness and judgment In pro
tecting the interests of his former
client- for so many years. Wllkes

CUKES MMPIiES EASILY.
Slmplo Remedy Thnt Clears Skin
Quickly of All Eruptions.
For several weoks past Poll, the
druggest, has done a big business in
selling Hokara, the skin healer that
has won so many friends In Hones
dale. It has been found to heal not only
all minor skin troubles, such as pim
ples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes, itching
feet, piles, etc., but also the worst
sores, ulcers, or oven chronic
eczema and salt rheum. There has
yet to be found any form of wound
or disease affecting tho skin or mu
cous membrane that Hokara does not
help, and its action Is so quick that
thoso who try it are simply delight
ed with it right from the start.
In spite of its unusual curativo
powers, the price is trifling. To con
vince every ono of its merits, Mr.
Pell will sell a liberal sized jar for
25c. And remember that if you do
not think it does what it claims, you
get your money back. You certain
ly can afford to try It on this plan.

JUDGE FULLER.
It Is definitely reported at Harris
burg that the committeo that has
been considering the advisability of
impeaching Judgo Harry A. Fuller,
of Luzerne county, has decided to
completely exonerate him. They
have carefully gone over tho charges
against him and the evidence pre
sented to substantiate them, and now
declare them Insufficient. Tho fact
that these charges were brought by
a bitter personal enemy of the judgo
caused the legislators to scan them
with a show of suspicion which they
considered justified by the facts. At
ono time, it is said, tho committee
contemplated censuring the attorney
who brought the charges, but later
It was deemed best to simply make a
report exonerating tho judge.
Judge Fuller has always stood well
In his homo community. Ho is re
garded as a brilliant lawyer, of un
impeachable Integrity, who would not
be guilty oi intentional wrong doing.
It has been noticeable from the first
that his friends and neighbors have
always considered tho charges
brought against him as flimsy, un
just and unfair and an unwarranted
reflection on his public services.
Tho incident serves to call atten
tion to tho fact that tho laws and
precedents in this state mako it too
easy for a slnglo Individual to becin
Impeachment proceedings against
men on tho bench. They aro entitled
to greater protection from tho on
slaught of adversaries or cranks. It
is only fair to say that tho charges
against Judgo Fuller havo never ris
en to tho dignity that ought to as
sumo before tho reputation and faith
fulness of a jurist aro publicly as
sailed, thus, in a way, tending to dis
credit him In his own community
as well as before the pcoplo of tho
entire state. Tribune-Republican

Have a Bell Telephone"
To be without a Bell Telephone is to be woefully
handicapped. To have no Bell Telephone in the home
is to close the door to friends; in business, to bar the
door to opportunity.
The words: "See if they're in the telephone book,"
have become as universal as the Bell Telephone itself
and to be thus sought and found is to your ad
vantage and decided gain.
The cost of the service is negligibly low when you
consider what you may do, where you may go, by
simply lifting your telephone receiver.
