Or. Ranke, of the German Anthropo

describe the physical characteristics of
■the earliest men, as ascertained from
the examination of prehistoric graves.
, They were of a yellowish color, he
said, and had coarse hair. Their heads
were peculiarly shaped, the part of the
Skull which contains the brain being

BATTLE IN SCHOOLROOM.
Rival Hoiti of Ant* Fore* T«ach«r and
Scholars to Incontinently Flee*
A missionary who Is in charge of tha
Catholic school at Myala.on Lake Tan
ganyika, Africa, tells of an extraordi
nary battle between ants in his school
room,which the pupils and their teach
er were compelled to abandon in haste
when the Invading foe appeared on
the scene. The deserted room became
the theater of a hotly contested battle
between the ants that had their homes
in the cracks of the stone walls and
another species which advanced to the
fight from the fields. The thousands
of ants living in the wails are known
to the natives as Masumbolo. They are
very large and black, and as it is al
most impossible to get rid of them,
and they have the excellent quality of
letting human beings alone, little at
tention is paid to them. The invading
ants were not more than a third as
large as the other species. They are
called Slafou and are nomads and
thieves by nature. When they discov
ered the home of the peaceful black in
sects they felt certain that a rich booty
of larvae awaited them and lost no
time in advancing to the attack. Their
squadrons moved forward in close
flies. They clambered up the doorsteps
and into the room,moving very rapidly
and began the fiercest sort of an at
tack upon the enemy, whom they sur
prised at home, engaged in their
peaceful occupations. Though the
Masumbolo are so much larger than
their fierce little enemies, they could
not stand against these formidable
aggressors, who are most effectively
armed with the sharpest and hottest of
pincers. So the attacked insects made
scarcely any resistance, but gathered
up as much of their larvae as’ they
could carry and fled at the top of
their speed. They fairly carpeted the
floor as they moved toward the door3,
while their conquerors lost no time in
further attack upon the unresisting
fugitives, hut began to pillage the city
that had been so suddenly abandoned.
A few minutes later, however, the Sla
fou paid very dearly for the raid they
had made. Dozens of the schoolchil
dren applied wisps of burning straw
to the cracks which the conquering
nnts had entered and burned them at
the very place of their victory.
STILT DANCING.
lho UIiIucko Celebrate Foltloh Worship
with Quadrilles on Clothes Props.
The Chinese, in the interior dis-
tricts, where fetichism is still the pre
vailing religion, celebrate all their fes
tival days by dancing on stilts. The
entire population, from the child just
able to toddle to the gray-haired gran’-
father,mount on long poles and parade
around the town, shouting, singing
and throwing flowers. No one can be
excused, as the unbelievers are merci
lessly punished. Some French .and
English tourists recently came upon a
crowd of this kind near the village of
Newchwang, in the extreme south
western portion of the empire. Their
arrival was unexpected by the Orien
tals, who took it as very rude on the
part of the Europeans to intrude on
such a holy day. A turbulent mob of
perhaps 500 rushed on the Caucasians,
who numbered but a score, to do them
mischief. It was impossible to distin
guish sexes, as all wore rude mask3
made of straw mats. So the travelers
quietly knocked the sticks from un
der a few dozen of the foremost, and,
pouncing on them as they plumped to
the ground, administered a sound
beating. The rest finally made off.
Had the Celestials beon on foot, the
affair might have resulted seriously.
As it was, by the time the majority
could get their feet untied from the
awkward stilts, the unsanettfled in
truders were far away.

What Virginia’s Former Governor Said of
this Famous North Carotin Crag.
In the midst of one of bla impas
sioned speeches years ago, daring the
“Know Nothing” campaign, the late
Henry A. Wise, formerly Governor of
Virginia, and perhaps its most elo
quent orator, stretched himself to hia
fall height and exclaimed: “Thoae
mountains which lift their haoda to
milk the clonds. ” The old ehap waa
without doubt referring to Chimney
Rook. His . index finger was point
ing directly at Chimney Book.
Henry A. Wise is Dead.

GUTTA-PERCHA SCARCE.
Difficult to Get KnonRti for a Paolflo
Cable.
In connection with the Pacific cable
a very interesting question arises, says
the Engineering Magazine. From
where is the gutta-percha for this gi
gantic cable to come? Every whisper
of the construction of a transpacific
line sends the gutta-percha market at
Singapore up by leaps and bounds. The
ruling price of the gum is the highest
that has ever obtained. It Is stated,
on what authority it is hard to say,
that the visible supply of gutta-percha
is insufficient for the task, and that It
this cable is laid It will be the last—the
last with a gutta-percha insulation at
least.
While this pessimism on the part of
the gutta-percha producers savora
somewhat of a desire to stiffen the
market, there Is yet a sufficiently rea
sonable foundation for It In the wanton
destruction of the gutta-percha forests.
It will be Interesting to see the out
come of the situation. If the United
States acquires an island In the Caro
lines the building of the cable Una
seems possible, though expensive. It
they,do not find a landing place the
operation of the cable seems to require
a prohibitively costly plant. And
meanwhile there Is the question of the
disappearing gutta-percha'tree.
