Red Lamp and Bell to
Warn of Monoxide Gas
London.—A device for detecting the
presence of carbon monoxide gas such
as given off by an nutornobiie exhaust
has been placed on the British market.

German Plane Has Speed
of 1,0G0 Miles an Hour
Berlin.—A new type airplane de
signed to travel at terrific speed—pos
sibly 1,000 miles an hour—through the
rarefied atmosphere far above the
earth has been virtually finished by the
Junkers company of Germany.
The new plane for stratospheric op
eration is said to be equipped with
a crude oil Junkers engine and a her
metically sealed pilot room. The
wings have an unusually large area
for support. Test flights have been
made for some time by a famous Ger

centered on the gown. But all the

King Pats Dog, Now
He Is Sir William
Weymouth, England.—Emulating
King James 1, who knighted a loin
of beef at Houghton Towers 300
years ago, giving ‘‘sirloin’’ the name
by which it has been known ever
since, King George lias bestowed
a knighthood “on a dog.”
The animal was “Bill Bulldog,”
mascot of the battleship Nelson.
The sailors dubbed the dog “Sir
William Buildog,” after the king
had patted the animal on his head.
The Incident occurred during
King George’s inspection of fhe
home fleet.
The most ancient being known
which can be called man was discov
ered in Java. It was Imbedded in
a stratum containing fossil plants and
animals of at least a half million
years ago. This being, called I’itlie-
canthropus erectus, had a small head,
with huge ridges over the eyes. Its
teeth were much like those of today,
and it walked erect.
Next in age are the remains of 11
individuals discovered deeply buried
in a cave near I’eiping, China. These
people were much like the Java man,
hut were somewhat more advanced, j
The associated animal hones indicate j
a period only a littie later.
Near Heidelberg, in Germany, a
human jaw was found during com
mercial excavations. The stratum in
which it lay was deposited in the
second interglacial epoch, probably
250,000 years ago. The jaw is huge,
it has no chin, hut the teeth are
human.
Another find of about the same
age was made near I’iltdown, Sus
sex, England, and consists of a very
simple skull, combined with a jaw
which resembles that of a chim-
nanzoo.
