The Welsh miners lost S.1.7.VI.000 in wages and spent tHiKi.wn in strike, pay from the union fund duritiK the miners' strike, while the dockers' strike, cost thooe men ut least S.;wi.wo. In tho disputes which commenced in Hill, some B2,(i(l work jieoplo wore involved, which was Hid highest number in the pvriod lietween 1WJ3 nnd HU V. The main groups uffected (were tho seumen who went out in June. This was rapidly followed by a series of btrikes of dock workmen, railroad men and nthem emnloViul in tbn fmna. port trade until thn end of August and a locKoui in i'ceinisr in mo weuving industry in Iwrncashirn.

Tho men have now realized that the women are in earnest Thn ' dows in the Government offices wero broken liecausu of tho indiscretion or the luxation paid. Now that their pockets are being touched and it comes home to the men when their business Is so inter fered with, they will force, tho Govern ment to end such a state of things, which can only be done by giving tho voto to women. i H.

Paris .Singer, u weulth y American who recently purchased tho Hotel Bellerun property for tho purpose of transforming it Into a research Institution something like tho HockefeUer Institute in New ork, is now experiencing some or the diflicul- ties which beset a man who wishes to bo a benefactor to his generation.

SKULL OF PREHISTORIC MAN. Jiiiliortnnt Hrllc Foil yd n Sunn Kxcllm Sciential!, London, Nov. 29. One of the most Important prehistoric finds of our time and one which Is causing great exulle ment among scientists hus been mado in Sussex. A few weeks ago men quarrying lu a deep gravel pit turned up a human skull. It was In fragments, but there was enough of It for the experts to form a conclusive judgment, It turns out to be the skull of n paleolithic man nnd Is by fur tho earliest truce of inunklud that hus yet been founUnT Hitglund. It dates certainly from tho beginning of the Plelstocone period. It was found In association with the bones of ouc of the most ancient types of elephant. stratum In which It lay was the beach ot a very old river bed. There la uo doubt at Ml of lta authen ticity. The skull belongs roughly to the same age as tho fumous Heidelberg skull nnd Is quite ua early us anything which has been found In Eurofia. The skltll resembles the Neanderthal specimen, but belongs to a much lower and more primitive type of mankind even than thut. Tho experts have been able to eomo to a dellnlto Judgment aa to the kind of bruin once housed in these amazing bones. It wan cerlulmy a very different brain from that pos sessed by any living race, J The eporis will not venture an opiu , Ion ns to Ihe date of the Sussex man. but most probably he lived millions of I cut s ago. i
