Aniline inks are especially uundlesirable tfro the t ease with which they may be washed re away. b S-A recent estimate of the date of the neolithic period by Mr. Sidney I3. J. Skertehly, an English scientist, furnish I es a good illustration of one of the pro cesses by which the ages of the diflereut epochs in the existence of mankind are hypothetically determined. It is known that during a long period prior to his toric times the implements of the human race were made solely of stone. These relies, with the bones of prehistoric men and contemporary animals, are now found covered by the earthly deposits of ages. The earlier forms of stone imple ments were very roughly fashioned, while at a much later date they were well formed ai.d polished. From these facts the stone age is considered in two distinct periods-the poleolithic (old stone) and the neolithic (new stone.) The latter period, although of much shorter duration than the former, is regarded with greater interest on ac count of its nearer approach to historic times. It is the probable date of this period which Mr. Skertchly discusses. The European district of the Fenland occupies an area of thirteen hundred square miles bordering the great bay of the Wash. The inland portion consists of peat, buried in which are found neolithic implements. Between the peat and the sea a wide stretch of silt land has been gradually deposited by the waves. As this land has been built up, from the time of the Roman occupation at least, banks have been erected to re claim the newly-formed ground. The dates of these banks are known, and thus very accurate estimates can be made of the rate at which the deposition is going on in different parts. The maximum rate is 59 feet per annum. The geological evidence shows that, as the silting went on and the area became converted into land, peat grew and gradually spread over the land. In the course of time, however, the climate be came unfitted for the growth of peat, which ceased to form. Hence, a wide stretch borders the Waab, on which no peat ever existed. From the Roman banks to the sea is a distance of four miles, for the accumulation of which 1700 years have been required. Between these banks and the peat lie twelve miles of silt land, which at the same rate of formation would be accumulated in 5100 years. Adding these numbers 1 together gives 6800 years as the least possible age of the newest peat, by which the neolithic implements are cov ered. Two Swiss estimates have been made from different dita, each 'confirm ing this result. Further evidence leads Mr. Skertchly to conclude that thle com mencement ot the neolithic era in Eng land must ,dato- back 10,000 years and perhaps 20,000.
