Three Races That Have Left Traces of Their Customs Behind Them. , Science has proofs of the existence ,of several prehistoric races, but only I three of these have left traces of their customs behind them. These are Ho mo Europeus, Homo Eurafricus and i Homo Eurasicus. The first race is ex i tinct. , Its representative man resem bled, the remains of Neanderthal. His forehead was low and retreating and his eyebrows beetled. ; Probably the second race Journeyed to .Europe from the north of Africa "Their traces have been found on the Thames, in Moravia, and in caves of different regions. . Sergy, a close student of human , origins, traces the second race to the paleolithic culture of the quaternery epoch in the south of France. In that 'culture analogies with Mycenaean aud prehistoric Egyptian civilization are found. Some families of the race may bare been inspired by their adventur ous and artistic instincts to wander onward out of their own land to a land specially suited to the development of their dreams of something that they had never been able to produce in their own country. The geographical conditions, the climate and the natural beauty of the land they settled In may hare allnred them and encouraged them to develop their rude arts. The third race. Homo Eurasicus, came into Europe from western Asia, and its members were the ancestors of the modern European peoples. Harper's. Does Any One Really Care? If the citizens want to get an accurate idea of Just how this city stands as . business they ought to take up the mayor's proposal to go to council next Monday night when the question will be put up for discus sion. We think it more important thit the taxpayers know the exact state of affairs in this city than that any particular action shall be taken. Just at present the city is eating up the City Light Plant to pay for running the government of the city. We all of us know in advance what will probably happen at this council meeting. Mayor Zimmerman will take the position that the tax should not be raised. He will then tell the councilmen that none of the improvements in their wards can go through unless the city has money. This money must come from some place Shall it be taxes which are unpopular or shall it be done by not paying for the street lighting? To shove this on the light plant consumers even to the point of kill ing the goose that is laying this golden egg is the easiest thing in the world to do. "Now, gentlemen what are you going to do about this?" What are the tax payers of Richmond going to do about it? What in fact do they know abtut it? It is time that they did go down to this council meeting and get an idea. If the council chamber is full of citizens who are users of the city current, gentlemen who have made successes of their, own business, men who are angry at their councilmen for not gaining them improvements for their particular ward it may be that they will come to a conclusion. We have no idea as to what that conclusion is to be but we know what it has been in at least one otler city. The city of Staunton, Virginia, found itself getting yearly poorer while the tax rate seemed plenty high enough. Conditions went from bad to worse. The city departments were apparently a bottomless pit, the improvements went on right along but the town never got Improved. The situation is by no means so bad here but it is heading that way, so that citizens may be interested in knowing that the business men of the town became interested, they sized up the situation and went to the legislature and obtained the right to make their own charter, The city of Staunton is now in the hands of a man called a city man ager. He Is an engineer from the maintenance of way department. He now runs the city of Staunton much as a railroad is managed. Almost all the problems which confront him are engineering prob lems. The city is recovering rapidy. If Harrington Emerson, the efficiency engineer, were to be hired by the city of Richmond to point out where the money of this city is going we have an idea that the city officials themselves would be amazed at how much could be saved. The citizens would also be amazed as to how the laws of the state of Indiana actually force waste on us. If the conclusion is that the citizens shall come forward and without heat or passion set themselves to the task of straightening things out then this meeting to which Dr. Zimmerman has invited the citizens will reflect credit on the city administration and the citizens. Otherwise we had better Just let things go along as Dr. Zimmer man has planned them and simply resign ourselves to any outcome with the thought that we really don't care anyway. The Black of the Eye. The invariable blackness of the pupil of the eye was a puzzle to scientific men until Professor Helmholtz showed it to be the necessary effect of refrac tion. Sufficient rays are reflected from the bottom of the eye to render visible the parts there situated, but since these reflected rays in emerging from the eye must traverse the same ocula media through which they passed in entering the eye it is evident that they must undergo the same refraction .which they underwent ns entering rays, only in an opposite direction. The re sult of this is that the paths of the emerging and entering, rays coincide, and the former will therefore return to the source whence as incidental rays they originally started. There is noth ing in the pupil to reflect light in fact, it resembles a window looking into a dark room. Cleanliness and durability are claim ed for a new chicken coop that is stamped out of sheet metal. The Gallon. The gallon measure in Canada differs quite materially from the gallon in the United States. There the gallon meas ure contains exactly ten pounds of dis tilled water, here the gallon contains only S.3389 pounds. Milk being heav ier than water, a Canadian gallon of snilk will weigh 10.31 pounds. Where as in the United States the weight will be 8.6 pounds. A Shock. "Now. Henry.'' she began with a set Jaw.

And the Peculiar Coincidence by Which It Was Solved. Some years ago a publishing house was preparing to issue a new edition of the writings of Tboreau. wrltee Charles S. Olcott in Art and Progress. The head of the house and a member of nls staff were in consultation about the method of illustration. It was agreed that the pictures must be true to nature, but how to get them was the problem. Artists who do book il lustrating could not be expected to go into the woods and make pictures which would In any way assist the text to reveal nature as Thoreau saw it. Photographs would be admirable, but where was the professional photog rapher to be founcWjvho would under take to go into TWireau's country in sunshine and rain, in summer and win ter, to catch all the phases of nature which Thoreau recorded in his "Jour nal r While the two men pondered a caller sat In the outer office with a large port folio under his arm. Five years before he had read Thoreau's "Journal" aud had taken up his residence in Concord that he might visit the scenes there described. In all seasons and all kinds of weather he had wandered through the woods and over the fields with his camera. Passionately fond of na ture, he was no less devoted to art. To him photography was a pastime. It was not his profession. For the pure love of nature and of art and with no thought of pecuniary gain he had accomplished the very feat which the two business men bad thought so difficult, and by a curious coincidence he appeared at the office to exhibit the result of his work at the precise moment when its desirability was be ing discussed. "During his boyhood Goethe shrank from the boys who were his school fel lows, as he found most of them very rough. One day a few of the boys cut twigs from a broom and beat his bare calves. As his father had strictly for bidden disturbance during school hours, he bore it stoically until the hour struck, and then he fell on the boys with terrific rage." Goethe, by Joseph McCabe.

Tomorrow's joint session of the National Boss-bund and the National Association for the Protection of Privilege Is expected to bring together at the Hotel Gilded- Food an imposing array of prominent American magnates and bosses. The call for the meeting was addressed to all holders of capitalized public fran chises, owners of all kinds of unearn ed increments, contractors for public work who enjoyed inside information as to bids or specifications, tariff and tax assessment beneficiaries, men hav ing pull with public officers, etc. The purpose of the meeting is stat ed in the invitations of the Privilege association, as follows "The past few years have witness ed for the first time certain signs of weakness in the bulwarks of various kinds of Privilege. It is becoming in creasingly difficult to find political bosses who are able to deliver the goods, and in some cities where the so-called new-fangled Commission plan is in vogue, the phenomenon of boss Ism has apparently become practically extinct, leaving us no option but to at tempt to do business direct with the responsible public officials and the people. "Any decline in the institution of bossism must be combatted vigorously and valiantly by Privilege and any dif ferent type o fgovernment which Is so un-American as to omit to provide great and vital functions to be per formed by private political amchinery must be viewed with alarm lest the government of Lincoln and Washing ton perish from the earth. "It would be a deplorable thing if capital seeking lucrative investment in a given town should find there no ruling class of politicians to deal with and this great and glorious republic spreading from the Atlantic to the Pa cific and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf must not be permitted to come to such a pass. "Therefore, all who have invested their own funds and those of needy widows and orphans in cinches, deals, inside games, pulls, grafts, etc., are in vited to gather under the auspices of the N. A. P. P. for a private confi dential and belowboard joint confer ence with our agents, the bosses and politicians, who will be summoned through their own underground al liance. The National Boss-bund, in or der that we may, "First demand of the bosses the reasons for the increasing cost of pro tecting Privilege against oppression. "Second demand of them the rea sons for the increasing Inefficiency of their service. "Third devise adequate means of preserving the power of the ruling class (the politicians) and of keeping the masses out of politics. "Fourth devise methods of divid ing and weakening the governments of states and cities and keeping them in a disjointed and ineffective condi tion. "Fifth devise methods of keeping the business of citizenship on ot the learned professions and at least as complicated and as difficult as It is at present, in order that the people may continue to abstain from active poli tics and leave our friends, the expert politicians, in possession of the field. "Sixth devise methods of confusing the lines of responsibility in govern ment and keeping politics as much of a blind ambush as possible in order that the tragedy of the rich bene ficiaries of graft doing time in Jail like common felons may not again be seefc under the starry banner of American freedom." The summons has evidently met with a great response for the palatial lobbies ot the Gilded-Food Hotel are filled with the. early comers of thS throng that will . crowd the ballroom when Chairman Bonded ater taps his gold gavel tomorrow. The groups in the parlors and corri dors exhibit curious contrasts of per sonel, for men of evident wealth, cor pulent, gold-chained and of obvious re spectability, are seen talking sharply In the most Intimate terms with poorly clad, hungry-looking politicians. The latter are evidently under fire and are sullen and disheartened. It was in the manufacture of tex tiles that woman first appeared la industry outside of the home.
