What Future May Bring.
t It is pointed out here that in the

d-.way to avoid such friction is to see
tephat between the United States and the

he that instead o f Mr. Taft coming to
of Rome with the credentials of an extra
ordinary envoy, and being therefore in
ve a position to deal directly with Cardi
of nal Rampolla, who represented the
n- pope, negotiations had gone through the
n- same channels adopted to arrange Mr.
Mt Roosevelt's audience. There is no
doubt, it is added that if on tho one
side there had then been the American
ambasador accredited* to the Quirinal
and on the other the rector of the
American college, notwithstanding the
ability of Ambassador Meyer and the
tact and prduenee of Bishop Thomas
Kennedy, the whole thing might have i
been a failure.
Present Disadvantages.
In tho case of Mr. Roosevelt, Am
bassador Leishman, with all his good
will, could, considering his official po
tion at the Quirinal, do little to smooth
out things. Indeed his participation in
the affair eould not help arousing the
distrust of the Vatican. On the other
side Bishop Kennedy, as an ecclesias
tic and subordinate of Cardinal Merry
del Vai, could have neither the inde
pendence nor the authority of a lay
mau and diplomat.
If the United States had had a rep

the conditions required by the Vatican
for the audience were fulfilled without
their taking the character of imposi

NEW RACE ORIG N
THEORY ADVANCED
Bones Found In Prehistoric
Skeleton -Prove There W?re
Two Species of Humans,
Paris, April 23. —The study of the
prehistoric skeleton discovered last fall
in the French department of Dordogne
has produced an interesting theory con
cerning the primitive races of Europe
and, their origin. It may be recalled
that this the first absolutely perfeci
skeleton of a man from the older stoni
age was named Homo anrignacensis
hauseri. after Prof. Hauser, who first
located it in its blocked up eave.
Prof. Klaatseh of Breslau found that
it represented an entirely different race
from the famous Ncanderethal nien and
all other known primitive men. Th,
Aurignac race was slight and graceful,
had very straight bom - and propor
' tions which indicate that dexterity had
। already to some extent replaced brute
force. He now announces that the find

a central European point, blended to
getner.
The modern population of Southern
Europe, Prof. Klaatseh says, is descend
ed from this mixture. On the other
hand, the Germanic peoples sprang di
rectly from the Aurignac races. The
Neanderthal men came first from
Africa with nn African fauna. The
negroid races, tho gorilla and chimpan
zee, are remote relatives of this race.
The Aurignac race probably came
from Asia, and the orang-outang is
their nearest monkey relative. Further
back both races originated in the van
ished continent of Lemuria, which lay
between Africa, Asia, and Australia.
They arrived in Europe by different
paths.
