The Antiquity of Man.
In his recent lecture in Washington,
Professor Penk said that it has been
known for quite a long time that in
western Europe man existed during the
glacial epoch. We now know that the
great ice age consisted of different gla.
offal times separated by interglacial
times. In glacial times the snow -line
dropped 3,000 or 4,000 feet below its
present level in the Alps, whereas in in-
terglacial times it lay about 1,000 feet
higher than at present. Thus the tem-
perature seems to have been higher in
the interglacial periods than it is now.
There is abundant evidence, says Pro
feasor Penk, that man existed during
the beginning of the last glacial epoch.
There is some reason for thinking that
at tenet 20,000 years have elapsed since
the last glaciation, and that the man
whose jaw -bone was recently found
near Heidelberg lived 200,000 years
ago.

A Fitting Title for the Prize Last of
the Canadian National Exhibition.
The prize list of the Oanadian
National Exhibition is now being distri-
buted, and, as usual, it contains hand-
some premiums for everything Can.
adians make, or grow, or mine. The
Exhibition this year, Which begins
August 28th and closes September 13th,
thus giving two full weeks open to the
public, promises to be on a more
magnificent scale than ever before, and
the prize list is ample evidence that the
President and Directors of Canada's
Great Fair are determined to keep it in
the van of Oanadian progress.
To mention even the features of the
different sections in limited space would
be an impossibility, Suffice it to say
that to the grand total of $50,000 in
premiums,
specials
aodfftmoepartment,and that added
oeorr

special attractions in keeping with the
greatest exhibition on the continent.
