THE ANTIQUIsTY OF 111.AN.
Prof. Matthew Flinders Petrie
Sums Up the Latest Evidence.
Prof, Matthew Flinders Petrie, in
'a lecture in London, summed up in
a few sentences of inteuse interest
the latest evidence of the antiquity
of the human race.
Antimiarians now have to deal
with Egypt alone. There is an un-
broken chain of historic record from
5000 B.C., besides actual objects
which carry history back 2,000 years
further, thus giving 9,000 years to
human history; but this is yet far
from the beginning.
There were traces which showed ,
that civilization must have Come
from another country, but where 1151
one has the slightest idea. The
earliest graves have Insures of a race
of bushmen of a type discovered sim-
ilar to those found in France and
Malta proving that the race exteed-
ed fsom Africa into Europe. Then -
there are figures of womeX1 who were
captured from still earlier races
which probably were of the palaeo-
lithic age. Beyond this there Was a
time when the climate of Egypt Was
totally different from to -day, when a
rainfall fertilized what is now a'des:-
ert, and when animals, of which all
trace has been lest,. inhabited the
country. •
Other lauds might show the age
of num to be more reinote physi-'
cal evidences but nowhere -could we
feel more„plainly. the certainty ofetha
antiquity of man than where 9,000
years' continuous remains did not
yet bring us Into the vast periods
of those climatic and geological
changes through which man had
kept up the, chain of life to the pro -
sent day.

FACTS ABOUT LIGHTNING.
Common Erfors as to Its Nature
and Destructiveness.
Without doubt lightning was the
first electrical phenomenon that was
ever observed by human beings. To
thie day it remains the least known
and least understood of natural elec-
trical manifestations, except, per--

The lightning flash is a discharge
from a cloud at a high potential re-
ference to the eartha When the at-
mosphere is chargedwith wa.ter, va-

colder upper strata Is deflected
downward, causing condensation, and
exceedingly rainute drops of water
are formed, each bearing an electric-

these into larger drops results in a
very great increment of the paten-.
devices have been constructed for
this purpose.
