Often caustic in criticism of its chief executive, sometimes careless and bitter in de- nunciation in life, it is characteristic of the lofty spirit of the American people that in death there is poured out an honest and heartfelt grief, there is given a recogniti on due the sacrifice made in their behalf; harshness is stilled~and ippreciation is shown.

GONE Two bone harpoons, notched like saws, were lost 20,000 years ago in an English peat bog which preserved them until} discovered recently. These harpoons: belonged ,to Maglemose men who WALKED from Denmark to England. In those days—ac- cording to the anthropologicalijournal, Man—the North Sea was dry.
