Much favorable comment is beard upo: their neat appearance, their coziness, comfort, convenience and general -efficiency. Their safety as a means of street transportation seems to appeal to jhe people in general, since pas- sengers enter and leave the busses at the sidewalks, thus eliminating any Eoeaality of ——— due to passing traffic, The busses brightly illuminated at night give the streets a flash of life that is pleasing to local people and @ source of frequent compliment from visitors. The new busses being somewhat smaller that the first four put in service are found to be amply sufficient for traffic except at rush hours on some of the lines, at which time the big ones are brought into use. The smaller busses handle nicely, stop and start quickly, and really make bet- ter time than did the old trolley car. The idea of using busses for street trahspori- ation has proven quite an innovation everywhere. The adoption of this- modern‘service in any city is considered a progressive step along modern lines, and is meeting with the general approval of the peo- | ple wherever it is ‘naugerated. | There’ could be no more convincing evidence that Key West is absolutely up-to-date in every way than the fact that a modern and complete bus serv- ice has entirely replaced the old trolley car*which is now so rapidly becoming obsolete. EARLIEST KNOWN MEN Recent discussions concerning the evolution of man has awakened an increased and growing interest in our early ‘ancestors, “While the remains of several primitive specimens have been unearthed in comparatively recent years, the search for addi- tional-types is going forward in many parts of the world. » ‘ : What is believed to be the oldest remains of a man-like being so far brought to light are ‘those of the Java man, discovered in 1891. This creature was ape-like, but had greater brain capacity and was of more human deyelopment than any known ape. He is known to scientists as Pithecanthropus erectus and lived about 600,000 years ago, Next is the Heidelberg man, whose: jaw was ape-like, but with truly human teeth, found in’ Ger- many in 1907 under-79 feet of sand, mingled with |' the remains of now extinct’ mammals. of aad The third is the Piltdown man Sand ‘in Sus- also combines cherac- matt. This specimen prob- ably lived 150,000 years ago. : Next in order is the Neanderthal race, repre- sented by numerous remains, including complete skeletons, discovered in various parts of Europe and Asia since 1856. These were more ape-like than any race | ‘of men existing today, but were nevertheless fairy passable. human. beings, and lived about 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. Finally, perhays 60,000 or more years ago, there began to appear several races of true men, the Cro Magnon, Grimaldi, Aurignacian and Brunn races, of whom many well-preserved skeletons have been discovered during the last sixty years. The Cro Magnons were perhaps the finest physical speci- mens who ever lived, the men ranging from five feet ten and a half inches to six feet four and a half inches in height. i There are few subjects more fascinating than that of primitive man, and any. serious-minded per- son will be well repaid for the time, spent in study- ing it. THE OTHER SIDE Perhaps the greatest bar to the acquirement of real knowledge is the refusal of the average per- aon to look upon “the other side” of a question, particularly one which involves a new idea. We form certain notions regarding people and things, and having done 80 we seek for arguments to back up those notions. We have more concern that we shall vindicate our own ideas than that we shall arrive at the truth about them. Thus we build a Chinese walk about our own intellects and thereby oftener than not shut cut | the real truth, or at least an important part of it. For this reason every new idea; however bene- ficient, that arises in the world literally has to fight for its life. It was hard to convince people that the earth is a sphere, that the blood circulates, that vaccination prevents smallpox, that yellow fe- ver ia only communicated by mosquitoes. These | and innumerable other facts now accepted by all | civilized people were bitterly combatted by the ig- norant, superstitious and nafrow-minded niajority. Tt would seem that in the light of the world’s edvancement in knowledge men would be willing to study both sides, or all sides, of every important question, yet few of them do. Hence millions live and die in appalling ignorance, through their orn deliberate choice.
