EARLY MAN IN TURKESTAN.
EXPLORERS. UNEARTH MANY NEOLITHIC RELICS.
Valuable discoveries have been made by the. rooont expedition sent by the Carnegie Institute into Eastern Tarkostan. Dispatebed primarily for the purpose of geological research; the explorere came upon a wealth of archeological remains dating back to a period compared with which the adrent of Christ is modern history.
The general tendency of the evidence accumu lated by explorer is to point to the highlands of Central Asia, and especially Eastern Tarkas tan, as the region from which many migrations. drifted over the Europe Asian continent in the earliest geological ages,
A obauce exploration of one of these made by a Russian General revealed the fact that the kargans were made up of superimposed remains of Bottioments extending from the earliest of the Neolithic sultere some 15,000 or 20,000 years before the Christian era to a copper culture which terminated about B.C. 2000.

The lowest strata revealed many mest im- porlant facts as to the beginnings of Neolithic enlture. The inhabitants lived in hunts con- structed of adobe or sun-dried bricks or wood,
elevated bove the plain to avoi and slightly the intense beat radiating from the ground at night, which rendered sleep difficult.
The inhabitants lived by hunting the wild animals of the region-the horse, the long- berpel ex, wild sheep, the bear, the gazelle, and some deer. No trace domestic tipe kinds of small de eta Nasins being throwe

This first ude primitive settlement, which from the depth of the deposits of debris mast havo lested over 1,000 years, was finally doutrog ed by fire and the site for a town abandoned.
A second settlecient was found some considerable period later, and here we get evidence of much progress in eitilisation. The en occapants had domesticated the or, long and short rand sheep, the pig, and the horse. The wanderers brought book with them after their abandonment of the site in- portant additions to the domestic animals, sanse- fy; the camel, the goat, and the shop ing, which seeris to indicate that they had wandered cast. ward to what are now the Indian a and Chineka Empires.
