A LONDONER OF VERY LONG AGO.
DEDUCTIONS FROM THE CITY'S 15,000-YEAR-OLD SKULL.
י
WOMAN WHO TALKED. The first known Londoner was a WODAR -and she could talk,
:
Those are the salient facts of the dis Seatery of the oldest really human skull In this country, which was dug up in the excavations for Lloyd's new buildings in | Leadenhall-street in the City,
Ice was her habitat, and mammoths were her fear
It is possible that she was black, sad she certainly had a shout and no bridge

The ledrama of this ancestor of ours was reconstructed, as far as possivt, Before an Evening Standard reporver 19 the laboratory of a scientist. Prowessor Fahot-Smith, F.R.S, on the London um. versity ~ College,), ucuures from the wo man's skull, that she “was left-hange
when she lived 20,000 to 20,000 years ago..
"It is puro gasserwork to attempt to give figuree," said Professor Elliot Smith, for we have nothing to guide us. I should think, however, the skull is not older than 20,000 years, and is per- haps between 15,000 to 20,000 years old. It was found 98ft. below the ground, and if it had not been for the intelligence of the foreman it would probably have bee thrown away.
It will take at <important place in the history of archeology. Apart from the Piltdown skull, which is hardly humap, "it is the oldest skull found in Britain.

From the poor mascular development at the back of the deck, the skull is pro- bably that al a woman, From the closeu suðures, sae was probably between du anu 0 years old at death. The skull was broken before it began to tessilise tha:- sands of years ago, so that it was pro- bably swept to the spot where it was found by a moving stream. She lived about the end of tno Ico -âge," in the Upper Paleolithic Period, before agricul ture and civilisation began, and before stone weapons began to be polished.
"At the side o: the akull is
pro- tuberance at a point which is connected with the development of speech in the brain. This points to her being able to tals, and i have always held the belie that speech wia in essential "distinction of the human race at its reginning. "I have compared her skull and brain capacity with that of the Piltdown und Neanderthal men, and find that she was much nearer our type than they were. HER MODERN COUNTERPART. Her skull is but slightly-smaller than that of the lowest aborigine we have beup able to find in Australia, and it sho were, Bot down among the Australian natives, she would probably get on with them all right
This woman had a very coarse face, with a snout for a nose, and no divinioti between the cheeks. Unfortunately, the akull has no face, so one cannot say whether it had the facial characteristics of the negro, but I have always believed that primitive man was black.
"The greater development of one side of the brain cavity indicates that the woman was left-handed.
"The akull is a brown fragment, fossilised even to the broken edges. It is very flat on the top, the place at which all cranial growth takes place, while the points of attachment of the neck muscles at the back are delicate and feminine. The marks of the blood vessels within

LORD' CECIL'S WEIRD MOTOR` RIDE.
Viscount Cecil gave his rectorial ad- dress at Aberdeen University last month. Before his appearanco undergraduates gave a burlesque sitting of the League of Nations They finished by marrying the greybeard president, to a dusky East
African maid,
After the address, Viscount Cecil and the Principal of the University (the Very Rev. Sir George Adam Smith) als lowed themselves to be ushered into a
gaily decorated but derelict motor-car, which, being engineless, required a tenni of 20 young men, in relays, to pull it through the main throughfares,
During the ride undergraduates, made ropes on the car fast to a ramway.cnr. | With a jolt and rattle in Kector's chariot followed in the wake of the tram- way-car, attaining a speed with which the hundreds of undergraduates could not keep pace,
The tramway conductor became irate when the overhead trolley was dislodged, and he belaboured the Rector's team with a rope until they had, perforce, to re lease their vehicle.
Loud bangs sounded from its interior. as quibs and detonators exploded. Bottles of refreshment were jocularly proffered to chear the two on their jour hey, and when these were smilingly re- fused the contents were consumed by the driver and the grotesquely costumed attendants.
In case of a breakdown of the cur, a Clydesdale horse, palling a perambulator was hold in readiness.
WOMAN IN FIRE TEMPLE.
PARSEE APPEAL TO THE PRIVY
COUNCIL.
The Privy Council (Lord Phillimore, Lord Blanesburgh, and Sir John Edge) granted the appeal last month of ParseE Zoroastrian fire-worshippers from judg- ments of the Supreme Court of Burma, which had found that a woman named Bella, the daughter of a Christian father and a Parsee mother, was entitled" to worship in the Rangoon £re temple. The worshippers said the temple, which was under a Government trust, was for racial Parsees or persons whose fathers were PAISOCA
Lord Phillimore said the judgment of the Chief Court of Burns would be varied, and a declaration would be made that Bella was not entitled, as of right; to use the temple; but there would be so costs of this appeal..

Educationists are agreed that for the practical purposes of education these children are learning next to nothing,
The Chief Medical Officer of the Board of Education, in his report for 1923, said, "It will be generally agreed that the best place for the child under five years of age ought to be with its mother in its own home."

HTS 24 SPECIALISTS.
A remarkable story of how a baby was bora, with the brain and arteries of a man of eighty, and is now being gradual. ly rejuvenated by solar ray and dietetic treatment, is reported from Highgate
The child is now 22 months old and is the only son of Mr. Joseph Cohen, of 48, High-street, Highgate. He was born on Christmas Eve 1993 with the very rare disease "known as Warens tay sacks," and, according to his mother, did not cry, grow teeth, or show any signs of normal baby life for a whole year.
He lay absolutely still for twelve months, without uttering sound," said Mrs. Cohen in an interview last month, "and his body was stone cold even in the summer time. He was just like an 'old, old man.”
SENTENCED TO DEATH. His case was considered so remark able that he came to be regarded as a curiosity at two of the big London hos pitals where he was given up as hope-
·less. Sentence of death at the age of eighteen months was passed on him generally, but following a conference held in Wimpole-street by 24 eminent specialists, it was decided to make a final attempt to save, his life with solar rays "For three days a week he was plunged into sun baths by Dr. Damoglou, the solar ray specialist, and given a diet composed mainly of orange juice Milk was absolutely forbidden. The two to- gether worked like a miracle; bis tooth grew, he began to move, and he is now waking from his octogenarian dream and becoming more like a baby every day. He now lives almost entirety on grapes, grat ed apples, and other fruit juices, and the specialists my that within two years he will wake into quite a normal child. "He is now beginning to ery quite heartily, and we encourage him to do so by crying ourselviu."

Dr. Archibald Fleming, of street, S.W., replying to an invitation to become a patron of A Grand Scottish Carnival Dance, on Saturday, October 31st, in aid of the funds of the Royal Caledonian Schools, Bushey, deprecates the growing tendency among London Scottish societies to hold their festivities on Saturday nights.
