PRIMITIVE MAN.

IMPORTANT FIND OF SKULLS IN CALIFORNIA.

The Smithsonian expedition in South- era California has made at Santa Bar bara what appears to be one of the most important anthropological discoveries for long time. Dr. J. P. Harrington, who heads the expedition, was reported on Oct, 25th to have said that two ekulis dis covered there were those of men existing in an era far earlier than that of the Neanderthal man and possessing culture far exceeding his.

In the skulls there are many evidences of primitive existence, besides low fore- heads and pronounced supra-orbital ridgra The mouth cavities are larger than those of any men, modern or an cient. One, wide open when found, men sured nearly seven inches from jaw to jaw. The averages thickness of the skulls is three-quarters of an inch, or more than twice as thick as those of Indians known to have been buried a thousand years.

With the skully were found erale im- plements-pesties, burbless fisbrooks, and other objects of which the use is not clear. -Time

THE

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA

FOR

RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL.

The Union of South Africa is of laterest to Europeans in the Far East. If they are retiring on pension, there are many pleasant South African. towns in which to live. If they seek.

career, and have a moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa for planters and farmers. And for those in need of a holiday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort.

The climate is equable. It is sunny but temperate, being either. se inclement in winter as that of Northem Europe, nor so enervating in summer as that of the East. It is genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive. “

The rougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers' and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africá...... The larger towns are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller. ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts-moun- tais, river and marine, for an octa- sional change. Sport is plentiful. The cost of living and lacome tax- ation compare favourably with those elsewhere.

In short the Uniod of South Africa Is an uncommonly attractive country. Full particulars may be obtained

of the Society for the Overseas Settle LONDON SELLING AGENTS ment of British Women, was the guest of the London branch of the Australian Natives Association at luncheon, Just month, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet Street. Speaking of the demand for domestic servants in Australia and New Zealand, Dame. Talbot said that for women of the professional class who wished to go over seas as domestic serrants there were two things which they needed to learn before leaving the Old Country One was how to cook an appetising meal, and the other how to make n child happy through its peevishness. Having done that they could get immediately good employment overseas, and if they put their hearts into it they would be well received and encouraged to go ahead. She added that the Grat party of fifteen young women, who were of the finest type of English girls, some being brought up at Chelten ham and Girton College, would shortly be going oversees to do actual domestic work because they realised that there was no place for them in Great Britain
