SATIONALISED BROADCASTING.
In view of the ever-growing Hood of discoveries in the use of higher power, Mr. Hoover, who, as Secretary of Com merce, has wireless under his jurisdic tion, believes that there will have to be limitation of stations, which enn be linked up whenever desirable for na- tional performance.

The Cambridge Union Society carried by eight votes (134 to 19) the motion That this House would rather "be ä three-bottle man then, a total abstainer."
"So different is this man that we have! agreed that we must create a new species for him."
The bones of the skull were abnormally thick, he had a tremendous jaw, an up- per lip an inch and a half Jong, and an exceptionally large cecipital ridge.
Measurements showed that the skull was that of a being midway between a grilla and man.
He foreseen the approach of the time when wireless must be trented as the public utility which it is, and when broadcasting stations must be removed from the field of private enterprise into that of public service. The time for this, however, has not yet arrived, though the species had been extinct for thousands of tamazing speed of new inventions and de- | Years,

In the marshy levels of Barotseland, at a spot called Broken Hill, there rose a limestone kopje, at the base of which was the entrance to a cave.
This limestone mound, was by the Broken Hill Exploration CA, and their excavations revealed a tunnel or shaft sloping down from the cave to a point soft, below the lever of the ground. It ended in Rall tomb, and here were found the skull and other remains of a man who was not like any other race that had ever been traced.
Sir Arthur said he could submit evidence which supported the specula tion that the tomb dated back to the be ginning of the Pleistocene period-at Teast more than 100,000 years ago and something under 200,000 years.
