EXPERTS EXAMINE ALLEGED RELICS PREHISTORIC FIND.

DIVIDED VIEWS.

The international commission in vestigating the alleged prehistoric finds at Glozel has examined the objects which were discovered by Dr. Morlet and young Mr. Fradin during the past three years (saya the Daily Chronicle special cores pondent at Paris.) There are nearly 8,500 specimens.

Investigation in Java.

In Java, Wieberdink found that cancer occurs one and a half times more frequently in women than in men and that the percen- age of tumours among the people: was about the same as is found in: European hospitals. There, were proportionately not so many cases of cancer of the stomach among the internal female organs as occurred among European people.

Many patients suffering with tumours die in tropical countries of pneumonia, malaria, dysentery or hookworm. These discases carry them off at a premature age. Cancer is seldom noted in relation! to the cause of death.
