British physician who baa been t some pains to collect data on Ibe subject asserts that few persona about to die bare really any fear of dissolution. There Is cited the case of the African explorer who was partially devoured by a Uon. 0 de clared that be felt oo pain or fear and that bla ouly sensation was one of In tense ciriosJly as to wbat portion of bla body Ibe liou would take next Uuatein rash. Turkish ambassador at London, used to tell jf an attack made upon him by a bear dining a hunt in the east. The beaut tore off bit of the Turk's hand, a part of his arm and a portion of bis shoulder. Rustetn solemnly averred that he suf fered neither pain nor fenr, but that be felt the greatest Indlguatioa because tl:c bear grunted with ao much sails fa-tlon while tunnelling him.

Science Places It Between 400,000 and 3X100,000 Years. It ia quite possible, said Professo A. Keith In a lecture to the British as sociation at Dundee, that man aa we know Dim now took on bla human characteristics somewhere near the beginning of the pliocene period, and while the exact date is simply a guess the- best estimates available indicate 1.4U8.0U0 11. C aa not tar from tbe truth. If the evidence of the flint j collectors ia Accepted aa authentic. I pliocene man is a iHissiliililv. ' Professor Keith was sure we had traced ourselves buck to the middle of the pleistocene, when we were ac companied by another form of man almost us distinct from us as the gorilla is from the chimpanzee. At the U'f:iiiiiiiiK of the pleistocene then' were lit least two varieties of man the pre ne:i;id( rtMVoi l of Heiileilieri' and the s:siall brained man of .lava-' lint the "representative of modem iu.:n lit that early period'' has not us yet been found. if the claims of M. itulot are accept ed. the antiquity of man is at least S.tsm.iKKi years. Aei-onling to Professoi Keith, the orthodox ilir which presum ably lie meant scientifically orthodox, opinion is that "the duwn of the very earliest fo,- f humanity lies 4(R).iski years behind us " Kroiii nil of wlilci: It Is plain that the lieinulngs of tin ave of man are Mill shrouded In mv tery. "Jlip Idea 1 wish l leave In your minds Is." said I'rofessor Keith In conclusion, "that in the distant past there was not one kind, but a iiuiutr of very different kinds of men In ex istence, all of which have lecome ex tinct except that branch which has tacii origin iu inuueru umu. -.ifw I York I'st Has His Own Dtath Certificate.
