OLD HUMAN SKELETONS | _
There were unearthed the other. day within
the palace grounds of Tokyo, Japan, eight human
skeletons. with their hands clasped prayerfully.
This revives the ancient and popular legend that
it was the custom to bury human beings alive
beneath temples in order to strengthen the found-
ation. It it believed ‘the skeletons are 200. or
' more_years old.
/ SKELETONS 50,000 .YEARS OLD
Two:human skeletons of the Neanderthal type,
Charles FE.’ Nylander,
L, FE, Wilzin, Treas..
believed to be at:least 50,000 years old, were dis- -
‘covered recently in a cave near Simferopol, in the
Crimea, according to an announcement from Mos-
cow, says Popular Science. ~ _
In addition to the human relics found. in the
cave, there were discoyered a number of skele-
tons of. mammoths,. dinosaurs, cave hyenas, cave
bears, and a large assortment of crude imple-
ments used by primitive man. .
~ CENT IN HIS THROAT *
Fred Bedes, a salesman living in Elizabeth,
N. J., was discharged from the Alexian Brothers’
Hospital recently after having had removed. from ~
his throat-a cent which had been lodged there for
five years.. Bedes had been unaware of the pres-
ence of the coin until an X-ray disclosed its pres-
ence.
Bedes had suffered for three weeks from
coughing and difficulty in eating. Recently he
went to the hospital for treatment. An X-ray
_disclosed the presence of a foreign body in his
throat, and Bedes then recalled that. on a train
five years ago he had accidentally swallowed a.
penny. Dr. Henry Norton, a nose and throat
specialist, was ‘summoned from Newark and re-.
moved the coin without an anesthetic. oo
