two scientists mistook an elephant's knee bone for tho skull ot! a prlmi Uve human being and made the sensational announcement that thoy had a second and perfecty.akull of the Java man or Pithecanthropus ErectuE, 'was described yesterday by Dr. A. Hrdllcka of the National Museum at "Washington in ail address to the American Association for tho Advancement of Science. The skull of "tho second Java man" was found in Java near the where the famous Pithecanthropus Brecfua. or ancient ancient man was found 35 years ago.

The new Hurt was heralded as oue of the most important anthropological discoveries of the docnde. The discovery was vouched for uy two English scientists of excellent standing. A critical examination of this supposed million old near-human akull has revealed beyond all doubt that it Is an extinct elephant's knee, according to Dr. Hrdlickn, who admitted at first glance, that tho re- Eemhlance to a human skull was extremely strong and might deceive any but the most experienced investigators. He urged that discoverers of sensational skulls and teeth should submit them to expert investigation before anuouuciug them to the world.

The "Southwestern Colorado man" discovery was also exploded by Dr Hrdllcka, he were genuine ho would be the great grandfather ol them, antedating the Java 'man by some million years. The assumption that this 100 per cent American did exist was based on the discovery oL a set of teeth embedded In rock. discoverer of this was a dentist of' excellent repute in his profession. Ho declared the teeth to be those of primitive man and published his conclusions with photographs la ait article in a standard dental journal, attracting wide attention. "A careful examination has shown, however," said Dr.

Hrdllcka, "that the teeth 'are those of ono of tho small horses-of the Kocon period." Red Chicken Growers Hold Big State Meet HAREISBTIKG, Dee.
