When It Is Monday on the eastern side of the Date Line, it Is Tuesday on the western side. Built by Volcanic Action. Volcanic in origin, the Aleutian Islands today are studded with conical peaks hiding active and inactive volcanoes. Most interesting, geologically, is Bogoslof, famous for its antics. The Aleutians are neither very warm nor very cold. Dutch harbor's mean temperature is 89 degrees, with a low cf 80 above zero in January and a high of .52 in July. The annual rain fall of 63 Inches is high. There are some 250 rainy days In a year, making the Aleutians one of the rainiest regions In the territory of the United States. Nevertheless water supplies are limited because there are no great watersheds or rivers. Vegetables can be grown only under glass. There is no wood on the Islands; natives use driftwood and animal oils for heat. Fogs hang over the Islands the year round. Gales lash the coasts. When monkeys and Melbourne. an ape in the Melbourne zoo had their fingerprints taken by Detective L. H. Thomas, fingerprint expert, he found at first glance not even an expert could tell the differ ence between prints made by an ape or a large monkey and the fingerprints of a man. All the human loops, whorls and bifurcations were there and each print could be classified In exactly the same way as a set of human fingerprints. Washington. The Aleutian Islands, a festoon of land fragments strung from the Alaska peninsula for 1,500 miles across the north Pacific ocean, constitute the latest area of the United States over which flying by civil airplanes is prohibited. The Islets are the subject of a bulletin from making anchorage most treacherous. the National Geographic society.

Not Severely Cold. Although the Aleutians are as far north as central Canada their climate Is not severely cold. Rather they may be said to be always chilly, damp, and foggy. Fog Is anything but an asset to the flyer; but the Aleutian fog has the good point, at least, of being less dense than the fog of more southern lands. Dutch harbor, Unalaska, Is the first harbor of Importance In the islands. This deep, land locked harbor Is one of the finest in the North and played an Important part as a way station for ships during the gold rushes to the Yukon and Nome. It Is connected with the rest of the world by a radio station. Atka, several hundred miles farther west, is approximately the half way house of the Aleutian chain, and on it is one of the last settlements west of the mainland. Nazan bay, which gives an excellent harbor to Atka, Is often clear of fog when it hangs heavily outside. After Atka Is passed the Islands for 500 miles westward are practically uninhabited. Then comes Attu, the last of the Aleutians, the westernmost bit of land at all connected with the American continent over which the Stars and Stripes wave.

The fragment was discovered by Earl H. Bell of the University of Nebraska while excavating In a large mound of undetermined age near the site of a prehistoric Indian village. The skull fragment coupled with the recently found Folsom arrowhead points proves conclusively that the America before Columbus extended back for thousands If not tens of thousands of years. The Folsom points are distinctly American in character and date from the early glacier periods approximately the same time as that of the skull fragment. Doctor Hrdiicka found that the skull fragment had belonged to a middle-agemale Indian and was normal ex In one abnormality. It had large cept bony ridges over the eyes, one of the prominent characteristics of the true Neanderthal skull and those of great apes. These ridges have virtually degenerated in modern mankind. In the Nebraska Indian skull the ridges were pronounced and about half as prominent as those of the Neander-thaie- r as compared modern man. the anthropologist said. Doctor Hrdiicka stressed that the skull did not Indicate that Neanderthal men actually lived in America, but rather that there was some sort of ancestral connection between prehistoric Americans and Neanderthal-ersomewhere outside America. We are justified in regarding such occurrences as reminiscences, more or less, of early stages in the evolution of the human skull, but not as uninterrupted connections and especially not as a safe Index of the antiquity of the specimens that show such characters, Doctor Hrdiicka wrote in a re port on the skull for the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
