The Pre-Historic Man

The following is an account of recent dis. coveries in Italy, made by Professor CapelIini:
 EHe visited mauo caverns, and in one ofthese was successful in funing traces of pre- historic man. This Was in a grotto of the Island of Palmera, the access to which was difficult and dangerous. Here he caused exca vatiors to be made. and the result was the discovery of nu- merous flint and stone implements, the work manship of which showed that they belopgsd to the earliest period of the stone age. Besides these wrought implements and various other objects brought into the cavern by it's human occupants, he found considerable quantity of bones of animals mingled with bones of human beings, The condition of these latter bons, he says, would justify the inference that ths grotto has been inhabited by anthropophaei. and that the Italians of that age were canni- baIs, like their contemporaries in Belgium, France and Denmark
 Among the human bones were fou nd those of women, and part of the jawbone of 5 child seme seven or eight years of age. Some of these bones were entire, others partially cal- cned In the centre of the cave it was pos. sibIe to discover traces of fireplace Ire Professor says: ''Whoever has busted himself in prehistoric researches, whoever has read Spring excellent work on the Chauvaux cnv- ern iu Belgium, and the writings ef other au. thors on the subject,of caverns in France, will not hesitate to admit thattbe discorcr'o3 ip the island of Palmeria prose that the rs were, as have said, man eaters, Tor .an P ssent, it will be sufficient fer me io direct tae gtc'- ton of naturalists to the subject Ibs eyclo- peans spoken of in the fables gre 70 z, ? these can i0alg.
