In the bone caves of the south of

deer, mammoths and men scratched on

by artists contemporary with the
Elephas primi-genius. The men are
represented with short, bent legs, and
seem to stand or walk in STOPPING

forward from the hips. Now press your
hand down the back of any infant of
under ten months old and feel the spine
at the loin or lumbar region. where in
the adult modern man the back is hol-

When Reptiles Ruled a World.

There was time Sin the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past" when our
globe was wholly in the possession of
walking, swimming and flying reptiles.
Being the dominant type they divided
naturally into three great classes. In the
oceans they became gigantic padding
enaliosaurians; on dry land, or rather wet
land (for the whole face of the globe was
doubtless quagmire at that time), they
became monstrous, erect din 1saurians,
some of which had legs fifteen feet or
more in length; those which inh abited the
regions of the air were the terri BILE flying
pterodactyls.
For vast but unknown length of time
these awful creatures literally ruled the
earth. Finally after they had seen their
day." they began to grow less and less.
One by one they died out in the face of the
younger and more vigorous fauna until at
the present time only few mini ature ALI
gators and crocodiles and few toy snake.
remain as reminders Of skulkirg lizards
and geckos and Of the enormous reptilian
types that once crowded land and sea.-St.
