were. The crowd grew apace. Fully five
thousand people were gathered about me
near the ferry. They were good nRtured
and generous, and the old mans eyes
twinkled till feared he would forget him
self and see things. but as l wearied and
the crowd began to ask for other selections
tall man, with pompadour hair, came in
on the Pennsylvania road, and every man,
woman and child deserted me 10 follow
him away.
Nsed add that it was Corbett, the trim
mer and copal varnisher of my fellow
author, John l.. Sullivan.
They had come there to see him. Accord
ing to the report made by very well
known paleolithic expert OF France, there
are abundant signs of paleolithic men all
over that country. The region is west of
the Nile and toward the southeast corner
of that belt of viryin real estate known as
the desert of Sahara.
NJ. Chatelier says that the spoor OF paleo-
lithic man points to the existence OF human
beings here in the qsaternary period, and
even back of that at time when the ais
tribution of land and waters was far diff
ferent and when the desert of Sahara was
little streak of sand where the Egyptians
came to get material for plastering. An
old limekIln is still on the ground, though
some claim it is royal tomb or sarcopha-
gus bed.
The scientist says very truly, think,
and | am borne out in this opinion by my
fellow scientist. Tunk Brady, author of
"Ten Groggy Goes and Ten Seconds of
Silence" a book that had large sale
while Tunk was popular, but Is now out of
print, that sthe paleolithic man appears to
have been succeeded without a hiatus by
neolithic communities who developed to a
high degree of perfection the art of max
ing stone implements. AS there are no
whiskers found in any of the graves it is
presumed by Huxley and | that these men
perfected the stone razor TO such degree
that even the king made all kinds of ex-
cuses to leave the throne in order to be
shaved twice per day.
NJ. Chstelier also says that "the mos!
striking features of the prehistorical re-
mains are the megalithic structures-the
dolmans, the menhirs, the cr0mlechs, the
trilithons, stone circles etc.-which are
abundantly scattered over the soil from
Fee, in Morocco, to the Tripolitan cha
teau."
Unfortunately did not know this until
had furnished my house. | would have
been pleased to look over few Of those
myself"
| Discovery of Roman coins in some OF
| these dolmans shows, he says, that they
may have been contemporary with the ole
settlers of Beled FL Mehgreb; also that
coin pocket in the dolman has always beer
regarded as a safe place to keep money
from the hand Of man.
Similar megalithic remains have beer
found in Palestine far away back in the
early history of the cave bear, the three
toed horse and the old settlers of Islip
the Amorites also left megali.hlc remains
and two or three Cornish jokes still bear
ing the marks of the clumsy stone nipple
ment with which they were hewn out.
1t must be great comfort to these peopl,
to know that they have been successful il
leaving megslithic remains. Washington
awoke one morning to ind himself tn,
father of his country, but he left no negal
ithic remains. Columbus discovered thu
country of which Washington in number
of well chosen remarks officially became
the father, but even Chris left no megsl-
ithic remains which would resist the ele
meDts and the overzealous tooth of Time
| What may we learn from this?
One hundred dollars in cash or farm pro

covers what we should learn from this.
