other selections tall man, with POM
padour hair, came in on the Pennsyl-
vania road, and every man. woman and
child deserted me to follow him away.
Need add that 1t was Corbett, the
trimmer and copal varnisher OF my fell
low author, John l.. Sullivan?
They had come there to see him. Ac-
cordinQ TO the report made by a very
we'll known paleolithic expert OF
France, there are abundant signs OF
paleolithic men all over that country.
The region west of the Nile and toward
the southeast corner of that belt Of vir-
gin real estate known as the Desert OF
Sahara.
M. Chantelier says that the spoor OF
paleolithic man points to the existence
of human beings here in the quarter
nary period, and even back OF that at a
time when the distribution OF land and
waters was far different and when the
Desert of Sahara was little streak OF
sand where the Egyptians came to get
material for plastering. An old lime
kiln is still on the ground, though some
claim it is a royal tomb or ssrcophagus
bed.
The scientists say very truly, think,
and am borne out in this opinion by
nv fellow scientist, Tunk Brady, au-
thor of Ten Groggy Goes and Ten Sec
onds of Silence" book that had a large
sale while Tunk was popular, but is now
out of print, that "the paleolithic man
appears to have been succeeded without
a hiatus by neoithic communities who
developed to a high degee OF perfection
| the art of making 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 excuses to
leave the throne in order to be shaved
twice per day.
M. Chatelier also says that "the most
striking features Of the prehistorlcal re-
mains are the megalithic structures
| the dolmans, the menhirs, the crom-
lechs, the triIithons, stone circles, etc.
which are abundantly scattered ovei
the soil from Fee, in Morocco, to the
Tripolitan chateau.
Unfortunately 1 did not know this
until had furnished my house. l
would have been pleased to look over q
| few of those myself.
Discovery Of Roman coins In some OF
these dolmans shows, he says, that they
NAV have been contemporary with the
old settlers of Beled I'll Mehgreb; also
that a coin pocket in the dolman has
always been regarded as safe place TO
keep money from the hand OF man.
Similar megalithic remains have been
found in Palestine and away back in the
early history Of the cave bear, the three
toed horse and the old settlers OF lslip.
The Amorites also left megalithic re-
mains and two or three Cornish jokes
still bearing the MARKS OF the clumsy
stone implement with which they were
hewn out.
It must be a great comfort to these
people to know that they have been sue
cessful in leaving megalithic remains.
Washington awoke one morning to lind
himself the father of his country, but ne
left no megalithic remains. Columbus
discovered the country of which Wash
ington in a number Of well chosen re-
marks officially became the father, but
even Chris left no megalithic remains
which would resist the elements and the
''oyeTzealous tooth OF Time.
what may we laarn from this?
One hundred dollars in cash or farm
produce will be given to the ArsS one
who discovers what we should learn
from this.
