Writing by Cave DwelIers.

a discovery of unusual intereSt-in
deed, one might say of nearly the
greatest Importance that has been
anthropology-has lattCrly been an
nounccd by NJ. Ed Petite, and consists
in the finding, in the cave Of Mas
d All, in the departments of Ariege,
France. a layer of pebbles Of unQues-
tionably neothlithic age, in which many
of the surfaces are painted in various
devices with the peroXyd of iron, says
an exchange In these markings there
appears to be almost UNREASONABLE
evidence Of the existence of an alpha
bette language, and it is even surmised
that some of the markings may even
indicate entirely conyentionalized pho
netic characters. The pebbles in Ques-
ton are mostly rounded or ttattened
stones of quartz or schist from the
river Arise, and OvCrlie deposit con-
tanning the bones of various large quad
rupedS-rCindeer, aurOChs, horses, etc.
while above them rests a mixed lay
err, in the upper portion of which are
found polished stone axes.
In some cases the entire surface of
the pebbles is co.ored, but moro fire.
Quently the stones are marked on one
or both sides with simple devices-dots,
bars and graphic" or combination
characters, while occasionally n border
forms part of the decoration. These
various devices are classified by NJ
Petite in four categories: Numerals,
symbols, Photographic signs and alpha
betiCal characters. Most of the spots
and bars are ingenioUsly reasoned out
to he numerical! ch2"G cte9s, those Of the
first series (spCts) being considered to
be units of the higher groups of fig
ures, and these of the second (the bars)
to represent simple numerals. In the
Photographic signs NJ. Petite believes
to have found the transcription of nat
ural objects, such as SerpentS, trees.
reeds, etc. Assuming the alphabetical
signs to be properly interpreted in their
leanipg-i. e., to be syllable in their
construction-the question is raised:
Can it be possible that these pebbles
were employed in building up words
and sentences, much as children use
boxes of letters? However conclusive
or inconclusive may be NJ. Piettes in
depreciation of his finds, their discov-
cry will doubtless tend to warm up the
zeal of anthropologists in the direction
of the new and most instructive field
of investigation which has been opened
I'D to them.

The vacancies in chairmanships to be
filled are the following: Coast defenses,

elections. public lands, territories and for
estry reservations.
OF these places it is practically certain
that Senator Hale will be assigned to the
head of naval affairs Senator Chandler
70 privileges and elections. Senator Hans
brough to public lands ana Senator Shoup
to the territories.
Speeches favorable to the acceptance CT
