girl about 10 or 10 years of age going

What L. a DOlmen2

On the continent the term dolmen is
almost universally applied to the whole
construction, including the covering,
mound or cairn. Thus French and other
writers speak of a chambered mound or
tumulus as o dolmen. But since it is
probable that some never were covered
up it seems better to make a distinc-
tion, as we do in this country. In
France there are said to be about 4, 900
dolmens, many of which would in Eng.
land be called chambered tumuli. The
Indian dolmens which are not covered
up resemble those of western Europe.
Captain Meadows Taylor examined a
large number in India and obtained
particulars of no less than 2,129 in the
Dekkan. About half of them had an
opening ON one side, probably for the
free entrance or exit of the soul, as peo-
pie thought then, just as in the Egyp-
tian pyramid there was passage to the
chamber containing the mummy. With
regard to the distribution of these struc-
lures, it is said that none is to be
found in eastern Europe beyond Saxony.
They reappear in the Crimea and Cir
cassia, whence they have been traced
through central Asia to India. They
have also been noticed by travellers in
Palestine, Arabia, Persia, Australia,
the Penrhyn islands, Madagascar and
Peru. Prehistoric Man

had Meat Made Good.

The subject of tuberculous meat is
one of the greatest Importance to the
community at large in view of the fact,
which has been scientifically demon
strated, that it is possible for that dis
ease to be propagated by the consump-
tion of meat SO tainted.
Various projects have from time to
time been suggested for the treatment
Of meat to make it harmless to the COM
munity at large. The safest plan is, of
course, the destruction of such diseased
meat.
A famous German scientist has, how
ever, proposed that tuberculous meat
should be divided into at least two
classes, and only that deeply impreg-
mated with the germs Of disease should
be condemned absolutely and irTevoca-
bly, to cremation by the sanitary author
tiles. Now, however, proposal, has
been made, based ON more accurate OBJ
servation, that the diseased meat should
not be thrown away at all, but should
be potted.
This operation is to be performed at q
very high temperature and under steam
pressure, which would have the effect
of completely killing these hardy germs.
In this way much meat which would be
wasted can be rendered fit for human
food, and ii may be taken with impu,
nifty. Sentiment will no doubt declare
against the use of diseased meat in spite
of the assurance of science. Pearson
