general appearance not unlike a totem
pole. After much elaboration he de-
termined, by the aid of his remaining
fashlight material, even at the risk
of being forever lost in the dark pas
sages of the cavern, to give to archae-
ology a kodak representation of his
remarkable discovery. By the merest
chance he was able to obtain an almost
perfect view, although the adjacent
walls of the cavern were also inter-
copied on both sides.
What this really is. when 1t was
constructed, why and how, are matters
which led this amateur photographer
to give to the public an illustration Of
his discovery In order that scientists
may consider the problem. The ac-
companying illustration Is a good re-
production of the photograph that
will make the amateur artist famous,
and the spot where it was taken even
more 80. That a devout and idol-wor-
Shipping people have many times bow
ed to this image is not to be doubted. It
contains no visible inscriptions. but q
close inspection reveals the clear-cut
outlines and features Of many wild
animals that evidently roarned the for

and reverence by the populace. I'm

Two young children of Ernest Cor

Butter Fat In Whey.-It has been
claimed by some that there Is no more
loss OF fat in handling rich milk than
In making up medium or poor milk.
Tho results of three years experiments
at the Ontario agricultural college lead
conclusively to the opinion that the
whey from milk rich In butter-fat con-
tains a higher percentage OF fat than
does the whey from medium or poor
milk. Not only is the percentage Of
fat in the whey higher. but the loss Of
fat originally In the milk Is greater per
