Rock caves aa Home,.

A large number of the natives of
Tenerife dwell in rock caves at the
present time, while those who have
made more progress inhabit huts that
resemble the caves.
The dwellings of these islanders are
simply large boxes, often built. If such
a term can be used, on the rock. They
have three completed sides without
openings of any kind; the roof is prac-
tically fat. except that in the center
1t dips" little in order to catch the
rain water.
The front of the hut has door.
which forms the only ventilation, and
often the only means by which light
can enter. This door is generally open,
and the family sits either inside the
hut quite close to the door or outside
in the open. Trey usually have kind
of cellar. which is a natural or arti.
fcial excavation in the rock founda-
ton, and in this cellar they keep a pig.
Sanitation is decidedly primitive.

he never pretended to produce any
succession of sounds that resembled a
theme or phrase of music. He wound
up with final jangIe of chords that
were harmonic. but not In any manner

Earth shane Th.or,e.

1t was ThaIes who first propagatsd
the theory that the earth is round, and
Anaximander held that it moved on its
own axis and that the moon shone by
reflected light of the sun. Pythagoras,
FIVE centuries before the Christian era,
anticipated Copernicus by saying that
the sun and not the earth was the cen
ter Of the planetary world. But the
Ptolemaic system, which made the
earth the center, superseded the specu-
lationS of the philosopher whose opin-
ion concerning wild fowl has gained
wider currency than his more sensible
views. And, in spite of the researches
OF many astronomers of eminence, IT
was left for Copernicus in the sixteenth
century to convince the world of the
truth of the Pythagorean hypothesis.
