Ancient Artists in France.

The caves of southern France are
the most remarkable i'll the world for
their wall pictures, made by prehistor-
ic men, who were contemporary with
the mammoth, the rhinoceros and the
reindeer in that country. Some of
the pictures are engraved in the rock,
some are painted with different colors.
They usually represent extinct AMI
mails, such as cave lions and cave
bears. A faithful representation OF
the rhinoceros, with it's two horns of
unequal length, is found in cavern
at Font de Gaume The prehistoric
artists made their paint of ochre Of
various shades, pulverized and mixed
in mOrtarS.

Seven black,sh, smaller species Of
whale, were found dead on the beach
near Tarpon Springs one day week be-
fore last. Each fish lay with Its nose
on the beach and its tail pointed
straight out to sea. An old whaler
who has seen as many as 800 OF these
fish thus beached in the South Pa
ci1c explains that the blacktlsh takes
pleasure In jumping straight out Of the
sea until 1t seems to stand on its
tail, then falling in such manner
as to fairly churn the water. II in
thus falling one Of them touches bot

A Little Essay ON Names.


Our neighbors across the line have
sometimes objected Theoretically to thu
assumption OF the name American"
by the people OF the United States.
We, too. live In America, and are as
much American as the Inhabitants OF
the southern half OF the continent"
True enough. Yet their own practice
furnishes the complete answer. The
people OF this country are called Ameri-
cans because they are the chief nation
OF the western hemisphere for one
thing, and because there is no other
fitting substitute for that name. Even
our northern netghbors could not school
themselves to call US United States
ers" Americans" they and the world
call US, and Americans we will always
be. There is no misunderstanding in
any foreign capital when one asks to be
directed to the American embassy.
Our friends in the Dominion should
be glad that their country has so eupho-
NOUS and convenient name as Cana
da, which is the home OF the Cana
dians." of course. The jewellers In cer-
tain States OF our Union have occasion
to lament sometimes that their Com
monwealths are not more happily
named. What is citizen OF Idaho to
