The earliest weapons or mankind--ot

suggested by the natural weapons OF
the animals-the tusks of the boar. elc-

swordfish and norwhal, the pointed an
tiers OF the deer and the short hofns
of the steer In fact II Is well known
that these weapons, taken directiy
from the fruits Of the chase. were ac-
tual1y employed by men before they
made for themselves any other weap-
