THIS photograph shows
l. the modern way of sight
ing a quick firing gun on a
battleship.
On each side Of the gun
IS an arrangement resem-
bling greatly pair of huge
opera glasses, while out on
top Of the muzzle is a finder
similar in appearance to
those used on cameras of
certain types.
A platform for the range
finder to stand on is placed
on each side of the cannon
near the base.
The platforms swing with
the gun while the sighting is

This form Of sighting APP

nNE of the most surprising dis
coveries ever made about
prehistoric man is that OF
Count Begouin. made last fall in a
cavern in the foothills OF the Ply
renee mountains near st. Girons.
Pushing his way into the heart OF
the hill, accompanied by his two
sons. who aid him in his archaeo-
logical explorations, Count Begouin,
after traversing a long upper gal
lery. in the rock, and after being
compelled to break passage
through stalagmitic pillars, formed
by the dripping of lime charged
water for uncounted ages. came
upon recess, where he saw, TO his
amazement. two clay shtues, rep
resenting, respectively, a male and
female bison, each something over
two feet in length, and modelled So
that the difference of sex, as well
as the species of the animal. was
Enthusiastically indicated.
They were true statuettes. in a
walking attitude. the male follow
ing the female. They stood on a
slope of clay talus, to which they
remained attached. A third unfin-
ished figure, the nature Of which
could not be made out, was found
in the same place. Around Them
and elsewhere in the galleries COM
posing the ancient cavern, were the
footprints of the men who had made
them or had seen them made, and
these were superimposed upon the
footmarks of cave bears which had
evidently inhabited the cavern con-
temporaneously with the human
beings or Immediately before they
took possession Of it as a dwelling
place. Skeletons of the cave bear
were also found and from these the
canine teeth had been removed.
Mans Contemporaries
The significance of this discovery
lies in the fact that it proves. for
the first time. that some of the very
earliest representatives of our race
had learned to model in clay. These
men belonged to what is called the
paleolithic age, which means the
Old Stone Age from the Greek
words palaios C"ancient') and
lithos ("stone'). At that time the
weapons and utensils shaped hv
men were made of stone. They had
not yet learned to employ metals.
Afterward came the Bronze Age
and later the Iron Age. The enor-
nous antiquity of that time is
shown by the single fact that then
reindeer cave bears Ca species long
since extinct, the bison, the mann
moth and other animals that have
vanished We're contemporaries of
man IN southern Europe.
It had been known for long time
that the men of that age were en-
dowed with artistic instincts They
carved the figures of animals ON
the tusks of mammoths. and thew
made rude paintings on the walls
OF their caverns. but now we know
that they had also learned to shane
