RELICS OF THE BRONZE AGE
Remarkable Find of Prehistoric
Weapons and Ornaments Made in
karst Mountains.

A remarkable find of prehistoric
weapons and ornaments has been
made in a cavern at ST. Kanz:on. in
the Karst mountains, not far from
Abbazia. The cavern, which is known
as the Gave of Flies" from the num-
Der Of insects which, apparently breed
ing there, issue forth at certain times
OF the year, is a subterranean cham
Der with perpendicular depth of
one hundred and fifty feet, the only
entrance to which is by hole in the
roof. 1t was recently explored by
some climbers with the help of a long
rope ladder. A Roman helmet, dating
from the beginning Of the Christian
era, which the owner had apparently
dropped down the hole, was first
found. Encouraged by this the i'm
perial museum sent men to dig into
the earth and stones which have fall
len from the roof and sides and form
the floor of the cavern, and at depth
of three feet they discovered over
thousand articles of bronze, including
two hundred lance heads, number of
swords, axes, clasps and vessels. The
last named had all been burned
through by fire. The date of the arti-
cies is estimated at about 1000 B. c.
Since it appears impossible that men
in the bronze age should have lived at
the bottom Of such deep and mac
cessible cavern archaeologists believe
the weapons and vessels must have
been thrown down the hole as a sacri-
flee to some subteranean deity.-Vien-
