A STONE AGE BANQUET.
Scientists Try to Revert to Customs
of Prehistoric Man.
rom Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
Dr. Edouard Hahn. an archeologist of
Berlin, a member of the Anthropological
Society, lately conceived the original plan
of preparing a banquet In the manner of
"the stone age" There were many volun-
teers to aid in the work Of making the
proper preparations for the unique func-
ton. 1t was necessary first to select an
appropriate spot for the dining place
After many sites were examined it was
finally decided to hold the banquet on
sand bank in the middle Of the Danube
river, far from habitations. This was
done in order to remove all semblance OF
the life Of today. and to insure surround
ings that would indicate time when the
only habitations were caves or the shelter
OF trees
With the sand bank as the table.
dishes and utensils were made in models
OF those used in the stone age. Those
made Of wood were fashioned in close
imitation OF the utensils Of that age. Cab
bage soup formed the first item of the
menu. 1t was prepared in a wooden bowl
by means Of stones that had been first
heated and then thrown into the water
In which the cabbage had been placed. As
fast az the stones cooled others were put

than any offering of today, was an i'm
portant dish. Stewed maize, cooked by
the hot-stone methods, went with the
pork
Turnips were roasted in the ashes of the
fire. the ire-hardened part jerked away
and then served steaming hot. After this
there was a dessert of dried berries and
wild honey. The banquet lasted more
than three hours, and when 1t was over
and the scientists were returning to their
homes the guests all insisted that If the
stone age man Jared as we'll as this he
had little Of which TO complain in the
matter Of food.
During this strange banquet every pos
sible effort was made to enter into the
spirit of the remote age. The scientists
ate either with their fingers or out of the
bowls that were placed before them.
There were no knives. no forks. no table
cloths and no napkins In fact. nothing
in the entire meal suggested the table
manners of today. When 1t became neces-
sary to turn any material that was being
cooked. this was accomplished by means
Of a pronged stick Not bit of metal
was employed. either in the cooking or in
the consumption Of the food that day pre-
pared for the scientists.
