RELIC OF PREHISTORIC AGE
Discovery in Germany Has Aroused
Antiquarians in All Parts
of the World.

The bones of a monster believed tc
be 10000 years old were recently dis.
covered in the garden of a mansion
at Perivale, near Ealing, Germany
This recent find has led to the belief
that a skull of curious formation, I'M
earthed twelve years ago, is that of a
rhinoceros of the Pleistocene period
and probably about 10000 years old.
Authorities have pronounced the head
to be that of prehistoric monster.
When she excavations were made
there were also discovered parts of a
Roman wall, several human skulls,
coins and spears. The rhinoceros'
skull was found underneath a shed
which has been standing for SOC
years, and the foundations of which
consisted of concrete to consider.
able depth. 1t was in the course OF
removing this concrete and digging
some yards below that the discovery
was made. AS little Importance was
attached to it, the skull was given
to the gardener who handed it over
to his children as a plaything The
lower jaw, teeth, and legs of the ami.
NAL have now been found. The skull
itself is about Sc inches in length
and seems to be water worn. The
leg bones are short and thick, and
this goes to support the theory that
the animal was rhinoceros.
