THE traveller has been apprised
in advance of the fact that in
London he must pay sixpence for a
theater program. Now and then,
upon entering the stalls and receiv-
ing his program from the girl usher,
the traveller will find that he has
not less than a shilling in change.
This shilling he will proffer to the
girl usher, who will remark that she
has no change, but will endeavor
directly to obtain the same and
bring it to the traveller. Presently
the girl usher will bend over the
travellers seat and in a voice that

in central Europe They came after the Mean
derthaIers and existed upward of 100000
wears ago.
The first carving of this race was found
beneath the streets Of Brunn, in Austria. A
human skeleton was found lying close to the
bones of the rhinoceros and the mammoth
surrounded by a number of ornaments
strange little disks of bone and stone. Near
them was little carved ivory figure of man
Few things in the recent advances in
knowledge of this subject have been so sur
prising as the proof we now possess of the
extraordinary early development OF the ar
tistic talent among mankind.
The first man who made figures OF animals
belonged TO the Grimaldi race, so called from
the family name of the Prince of Monaco, I'M
der whose patronage the search for the re-
mains was carried on. The Grmaldi race
lived in the south of France after the Mean
derthalers and before the Aurignacians They
appear to have been nGgroid people similar
TO the present Australian Bushman. In
cavern containing remains of this race, near
Lourdes. in France. were found figures of
horse and two horses heads remarkably well
carved. Another interesting object left by
this people is an ivory torso of woman OF
very full form and general Hottentot shape.
1t is recalled that the Hottentots of South
Africa are to this day much given to fashion
ing little figures of clay of this kind, and
that the "Hotentot Venus" was of a similar
type of beauty.
The earliest artists who made wall paint.
ings were the Cro-Magnon race. who APP
peared after the Aurignacians had supplanted
the Ncanderthalers. and we're perhaps related
to the former, The Cro-Maguon people were
giants in stature The remains found show
that many of them we're over six feet high
1t is in the valley of the Vezere in the De
paTtment of the Dordogne, France. that most
of the wall paintings of the Cro-Magnon
people, the earliest paintings made by man,
have been found. They were probably made
about 100000 years ago These pictures rep
resent bisons. horses. asses, wild boars, red
deer and all the animals of the epoch.
The first lamp was found in the cave OF
La Mouthe, in the Dordogne. 1t is made of
red sandstone and has the head of an ibex
engraved upon its lower side. 1t is surpris
ing that the prehistoric artists we're able to
sufficiently well in the caves in which
they lived and worked to accomplish their
tasks. 1t seems that the work carried
out for the most part by the flare of smoke
fires and 1t is certainly remarkable that the
outlines of the creatures were so often SO
true to nature. The introduction of lamps
must have been an enormous advantage for
them.

the left hand. The presence of these objects
is particularly interesting as indicating a be
lief in tho life beyond the grave AT this eX-
ceedingly early period of human existence.
This grave is said by Professor Won But
tel-Reepen to date from the second inter,
glacial period and to belong to what is known
as the Acheulean age of the Neanderthal race
in France The professor says that a mod
crate estimate would place the date of the in
terment at 10000 years before Christ, while
other authorities consider it more than twice
as old as that
The Neanderthal man could speak very lit
tie and his language was probably confined to
rude grunts and yells and gesticuations with
the hands. A skull of the Neanderthal race
found at La Chapelle aux Saints in France has
given a particularly good idea of the talk
ing powers of the man of that age The
third lobe OF the brain had left clear i'm
preston on the inside of the skull and the
brain form is seen to be very similar 10 the
corresponding lobe in the orangoutang the
ape with the most highly developed brain. 1t
seems, therefore, that i'll spite of the large
size of his brain this primitive man from the
south of France can have possessed but very
feeble mental powers If it be true, as Pro
lessor Paul BrOca contends, that the third
lobe OF the brain is the part which controls
the function of speech, then we must con
clude that this man could scarcely talk
The Neanderthalers were short ssturdily
built race standing about five feet three
inches. They had short legs, arms of me-
dunn length and were probably very hairy
They walked upright, but bent forward in
marked manner. They clothed themselves in
skins and roamed about armed with great
wooden cudgels They lived in hordes. and
probably no definite tribal organization was
developed at that time, but no doubt the
strongest male held the position of leader
They had low foreheads. enormously project
ing eyebrow ridges and broad projecting
jaws. The nose was very broad at the base
and had snoutlke appearance This type
of nose is now found among the Australian
Bushmen.
The Neanderthal man had learned the use
of fire, an advantage not possessed by the
men of the tertiary period. This and the i'm
provement in stone implements made the
struggle for existence less terribly severe
There was no marriage in the Neandertha
period and the woman was regarded as the
owner of her children. Such relationship as
was recognized must have been purely mat

tions.
Since President Poincare was elect
ed he has been the guest of King
George in London and King Alfonso
in Madrid and in each case Madame
Poincare was not invited.
1t is well understood in Europe
that Madame Poincare wished to 20
on these visits and that she is still
striving to obtain recognition from
the foreign courts. She considers
that such social recognition is due
10 the dignity of her position and of
the French people who elected her
husband to be head of the nation.
President Poincares visit to Lon
don was a very popular affair. when
the British working classes hailed
with joy the alliance with the neigh
boring French democracy. Madame
Poincare would have been the most
popular figure in the celebration.
The French nobility, who still form
the predominant element in French
fashionable society. have helped 10
injure Madame Poincare'S position
abroad by sneering at her origin. Her
name was Henrietta Benucci and she
was formerly an Italian actress. Her
enemies also criticize her because
she was divorced from her first huS-
band. Her divorce was entirely free

Just How Earliest Man Looked How He Lived How He Payed
House. First Traps, First Paintings First Theatre First Dolls

The first human house builders belong to
the Cro-Magnon race. The earliest houses
were tents, but they gradually increased in
solidity until they became real houses. In
the Winter they lived in their caves, but
through the warmer season they found 1t
more comfortable to occupy tents. Strange
little structures are crudely represented on
the bodies of horses, mammoths and bisons
in Combarelles and Font de Gaume, two
famous caverns containing relics of this age
There seems to be no doubt that these struc
lures are tents. The supporting walls were
probably given by the hides of various ami
mails after the manner of tent construction
still in vogue among Eskimos and American
Indians.
The first dagger made by the men of
the Cro-Magnon race A dagger made from
reindeer horn was found among the remains
of these people in the cave of Laugere
Basse. 1t is about fifteen inches long, and
the handle is skilfully carved in the form of
a reindeer
The first actors also belonged to the Gro.
Magnon race. Very curious pictures have
been found in the cave called Abri de Mail
showing men of this age dressed up as ami.
mails. According to Professor Verworn and
other authorities these curious animal men
are hunters who dressed themselves in cha.
mois skins when stalking some quarry IN the
long jungle grass. Hunting, of course. had
been an occupation Of man from the first, but
this idea of dressing up like animals was
novel one, and the animal men we're in
sense the first actors 1t is probable that in
addition to using their costumes to deceive
the animals they gave exhibitions to amuse
their fellow men.
The Bushmen of South Africa until very
recently drew hunters dressed up in a similar
manner, and their drawings bear a striking
resemblance to those OF prehistoric man.
The Bushman race is extremely low one in
civilized sense, and we are impressed with
the fact that high artistic talent and a total
absence of civilization can go hand in hand
Above the sterile layer we meet with the
very superior stone implements of the Neo
lithic or New Stone" people. Tools and
weapons now have a well ground edge, but
the artistic productions which mark the end
of the ice age are missing. The artistic cuI-
ture seems to have vanished from Europe
with the retreat of the ice. and the few draw.
ings which were executed in the early
Neolithic period which followed the Adam
and Eve period are utterly crude and un
skillful This is a mystery which has not
vet been dispelled
Does it mean that the Neothic people

stock, from the Palaeolithic men?

from discredit to her. which cannot
be said of all the divorces obtained
by fashiOna bic women. She was I'M
happily married to a man who was
entirely unworthy of her Raymond
Poincare. then a middle-aged leader
of the bar, fell in love with her and
they were married as soon as she was
able to obtain divorce.
Madame POincare is very beauti-
full woman. much younger than her
husband. with very refined, SYM
pathetic and intellectual face. In
charm and distinction Of appearance
she would overshadow any of the
Queens of Europe. which may be one
reason why she is not welcomed at
court.
The French nobility. who have usu
ally boycotted the wife of the Presi-
dent, have shown some social court
estes to Madame Poincare. The Ducn
ess de Rohan and the Countess dc
Nun are among the prominent royal
list women who have attended the re
ceptions of the Presidents wife.
They have given her no assistance
in obtaining the recognition from
foreign courts which she believes to
be due to her. On the contrary. they
refer to her as one OF the incon-
veniences inflicted on France for be-
ing a Republic.
