KNEW USE OF THE CEREALS
Evidence That People of tho Stone Age Did Not Live Exclusively on
 Animal Food.

There is nothing to indicate that the men of the later stone age did not have buckwheat pancakes for break fast It has been learned that not only buckwheat but many other grains of the present day, such az corn, bar ley, flax. rye and oats, formed an i'm portant part of the daily bread con stunned by the people of the latter half of the stone age. known as the neo- nthic epoch.
 It is generally admitted that the men of the age of hewn stone were hunters With Asiatic invasions the manner of living changed The neo- lithics began to raise domestic ani- mals and to cultivate certain species of plants, the remains of which are still to be found.
 Corn is the most ancient plant known Scientists have observed samples of 1t in the celebrated layer of the Mas d'Azil. or end of the hewn atone period.
 IL is believed that this kind of plant is essentially of Asiatic origin. It could have been brought into Europe by nerolithtc invaders. Egyptian wheat has also been found. Barley Is also pretty frequent. being repre- sented by six distinct varieties. On the other hand, rye and oats were known. but were rare. Flax was rep resented by different kind from the present species.
 The other plants of that age were probably gathered in wild state. Fruits were generally cut in quarters and dried; such as certain little spe- cies of apples and pears.
