the drawings are so perfectly pre-

In the caves examined and photo

are usually made with red or yellow
pigments on the lght-colored sand

are two OF three sets Of drawings which
have been made one over the other with

A very interesting circumstances is
that some of the men are represented
as carrying bows. Col Werner thinks
that the pictures in one OF the Andaiu-
sian caves were intended to represent
hunting scenes. This is extremely in
lerestng. because the same motive is
found in many Of the drawings OF a
much higher artistic character that

men and women from the weaknesses
and sins which ruin their lives and

first. last, and all the time.
As an application to the world at

all spheres.
In il is found the solution for all
problems the balm for all wounds, the
redress for all wrongs. and the secret
of the universal and unparalleled sue

met an around the globe lies in the fact
that il has gone to the world with an

The steps that should be taken to
remedy this evil are more publicity, bet

begins TO draw rude figures Of men
and women. dogs. cats and horses, as
soon as it gets command Of slate and
a pencil so in the childhood Of our
race the pictorial genius Of humanity
showed itself by rude drawings and
rough paintings made on the walls Of
the caverns which were mems first per
manent homes
Within a few years past a great
number Of prehistoric cave pictures
have been brought 10 light. especially
in the lower slopes of the Pyrenees
mountains. on both the French and the
Spanish sides. and in the mountains of
southern Spain The reader can judge
from what he sees on this page of the
surprising nature of these pictures

Col Willoughby Werner is one of the
latest discOverers Of cave pictures in
Spain. and photograph Of them here

The pictures are not mere curiosities
but they throw light upon the char

The first thing that strikes the visi-

that appear like pits I'm the floor of the
ruin These chambers are called

filled the function of ceremonial rooms.
in Spruce Tree house there are approx
mateiy eight OF these rooms. which were
used by an estimated population of 100
persons. Back of these are the cham
bers or rooms which were occupied bv
the inhabitants of this ancient village.
The cave Is approximately 216 feet in
length and SO feet in depth at its widest
point. There are ia rooms in the vii
lage. some Of which were at one time

that at least Il of these rooms were
