Paris, France Oct e3-There are
evidences that the upward movement
OF rentals in Paris has received a last

Before the war in the quarter where
commerce in Injuries flourishes par

a tenant He simply marked up the
rentals 10 percent iu anticipation of the
expiration OF the lease and waited for
his customer he was never obliged to

features Of these same quarters is the

there advertise an apartment or a store

for themselves alone as for what they
represent Similar monuments exist in
various parts of Europe, north Africa
the Mediterranean Islands, and west

They all appear to belong to an early
period Of human development. which
might be called the megalithic, or big
stone age. with as much propriety as
we speak Of the old stone" the new
stone" the copper the bronze and
the iron ages.
The term ''megalithic monuments"
is applied to all Of these strange OBJ
5ects, and some archaeolOEists are dis
iithic people, or race, which spread
widely over the Old World at some IN
dated epoch Of the remote past and
whose chief Characteristic was the
habit Of erecting rough structures COM
posed Of huge stones. including some
blocks Of so great size and weight that
we cannot but wonder how they were
handled and poised without the aid Of
modern machinery
At Stoneheuge, for instance. there arc
great stones more than 20 feet in
length, firmly set up on end. and
crowned at the top with cross blocks
