to suggest further exploration of the cave
and of the neighborhood
In accordance with his suggestions the
floor of the cave was dug over, and many of
the pots and pans, the utensils and tools used
by the earliest human inhabitants of Spain
were brought to light. In fact, some arch
biologists hold that these were probably the
very first men in Europe, for the biologists
state that Spain was one of the first sections
of Europe to appear above sealevel, and to
be inhabitable by land animals.
On these lofty cliffs, which ages ago were
not nearly so far above the level of the
rivers, the earliest men in Europe lived and
loved, hunted and fought, painted their lives
upon the rocky walls of their homes, and
dying had buried with them some of their
most precious arms and belongings. Some
of these tumuli, or grave-mounds
were discovered and opened showing that
these were indeed men and women of the
early stone age long before the use of metals
had been discovered In fact, one human

may not hear until after peace is declared
but once in while some news does come

the account Of some very startling discover

the reconstructing of the life history of pre-
historic man.
1t was in the Province of Castellon, one Of
the most Eastern districts of Spain. near the
town of Tirig, that these discoveries were
made, just the other day. Tirig is pictur-
esque mountain-village, with few hundred
inhabitants of which hardly any one has
heard, unless we except those who remember
that lt played some part in the late civil
Spanish war. 1t is surrounded by noun
famous district, with high cliffs, great tor
rents and deep valleys.
1t has been known for some time that val
liable historic remains of the Roman period
and some remarkable medieval monuments
were scattered over this district and it was
for careful study of these that Professor
francisco Polo and Professor Anttimo
Bosca, of the Institute of Castellon went to
the district to make photographs and draw
ings of all that they could find. IT was no
easy task for they had to make their own
paths IN many parts of the country and thew

effort to discover all that might remain of
Roman or Middle Age civilization.
They had climbed one of the hiphes.
cliffs, thinking that they saw dark shadow
indicating some cave or other which MIGHT
hold the remains for which thew were
searching After weary hours of ascent
they found the entrance to cave, so over
grown as to prove that it had not been en-
tered for many years, perhaps for many
centuries Hewing their way through the
underground they found themselves at the
entrance of huge cave with high. overarch-
Ing ceiling, and on all the walls paintings

and color. At once they recognized the i'm

Descending to the town of Tirig they has
tened to send news of their discoveries to
the Academy of History, the centre of his
tor1cal studies for Madrid and Barcelona
and the authorities, seeing how important
the discovery was lost no time in sending
some OF their experts to investigate the cave
and examine all that might be found there
before any one else could hear of the dis
covery.

HE legends Of mermaids are almost
universal, and even in modern times
we have the stories of sailors as to
the charming powers of these miraculous
combinations of beautiful woman and fish.
The student of origins in trying to go
back to the very earliest type of this idea
finds that the ancient Babylonians had their
fish-god who informed Noah that the flood
was about to come on the earth, and that the
Philistines who gave the name Palestine to
the Holy Land, had deity, Dagon--the Fish

fish the figure of the fish often combined

But very soon the mermaid passed from

the earliest form, and that almost univer-

we most often think of it.
