art Even the pristine colors are preserved, for
the darkness and dryness of these lofty
caves have contributed to the preservation
of these priceless pictures, which would
have mouldered and vanished long years
ago had they been placed in damp, low-lying
caves, or had the sunlight reached them to
fade their brightness.
The horse is drawn in many positions, and
in the section of the cave which the discov-
erers have called ''Horsemen Cave" are
very many drawings of men showing that
they probably understood how to domesti-
cate and ride the horse, as well as hunt him
down, though no pictures actually illustrate
a man on horseback, which might have
proved too difficult a task for the primitive
artist, sklfu as he was, even though he had
to be content with picture of horse with
two arrows driven through his neck
The scholars who have studied these pict-
ures report that they are very numerous and
that when all of them have been copied and
published an entirely new and startling
light will be thrown upon the life and capac-
ity of the earliest of European men and
women. We may learn that they were not
nearly so inferior to modern man as some
have supposed, and that for their time. and
under the conditions which surrounded them
they accomplished much that would be i'm
possible for the highly intellectual man OF
to-day who would lack their ingenuity and
adaptiveness
The discovery made at any, other time
would already have been received with
great acclaim, but in the uproar of the war
the value of this "fnd'' has not been fully
appreciated When the complete results are
given to the world which will not be for
year or two, peace will probably have come
so that we shall have the time and oppor-
tunity to appreciate the real value of these,
the most ancient pictures that the world can
have.

that is being most

may learn what was

have numerous dark markings which
give them notified appearance. They
are about one-eighth of an inch in
length and half as wide.
The manner in which they Jump
from plant to plant is much like that
of grasshoppers.
The primary injury is produced by
the direct feeding of the leafhoppers.
The single tiny feeding puncture is
itself inconsequential, and injury re-
suits only when a great number Of
leafhoppers attack the same plant.
The clover leafhopper is distributed
generally throughout the United
States, records showing it's occurrence
in every section Of the country. It's
range also includes southern Canada
and Mexico.
The number of generations of the
leafhopper produced annually in a CIV
en- locality varies from year to year,
depending on weather conditions, and
it also varies in different ATTITUDES and
climates. For southern Missouri and
northern Arkansas there are usually
three distinct broods covering APP
proximately D April and May, (2)
June and July, and 90 August and
September. Farther south or under
subtropical conditions it is probable
that there are four or more.
Merely Hide in South
In the northern states the clover
leafhopper hibernates in the adult
stage, at the base of clumps of grass
and weeds and under dried leaves and
trash. Throughout the central and

southern states it could hardly be said
to hibernate; instead, the adults mere
~ keep In hiding and under cover dur
ing cold weather, coming out on warm
days to bask in the sun and feed upon
such green foliage as can be found.
In Missouri, for example, the adult in
sects have been observed feeding upon
wheat during January and February,
but not in any abundance. Nymphs
cannot long survive cold weather, and
1t is not probable that eggs survive
over winter In the extreme South
west, where conditions are radically
different, the leafhopper is active
throughout the entire year.
The adults are quick of movement
and jump from plant to plant when
disturbed. When strong winds pre-
vail they remain in hiding, as they
seem to dislike windy weather Their
most characteristic habit Is that of
congregating in great numbers on one
plant, frequently to such an extent
that they crowd one another. This is
what causes the concentrated attacks
in spots" throughout field The
clover leafhopper does not seem to
seek shady or damp places, rather pre-
ferring the heat of the midday sun.
Nymphs Not Active.
The nymphs are much less active
than the adults and are not easily dis
turbed. When one brushes against
the plants they cling fast to the stems
and leaves instead of jumping to an
other plant.
For direct control the hopperdozer
is recommended. Any form of this de-
vice that is suitable for grasshoppers
will do for the clover leafhopper as
well, but much lighter and less ex-
pensive one can be made for the small
er insects by stretching canvas over a
wooden frame. This can be made Of
such light weight that 1t will not in
jure the alfalfa and clover plant when
it is pulled over field. Two horses,
one hitched at either end, are used
for drawing It. On the Inside of the

but form a distinct denomination and
also maintain certain degree of in
Iendence of the Turkish government.
According to the report, the occupy
ing forces did great damage to the
buildings of the See and the Germans
removed to Berlin the priceless libr-
airy, which contained ancient manu-
scripts and books of great historic
value. The Patriarch and his house
hold are reported to be prisoners in
the palace, surrounded by Germans
and Turkish troops.
From the same source it is learned
that court martial in Aleih, Syria,
has condemned to death and executed
sentence upon the Archbishop of the
Greek Catholic Church in Acre, or
Aka, known in the New Testament as
Ptolemais. This place is often called
