LOW IN SCALE OF HUMANITY
Cave Dwellers In the Canary Islands
Practically Live as Do the
Wild Animals.

Principal cave-dwellers' settlements
In the Canaries are at Atalaya. In the
island of Grand Canary. The name
means the Giants burrow," and
from Il distance the place closely re-
sembles rabbit-warren or Il honey
comb swarming with bees. The caves
are more or less In terraces on the
side of a steep rock, overlooking
glen and river bed. Atalaya supplies
the entire group of the Canaries with
clay pots, every cave having its own
set of rude appliances for making
pots, and the people display great In
genuity and quickness in the work.
Men. women and children squat about
at the entrances to their caves, knead-
ing the clay with their hands into
elegant jars and using their finger
nails to apply decorative lines.
These troglodytes, or cave dwellers.
are almost like wild animals, having
no morals, and very little clothing to
boast of. During the summer the
the woman wear the shortest OF skirts.
They are probably the last remnants
of the aborigines of Grand Canary,
who are known to have lived In caves
800 years ago. The cave dwellers are
very different from the rest OF the
islanders. who look upon them as
pariahs and would as soon think of
intermarrying with monkeys as with
them.-Wide World Magazine.
