WHO MADE THE
ALPHABET

II II takes a genius to make
great words, II was also a genius
who made the alphabet which
makes the words. The pedigree
OF our alphabet can be traced con-
tinuously for nearly three thou
sand years, and then comes a hia-
tus, says a recent writer. The
genesis OF writing must naturally
be sought in pictures. Caveman,
when he painted his women or
beasts on rock walls, or carved
elks and elephants on antlers and
tusks. was laying the foundations
OF one OF the great human inven-
lions. Behind all this apt artistic
effort we must see some esoterio
motive, for 1t was not due merely
to the striving of the creative soul
after expression. Doubtless, adds
our authority, when caveman held
an exhibition of his works, his
friends praised the ingenuity and
beauty OF his pictures, but there is
something more than the desire
OF simple reproduction hidden in
his handiwork-
