ing pastures and compelling animals to
seek food further south. Man had to fol-
low his larder What is more, he had to
accustom himself to more rigorous cli-
mate, which led to his patronizing caves.
Enforced leisure inspired him with a
great dread of the mysterious forces OF
nature that had thus deprived him of the
delights of an open air life and abundant
game, and this led to the practice of
magic as a means of propitiating or cir
cumventing these malignant forces.
Under the new conditions man was not
able to obtain the flints from which he
had evolved his earliest weapons. and
had to make them of bone or horn or
ivory. These have also been found bear

mammoth and hairy rhinoceros and other
beasts that were protected against the

IT is beyond dispute that human beings
of a highly developed order existed in
the Quaternary or Pleistocene period,
also known as the ice age and Palace
lithic or old stone age, which came to an
end more than 10000 years ago; 1t is
even declared that man must have lived
even in tertiary times-which brings us
into six figure observation-disclosures of
the advanced stage of his developments
in Quaternary days; indeed, the discov-
cry of worked flints in Pliocene deposits
near Ipswich in Suffolk, England, leaves
little doubt on the subject.
The discoveries in prehistoric caverns
indicate that whenever primitive man
had leisure time he devoted himself to

Strange to say, human figures when at

By ROBERT WILTON.


T was a little Spanish girl who made
the first discovery of prehistoric cave
n pictures; nearly half century later
some French boys found in a cavern a
group of bison modelled in clay-the
oldest piece of sculpture in, the world
The results of these youthful exploits
have largely contributed to the progress
recently made in our knowledge OF pre-
historic men, which lies at the root of
the very modern science of anthropology,
the centralizing organ of which, the
Institut International Anthropologique,
was founded by the Paris and Liege
schools only three years ago.
In a cave near her native city of San
lander the little Spaniard won fame.
With her father, who owned the land and
was interested in archaeology, she used
to go to the cave and sit near the en-
trance, reading book, while he searched
inside for relics which he suspected must
be there.
He had often told the girl that long,
long ago people must have lived in the
cave. One day, looking from her book,
she noticed a spot of color on the cell
ing; she looked more attentively, and
there, on a number of small projections,
she espied funny looking animals. At
once she recalled her fathers words and
ran to tell him. Those animals, which
were unlike any that she knew, were the
painted aurochs-wild, primeval cattle
which have since become famous all the
world over, along with prehistoric por-
traits of their human contemporaries.
But the immediate sequel of the adven-
ture was just as unexpected as the dis
covery itself When the Spanish savant
propounded the theory that these Won
derful colored drawings must have been
made by prehistoric men he was laughed
to scorn by the know-alls of his day.
In disgust he sealed up the cave and SAID
no more about it. The discovery of 1873
was forgotten, to be remembered only
when Prof Captain Of the Paris Ecole
d'Anthropologie and his pupils and asso-
ciates, NJ Peyrony and Able Breuil, early
in the present century made a series Of
equally astonishing finds in France. In
the valley of the Vezere, around Les
Eyzies including the famous caves of
Font de Gaume and Combarelles and the
rock shelters of La Ferracie, LIE Moustier,
La Madelaine and others, that have
placed prehistoric research on new and
fascinating basis
Later still the sons of Comte B6gouen,
a noted French archeologist, discovered
the wonderful Tue d'Audubert cavern.

small and cannot afford to do otherwise.
The wagon shows rarely conflict with
each other. Their agents do not travel
so far ahead as the agents of the large
shows, and they are able, if necessary, to
switch dates that will insure exclusive
territory.
Within the last few years large num7
Der of two-car circuses have sprung up,
taking the place of the old-time wagon
shows, although not entirely. One circus
manager, E. H. Jones, has had as many
as six of these two-car circuses on tour
in a single season. Just now he is oper-
ating two, the Cooper Brothers circus
and the Cole Brothers circus.
The practice for these two-car circuses
is that one car be used for the members
of the troup, as a combination dining and
sleeping car, while the other car is used
for the equipment. Recently l saw the
unloading of one of these two-car circus
baggage cars and it was amazing what
was carried.
Out of this car came one elephant, one
camel, four cages of wild animals, two
baggage, wagons, eight horses, six ponies,
one mule, main circus tent with COM
plete outfit of seats, poles, stakes and
rigging, a dressing room tent, about
thirty trunks, a sideshow outfit, an cleo
trio light plant, a troup of trained dogs
some trained pigs, duck or two for the
clowns and what not. This circus loaded
and unloaded it's equipment every day,
although it required much more handling
than ordinarily is the custom with the
modern large circus, which loads its
equipment on wagons and then loads its
wagons on the train,

were innumefabIe marks of bears claws
and fur as if the animals had been i'm
prisoned there and tried to climb out. A
heap of bears skeletons was found in an
adjoining chamber The CANNES had
been removed from every jaw which had
been smashed for this purpose. The skull
of one animal had been attached 10 the
wall, and there it had been glued by
stalagmite.
Around the heap of bones were human
heel prints, forty of them-all small and
B apparently made by women as we'll as
t3men. These marks had also been pre-
served by stalagmitic film. Scientists
have since agreed that these people be-
longed to the Eskimo-like prehistoric
race known as the Magdalenians, which
was first identified and studied at the
above mentioned rock shelter Of La Made
ieine. A characteristic Magdalenian
scraper and knife were found near the
bone heap.
In treading only on their heels they
had evidently been initiating the bears,
for ritual or magic purposes, after sac
rificing tie animals. Around the heel
marks was a network of curved, inter-
secting lines made by human fingers in
the fiat, yielding clay, which confirms the
view that magic rites of some sort had
been practiced there by the men and
women of the primitive race. The bear
dance of the Red Indians and the bear
ceremonies practiced by the hairy Amos
of Japan recall these earlier rites.
The most remarkable discovery of all
was made at the end of the halls and
galleries, a distance of some 500 yards
from the river landing, IN small,
chapel-like chamber, resting against
stalagmite altar, were two clay figures,
modelled in high relief, Ga and 63 cent?
meters in length, representing male
and female bison. The bulls tail and
one horn had fallen to the ground; other
wise the figures were perfect and repre-
sent to this day the finest known specl-
men of pleistocene art.
Those early sculptors seem to have
worked very much like their modern
brethren, first kneading and rolling the
CLAW into convenient lengths then max
ing a rough outline, which they reduced
and modelled with the help of their
fingers. These various stages of produc-
ton are all in evidence at Tue d'Adubert

Long hours afterward, when they had
already been given UP for lost by the
superstitious peasantry, they returned

a long account to their father, from which
he gathered that the cavern concealed

ditry is an established custom In China
and in the old monarchical regime was a

tribute from the inhabitants and in turn
give them protection from marauderS

This is virtually all the government
they have, and, as the Chinese people
generally are a peaceful, harmless lot, it
is all the government they need. Bandit

A Friend of Goats

TYEE goat in Europe has long had
bad reputation as destroyer OF
vegetation. 1t has even been al
legged that the goat is responsible for the
continuous sterility of the steppes of Asia
and of central Africa, since it devours
the shoots of all plants and is able to live
where almost any other kind of animal
would starve. But one investigator holds
that the goat has been misunderstood and
misrepresented and that its good quail
ties so far outweigh the bad that a sys
tematic effort should be made for the
reorganization" Of Europe. One of the
strongest arguments for the goat is the
excellence and abundance of its milk,
which possesses the great advantage over
cows milk that it is not affected with
tuberculous infection and can safely be
used in fresh state by children and
invalids.
