may have found his way to the valley of the Nile,
only to be later extermnated by the superior races
who made historic Egypt More likely he was driven
out onto the cold, forbidding ice sheet, where his
prosecutors scorned to follow. There those of his
descendants who did not freeze starve became
the ancestors ofthe Eskimo AS the glacial ice sheet
began to melt they had to retreat with it to the
polar regions because they could not stand in battle
against these fearless and brany hunters of the
warm lands who followed the game right up to the

Stone age man prospered and multiplied at the ex-

Predmost than sixty other sites have been found
yielding relics of glacial man. Most interesting of
all in many respects are the caves.
Perhaps from that original Predmost community

that it was nothing to be afraid of and nice to lie
beside on cold nights. Also caves were good shelter
and of even temperature when the wind howled
down from the icy wastes just to the North.
A big winding cave, or, better yet, series OF
caverns stronghold against human enemies, for
these mighty hunters began to hunt each other,
as ever Any men who dared to rush into the bewil-
derng darkness of another famlys tribes cavern,
stood an excellent chance of never coming out alive.
Some of the caverns in which prehistoric men of
Morava lived for many generations were deep UNI
derground and could only be reached through sub
terraneah river 1t is clear that people that lived
in such horrors of darkness damp and inconvenience
must have done so in fear of determination from some
rival tribe.
The main cave district is in the vicinity of Brunn,
with its huge pit the Machocha (meaning step
mother), with four small subteranean rivers and
maze of underground tunnels and catacombs dec
Grated with dripping staactites. The Machocha is
a chasm 800 yards long by ITO deep and along its
floor flows the underground river Punkva. There
were many grisly legends about that strange hole in
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-27

At last, Prof Absoon discovered passages which
led from the distant valley through cavens dry

years ago walked and look upon the same vaulted

What life these poor creatures with their
women and children must have lived. and how they
did cling to life to be willing to spend it in the bowels
of the damp EARTH and how relentless must have been
the pursuit by their brother men. Such stout hearts
deserved to survive and can't help feeling that
they did If their brave blood runs in our veins
to-day 1t is coarse and brutal blood but it is not to
be ashamed Of for such blood cannot be conquered.
The most important of the caves connected with
the Machocha is the Kulna (the pent housed, tun-
mel about 800 feet long and 81 feet high. This
seems to have been used though the centuries as

underneath the fossil-bearing loamy soil,
called loess, lies stratum of earth valuable
for manufacturing certain kind of brick.
A brick kiln was erected, and the COM
pany, in stripping off the top soil, soon cut
into such nest of treasures of the past as
modern eye never saw. Fortunately Mr.. C.
Prikry, president of the concern, was quick
to realize that he had duty to the world
in addition to profits to his stockholders,
and had his men work under the expert eye
of Professor Absolon. This made the exca-
walton work expensive, but in the end the
company was paid for its public spirited
ness, because it advertised that brick yard
and created demand for its product.
Below the bones of the big beasts and
the skeletons and weapons of the mighty
race that killed them traces were found of
an even older and much feebler man who
was there before. We do not know just
when he came, but we know when he went
away and why. He used fire, ate fish and
small animals and had few very crude
