civilization.  The  most  advanced  implements  of  the
PalsDolithic  age  are  found  in  the  cave  of  La  Made-
laine;  in  this  cave  are  found  the  beautiful  bone  and
stone  carvings,  some  of  them  real  works  of  art,  others
of  great  palasological  interest ;  there  are  drawings
of  the  reindeer,  of  the  mammoth,  and  of  prehistoric
man  himself.  In  this  cavern  a  drawing  has  been  found
of  man  hunting  bisons  and  horses  ;  he  appears  to  have
surprised  the  herd  of  horses,  and  the  two  heads  of
the  bison  are  drawn  with  much  artistic  effect.  Before
we  leave  the  Cave  men,  let  us  consider  their  habits
and  their  progress  in  civilization,  so  far  we  can  gather
information  from  the  scanty  resources  afforded  to  us.
