the ot of morsels morsel a he h would punish the one who iho injured him ahra first by him lied am then by ea eating irks him all this has been proved conclusively by the dl di covery in prehistoric eaves caves recently unearthed near in bohemia of a great collection of 0 human liones bones which I 1 aich dr who n he hag bag made a careful examination ot of the relics relic declares to be the unmistakable debris of the cannibalistic feasts of prehistoric man in his report on the subject which has caused a great sens sensation atlon in scientific circles in europe dr Mat Matl leKka egita says the position in which chich the bones were found leaves no doubt that hat they A were nere the remnants of cannibal han banquets 1 1 I 1 examined many comp compartments artir it of nt the caves and in twelve of them then found human bones bone part of which comprised an the complete skeleton of a child tj culls and fragments of skulls thlin bones and arm hours holies parts of the human hitman jaw shoulder hones bones and pieces ot of llie be bones ot of the toot foot they seemed to be the remains of at least eight persons the skeleton of the child was perfectly preserved pres emed and on the edges of the bones i wore ere the unmistakable signs ot of the teeth that had gnawed at the bones ones in the dreadful feasal such teeth leeth marks could only have been made by a person perron biting greedily at the bone in picking oft the flesh on all the bones those these same significant mark were ere visible but a more important sign of 0 the use to which the remains had been put mas to be noted in the burnt ages of the bones which shoved clearly y that they had been cooked over a ere of cf ashes there was no possibility I 1 of mistaking the marks for the fire of a sacrificial burning bi a dialing the marks tainted pointed only to a fire 1 ire of ashes such auch as aa would hae haae been used for flonly slowly cooking flesh destined tor for eating purposes in one case the skull had been only burnt a g little and was in a perfect state of preservation on this skull the marks of the teeth were plainly to be ceen it may be contended can tended that the bones were ere burled buried in the usual way nay after death but the position of the remains as well mell as the tact fact that they were mere in such peculiar fragments proved this idea to be erroneous tor for the

who mho prepared the toast feast were missing except in the case of tho child chose w hose b body dy was probably cooked entire abnot another her circumstance that confirms this vi view ew Is that the bones and fragments were found mixed with the remains of earthenware jars that prehistoric roan man must have used tor for eating utensils still additional proof it was as found of the cannibalistic I 1 niba listic habits of prehistoric man in the tact fact that the skulls in every case had been opened e evidently q with ith the intention ot of extracting the brains which the tha eater of 0 human lean always con elders alders a dainty the manner in w m aich the bones were broken also disclosed the he tact fact that the diners had a liking for the marrow and the bones had been broken with the

bones that there could nt not be the slightest doubt about the breaking being done tor for the purpose of getting at the marrow so much importance ikas aa attached to this point that the bones were
