THE DAILY B i {Chapter 8.--Stome Pointed Spears. | Yesterday we spoke of some of |the animals which Stone Age people [feared. We mentioned the saber- tooth tiger, the mammoth and the | big-horned rhinoceros. Those were terrible enemies, but there were still | others, | On the faces of cliffs and on the | sides of hills were many caves. In [these lived Hons and bears! | The cave-bear was a ferocious |creature. It wns even bigger than | bears of today. It had strong, sharp | teeth, and claws which could make |sreat gashes in the flesh of a man. {It a person happened to walk near ithe mouth of a cave, one of these cave-bears was likely to rush out and | tear him to pleces. The weapons men then used ware not good enough | for, fights with such an animal. The cave-lion was just as fierce. People had always to be on their guard against it, as well as the cave- bear. Life must have been full of |terror for everyone. | By thinking they got the idea of |a better weapon, of a weapon which could be used to glay bears and lions. {This weapon was the spear with a Istone point. Before it was devised, ja sharpened stick had been used as {a sort of spear--but the point was {not strong enough. | A clever hunter hit upon the idea jof putting a stone point on a wood- |en spear. He knew that stone was {much tougher than wood. This hunter cut off the wooden {point of his spear. By Uncle Ray Next, he picked up a sharp-pointed stone, and pushed it into a hollow he had cut at one end of the stick. Using animal tendons or strips o. skin, ho bound fast the stone. At last! Man had the stone-point- ed spear. After that people were not so much in fear of the cave-lions or the cave-bears. In fact, hunters even went out in search of these beasts to kill them for food. hunter plunging his trusty into the body mouth of a cave. Next--Moving Into Caves. (Copyright John F.

But a Strong Southeast Wind Would Clear It. In spite of the fact that the har- bor is still in the grip of King Win- ter, the local mariners are jubilant as to the prospects for the opening of navigation at an early date. They state that thé"ice, while fairly thick, is in bad condition and that many "alr-holes" have been moted during the past few days. The main section of the ice is honey-combed to such an extent that a good south wind would break up the large body and make way for an entire clearance of the harbor. The action of the sun end wind during the past week bas had a tell- ing effect on the ice between the city and Wolfe Island. Outside of the land-locked harbor, and in the open gap to the southwest open water prevails throughout. The passage from the island to Kingston is a very difficult one at present and some nar- row escapes from a tumble through the treacherous ice, or worse, have been experienced. ---- Dr. Freeman, Inverary, was in icity en' Monday. . : NA A -------- cold, they will get overheated and; Nr * IDISTRICT MARKETS + Napanee Retail Market.

The Dean of Ontario, preaching on "Burden Bearers," in St. George's Cathedral on Sunday evening, refer- red to the work of the Red Cross, that splendid organization which stood behind our soldiers during the long years of the war, bringing com- fort and healing to their bodies afd making many a man's religion more real to him through the symbol that stood for Christian Jove. Those men who came back to us unable to take up life's active duties, often forgot- ten by a grateful (?) country, were helped and cheered by the Red Cross. To the emergency call from fire-stricken Northern Ontario the Red Cross also responded nobly.
