AGE OLD FACTS) Rare Relics of Ice Age in Austria Come to Light Through Man's Hobby Vienna.-- Evidences of prehistor- fe lite of man and animal in the Ice Age are more or less abundant, in western Europe, especially in France, but in central and south- ern Europe they are extremely rare. The important results of ex- cavations which have been carried on in the Teufelslytke Caves, near Eggenburg, in lower Austria, therefore, are all the more valu- 'able. Mainly through a local resident, Josef Krahuletz, who was an archaeologist, hobby rather than by training; for more than half a century excavations were carried on which led to the discovery or the relies of Ice Age known to present- 'day natural science--great elks, mammoths, wild = horses, cave bears, cave hyenas, rhinoceroses with woolly hair, reindeer, etc. Further, small flint tools and knives were unearthed, not bigger than safety-razor blades but of such stone as has indicated to geol- ogists that either the primitive man who used them came from some far distant place where such flints are to be found or had con- nections with that district. Small heaps of charcoal excavated were recently examined microscopically by 'an expert, who has declared them to be the remains of coal which had been formed from tne donifers, now found in only the highest alpine regions. Thus clear proof was supplied of the extrem- ity of the climate 16,000 to 18,000 Years ago.

The excavations hitherto made in this cave, which seems undoubtedly to have served as a hunting station for prehistoric man, are all carefully preserved in the Krahuletz Museum at Eggen- burg.

FIVE DISTRICTS REPORT SNOW Quebec--Five different places 're- ported snow in the Province of Que- bec during the month of June. The Gouin. Dam in the Lake St. Peter region, headed the list, wtih a two- inch fall during the 30 days of the month, Amos, in the Abitibi, had one- tenth of an inch, while Thetford re- ported traces of snow. Manouane, al- so in thé Lake St. Peter district, ex- perienced one inch of snow during the month, while Metis, in the Lower St. Lawrence, a famous summer re- sort, also had one inch, On the other hand Thetford rang- ed to the other extreme, for, in addi- tion to recording traces of snow, it also registered the hottest day of the entire month, the mercury soaring to 96 degrees on June 20. Temperatures of 90 degrees were common during the month, while so were below free- zing marks, no less than 14 sectors reporting temperatures between 24 and 31 degrees above zero. Montreal experienced normal wea- ther during the month, with a maxi- mum temperature of 88.5, a minimum of 38.2 and an average of 64.5, while the rainfall of 5.75 inches was 2.19 below normal.

The . biggest snag of all in these preliminary Anglo-American discus- sions in all probability will be found to be Great Britain's inability to name any cruiser minimum which will meet her needs except under the assump- tion that France and Italy will re- duce their own building programs. What is puzzling the British ex- perts most of all at the present, . is how to fit the navy yardstick agree- ment with the United States with the British policy of sea supremacy in European waters, One result of these negotiations, though it will not come until a general naval conference is mooted, will probably. be a pro- nouncement that Great Britain, while adhering to the 5-5-3 ratio with the United States and Japan will not permit herself to become inferior to any possible European combination, Factors of Great Moment What that implies and what Mac- Donald is up against trying to. deal with the American desire for cruiser reductions, is best indicated by the following facts which imply factors of vast moment: The British navy, excluding de- stroyers and submarines, is at precs- ent dispersed throughout the world, based upon eight naval stations as follows: In home waters are four battleships and five cruisers with three battleships and four cruisers in! reserve. To this home fleet will he added in October four battleships from the Mediterranean. In the Mediterrancan," based on Malta, are nine battleships of which four, as stated, are being transferred to home stations, nine cruisers and four sloops. Two cruisers and four sloops are based on Cape Town, African station, the East Indian squadron is compos- ed of three cruisers and four sloops. On China station are six cruisers four sloops and 14 river boats, The Australian navy has four cruis- crs under Australian control, fortified by three cruisers and two sloops of the British navy on New Zealand station, Present Forces Insufficient These forces, thus distributed over iwdesroutes throughout the world, ac-, ding to the admiralty, are at pres- i insufficient to guard imperial in- sts \part from policing work, which upels dispersion of smaller cruis- . the strategic position in the Me- terrancan is highly relative to re- iciion plans, Five battleships, uisers and four sloops based on Malta after October have to be con- sidered in connection with the French and Italian fleets and programs.
