RELICS FOUND IN FRANCE.
SEARCH OF ANCIENT CEMETERIES,
Old France, of the stone and bronze ages, is being dug up at five spots where achaeologists have discovered traces of ancient life near Toulouse.
Old cemeteries, one where urns of ashes were buried and another where interment was in sarcophagi have been found near Medan by local scientists. The cremation urns are attributed to the end of the bronze and the beginning of the Gallo-Roman periods.
A neolithic monument has been uncovered by another group near Clot-dcl-Fournat, an ancient signal tower at Mamelon-d'Ayroles, and various other objects of past ages in other hitherto spots.
