FIND IN CHINESE CAVE.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN.—COPYEIGHT.]
(Received November 13, 11 a.m.) PEKIN, November 12.
Dramatic discoveries ■were made in a cave forty miles from Pekin, which yielded the famous million yeai' fossil Pekin man. The discoveries show that the first inhabitants of the cave were prehistoric baboons, an extinct species of hyaena and other fabulous beasts. After the Pekin man, came another man, the earliest example of the modern type. Traces of industry were found, also primitive implements of great beauty, including a fox tooth necklace, and there was a. little of the human touch in a bone needle, used by remote ancestors.
