...North Africa in 1912, Professor Frobenius opened up the richest continental deposit of cave paintings and engravings. It was already known that in Magdalenian times some artist had smeared iron oxide on a cavern wall at Altamira, in north Spain.

In Khotsa Cave, 5,000 mi. from Spain in Basutoland, South Africa, Anthropologist Frobenius found the Altamira bison's twin. The long-legged silhouet of a wildly...
Feared and hated by museum keepers the world over are those psychopaths whose muddled mentalities lead them to slash at paintings on display.

Ex-Watchman Joseph Cassidy admitted he had knifed a portrait of Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother...
Since Illinois law gives a court no right to take an animal from its owner, the justice gave Mrs. Whittle her choice of paying a $200 fine and keeping her dogs, or paying $1 and turning them over to Mrs. McLaughlin.

He was only 24 when the Moscow 'Grand Opera asked him to be its first violin. Two years later he lit out of Russia, went to Manhattan, placed first in a contest of 500 violinists and got a chance to solo with the Philharmonic. Walter Damrosch made Mischakoff concertmaster of the New York Symphony, now defunct. Stokowski took him to Philadelphia, whence Frederick Stock...
