These pictures are from an 1890 book I saw. What are the green/black lines on the page edges? I don’t know much about old books, and I assume it’s mold or mildew. Can it be fixed?

Have chimps ever fought each other with spears? Is there any evidence that they've used spears in war?
I'm aware that they use spears to hunt bush babies, and that they'll use clubs or throw rocks when fighting other chimps. So, is there photo/video, papers on the topic, or any other evidence at all, of Chimps using spears (either stabbing or throwing) when in fights with other individuals of their species (or with any other animal)?
I imagine that they may not be as capable with a spear as a rock or club due to their musculature or their smaller brains, but it doesn't really seem like that much of a stretch to guess that there could have at least been some instance of spear usage by chimps aside from hunting very small game.
They may also be capable of it, but there's just no evidence or recorded instances. What do you all think?

The Son of Man (First Poem)
Oh you, who has on you no scars.
You, who lives for the good of men!
Oh you, who has never known sin.
You, who dies for the good of men!
Oh you who wallows not in prison,
You who never knew despair.
Oh you who always knew hardship,
And never gave under their glare.
Oh you, who fought for great goodness,
On earth, as well as in the air.
You, who felt well the pain,
But never did you crumple there.
Oh you, who dies now for sins,
Of which not a one you had done.
Forever shall you lie,
Beneath that slab of stone.
Forever shall you stand,
Beside the god of men.
Forever shall men know,
The deeds of the son of man
