DESIGN SEW m m, -. lad Leads to the Belief That the Eace Is Katural Product. GBIDATHHfS IN THE HUMAN USE rwBrrrsif fob the iipjltch.j A sphere, 8,000 miles in diameter, and whirling through space with a Telocity of 68,000 miles an hour and distant from the sun near 93,000,000, around which it males a journey once in a little more than 3C5 days this is our earth. Another of its motions is that of its daily revolution on its axis, causing day and night, and as near ts ire may know these motions are the re cult of influences exerted from the sun itself Externally, the noticeable feature is its three parts of water and ice Burfaee to one oi land. As a product in the line of worlds, in point of size, the sphere under considera tion seems rather diminutive, but as it has attained to great condensation and sustains a high order of organic development, in that particular, iti rank is probably fair. It beirs the credentials of a great natural product, created by natural forces and con trolled by natural law. WITEBE MAN THEIVES BEST. If created on an expressly or exception ally pre-arranged or ore-designed plan, as a stage on which man should exploit himself, in contradistinction from other spheres in space, with which we may form some ac quaintance, or, if created as an illustration of especial adaptatior to man's particular accommodation, then, in the path of this conclusion. an insurmountable economic problem presents itself. Of all the area on this sphere of 2o,000 miles of circumference, hardly more than two per cent is adapted to evolv ing man to his highest estate. The vast polar areas are valueless: the tropical zona teems to beget an invincible indolence and onlv two relatively small strips of land surface in the Xorth and South Temperate roses, are climatically so conditioned, a to produce in auv sene, a morally and intel- j Jeetnally respectable human creature. There" is, in truth, but littleof that, worthy of beinc designated as civilization, to he lound south of the equatorial line. It is true that man has disposed himsel.' over a wide ranee of latitude on the earth, but he presents himself collectively in a moss aaanelous diversity of ethnological aspectx He presents a variety of hues and shades of color nd, when measured by any fair standard of util.ty, he provokes the reflec tion that just what he as hers for at all is not altogether clearly mad s manifest. The bulk of man that seem to project above this utilitarian line, seems so small and the great mass seems so low down, that the careful student is perplexed in trving to discover where the lower extremitv of man terminates, as no particularly well-defined line is pre sented, that separates or defines him from the immediate horizon below him. 2IAN IS A NATUKAIi PBODUCT. Of course, the race is now being consid ered as a whole aad not partially, as to di visions, nor as to the higher products of parts of divisions. Viewed thus generally, the evidence fail to show that the earth is especially contrived with a view to the producti n of the largest body of human beincs, approximating to something like intellectual ripeness, but, on the other band, the evidence presents itself rather forcibly, that man is simply the product of strictly natural forces, and takes the varied hue of the varied factors that produced him. One may see, in glancing alonjj the line from the. prettv mature Caucasian, down through the scale to the Ion er African, a most interesting anthropological ex hibit. It is almost necessary to refrain from glancing too far down the column. lest we be confronted with the ev'dence that, at one stage of the joirney, far back in the line of the aces, the genus homo was rather sug gestively handy as a quadruped. Certain it is that the lower eud of this column merges into a plane where the creature seems to be too much animal to be strictly human and ret too human to be entirely animal. But is the man we are "considering pro gressive? In the correct answer to this question hinges tne solution to important problems. EVIDENCES OF EVOLUTION. He is either progressive, or he is not. If he be not progressive, then the line as it stands cow, stands as it has always stood and always must stand, so long as it stands at all, and all attempts to elevate the lower end, or indeed any part of the column, must be forever futile. Conversely, if man be progressive, as seems undoubtedly to be the met, it follows then, that he must have progressed from, and has now at tained to, a etace which be did not pre viously pows. If this be true, we may con clude thatthe Caucasians, atonestageol their journey, must have passed the plane of their ext neighbors just below them. But those neighbors, in like manner, must also have paed, in their progressive march, the horizon of their next lower congeners, and so, in turn, must all the races and sub races along this column have done, down to tho lowest that we dare call human. Then what7 It seems inevitable that the very lowest humans those who repose on the almost, if not entirely undistinguish able horizon must, at one stage of their journey, have passed the plane of the clearly defined animals just below them. And still the singular line presents its continuity on down through gradation after gradation, from the JBfi'eimalial through all the transformations denn to the radiates, terminating only in the scarcely conscious atom. TEACHINGS OF PALEOXTOLOGT. This is the record impressed on the pa Jeontological pages as they cover the ceno roic, the roesozoic, the paleozoic, the eozoio and azoic aes, to the lowest boundary of organic life. Viewed in this way, the relationship of an to his environment takes on much less of the "hue of mystery, and problems that otherwise seem inexplicable vanish into nothingness. If we carefullv examine into the exhi bition of mentality as disclosed along this very slowly progressn e procession, we shall find", that, at whateier point wo may pause to make a survey, the same general philoso phy impels and governs mental action. Between the loner animal that pil lages another's storehouse, or feasts on the carcass of a helpless victim and the higher animal that proceeds with calculating craft to dispossess his fel lows of their means, or adroitly raids a pub lic treasurv, the respective acts are much less dissimilar in degree than in mere method. Surprise is sometimes expressed, and an attempt has been made to clothe the fact with much bignificancc, that man has not been called on to contribute his fossil im prints to the rocky structure of the earth. This is tr le, but it is due to the simple rea son that he uss not and could not have been present so early in the creative season. He was not here until the cenozoic leat in the creative olume of nature was turned and the mammalial order had been firmly estab lished, to which he should serve as super structure. KO EXEMPTIONS FOE. MAN. Man's exemption from the earlier cata clysmic violence, is then not due to any vperior consideration that his presence v.e-uld evoke from the operations of nature, lor, as soon as he came and wheresoever he put in an appearance, he shared to the full 'Bt w ith his companion . animals, all the pains and penis that environed them.

N. FAULTS OF THE CONFEDEEACT. Opposed to Centralization, It Became Mora Centralized Than the North. It was remarked that the Confederate Congress was a place for men to lose the reputation which they had previously ac quired in "Washington, says Albert Bush nell Hart in the Aia Englcmi Magazine. President Davis Cabinet was made ud in great part of feeble or incapable men. One Secretary of "War, Mr. Sedden, excited great dissatisfaction because it was found he had fixed an official price of MO per bushel for wheat, and then had sold his own wheat to the Governmjnt at that en hanced price. lb the subordinate depart ments of government, incapacity was almost the rule. The Southern Confederacy, formed as a protest against the alleged centralizing ten dencies of the United States Government, suffered a greater degree of centralization than its rival in "Washington. The con scription of troops was carried to such a de cree that Governor Brown, of Georgia, re fused in set terms to permit the Confederate recruiting officers to exercise their func tions within his Stats. In December, 1892, was made a leve en masse of the able-bodied male population between tbe ages of 18 and 45. The familiar fact that since tqe Civil "War, men connected with the Confederate army have been preferred in the elections in the South is due not so much to a wish to show them honor, as to the fact that al most every man of anv force of character was compelled by public sentiment to enter the army. Chirographic Expert Evidence. An interesting application of chronopho tograpby, the process by which in stantaneous pictures are produced of object' in rapid motion, has been made in S Petersburg to the handwriting of severa persons. In this way, as two or more pic tures of tbe hand can be taken while on letter is being written, the elementary mns cular impulses of the hand are clearly per ceived. It is found that as these impulses are subject to the nervous condition of the writer, the writing for the appearance and expressiveness of character depends more on the temperament of the writer than on anything else. The results of the investi gations made show that the opinions of chirographic experts on the identity of handwritings are in many cases erroneous. It is clearly proved that under certain nervous conditions various persons may produce writings that are identical In char acter, while one person may atone time write in a quite different manner another.
