THIS THROWS DOUBT OX. DESIGN

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.
Viewed anthropologically, man's position
on the earth does notappcafasacpeoalact of

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.
