HALL.
Professor Cunning delivered the last Of
his regular series ot geological icrtegrs TIT
DIshAway Hall last eycning before large
audience, the subject being "Thc Origin
and Destiny of the Rice oI Man, Be.
fore entering upon the subject, the Pro-
tcssat announced that IN Tuesday evening
Emma IlnrIinge Britain wouId deliver a
lecture on "rAc Magicaus of lndin,' and
that hc himself, in response to numerous
requests, would dcliyertwo more lectures
on the following subjects; "What
Science viii. do for Man Physically, or
the Cause and Cure OF Poverty and
what Science VIII do for Man Rclig-
iously, ar the Ca1sc and Cure OF super

discussion oi his subject, saying; Many

ed tlar mnn. the world over, varies with
the animal Kingdom about him, and
that each raCG.typc is Co-GXtensive with
each animal type But the range Of
variation is greater than he thought, or
the science IA his day was able to show.
Animals take their color from their hab.-
itat; us for instance, the lion ranges over
an arid, yellow co0ntry, and is tawny in
color. and the wren takes the color of the
fields in which it lives. The late dlscov-
cries of Schwcinfurtb in Central Africa,
have carried this truth among men. lie
found race OF men on the White Nile,
never before heard of, who are something
like the negro, but are not black. The
color nt the soil where they live is red
brown, and the animals and the men are
OF the same color. The Dyoor, who lives
ON the black marsh bordering the White
Nile. :s black, as are the animals there
also. His habitat is that ot the stork,
and he is Il StOrk like man, with little
head, long neck, gaunt BODY, long legs,
and broad spreading feet. He strides
stork like over the fen; and stands for
hours upon one leg We find nature
playing upon man ms upon animals, and
adapting to the conditions around 1t.
Where man has not escaped the Ihrall OF
nature, or risen above these conditions,
we find thisprotective adaptation.
FACE FEATURES.
There are many races of men, almost
as old as man himself, but they all came
from the same ancestor. Take n hair
from n mans head, and if its section is
circular, can tell you that the man is OF
a civilized race from the Northern Hem
isphcre. 1t the section is oval, the man
belongs to race that has no literature,
art, memories of the past, or civilization
Other race feature do not run with, the
blood. but this feature does. 1t is bio
logical law, that whenever you find q
marking true with the blood, it is IN old
feature and from this we conclude that
man is divided into two great casses-
the circular scctioned. or straight. haired,
and the oval sectioned or woolly haired.
In Africa we find man very near the
original woolly-haircd division-a case
of arrested growth. In Australia, the
natives. who are the lowest of the
straght.haircd race, are very near the
beginning ct that type. Were these
races primal or induced' | think they
sprang from common ancestor. Taking
that view, we say that the original should
ueneralze the features common to both,
according to another law of biology.
We find that the first man was black,
had thick. plotruding lips, and n fiat
nose, and that he had no calves to his
lrus. Nature does not favor white.
White animals will eat poisonous weeds
that black animals will not touch; their
sense of smell and taste is defective.
Black pigs arc healthy, but | have not
seen healthy white pig IN California.
No savage people are white; the more
savage race is, the deeper the dye.
