The freezing process for sinking shafts,
piers etc, through QuicGsand promises to
he one Of immense utility in practical en-
cheering. 1t is cen believed that the
invention (Which is a European one) will
surlasj IN Importance the pneumatic pro-
cess. which has been used to so great ad-
vantage OF late years, especially in bridge
construction. The process consists simply
in sinking tubes connected with suitable
apparatus and machinery for freezing. The
sand OF silt is in this manner easily con
ccaici ana the work of excavation IS car
ried on with comparative ease. By the use
Of this process many beds of coal which
are overlaid 10y quicEsands through which
it has heretofore been impossible to sink
shafts, can be opened and worked. Bridge
pier, can be sunk in numerous places
NOTABLY on the Mississippi river where it
has heretofore been deemed practically in
possible to build bridge. The same is
true of tunnels 1t has recently been
stated that the Hudson river tunnel has
been abandoned for good. This is not
true The death OF TrenOr Park, It's prin-
cira! financial promoter, has put stop to
the active progress Of the work, bat we I'M
dcrstand that his estate viii endeayor to
secure the completion Of the work. The
freezing process seems to be especially
adapted to this great work. 1t is Gained
by competent authority that by this means
the tunnel can be constructed successfully,
rapidly and economically. 1t will thus be
seen that this invention may properly be
cIassed among the most important Of re-
cent times We understand that arrange
mcnts for securing the right to Use it in
this county are in progress prominent
engineering firm which has had great eX-
perience with the pneumatic process hav-
inc obtained an option for a certain time.

The question now arises, SAYS a writer
in the Phreaoiogicai Journal, in speaking Of
the growth of brain power: Where in the
series of events is there room for any fresh
element to come in? Can any man ever
be ANYTHING other than what some of his
ancestors have been before him? And if
not, how is progress or mental improve
ment possible? TEas men have, as 4 mat
ter of fact, risen from 4 lower to a higher
intellectual position is patent. That some
races have out-stripped other races is
equally clear. And that some individual
men have surpassed their fellows Of the
same race and time is also obvious. How
are we to account for these facts without
admitting that new clements do at sundry
times creep in by chance, in the false and
unphilosophical sense of the word? How
can we vet advance unless we admit that
exceptional children may be born from
time to time with brains of exceptional
functional value, wholly uncaused by an
teeedents in any way?
The answer to this question is really one
of them important in the whole history
of mankind. For, on the solution Of the
apparent paradox thus propoundcd depend
two or three most fundamental questions.
1t is by this means alone that we can ac-
count, first, for the existence of great Races
like the Greeks or the Jews. It is by this
means alone that we can account, secondly,
for genius in individuals. And it is by
this means alone that we can account,
thirdly, for the possibility of general pro
sress in the race. 1t is surprising, there
fore, that the question has 50 little engaged
the attention Of evolutionary phycholo
gists at the present day. There are only
two conceivable ways in which any incre-
ment of brain power can ever have arisen
in any individual The one is the Oar
winian way, by Spontaneous variation -
that is to say, by variations due to minute
physical circumstances affecting the indi-
vidual in the germ. The other is the
Spencerian way, by functional increment
that is to say, by the eiieat Of increased
use and constant exposure to varying cir
cumstances during conscious life l ven
ture to think that the first way, if we look
II clearly in the flce, VIII be seen to be
practically unthinhahle, and that we have,
therefore, no alternative but to a,eept the
| second
