CIVILIZATIONS GROWTH.
How Man Has Advanced Upward Over
the Ruins Of Old Methods.

the Iluins OF Old Methods.
The Anthropologicsl.so met last even
ing in the Army Medical museum, President
Mai. J. w. Powell in the chair. A list Of
corresponding members was read, including
the most distinguished anthropologists in
America The following papers were read
and discussed "Discontinuitios in Natures
Methods" by Mr.. II. II. Bates, and Migra-
tious OF the Siouau Tribes by Rev. j. Owen
Dorsey. Mr. Batea spoke briefly Of the marked
gaps occurring in the passage from tho
mineral to the organic kingdom, from one
class to another, and from iuvertebrate to
vertebrate, aud thon proceeded to discuss
the application Of his subject 70 man.
All tho great steps in advance made
by our race have been due to the decay or dis
continuity of ancient methods, and the set
ting m of now processes that started man
onward again into now and higher paths
The inventive faculty Of man, disregarding
old manners and systems. cmancipatcd and
simulated his mind and has been the most
potent factor in these benign discontinuites.
Ancient ruins everywhere staring us in the
GacD are silent witnesses Of continued renu-
diations of old things. In earlier ages Of the
world even beauty was secured by selection;
Uy means of invention, selection giving place
20 a new departure. The most wonderfully
efficient apparatus in uso among us could
never have been worked out by natural
selection; the inventive brain of man has
travorsed this law and set up new orders OF
things.
As there have been no stimuli to sudden
CHANCES in ethics or sociology in later centu-
RIGS they have not taken place, and we have,
therefore, little to observe us to improvement
in this direction. Dscoutinuities have not
always been beneficial, and may not be in the
future. A cosmic Winter may reduce our
race to its lowest capabilities again, and man
may end his terrestrial life like tho whale
the walrus, or the seal, a ruined monument
of former glory. Tho paper was discussed by
Prof Ward, DR.. yelling, President Powell

mental and social improvement and
advance their condition in many re-
spects. Though such reduction Of
the time of labor will at first inevita-
bly, be followed by a lowering Of wages,
IL is claimed that in tim wages Will
rise to their former figure. There will
be as much work TO be done ~ before,
and the same number of men to do II.
Therefore, competition for work will
be no more active than now, and the
law of supply and demand being in
force, viii regulate the compensation
Of labor as now. Political economists
have figured out that II all men
were workers alike, an average
OF three hours of work day
would be sufficient to supply the world
with all its needs. But 20 many are
non-toilers that those who do york
must increase their hours of activity
to compensate for the deficiency oc-
casioned by idleness.
Many of our manufacturing firms
are in the habit of restricting produc-
ton by closing their establishments in
the dull season, by which thousands Of
dependent employees are thrown out of
work at the very time that they most
need it. The same result would be
arrived at by the eight-hour system,
without the shocks occasioned by sud
den and violent stoppage Of business.
While such reform in our working
system would be good thing for the
country, it cannot be looked for soon.
The change must take place all at
once when 1t does come. 1t cannot
begin in one shop and gradually ex-
tend itself, for no firm will begin 1t
alone, and thus place itself at dlsad-
vantage among its competitors.
