NJ. Faye has promulgated the follow
ing hypothesis reg riding the relations
between the geological epochs and the
stages of the terrestrial cosmOgony.
The history of the earth he divides into
six stadia. The first is that in which
the earth was a glowing hall. The Sec
ond he calls the antezoic period, in
which total darkness supervened on the
extinction of the carth'S glow. The
third is the primary period, during
which there was feeble Illumination
from the sun which was Just then com
ing into existence. During the second
airy period the sunlight went on in
croasing as the sun itself grew larger
and assumed It's proper shape.
In the fifth stadium, which is that Of
the tertiary period, there was complste
solar illumination, and the sun soon at
tanned the maximum of its activity,
while in the last stadium, that of the
quaternary period, there has been a
slight diminut on of the solar activity
(rather surmised than demonstrated,
accompanied by the disappearance of
every cosmogonic influence and the es-
tablishment of perfect stability in al
most all directions. Oscillations in the
earths crust and feeble volcanic mani
festations are almost the only instances
of coSmogonic change sill observable.

MARCH OF the WHITE MAN.
The Astounding Change Wrought IN Two
Centuries-A Possible Conflict.


Among tho little noticed but most i'm
portant facts in the history OF the world
is the enormous recent increase in num-
Der of white men in it, 1t is barely two
centuries G0Sj) since those races,
though even then the most energetic of
mankind, formed but a snail fraction
in the total of humanity-prob-
ably 10 per cent. OF the whole
and were by no means certain that they
could defend themselves against the re-
mainder. The stream OF Asiatic con-
quest had never stopped, for the Turks
were at the gates OF Jenna; an African
feet was dominant i'll the Mediter
ranCan; Asia knew nothing of the
whites except in one or two tolerated
settlements on the coast fringe of India;
Africa belonged exclusively to Africans,
and though the whites had ma tered
south America, VIII re, read in the light
of subsequent history, their conquests
we're incredibly rapid, most part of
!, orth America still felt Indian wars to
be terrible and even formidable events.
tven 100 years later the white people,
though under the operation OF the still
unexplained law which at one time fos-
ters and another time restricts the
growth of a people, were Increasing
slowly, and were still only 10, 90 900,
or probably seventh of the population
of the globe. They had, indeed, an
nexed the two Americas and northern
Asia, thus quintnplinG the area of their
estate upon the planet, and probably
multiplying their fixed wealth by at
least twenty fold-a country being
always the largest item in the wealth of
any race or nation but they had only
begun to settle in tn western continent
they had but commenced to conquer III
southern Asia; they had visited, but
not occupied Australia, and in eastern
Europe and western asia they were
only slaves to an AsiatiU horde.
The century, however, ending 1884
has been marked 10y an alliance SO rapid
and so uubroken rs 10 be scarcely credi
bic, and to present one Of the most
startling facts in history. The white
race in and out of urope, under the
influence of some still mysterious call
upon their energies, have multiplied
nearly three-fold and are to-day, as
Mr.. K! GiLen has shown in his recent
address to the Statistical society, 40,
600, 900. IS there is no evidence of
any corresponding llCIedse III luo uttIh
races, and as, indeed, such increase has
been, outside India, nearly impossible,
the white men are now, by the best cal
culations, one-third of the entire popu-
lation of the world. instead of being,
as they were only two centuries ago; a
little more than 10 per cent.
They have, moreover, if anything, in
creased in physical strength, and have
so developed in brain, and consequent
power organization, that it may be
doubted if the whole remainder of man
kind, even if all we're reduced to equal
weapons, could seriously in ure the
white third, which again, if it chose to
act together and employ without pity
the weapons its intelligence has enabled
it to construct, could in few years re-
duce the remainder of the world to in
uninhabited desert.
