Central Aeia.

For some time past the Bulgarian stu
alton and speculation as TO what would
be Russia's next move in the Balkans
have obscured in large measure the
Central Asian problem, that other great
factor in the Eastern question. Now,
however, that the wiseacres have been
brought to confusion by the non-fuliil-
ment Of their prophesies regarding the
results Of Emperor WILLIAMS visit 10
the Gar, and it is found that the Berlin
treaty is not likely to be impaired
by any concession on the part
of Germany touching Bulgaria, public
attention is again being attracted to the
events that are happeningi in and around
"the cradle Of the human race And
these events are no less significant than
interesting. IL is evident that Russia
has never been more active in Central
Asia than at present. and that she Is
pressing 10 the utmost the advantage
gained 10y tho building OF the Trans
Caspian railroad. This is proved
as well by the tone OF alarm
Of the English press as by the actual
news we are receiving from the far East
OF this news perhaps the two most i'm
portaut items arc that a large Russian
expedition is to penetrate Thibet and
That turmoil exists in Afghanjstan. The
former is of course intended to Offset the
English military expedition against the
Thbeiiaus. while no one acquainted
with Russian methods and Russian
policy will be inclined TO believe that
Russia rs entirely innocent in the matter
of the Afghan revolt, or will fail 70 make
tire most o; any opportunity for intcrfe-
renee that revolt may afford her. How
such interference would bemet by Eng
land goes without saying Tho Indian
Government las been preparing for it
for years preparing for it in a spirit
that would seem 10 indicate that "a clas IN
of arms near tho lndian border would
not be at all unvelcome.

EvoLuuoy.-Tbc AHcqhony Sentinel

EvoLuTIoy.-Thc AHcghoay Sentinel
defines the Law Of evolution as follows:
"WhGt are We TO understand 10y the
law Of evolution as i relates to the hui
man race Simply this That man had
lis primal origin IN some bloplastc
germ, winch. gradually overcoming ITS
animal environment, al last after success
sive stages Of development reached the
point Of intelligent conception IN the
climax being man. Such is the doctrine
Of evolution pure and simple as II relates
20 the origin Of the human race.
Whence this "bioplastic germ and
tins "animal environment ? The Sc,l-
tiy.cl assumes the existence Of these as q
Etarting point. But here as in other
cases it is the first step that is to be ex-
planned. We can believe that q man
with his bead OF walked mile II we
can believe that he took the first step.
Now, brother sentinel, do you believe
that man descended from monkey, or
from an ape, or from any other mere
animal No. DARWIN teaches no such
doctrine, and you do not Then man and
oil other animals came from differing
"bioplSstic germs" And yet man. mon
key, ape, Ourang-outsng, horse, hon, IL
ger, fox. dog, OK, bird, fowl, &C, &C., have
just two eyes, two ears. and one nose.
There are other similarities, or rather
identities; but these will suffice. We
Esy, then, that the chances are ten mil
hons of billions 10 one that there should
have been such nn outcome from
mere bioplastic germs" The doctrine
of special creations does not demand a
more genuine miracle.
