An Ancient Race.

OF the builders of ancient mounds and
other remarkable earthworks found in this
country we have no real knowledge, but
popular belief and scientific theory alike
attribute these works to a race preceding
the American Indian. Even the Indians
themselves appeared to regard them as the
work Of some very ancient people. The
relics Of carved stone, elegantly formed
pottery and bronze, silver and copper Or
naments found in explored mounds indi-
cate skill and degree of civilization not
found among the Indians by the first white
settlers of the country. The Inter Ocean
quotes a writer on this subject to the effect
that the monuments left by the mound
builders indicate that the ancient popula-
tion was numerous and widely spread, as
shown from the number and magnitude of
their works, and the extensive range of
their occurrence; that it was essentially
homogeneous in customs, habits, religion
and government, as appears from the great
uniformity which the works display, not
only in respect to position and form, but in
all minor particulars; and that the feat
ures common to all the remains identify
them as appertaining to single grand sys-
tenn, owing it's origin to a family of men
moving in the same general direction, act
ing under common impulses and influenced
by similar causes" Archaologists fnd in
the mounds evidence of very different
state of society from that among the In
dams. The Indians were a nomadic race,
subsisting by hunting; the mound builders
were apparently an agricultural people.
Many of the monnds seem to have been
erected as military works. these would
only have been needed by an agricultural
peonle

Quicker Than Ligh timing.

Quicker than lightning" is phrase
colloquially used to express the maximum
of rapidity. But, according to a contem-
porary, electricity itself is outstripped by
that old fashioned machine, the human
body, by which it appears power can, so to
speak, be generated in the brain, trans
mitted through the nerves and developed
in the muscles in an infinitesimal fraction
of a second. 1t is stated that pianist, in
playing a presto of Mendelssohn, played
5,595 notes in four minutes and three sec
onds. The striking of each of these, it has
been estimated, involved two movements
of the finger, and possibly more. Again,
the movements of the wrists, elbows and
arms can scarcely be less than one move
ment for each note. AS twenty-four notes
were played each second, and each involves
three movements, we would have seventy
two voluntary movements per second.
Again, the place. the force, the time, and
the duration of each of these movements
was controlled
All these motor reactions were condition
ed upon knowledge of the position of
each finger of each hand before it was
moved while moving it, as well as of the
auditory effects to force and pitch, all of
which involves at least equally rapid
sensory transmissions. If we add to this
the work of the memory in placing the
notes in their proper position, as well as
the fact that the performer at the same
time participates in the emotions the selec-
tion describes, and feels the strength and
weakness of the performance, we arrive at
truly bewildering network of impulses,
coursing along at inconceivably rapid rates.
Such estimates show, too, that we are
capable of doing many things at once.

Alcohol and Tobacco.

Oliver Wendell Holmes remarks in one
of his books:
The older grow the less use make of
alcoholic stimulants-in fact, l hardly
meddle with them at all, except a glass or
two of champagne occasionally. find
that by far the best borne of all drinks
containing alcohol. l think, as one grows
older, less food, especially less animal food,
is required
What do / say to smokingp cannot
grudge an old man his pipe, but I think
tobacco often does good deal of harm to
the health-to the eyes especially, to the
nervous system generally, producing head
ache, palpitation and trembling. myself
gave it up many years ago. Philosophi-
cally speaking, think self narcotization
and self alcoholization are rather ignoble
substitutes for undisturbed self conscious
ness and unfettered self control.

Y.,u,ation OF the World in 1890.

In the proceedings of the Royal Geograph-
ical society for January, 1891, it is estimated
that the population of the world in 1890
was 1 1,4s7 ,6oO, 900, representing an average
of 81 to the square mile, and an increase Of
per cent. during the decade. OF the con-
tinents Asia has the largest population,
S50,OOO,0 and the lowest percentage of in
crease, per cent. Australasia has the
smallest population, 4,73O,OO0, and the
smallest average per square mile, Ia, but
the highest rate of increase during the de-
ca,1e, 80 per cent. Europeis TIE most thickly
settiSd continent. with population of $780,
100000, which is 101 to the square mile.
The population of North America is esti-
mated at 81, ,250, 900, which is an average Of
IA to the>square mile, and represents an in
crease of 20 percent. during the past decade
