name of the largest island, and the

The fullest answer that science can
yet give to the three most interesting
questions, perhaps, ever asked in the
world are explained in an interesting
article in the December Forum by Dr..
Daniel G.. Brinton, the ethnologist.
These questions are: when did the
first man appear?" by what process
did lac appeal! and " here did he APP
pearl Summing up all tb 1t 3, clog sis
and anthropologists Know, he appeared
certainly $4,000 years ago, and it may
he as many as 200. 0G0 years ago. The
evidences of his existence which date
back so 600 years are unmistakable.
BY what process he came into being
science has no delinsse answer. If il
refuse TO accept the ,.octrine OF specific
creation, it must refuse also. for lack of
complete evidence, y accept the doc
trine of gradual evolution the old Oar

the theory of revelation by "A leap" is
as good as any other fheory. According
to this, man sprung from some higl
order of mamal, the great tree-ape

As to where man first appeared, it is be-
yond doubt that his earliest home Was
