ANTIQUITY OF MAN.

 No one, he said, has discovered anything the primary or second ary geological periods of the earth pointing to the existence of man. In the tertiary period there have been found some evidences of mans hand work, like clipped flints, but they are far from being conclusive, as convincing evidences of their being

out of place have been shown to make it tolerably certain that man did not exist in the tertiary period.
 The quarterary period witnessed the great change of temperature on the earth, which produced the great masses of ice which covered this country down to the forty-second parallel of latitude. It can be stated positively that man lived in Europe at the time the great glacier period was disappearing. He followed this barrier, probably, as it went northward. America has been ex- amined, and it is said that human remains have been found in the glacial gravel. In South America they are found on the pampas plains.
 1tmay be considered a settled conclusion that man appeared after the ice age. Some place the time at 100000 years ago. It is prob able that 50, ,000 yeais is the limit of the period covered by the existence of man on earth.
 The question, where did he first appear2 is more easily answered and the process of arriving at that fact is a method of exclusion. America cannot be considered, as there are no remains found of anthropoid apes, or monkeys with tails, on this continent, a necessary feature in accounting for the origin of man. In the same way Australia, the islands of the sea and the southern portion of Africa are ruled out. The conclusion is reached that man originated in Southern Asia, South ern Europe or Africa north of the Sahara. All the places assigned to the Garden of Eden are within this region.
 Dr. Brinton said his predecessor at the Academy, Dr. Samuel J Morton, fifty years ago, claimed that there were twenty-two different species of men, each having an independent origin. The present opinion is that there is but 8 single species. It is unlikely that it came into existence at once, but that it was produced by several species of anthropoid apes. He believed that all races sprung from single stem. The differences we now see were produced by en- vironment, climate, etc.
 The earliest discovered bones of man indicate a race shorter than the present race, trihe shorter than the modern Frenchman, about feet inches in heigth. He was gregarious and lived in society, as shown by his tools and weapons; that he attained the germ of devel- opment of the highest speech. There is no evidence of religious life or progress. He must have had some mental power, as he fought against the most dangerous animalse and overcame them.-Philadelphia Led ger.
