Marie Louise, it will be remembered,
was married to Napoleon after his di-
yorce from Josephine. The ceremony
took place at Vienna on March II, 1910.
Almost exactly a twelyemonth after
ward, that is on March 20, 1911, Tie
empress gave birth to son. who was
baptized Napoleon and received the
title OF King of Rome.
1t was the proudest day in the life OF

succession and apparently made him
the founder of a new and mighty dy-
nasty of kings But have not the OLD
Grreks taught us that when vain man is
at the summit of his fortune Nemesis is
already upon his track?
Fourteen months after the birth Of
his son Napoleon declared war against
Russia and set out on that disastrous
campaign which was to prove the be-
ginning of the end. Europe precipi-
tated itself upon him. He made a feint
of abdicating in favor OF his son, who
thence got the title Of Napoleon II. But
Immediately after that abdication his
wife fed with his son across the from
tier to Austria. Almost simultaneously
Napoleon reached Elba.

Marie Louise received a duchy in

paramour, the count of NeiDperg. The
young king of Rome did not join her
till some years later. The claimant in

called Capeili, who superintendent his

as favorable as denoting a decrease in

hoped by all well-wishers of the coun-

ORIGIN OF THE HUMAN RACE.
Some Scientists Hold the Polar Regions

Believers III the Laplace theory Of the
origin of the san and the planets are
Of Tie opinion that the original stock of
the human rec first came into exis-
tence at the poles Of the earth and grad
ualy moved out toward the equator.
All believers in the nebular hypothesis
are fast conforming their ideas to the
belief that this earth was once a red
hot ball OF fire, and that the human race
came into existence as soon as a pOr-
ten Of the globe had cooled sufficiently
to admit of their living upon it. The
portion moss likely to cool first was the
poles. and the evidence deduced from
this speculation is that upon which is
founded the idea of the polar origin Of
Tie human family. On the above theory
is explained the mysterious finding OF
the remains of tropical birds. beasts
and plants far up in the polar regions
II ii is really true that the poles were
the first habitable spots Oh the earths
surface, and that they were rendered
so by the globe first cooling at the spots
least affected by sunshine it must be
true also that the polar regions are
gradually encroaching upon the tenn
perate and tOFrid zones. Who knows
