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.
 It may be considered a settled conclusion that man appeared after the ice age. Some place the time at l 100000 years ago It is prob able that.50, ,00O years is the limit of the period covered by the existence of man on earth.
 The question, where did he first appear? is more easily answered and the process of arriving at that fact is 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 tc the Garden of Eden are within this region.
 Dr. Brinton said his predecessor al the Academy, Dr. Samuel J. Morton fifty years ago, claimed that there were twenty-two different specie: of men, each having an independen origin. The present opinion is tha- there is but Q single species. It i' unlikely that it came into existenet at once, but that it was produced bl several species of anthropoid apes He believed that all races sprung from Q single stem. The differences we now see were produced by en vironment, climate, etc.
 The earliest discovered bones 0 man indicate a race shorter thar the present race, a trife shorter than the modern Frenchman, abou 5 feet 5 inches in heigth. He wa. gregarious and lived in society, a' shown by his tools and weapons that he attained the germ of devel opment of the highest speech. Ther' is no evidence of religious life O l progress. He must have had som' mental power, as he fought agains the most dangerous animals anC overeame them. m.-Philadelphia Led I ger.

THOMAS KEENE,
The Great Tragedian, Will Appear at the Opera House Thurs
 day Night.

Mir. Thomas Keene, the greatest living American tragedian, will play an engagement of q night perform ance in this city next Thursday night, appearing at the Opera-house in the great romantic drama Louis XI."
 Mir. Keene, of all the great actors of today, best fills theintellectual, as well as the emotional ideal. His readings show deep scholarship and careful study, as well as broad mental grasp, and his elocntion while having none of the stiled and wooden characteristics Of the pro fessional eloeutionists' methods, is of singularly, careful and clear enun- eiation. and his voice is so deep, mellifluous and sympathetic and his readings of thelines of his author so delightfully."- full of meaning, that to hear him speak the words is like an exposition of the text. Few actors are thus able to inform the mind, while appealing to the emo tions. That Mir. Keen can do so is one of the chief factors in his wide popularity. Seats on sale at Altschul's.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
First Appeared on the Earth About
 5O,O0O Years Ago.

Dr. Daniel c. Brinton gave an other lecture at the Academy of Natural Science on Friday afternoon on the Origin of Man"
 No one, he said, has discovered anything n 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 fiints, but they arc far from being conclusive, as convincing. g.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 quarteEary 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 Europa aL the time tine great glacier period was disappearing. He followed this barrier, probably, as 1t went
