ed.
The mind and consciousness of man
grow out from the irrita bilitv of the
lower animals. They are developed
through series of successive differen-
tiations and integrations. All the
higher animals are colonies of CO.
operating and co-crdipated cells. In
such colonies of sensation, thought and
motion are relegated to series of the
most sensitive ard most highly or
ganized cells. This alliance of cells is
adequate for the work it has to per-
form. The brain is always adequate
for the mind, for the one is the organ,
the other the function, ard the de-
velopment of the two must go on to-
gnther.-David Starr Jordan in Pop

Country is Now Ready for War.

In Washington but one thing is talk
ed about and that is war. The wrink-
led front of this grim vissged monster
has reared itself finally above the
slough of politics and the petty ambi-
tions and desire of partisan feuds of
politicians and statesmen. The news
that Congressman Cannon bad in
troducrd the bill appropriating $780,
O00, 900 for the national defense was
flashed over the city with electric
velocity and everywhere business,
pleasure and politics we're practically
suspended, while American citizens
shook hands with each other aud ex-
changed congratulations that at least
congress had Ca its "Old Man of the
Sea" and become the genuine forum
of the people. The presidents manly
stand is commended everywhere by all
classes a party lines are obliterated
in the general Outburst of patriotic re-
joicing.
Congress is ready for hostilities, the
government is ready for it and the peo-
pie clamor for it. Wall street off RS
is millions to carry it on. The coolest
heads in Washington tonight predict

Hawley, Chief Engineer Webster and
a surgeon yet to be selected, have been
appointed board to make special eff
fort to secure recruits in the m ddle

naval salaries go, the lowest grade re-

the salary make the places rather de-

War is Expected.

The mere common impression at
Washington is that the president is
going to ask an indemnity of $40, 900, COO
for the Maine. While that is the sub
Jet of diplomatic intercbanges, he is
expected to proceed with the chief
question, which is peace for Cuba The
consular reports are to furnish the
bas is which the president will demand
acceptance of mediation. Spain is ex-
pected to pursue the usual policy of de-
lay. but Spanish charac' er has become
pretty we'll known in Washington. A
te'ay until after the Cortes elections
may be obtained by the Sagasta mi
nistry, but no longer. 1t is the inten-
ton to bring on the crisis before the
nd of April. Recognition of indepeu-
uence of the republic of Cuba seams to
be the probable form the crisis will
take.

NO EUROPEAN WAR PROBABLE.

While the stock markets of the world are refeo.ing . widespread apprehen- sion of European war, it is by no means unsafe to predict that should war come twill be only upon the in itiative Of Great Britain. It may be that Russia has contemplated an ex- i tension Of her influence in the fer east by seizure of the treaty port of Niu-Chwarg in the evsnt of Anglo French hostilities. But in the absence Of such hostilities. resulting from the Fashoda affair, seizure is improbable. because it would be tco hazardous an undertaking at this time for Russia
 American commerce, actual and pros pecive, in the orient-ircluding the PhiIippines-gives US an interest in this matter far more acute than would have been possible twelve months ago. It is, therefore, essential that judg- ment should not surrender to inter national or financial hysseria in con sidering the chances of war.
 Great Britain has cleared for action. Her oriental feet is stripped, and the men stand ready at their guns. IT every part of the empire is heard the note of preparation. But this is an as surance Of peace rather than an indi- cation Of war Any general European outbreak now must witness England and Russia in opposition. England is suDerbiy ready, while Russia is woe fully unprepared. An outbreak today would inevitably align France with Russia because Of .ne formal alliance existing and because of the strained relations between Paris and London. It would, also, inevitably align Ger many with England, because Of Ger man artagonism to and suspicion of French purposes and because Of the growing amicable relations between Germany and Great Britain, as evil deIced by the friendly understanding in South Africa. AS between these p0zjtive unions ,he readiness Of Ger many is, Of course, as apparent as is the u1readines5 Of France.
 Inc outcome Of such q war could not be in doubt from the moment the open ing gun awaked the echoes of the ori- ent. It would be primarily 2 naval Bat, though Germany would paIalyza
