from that bit of animal life at the be-
ginning that we draw our inspiration.
l can read, for example, in Prien, a
French writer, who has written of the
evolution Of animal forms before the adj
vent of man. Whole series were ira
versed in the animal world and died.
We have small animals and large, mi
mute animals, wise; huge animals stu
pid. Nature seems to have expert
mented until high type was reached.
! Gandry, French writer, has shown
that if we look down the animal lines We
should see much to astonish us. Small
er animals, more intelligent, more ac-
tive, take the places of the larger.
All of this went on in a grand scale.
But at least the struggle for existence
had exhausted itself before the advent
of man. Brain had risen to premium
before humans came. How man ap-
peared in the world is a problem yet
to be solved. Why this animal stood
up on two feet, cannot be told. That
he did so earlier than we have been
wont to believe is probable. 1t is also
probable that he stood up with less wis
dom than we have been accustomed to
give him. The story of the standing up
of man is the oldest tradition of the
creation of man. Man, have said,
took this erect position earlier than we

Prof. Packard tells us when the man
of our geological age appeared on
earth, he was fashioned about as we
are. He had the really human physical
characteristics. We are brought face
to face with the question, Why was
man brought on earth, at that early
age, fashioned as we are? It has beer

supposing it were absent, is necessary
to complete the chain. Curiously
enough, in 1891 in Java there turned VI
parts of the long bones and skull of q
creature about which discussion has
not ceased. Noted biologists have
