To write Of the progress Of archaeology
tn this century Is scarcely possible, as tbs
hea of the subject was unknown a hundred
pears ago. II Is, therefore. g whole history
Of its opening and development that We
have 70 deal with. The conception or the
history Of man being preserved TO MS in
material facts. and not only in written
words. was quite disregarded until the
growth OF geology had Taught men 20 read
nature Cor themselves, instead Of trusting
20 the Interpretations formed by their an
oestora. Even down to the present the AGA
eemio view is that classical archaeology Is
more important than other branches. be-
cause Il serves to illustrate classical htera-
ture. Looked at as archaeology. IT is. on the
contrary. the least important branch. be-
cause We already know so much more OF the
classical eyes than we do OF others.
Il IS only within the present generation
that It has been realized that wherever man
has lived he has left the traces OF his ac-
tion and that a systematic and ob>ervent
study of those remains will interpret to Us
what his life was. what HE abilities and
tastes were and the extent and nature OF
his mind. Literature Is but one branch OF
the archaeology OF the higher races; an
other-equally important for the under
standing Of mans art: these two give the
highest and most complex and characters
tic view of the nature Of a race. At the op-
posite end Of the scale are the rudest stone
weapons. which remain a. the sole traces
OF the savages who used them These high
est and lowest evidences OF mind and all
that lies between them are the domain OF
archaeology.
We now purpose to review the growth Of
archaeology in contact with geology. where
81 concerns man as the last of the links OF
life on the globe. and then TO notice the
archaeology OF each country In turn as It
leads on TO the time OF historical record
and SO passes down to modern times.

very differently from what IS now the case.
Then there stood on one side the idea OF a
special creation OF an individual man. at
1904 Il. c.; the compression Of all human
history into a prehistoric age OF about 5000
ysars. and a fairly logical solution of most
erthe difficulties of understanding in a com
foftable Theology. On the other hand stood
many who felt the inherent improbability
cfJsuch solutions of the problem Of life and
Who were feeling their way to some more
sorkab theory on the basis OF Laplace,
iAmarck, Erasmus Darwin and others;
v1guely mingling together questions OF
physics. geology. archaeology. anthropology
and theology. each OF which w now sec
must be treated on its own basis and be
decided on internal evidence before we can

THE TRACK MAN.

every time, why I'm ready to quit

persistingIy stubborn creature on
earth he will never get out OF the
road until you're right on top of him.

placid as if he were working ON the
