THE PROGRESS OF EMPIRE.
Great Migrations Of Mankind Move
Always In the Course Of
the Sun.

Can science explain why the course Of
empire lies westward? OF the fact, as
general proposition. there can be no
question. There is nothing more evil
dent in human history than the west
ward tendency Of the great migrations
of mankind, as well as Of the spirit OF
conquest and the genius Of civilization.
which seems to fit from race to race
and from nation to nation, kindling
new fires as the old die out, almost In
variably toward the west, as II the
sparks were borne by constant wind
against the direction Of the earth's rota-
ton on its axis. The earth turns from
west to east, but man, within the his
toric period, has gone round the earth
from east to west, writes Carrot p.
Serviss, In Success.
The Russo-Japanese war serves to
emphasize this tendency by the sudden
rise Of great power on the western
shore of the Pacific ocean. The aston
ishing Americanization and European
ization Of Japan, at least In Its outward
characteristics, appears as results OF
the catching in combustible material Of
the sparks that have blown westward
across the Pacific from the mental con.
flagration which spread from Europe to
America in the track of Columbus, and
which burns higher and brighter and
with quicker flame the further 1t pro-
crosses.
Whether this Is the first time that the
globe has been enc,rcled in similar
manner history does not inform us, be-
cause its records do not extend far
enough into the past to include more
than a simple cycle Of the westward
march of empire. There are indications
of the former existence on this CONT
nent of a civilization of vast antiquity,
which might be thought to mark some
forgotten round Of the spirit Of prog
ress, completed at a period so remote
that nearly all its vestiges have disap-
peared.
II only the settlement Of America
from Europe were concerned, It would
be easy to account for the westward
tendency in question, on the ground
that this continent was virtually an
unoccupied wilderness. filled with the
most tempting riches. and containing
only scattered tribes Of sayages and
barbarians. at the time of Columbus
voyages, and that Its rapid occupation
by men of the Caucasian race. and Of
civilized habits and needs, flocking
from the crowded countries Of Europe.
was an inevitable result arising out Of
the situation.
But glance at the history Of the old
world shows that the westward tendency
has always existed. Every great over
flow Of people, and. with temporary ex-
ceptions, every sweep of conquest and OF
colonization, has been in general toward
the west.

The tree Is found in the Ambongo re-

According to Pernir, II is the Medemia

covers vast spaces either along the
seacoast or bordering the rivers. After
