for existence brings out the
higher abilities of man, will always
dominate, the writer thinks, and it is
not improbable that the tropics will
be the recourse of the yellow races
rather than of the white. To quote the
conclusion:
There is every prospect that with
our almost certain conquest of the
pathologic conditions that exist in
those regions, their utility to mankind
will be vastly increased and that high
err civilizations than now occupy those
lands will be developed. We may not
be able to look on the tropics as a
permanent home for the best of the
ruling white races, even two or three,
but there is hardly any question that
they will be much more habitable and
useful than they have been in the
past"

WHITE RACE WILL

MEDICAL EXPERTS DECLARE
NEXT TWO OR THREE CENTU-
RIES WILL BRING CHANGE.

The opinion of some authorities that
white races will never succeed in OBJ
tanning a permanent foothold in tro-
pical countries does not seem to be
shared by a writer in the Journal of
the American Medical Association. AS
quoted in Science New York;, he
says:
"The recently expressed opinion of
Colonel w. 7. Gorgas, that within the
next two or three centuries the tropi-
cal countries, which offer a much
greater return to mans labor than do
the temperate zones, will be settled by
white races, and that theNcenters of po-
pulation and civilization will be trans
ferred to the equatorial regions, may
not prove a strictly correct prophecy
but it's possibility cannot be denied, q

priori as once it would have been. The
discovery of the malaria germ and of
the transmission of it and OF that of
yellow fever by mosquitoes has abol-
ished the principal drawbacks of the
Availability of these regions by the
white races to a very great extent and
opened for the civilized man large por-
tions of the earths surface that were
formerly practically forbidden to him.
The question, of course, still remains
to be settled whether the white man
can retain his physical stamina and
energy through residence in the tropics
for many generations, and whether the
mere conquest of pathologic germs is
all that is required. The productive
ness of tropical regions is of itself a
drawback The average man works
only from necessity and what renders
mere existence the easier does not ne
cssarily tend to the higher develop
ment of the race"
Sir Charles Dixie, the writer re-
minds us, once called the banana the
curse of the tropics, and held that
where it abounded, human progress
and ambition disappeared. There is
enough truth in this to make it UNI
likely that the tropics will be the lead
ing centers of civilization in the fu-
ture. The temperate zones, where the
