MODERN MAN NOT A WONDER.
Shows Little Advancement Over Pro
totype Of Ancient Days.

Alfred Russell Wallace, the we'll
known English scientist. says that
modern man is not superior to the
man OF ancient times. He writes.
The general idea that our enormous
advances'in science and command
over nature serves as demonstration
d our mental superiority to the men
81 earlier ages is totally unfounded.
The evidence of history and of the
earliest monuments alike goes to In
dictate that our intellectual and moral
nature has hot advanced in any per-
ceptible degree. In the second place
we md that the supposed great
mental inferiority Of savages is equal
" unfounded. The more they are
alphabetically studied the more they
are found to resemble ourselves In
their inherent inIallectual powers.
Even the so long despised Aus.
tralian, almost the lowest in material
progress, yet show by their complex
language, their elaborate social regu.
lations, and often by an innate no.
bility of character, indications of a
very similar inner nature to our own.
II they possess fewer philosophers
and moralists, they are also free from
so large proportion Of unbalanced
minds--idiots and lunatics-as we
possess.
On the other hand, we find in the
higher Pacific types men who. though
savages as regards material progress,
are yet generally admitted to be-
physically. intellectually and morally
our equals. II not our superiors.
Thirdly, we have no proof
whatever that even the men OF the
stone age were mentally or morally
inferior to ourselves"

How SaWfish Uses Its Saw.

More energetic than any other
sharks are The sawfish, whose shouts
are prolonged into broad blade of
cartilage, which is horizontal when the

apart. The end of this formidable
