MAN'SDEADLY WORK
LONG LIST OF LIVING CREATURES

Greed In Many Cases and In Others
Simply the Desire to Kill Has
Been Responsible for the
Slauahter.

Sir Ray Lancaster writes OF the
enormous number Of living creatures
which man has destroyed since he
irst appeared on earth: Even In pre-
historic times It IL probable that man
BY hunting the mammoth-the great
hairy elephant-assisted in its extinc-
ton. Il he did not actually bring It
about At remote prehistoric period
the horses Of various kinds which
abounded In North and South America
rapidly and suddenly became extinct.
It has been suggested. with some show
Of probability. that q previously un.
known epidemic disease due to para
site organism-such as those which
we now see ravaging the herds of
South Africa-found its way to the
American continent. And It Is quite
possible that this was brought from
the other hemisphere by the first men
who crossed the Pacific and populated
North America.
TO come to matters OF certainty
and not Of speculation, we know that
man BY clearing the land. as well as
by actively hunting and killing It, made
an end Of the great wild OK of Europe,
the aurochs or urus Of Caesar, the last
Of which was killed near Warsaw in
1927. He similarly destroyed the bison,
frst In Europe and then Tin our own
daysl In North America. A few hun.
dred. carefully guarded, are all that
remain in the two continents. He has
very nearly made an end Of the elk in
Europe. and will soon do SO completely
IN America. The wolf and the beaver
we're destroyed in these British islands
about 400 years ago. They are rapid
" disappearing from France, and will
soon be exterminated In Scandinavia
and Russia and in Canada.
AT a remote prehistoric period the
bear was exterminated by man in
Britain and the lion driven from the
whole of Europe. except Macedonia,
where 1t still flourished in the days of
The ancient Greeks. 1t was common in
Asia Minor a few centuries ago. The
giraffe and the elephant have departed
rom South Africa before the encroach.
ments Of civilized man. The day is not
distant when they will cease to exist
In the wild state in any part of Africa.
And with them are vanishing many
splendid antelope.
Even our nearest and dearest rela.
uves In the animal world. the gorilla,
the chimpanzee and the ourang, are
doomed. Now that man has learned to
DEFY malaria and other fevers, the
