assigned LOO years the period of race, after
which it must be succeeded by another.
The various activities of man. according to
Professor Petre, related in the same order
In each successive period This can be best
traced in the medieval and classical periods
where the stages of sculpture, painting, ltera-
ture music, mechanics, science and wealth
spread some seven centuries. These stages
were together in earlier ages, but the Or
der was always the same so far can be traced
The starting point of each civilization-as OF
each generation-is mixture of blood. With
out fusion of race fresh start can be rnM,c
About six eight centuries are needed tas the
rise to the sculpture stage. The growth or ciy!
lzation largely consists in a lengthening out of
the subsequent stages of activity, and diminu-
ton of the stagnant period before a new mix

the people and not to the county, and is kept
by the people when they go to land of diff.

another, yet the general regularity of interval
of the stages of growth of civilization point to

THE FATE OF EMPIRES

The meaning of life has in all ages been the
goal OF human thought and the great extension
OF our knowledge of the past, by the researches
of recent years, enables us now to view the
course of human changes with more complete
ness than has been the case before In place Of
looking on the fall of the Roman empire as a
mcnstrous and inexplicable fact, we now see that
civilization is not only intermittent, but is reg
ularly recurrent phenomenon"
This was the theory propounded by Prof Film
ders Petrie in a lecture delivered at the Royal
institution on "The Revolutions of Civilization"
In Egypt, said the lecturer, we can trace eight
civilizations; the first prehistoric; the second
prehistoric, the early dynastc, the pyramid build
ers, the middle kingdom (XIIth dynasty the EN-
pire AVlllth Dynasty, the Greek and the Arab.
The rise and fall of art in each of these periods
can be we'll illustrated Similar periods are
found in Europe, the early, middle and late Gre
tan, the classical and the medieval. These Pc
RODS are contemporary with those of Egypt, so
far ascertain. Hence the Medterra-
mean civilization distinct unit, rising
and falling together one body The Mesopo-
tamian civilization is in different phase to that
of the Mediterranean but it's period is about the
same.
A similar period of about 1900 years has oc-

very nearly as old as the Fourth of July itself
IN holiday sense is the custom in the average
smaller city, town or village of making the aft
ernoon OF Independence Day the occasion of a
race meet and athletic carnival Perhaps this is
held on the main street of the town if there is
no track available, but if there is a fair ground
or regular race track in the vicinity that is the
mecca for the crowds. Some years ago the prime
feature of every such meet was found in the
racing hose-laying and ladder contests of the
various volunteer fire companies from all the
towns in the vicinity of the one where the
tournament was held. Latterly as horse
drawn tire-fightng apparatus has come into more
general use and even the motor hose wagons
nave been purchased by many of the smaller
cities, the number of volunteer fire-fghting or
