PRIMEvAL MAN.

Dear Editor: Man is not descended
from the ape, but his original status
was similar to that of the ape. The
present civilization of the human race
was not always So as we all know
Following up our civilization into the
past we find it gradually decreasing
until it disappears altogether and
leaves man in the original sayagery
which status was identical with that
of animal. How do know? OF course,
did not live then, but plain, undisput
able logic tells me so.
knowledge on which civilization de-
pends. is not Unborn in man, II is
taught to him. We know only what
others already know Once in a while
a genius hits on new idea, little
improvement on something already
known, it becomes common property
and civilization has made another
little step forward.
Original man. minus teacher, had
no knowledge beyond his natural in.
stincts. He also had no language.
Man has the ability of speech, but at
first he lacked the knowledge of this
ability. For instance, the human race
will do great things in the future
which we would be able to do at the
present time If ii were not for this
lack of the necessary knowledge. A
little child is about as perfect example
of man at the time when the human
race was in its infancy. It has no de-
sires besides a full stomach and a
little comfort and with these things
provided, feels supremely contented.
When he grows bigger hfs parents
and his community teach him all the
requirements of modern civilization.
Original man, devoid of any knowledge
had nothing to teach his child and it,
after maturity, in consequence had
nothing to impart to his progeny. This
primeval status of man lasted prob
ably during untold numbers OF gem
erations, until the first signs of
crude sort of civilization were pre-
ceptible.
Modern man may not like the idea
of being a descendant of creature
whose life and habits were distinctly
animal, but the fact is undisputable.
Mans anatomy and his instincts are
still animal and his civilization. which
distinguishes him nowadays from
mere animal, is only a product of evo-
lution. CHARLEY IL,

ORISCOLl VS. POESY.

A few weks ago it looked very much as though Jim Drscoll. Eng lands featherweight champion. would have to wait until he was an old man before anyone would come for. ward to meet him who possessed a chance of competing against him on equal terms. There are hopes. how. ever, that the Welsh Wizard will be shortly seen in the ring opposed to man whom many consider to have an excellent chance of getting the better of him.
 This prodigy is Jean Poesy. who recently defeated the bantamweight champion of the world, Digger Stan. ley, at the National Sporting club So decisive was Poesy's win that Bet. tinson at once approached the French boys people regarding a match with Driscoll, and they expressed their willingness.
