A SHATTERED IDOL
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK.

| Larger than old-fashioned bustles,
And his neck like a column made OF steel;
Not field he couldn't dash through,
Not line ne couldn't smash through.
He such aweinspIrng OF veal.
This tremendous football hero
Held all rival teams to zero
SO his comrades worshiped madly at his shrine
Now that they had broken training
And as long II was raining
They were sitting at McSherry's buying wine
suddenly there q shakeup
Percy said: Let's smash the place up
Follow me, boys and Wen do il, tearl"
Then the boys, all neatly battered
Followed up their idol shattered
As he lii upon the track on his ear.
When you gentle waiter
Bringing you cold pertater,
Pause and think Of all the fights that he has fit:
Danish every thought OF fighting
Or youll find yourself alighting
On the car track where the football hero lit

Again, Huxley says that certain
parts of the brain, which are re-
garded as peculiarly human. "ars
among the most distinctly simiau
capehke") peculiarities which
the human organism exhibits"
But there is second kind Of
evidence which, to the scientific
mind, Is still more conclusive.
This is based upon the study Of
embryology (the science Of the
development Of an organism from
Its rudiments). One of the most
wonderful facts brought out BY
such study is that the embryo of
an animal, as 1t develops from
the earliest germ of living SUB
stance, runs through a rapid
course of evolution before birth,
during which 1t exhibits pecu-
liarities that characterized its re-
mote ancestors in their adult
forms. Thus the brief history OF
the development of an individual
is sort of summary of the long
history Of the development of the
race to which 1t belongs,
Common Ancestor.
When this principle Is applied
to the study OF the human en-
bryo, 1t is found that a most
astonishing story Is revealed.
connecting man with the anthro-
poid ape. For Illustrations of this
read the third chapter OF Metch-
nikoffs book on THE Nature Of
Man"
More recently another line Of
evidence has been discovered
which shows an actual blood re-
lationship" between men and
apes. This depends upon the fact
that serum prepared from the
blood OF any animal shows par
ticular reactions only when min
gled with the blood OF animals Of
a closely related species. A Sc
rum OF human blood when mixed
with the blood OF other animals
shows no reaction of this kind
except when the blood is that Of
a gorilla, chimpanzee or oraAq-
outang, or particular species Of
monkey. Then the telltaIe reao-
ton is perfectly produced.
l have only space for mere
reference to the most marvellous
feature OF the evolution Of man
after his DEVELOPMENT from the
mysterious common ancestor
the growth of his mental powers.
II this practically infinite su
perlority Of man to all other ami
mails which forms the stumbling
block that prevents many per
sons, even now, frcm fully accent
In" the teachings Of evolution as
applied to man. But that very
power Of mind which he possesses

relationship to the lower animals.
and, in the end, it will proba blv

of his own development.

much more attention than talent,
save in the case of the martyrs.
And it is worth noting that the
eminently dull and the sublimely
stupid have always been immune
from persecution.
And so our friends in New Or

plan by which the teacher par

mist. psychologist operate to-

This is all to be done as much as
possible without calling the at

Earliest Man Animal.

This animal was more manlike
than apelike, but 1t possessed suf-
fcient resemblance to both types
to lead some men OF science to
regard It as a specimen of man
as he was before he had pro-
crossed very far from the point
where he and his ape relatives
struck out into their diverging
roads of evolution. Haeckel has
given to the earliest man-animal,
after his separation from the
original common trunk, the name
alalus (speechless), because he
thinks that the first man did not
possess a true. language.
Now. as to the proof Of these
statements about the evolution
airy origin Of man. The ABSO-
Lutte PROOF which would be
furnished by the discovery of un-
doubted remains of the missing
link" together with remains of
intermediate types leading toward
the apes in one direction and man
in the other, may never be OBJ
tanned, and that for the following
reason:
The separation of the human
from the ape type occurred rela-
lively late in the geological his
tory of the earth. 1t is generally
believed TO have happened in the
later Tertiary ages, perhaps only
a few hundred thousand years
ago, after the surface Of the earth
had assumed very much the char
acter which it possesses to-day.

Their back than the fork in

the gorilla, the chipanzee and
the gibbon.
Up to that point there had been,
in the world, neither apes nor
men, but there had been a mann
NAL (animal that suckles its
young). which was to become the
comm IN ancestor of both of them.
That animal has now disappeared.

of shallow seas, were buried in
deposits of mud and fine sand
that subsequently, while the wa
ters withdrew, or the land was
elevated, were transformed into
layers of rock. 1t is for this rea-
son that the remains OF many of
the very earliest inhabitants of
the globe, creatures of compare
lively simple organization, are
among the most abundant and
of the best preserved, while those
of the later land animals are
comparatively rare and imperfect,
because they have been more eX-
posed to destructive influences.
What Huxley Says.
But, while the direct proof just
mentioned may never be obtained,
there is proof of another order,
even more conclusive. This is of
two kinds: First, the structural
resemblances between men and
anthropoid apes are so numerous
and striking that there seems to
be no other reasonable eXplana-
ton of them than community of
origin. l have not space to go
into details, but Huxley has
summed up the case in a single
sentence: For the skull no less
than for the skeleton in general
the proposition holds good thai
the differences between man and
the gorilla are of smaller value
than those between the gorilla
and some other apes"
