You win perhaps reject the con-
clusions Of Volney as to the i'm
portance Of the early negro intel
iect. His view Is strongly sup
ported. Ineian says Of the ne
Rroes:
'The Ethiopisns were the first
who invented the science Of the
stars, and gave names to the
planets, not at random and with
out meaning, but descriptive Of
the qualities which they conceived
them to possess; and it was from
them that this art passed, still in
an imperfect state, to the Egyp-
tians."
Diodorus declares that the ne
groeS rightfully believed them
selves to be the oldest Of nations.

the suns path, its warmth may
have ripened them earlier than
other men"

and 1t Is possible for him in the

TO inspired prophets in the relig-

great genius, Charles Fourier,
made predictions absolutely &C

proved their right TO respect and

when the defense objected most siren

Means maintained the signatures
were made to refute an alleged fraud

Northern Trust Company, which for
feited all claims by Mrs. King to any
second will OF James C. King.
Means strenuously denied he had
ever gambled with dice with Mrs
King, but said he might have played
dice with Mrs. J. Benson Foraker. He
denied he ever played with loaded
dice.

Visiting the sandy ruins Of

Volney was born in France In
1857. He devoted himself to the
study Of truth. ,
A small inheritance was devoted
to travel, to historical investiga-
ton. He was a profound student,
an earnest, simple man, q true
philosopher. His arguments were
sound.
The proof Of this may be found

fully that he Kicked the distin-

ing able to make no other adequate

Volney's splendid work, the
foundation Of much that now
passes for original thought, is
based upon an earnest desire to
fathom the causes Of mems sue
