than the senses. Thus we find that
certain senses have even been re-
tarded, such as, for instance, sight,
smell and hearing. When man lived
his wild life it was very necessary
for these senses to be much sharper
than they are at present; hence our
poor hearing, bad sight and very
much poorer smell. On the other
hand, as the battle for existence
becomes more and more acute, and
as moreover the battle is not as much
physical as mental, it follows that
the mind and its thinking machinery
should naturally become more and
more developed, which, in fact, it
does.
We may safely say that within the
next hundred thousand years-which
is only a small span of time in mans
evolution-the human mind will be
an entirely different sort of ap-
paratus from what it is today. Mans
mental power will be infinitely
greater than what it is at present
Already we have indications that
mans thoughts, or the effects there
from, do not necessarily have to re-
main within his skull, but that they
actually radiate from the latter in
very imperfect manner.
AS the human race advances, there
IS no doubt that thought transfer
ence proper will become an accom-
pIlshed fact. 1t has already been
shown experimentally by Di Brazza,
as we'll as Charpentier, that concen-
trated thinking will produce certain
external effects, as, for instance, a
slight fuorescence on a zinc sulphide
screen, or a suitably excited X-ray
screen. This would tend to prove
that thoughts are of an electrical ma
ture, probably having a very short
wave length.
AS most electrical effects in space
are dependent upon wave motion, it
should not be surprising therefore
that thoughts or active thinkinp
should give rise to wave motion as
well.

The Engaging Penguin

Among the birds first place must be
gwen to the penguins, surely the oldest
and most engaging of feathered Great
ures. The gigantic emperor. the gor-
Eeous king and royal, the gentoo, said
to be the only penguin palatable even
to hungry whaler, and a number of
smaller species are all equally attrac-
tive by reason of the sleek beauty of
their vividly patterned plumage, by
their quaint gait and still more by
their power of expressing the familiar
human emotions of anger, fear, affec-
sion, curiosity, anxiety, solicitude,
spite, envy and surprise.
"Penguins have given up the struggle
with the southern gales, and turning
thelr wings into fn-shaped fippers use
them only in swimming and in gest-
ures. The gulls, skuas, cormorants,
petrels and albatrosses, Of which the
remaining bird population is composed
are superb in the air, but use their
long and narrow wings almost entirely
as floats, holding them rigidly like the
wings Of a monoplane"
These birds have conquered the
weather to the extent not only of
surviving themselves, but of rear
fng their young under almost impos-
sible conditions. Two characteris-
tlcs, however, make them the vic
Inns of man. They are fearless to
tne extent Of letting human beings
come close to them, examine their
nests and pass through their rook-
er'es. For their protection against
sne cold they are equipped with a
tnlck coating of blubber, from which
valuable oil can be made. The re-
buk is that
everywhere their numbers are being

n n "The American Magazine" AL
b mon Bement, an American art
~ list, who worked for the govern
ment during the war in camou-
faging ships, explains some of the
tricks of the camouheur.
"When you think of camoufage,"
says the writer, "you imagine that
it belongs only to war. You probably
have no idea that you literally can
use it in your BUSINESS that you
can employ it in your houses, your
yards and gardens, even in the very
clothes you wear. But this is
fact, nevertheless"
Mr.. Bement explains such things
as making your entrance door wider,
cor seem WIDER" by putting in side
lights, or by adding wider castings
with heavy mouldings, and putting
projecting coping or little shinglcd
overhang above it.
Mr.. Bement points out many ways
that camoufage already has been
used, perhaps unconsciously, as, for
instance
"Facial makeup with rouge and pow
der is camoufage, but comparatively
few women understand how to use it.
II the face Is broad and fiat the color
should be put on tho cheek bones near
the centre Of the face. If it is narrow
the face can be made to seem rounder
by putting the color further back, tow
ard tho ears. The chin is made round
er and more prominent by putting

"Of course, actors and actresses arc.

darken the lower eyelids, because If
they did not the footlights would de-
stroy tho outline Of the eyes,"

Concluding his entertaining ar

"Camouaage has been great help in

ships. But, with the great struggle a

principles, which we have evolved
through such bitter necessity, and put
them into practical everyday use.'

CORRESPONDENT of "The
London Times" calls atten-
. ton to the strange set of

birds and beasts to be
found on the islands and polar con-
tinent of the Antarctic zone. On
Macquarie Island the temperature
Is about 40 degrees and blizzards
are a common occurrence in the
short summer. Yet, according to
this writer, mammals and birds come
up from the sea to rest and breed
on the barren rocks:
"First, there are several kinds of ear
less seals, the members of their tribe
most changed from the terrestrial an
cestor, all with hind limbs permanently
fixed backward and serving with the
tail as a rudder. These most often
come ashore by breaking hole through
the iceAoes that fringe the shores,
door Of return that they have to keep
open from the frost They have been
seen furiously biting round the edges,
crimsoning the water with their blood,
and one of the Antarctic expeditions
came on belated victim dead, frozen
head downward in its final struggle to
return. Notable among the seals are
the spotted sea leopards, the only
formidable carnivores of the region
and the chief enemies of the penguins.
The sea elephants are true seals, and
the small females do not differ much
in appearance from the seals of north
ern waters, but the gigantic males are
cons spicuous because of the imitation of
the nasal region into a pendulous,
trunklike proboscis.
"The males come ashore first, landing
on smooth beach, where they await
the arrival of the females, each striving
to collect and to defend against aggres-
sion the largest possible harem. The
sea bears, or fur seals, under whose
coat of coarse long hair lies the soft
fur that is their disastrous possession,
are examples of the cared seals. In
these the hind legs are turned forward
and are used in floundering along the
ground in series Of awkward leaps.

q human species we must go back
to the time when man proper,
as we know him, had not as
yet arrived on this planet. Our
great biologists have irrefutable
evidence that everything in Nature
works on a slow, laborious plan, one
species being developed slowly into
another from the smallest animal
cula up to present man.
When man still was in the what
we may call animal stage, i.e., when
he was not thinking" as that term
is understood, he was wholly guided
by instinct. His Thoughts" if so
they may be called, probably were
on much lower plane than thoughts
Of the average dog The chances
are that the presentday dog prob
ably "thinks" much better than pre-
historic man. We also find that
thought and language go hand in
hand. Crudely speaking, prehistoric
man had no better language than
any highly developed animal, such
as dog, cat or horse.
Through thousands of years of
evolution, however, instinct de-
veloped into crude thought, and final
ly there came a time when pre-
historic man really began to think,
as we know the term. That was the
time when he began to utter his
thoughts by means Of his voice. At
first only a few crude words were
formulated, and probably consisted
of not much more than the gibber-

Schroeder, who believes
that, with due preparation, he can
climb to an altitude of more than
10000 feet. The story of his flight
for height he tells in popular
Mechanics" as follows:
Il have been connected with avia-
ton since 1910, and during this time
| have worked as a mechanic for some
of Americas leading pilots and gained
very valuable training. l was always
keen to learn all l could, and | dare
say that all my past experiences were
beneficial to me in my efforts to estab-
lish a new worlds altitude record.
The last worlds altitude record helo
by America was made in August, 1911,
when the late Lincoln Beachy made
a climb to II ,642 feet at the big avia-
ton meet in Chicago. Since that
time G. Legagneux, in France, made
climb to 20,258 feet on December
! %, 1918.
"In order to take an airplane to n
higher altitude than any other pilot
in the world I found that more than
one or two attempts would be neces-
sary. l made three, the first taking me
to an altitude of $4,000 feet, the sec
ond to $4,000 feet, and the last to
800 feet, all of which would have
been worlds records, and now I feel
certain that with a few changes and
improvements l can get to 10000 feet.
Sensations
"The following experiences and SEN
sations which I noticed during my
flight were due to lack of oxygen.
took off at 1:45 p. M, September
IS, 1918, and made steady westerly
climb, passing through clouds at 5000,
10000 and $4,000 feet. At 10000 feet,
while still climbing in large circles,
my goggles became frosted, making it
very difficult to watch the Instruments
The temperature at this altitude was
18 degrees centigrade below zero When
l reached 25o00 feet l noticed the
sun growing very dim, I could hardly
hear my motor run, and l felt very
hungry.
"The trend of my thought was that
it must be getting late, that evening
must be coming on, and that this was
the reason the sun was getting SO dim.

OLD PACO CEMETERY TO GO
Famous Burial Place in Manila, More
Than Century Old, Is Threatened
With Demolition.

Manila faces the demolition Of the
old Pace cemetery, which has always
been very interesting to visitors. The
cemetery was built in 1910, in the form
of two circular walls, an outer and an
inner wall of great thickness. In
these walls are burial inches sealed
with marble stones bearing the usual
inscriptions, and before each niche is a
marble shelf on which lighted candles
and flowers are often placed. In the
center of the circle is a modest chapel.
At the extreme rear of the Enclosure
is what remains Of the ''bone pit" a
most necessary institution, for the
inches are rented for a period of five
years only, and if friends and relatives
OF the deceased failed to pay the rental
for another five years the bones were
unceremoniously removed from their
niche and dumped into this pit. The
"epitaph" before this common resting
place of the remains of the forgotten
is a tablet ornamented in relief by q
pile of skulls and crOssbones.

Thousands Have Kidney

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly N direct touch with

has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root IL

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishinR statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re
jected Is because kidney trouble Is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It IL on sale
