human Evolution.

Has human evolution come to ar
end?
Edwin Grant Conklin, professor Of
biology in Princeton University, asks
this question in one of his lectures
and then proceeds to answer it. Here
are his conclusions:
The physical evolution of man is
complete.
For at least ten thousand years
there has been no notable progress
in the evolution Of the human body
and it is improbable that the hand
the eye, or the brain of man will eve,
be much more complex or perfect
than at present
Since the beginnings of recorded
history there have been very few anc
wholly minor evolutionary changes IL
the body of man.
Chief among these are the decreaS'
ing size of the little toe, and perhaps
corresponding increase in the size
CT the great toe; decreasing size ane
! value of wisdom teeth; and probably
general lowering of perfection o.
sense organs.
Compared to the enormous change:
which led to the evolution of mar
from pre-human ancestors, ths
changes are insignificant and unim
portant.
The intellectual development of MAJ
is also conr,ete.
This is perhaps the most startling
conclusion of DR.. Conklin, but h
backs up his statement with som'
very interesting data.
To understand the statement, it j!
necessary to distinguish between in
tellect and knowledge, between th'
capacity for knowing and thing
known.
knowledge is growing constantly
we are heirs to the ages" becaus'
each generation passes on to its sue
cessor all that it acquires.
"But is intellectual capacity increas
| ing ?" asks DR.. Conklin.
"Does anyone think that in the pas
1000 or 1900 years there has beer
any increase in human intellect com
parable with the increase in knowl
edge? Do the best minds OF toda!
excel the minds Of Socrates and Plat
and Aristotle?
"On the contrary, it is the opinion
of those who have studied the subJec
most that no modern race Of men il
the equal Intellectually of the ancien
Greek race.

and 300 B. c., the relatively barrel
and small country of Attica, with al

SIGHTS AND SCENES
AROUND CHICAGO.

Chicago, scene of the Republican
National Convention, is the subject
of a bulletin from the National Geo.
graphic Society, based on a commun-
ication from William Joseph Sho-
walter, as follows:
Geography made Chicago. Its po-
sition at the foot Of the Great Lakes
resulted in its evolution as the farth-
est, inland terminus Of navigation Of
the inland seas. |
Made what it is by the processes
of geography, Chicago soon returned
the compliment by helping geography |
transform other regions. It's slaugh- |
tering and packing industry has
changed the center of gravity of the
meat-producing world. Its agricul-
tural-implement industry has revised
the economic status of more than half
of the inhabitants of the earth. Its
sleeping car industry has entirely re-
vised the geography Of travel, bring
ing hundreds of places separated by
mountain and plain closer to each
other.
1T is interesting to pause for a
bird 's-eye inventory Of what the city,
lis today, Fourth In population, it
franks first among the worlds great
urban centers in many ways, No 9th
er place butchers as much meat,
makes as much machinery, builds as
many cars, sells as much grain, or
handles as much lumber.
1.-THE Michigan Avenue is major
feature of the now-famous Chicago
Plan. The beautiful highway, with
it's connecting arteries, unites the
North Shore with the South Side. For
years this thoroughfare has been the
pride of Chicago and the admiration
of all who visit the city. AS part
of the Lake Shore drive that links the
woods of southern Wisconsin with
the plains Of northern Indiana, it is

from the statement that the basement

"And yet the structure covering
