Man Before HistOru

Kind lived through some Of its most
trying vicissitudes.
He was then almost As wild and
savage as the beasts with whom
he dwelt. Yet he early learned to
do what they have never been able
to accomplish. and have never even
imagined. !. e.. to make things Of
his own continuance, to improve
upon the conditions that nature al
lotted to him. and to initiate, In pic
ture and sculpture the living forms
that he saw around him. All these
things were rendered possible by the
evolution Of the human hand, and
Mons. de Morgan's theme Is in re-
atty the story Of that evolution or
more exactly Of its effects.
The critical epoch in the develop
ment of man was reached when his
forelimbs had become entirely free
from the duty of locomotion, 20 that
he habitually walked erect and be-
gan to use his hands and fingers for
tasks suggested by his growing
brain.
From that moment he was the
potential master of the earth.
Whether the anthropoids, the apes
and monkeys, might have rivaled
him by a similar development but
for some inhibition that their race
encountered, we may never know.
But 1t must always be remem-
bered that we have no information
concerning the doings Of man before
he had already been 80 far differen-
tiated from all other animals that he
was already human In figure. atti-
tude and psychic quality. Tho
earliest races of mon whose works
have been distinctly recognised were
the Cbelleans, Acheuleans and Nous
terians, names all derived from
places In France where the first dis
covertes relating to these people of
the dawn were made
One curious fact Ia that stone
and flint implements Of the Chel-
lean, Acheulean and Mousterian
type are found in many broadly
scattered parts Of the world. and
in both the Eastern and the West
ern continents. Mons. de Moran
remarks upon this phenomenon:
I'VE are led to conclude that the
same causes have produced the
same effects IN different times and
In different regions, and that the
paleolithic industry was born in
North America. in tho Indies. in
Australia, in southern Africa. and
perhaps in stiil other places. - wen
a In western Europe"

mark. And II proved to be the last
one from Vibbard. 1t was a lash
on the rawest flank of Storrow's
overtried nerves. yet a lash which
turned him aside from his inten-
ton of knocking the other man
down, as he had decided to do.
He declined to bestow on his
enemy even that qualified dignity.
Instead, he caught Vibbard by the
Avenue de la Paix cravat In which
nestled his Place Vendome cameo
and slapped his face. contorted with
sudden loud protests. from side to

was a slap with the open hand, pain

poisons which week by week he

prolonged physical inactivity of

seemed to obliterate itself in one
passionate and unreasonable out
