SEES POSSIBLE FALL OF MAN
May Sink to the Level Of
Lower Savaoes.

"Some millions of years from now
an entirely new and more highly or
ganlzed animal may spring from some
ancestral stock now relatively OBJ
scure and rise, at first slowly and
then more rapidly, TO even greater
heights of achievement than anything
which ues within the capacity Of the
human species"
After tracing the geologic evolution
of the earth 80 far as man knows 1T,
DIR. Eliot Blackwelder Of Harvard uni
versity, at the meeting of the geolog.
zeal societies of the American AssOcla-
ton for the Advancement of Science,
In Toronto, Canada, In these words
suggested the possibility Of future
usurper Of mans pre-eminent place on
earth.
"As our modern civilization becomes
more and more specialized and diver
sihed, our relations TO our environ
ment become more and more complex
and our adjustments more delicate
Doctor Blackwelder said.
"Eventunlly, after all the latest pos

HACKERS ARE KEPT GUESSING
About One OF the Most Uncertain
Sporting Events imaginable Is a
Cockroach Race.

Russian refugees In Constantinople
turn their hands to all sorts of money
making devices. The latest and most
successful are cockroach races. These
are held In rooms which the Russians
hire along the Grand Rue de Pera.
The story as told by Kenneth l.. Rob
erts in the Saturday Evening Post, is
that In the center of each room Is
large table with u miniature race
track built on 1t. The owner places
box at one end of the track and waits
until his patrons have made their bets
on five contestants. Then he opens
the box and discloses five enormous
cockroaches attached to dlminutiye
sulkles. AS the box is opened four of
the contestants may start briskly
around the track, while the fifth may
turn abruptly and canter In the wrong
direction amid Notwithstanding groans
from those who are backing his colors.
Then the leader Of the four racers who
are headed In the right direction may
stop short and twiddle his feelers pen
slVely, ana the other three may also
stop and cluster around him to lnves-
tigate the cause of the delay. While
the conference is In progress the cock
roach that started the wrong way may
change his mind, turn and come dash
Ing past the four idlers with his eyes
flashing and his tail up. Then the four
idlers may recover from their mo-
mentary ennul start brlskly up the
track again and pass the fifth contest
