marizing racial and tribal stages, has
been vigorously attacked, even by sci
entiSts. According to evolutionfsts,
the progress from a one-celled organ
ism, merely a tiny bit of protoplasm,
to the multicellular organisms, Is by
an accretion of cells, with later To-
calization of functions. This process,
they say, is exactly paralleled in the
first stage of the growth of an en-
bryo. There is multiplication of cells
by direct cell division, until the whole,
at a stage called the bastocele, resem-
bles a tiny, wormlike sea-dwelling
creature, with an imagination mark
ing the beginning of the digestive
tract. A few days later the embryo
resembles a fish, later a reptile, and
still later a young calf or pig. The
beginning Of a heart in an unborn
child is a straight tube, open at both
ends, exactly like the heart of the
lancelet, the wormlike ancestor of the
fishes. Later 1t has three chambers,
like the hearts of the reptiles. At the
last stage 1t acquires the four cham
bers found in the hearts of man and
of the other mammals. At one stage
the human embryo has gill Sits, re-
sembling the gills Of fishes, and chill
dren have been born with these gill
Sits still retained. Later 1t has an ex-
ternal movable and muscled tail, like
the tails Of monkeys. In the growing
embryo the first kidney is in the neck,

1nce, not a brilliant man, but capable
and of an oM aristocratic family.
Patrician his lineage on both sides,
and patrician was San Martin to his

In 1888 the family returned to
Madrid, and the young son was placed
in the Seminary of the Mobiles, where,
because Of a poor preparation and his
youth, he learned little save the rudi-

his heart was the blue and white uni
form of the soldiers that when he, in
later years, organized his Deathless
Army of the Andes, it was the old
familiar colors that freed a continent.
The instruction most valuable to the
young soldier at this time came from
fighting under Gen. Ricardos, acknowl-
edged as Spain'S greatest tactician
during these eventful years. That he
was an apt pupil, his own general
ship in his homeland was to evidence.
Ricardos recognized ability and daring
in the cadet and made him a lieu

this training Ricardos little guessed,
for he was a veritable god of war,

In the painting of San Martin by
kronstrand, we see an almost imperial
power emanating from the distinguish
ed general high, straight brow that
houses a strong and healthy brain;
fearless dark eyes. softened by dreams

aquiline nose of the conquerors of

is free from animal passions.
1t has been said of him that he
was not man but a mission.

beauty of that and clothed it in the
passion for service and in the per-
fection of the patrician that was San
Martin.

his personality aided his genius.
A glimpse into Martins character
reveals him as cold and aloof, two
traits that at this period in his life
were something of a detriment to
him. Silent and stern he was. two
attributes that were to make Miriam
da's dream a reality, for had he re-
vealed his plans at the wrong time
or relaxed his discipline over his
emerging army. failure had been his
lot. To this day no one has been
able to tell officially what took place
between him and Bolivar when they
met, although that meeting was for
Martin the call for sacrifice, for
remuneration so vital that it has few,
if any. parallels in lay history.
A complete absence Of selfseeking
! made him as disinterested a patriot

cause with him and never his own
power and glory, for power such as
few men ever hold he laid aside for
the good Of the country he loves.

canny gift of evaluating accurately
the ability of others, which enabled
him to surround himself with a staff
of assistants that could achieve the de-

ITH what cool nationality
Nn did James Bryce weigh the
wv value of whatever his logi-
cal mind took under con-
sideration, to the end that
his lack Of prejudice won hum hlgn
place in the estimation of the Ameri-
ran people, among whom he spent
many years as British Ambassador
and as traveller. One turns to him
for a judgment upon varied matters,
not the least of which are those relat-
Ing to the birth and the development
of republics.

try. had learnt war under the Duke

And again: ''In most of the repub-
lies (of South America) political con-
ditions have been so unstable as to
give little scope for constructive states
nanship. Still there is no want Of
vigor, and it is something to have pro-
duced in San Martin one truly heroic
