made man the master of his own
evolution.
OF course at the stage noted the
mind" is yet to come. But it is now
an inevitable thing, for the improve
ment achieved makes the newly de-
veloped species gregarious. Superior
individuals learn to dominate their
fellows. Communication becomes
necessary. Language is developed
from grunts and squeaks. Society is
organized. Thoughts are expressed.
Thus from the bones and muscles Of
the legs, from the bones and muscles
of the hands, an intellectual devel-
Opment" has been evolved. The great
thing was to get started. and the
start was the erect posture.
"Quod erat demonstrandum," says
the professor. But of course all this
is not a demonstration. 1t is only
speculation Sir Colin MacKenzie's
notion about the dependence of in
tellectual development on muscle is
pure Lamarckianism. Lamarck was
a French naturalist who was born in
1744 and died in 1929. He was the
fOrerunner of Darwin, who accepted
his doctrine of acquired characters"
What Lamarck taught is concentered
in his account of the manner in
which the giraffe acquired his long
neck. An ordinary antelope who
lived in a South African region
where, from increasing aridity, food
for the antelope on the earth's sur
face disappeared, could Craze only at
the tops of trees. Such individual
beasts as had the longest necks could
reach food and survive. Those indi-
viduals survived when their shorter
necked fellows perished; it was they
who propagated their species, which
became increasingly long-necked. The
primitive man, getting on his feet in
the tall grass, is practically doing
the same thing that Lamarck's
giraffe did.
Sir Conlin MacKenzie's deductions
from the discovery of the skull in the
Australian desert demonstrate that
Lamarck is coming to his own in the
field of evolutionary science. They
demonstrate nothing else-that is, as
yet.-Boston Transcript.

AS SCIENCE VIEWS
ADVANCE OF MAN
Erect Position Put Him
Above Beasts.

From a single fossil skull discov-
cred in the desert wilds of Central
Australia, Sir Colin Mackenzie de-
duces the factor at least the con-
clusiOn-that "the erect posture dom
mates mans intellectual system, and
shows that all intellectual develop
ment has a muscular basis" At first
glance it is a little difficult to per-
ceive how a skull which is not a
whole skull, but only a portion of
one, and which is supposed to be, and
probably is, a relic of a primitive
kind Of human being, can teach the
scientist all that 1t takes a good
equipment of Imagination to under
stand it. We must first imagine the
creature from which man is descend
ed going on all fOurs. He had not
yet assumed the erect position. He
was then like any other beast of the
jungle. Any bigger beast might tread
him to death under it's feet. Mastery
was matter Of size. But one day,
the beast, groveling in the tall grass,
through some accident, or freak, or
the help of stump or rock, gets
upon his hind legs. In that position
he sees above the grass. He is en-
abled to observe the approach of the
possible mastodon who will grind
him to death, and to hide from him.
With his incident, this groveling crea-
ture's relative advance begins. From
that time on, he and his species strug-
gle toward the maintenance of an
erect position. They employ craft A.;
they learn a superior mode Of physi-
cal progression, and thereby they at
tain a superiority over other crea-
lures.
A step surely resulting from this
point IS the liberation of the crea-
lures forelegs from the function of
progression and their gradually in
creased usefulness in providing easier
means of subsistence. With practice,
now, the creatures front paws be-
come hands. By development, one
Of the paw projections which
once were mere claws becomes
a thumb, which by repeated
use becomes opposed to the other
claws-now fngers-so that the crea-
ture can seize and hold any article
Now the animal who is on the road
to become a man has achieved a
point of superiority to the ape, all
Of whose fingers" are in a row
who does not possess the opposed
thumb. Counting by thousands of
centuries, the new man" now gets
beyond the ape by leaps and bounds.
Without the opposed thumb the man"
would have remained in the half
erected, or only occasionally erected
position of the ape. Together. the
erect posture and the opposed thumb

JUST BISCUITS

THE busy housewife should have
l. certain recipes fixed in her mind
in order to save the trouble of
turning to the recipe book when she
wants TO prepare a meal in a hurry
She should know the proportions
needed for baking powder biscuits.
Here they are:
| cup -four to 2 level tbs.
level tsp. bak- shortening
ing powder Is cup liquid
4 teaspoon salt
The amount of shortening, which
may be all lard, half lard and half
butter or some good lard substi-
tute, depends on the desired rich
ness of the biscuits. Milk or wa.
ter or half milk with half water is
used for the liquid.
A good short cake to use with
berries or sliced peaches is made
from this recipe, using two level ta
blespOonfuIs of shortening and 8
teaspoonful of sugar if desired. II

PETER LEARNS MANY
THINGS

HARDLY had Peter Rabbit left
IL Whitefoot the Woodmouse
when he discovered some new
tracks in the snow, and right away
he was all curiosity.
"NOw whose can these be, l won
der?" thought he.
They were quite different from
the tiny tracks of WhitefoOt. In
the first place then were so much
larger. Then, too, they were quite
far apart in little groups of four,
two little round ones and two quite
long ones.
"Of course" said Peter to him
self, "the little ones are the prints
of front feet. and the long ones are
the prints of hind feet. They are
just a little like my own prints,
only not so big. | guess I'll follow
them and see where they lead to-"
So Peter starter off lipperty-
perty-lip, for these tracks were very
easy to follow. He had followed

marks OF toena'ls. Whoever had
made those tracks did just as he
did, put the hind feet down in front
of the fOrefeet, and here he had
been following them in the wrong
direction. No wonder he didn't
catch up with any one. My, how
foolish Peter did feell He looked
this way and that way to make sure
that no one had seen what he had
been doing, and then he turned
about and started back the way he
had come as fast as he could go.
When he reached the place where
he had first begun to follow the
tracks he kept right on. Presently
he came to a place where some one
had dug down through the snow.
Beside the little hole was an empty
nutshell. Peter stopped and right
away he lost all interest. Pooh y
he exclaimed. "Pm not going to
waste my time following any far

Jack Squirrel, and he's at home In
bed now. Funny | didn't think OF
him before. Next time ! see his
tracks I'll know them so perhaps my
time hasn't been wholly wasted" "
With this Peter once more went
looking for tracks. and he didn't
have far to look. This time they
were big round tracks in a single
row. Peter look one good look at
them and that was enough.
"Reddy Fox" he exclaimed IN
der his breath. This is no place
for me if he is about. There Is one
good thing, and that is they head
away from where | have been. /
hope he won't take ii into his head
to come over this way"
Making the longest jumps he knew
how, Peter hurried off to another
part of the Green Forest, and there
presently he forgot all about Reddy

of tracks. These were in a double
row, and it was very plain to Peter
that whoever made them was in no

Tidal Phenomena

There is only one high tide and
one low tide in the Gulf of Mexico
each day. The diurnal inequality
has become exaggerated to such an
extent as practically to extinguish
the semi-diurnal tide in the inner
parts of the gulf, giving high and
low water only once daily. Nor
mally there are two high and two
low tides every "a hours, but there
are numerous variations in tidal phe-
nomena in various parts of the

them quite a distance without dis
covering anybody when he happened
to look back at his own tracks. Then
he stopped abruptly and sat up.
First he looked at his own tracks
and then he looked at the other
tracks, and a very foolish look crept
over his face. He had noticed
what he had quite forgotten and
this was that in hopping he put his
hind feet down in front of his
fore feet so that anyone who
didn't know that would think from
his tracks that he was going in
just the opposite direction from
what he was. He looked a little
closer at the tracks he had been fol-
lowing and now he could see the
