The Slav people throughout the
world hold more to religious customs
than any of the peoples of western
Europe. Many Of these beautiful old
customs were created and preserved
by the Bulgarians during the five cen
turtles under Turkish rule. The peo
pie, as a rule, also call upon the
clergy to perform ceremony for what
would appear, in western Europe, most
trivial things. In addition to the cere-
mony performed in the case of mar
riages births and deaths, the cutting
of the first sod and the laying of
foundation for new house or public
building, the opening of a new street,
building, public garden, or a factory,
etc, without religious ceremony is
considered as an i'll omen. Immedi-

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 persisted; 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 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 muscular basis" At first
glance it is little difficult to per-
ceive how a skull which, is not
whole skull, but only portion of
Dne, and which is supposed to be, and
probably is, 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 tours. 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,

abled to observe the approach of the
possible mastodon who will grind

With his incident, this groveling crea-
ure's relative advance begins. From
chat time on, he and his species strug-
gle toward the maintenance Of an
erect position. They emnloy craft;
hey learn a superior mode of physi-
,al progression, and thereby they at

lures.
A step surely resulting from this
point is the liberation Of the crea-

progression and their gradually in

THE STORY

In New Orleans, in 1921, Loren
Garde, recently an officer under
General Jackson, is surprised by
the appearance, in ancient Span
ish costume Of two men and
woman whose beauty enchants
him. Resenting the arrogance of
tho elder OF the two men, Garde
fights with him and wounds him.
He learns his opponent is Adolfo
de Fuentes, colonel in the Span
ish army in Venezuela. Garde
oyerhears a plot to overthrow
Spanish rule in Venezuela. Dis
covered, he fights. but is over
powered and made prisoner on
the Santa Lucrecia, ship bearing
arms for the Venezuelans. On
board are the consplrators, the
lady Of his love, her brother Po-
Tito, and De Fuentes. From the
girl, Garde learns her name is
Dulce Lamartina. He loves her,
but does not reveal his love. The
vessel is wrecked. Garde reaches
the Venezuelan shore, alone. He
encounters stranger and sees
Dulce. The stranger, Captain
Monahan Of the British legion
under Bolivar, directs him to
friends in Caracas. There, sup
piled by Monahan with the Sc
cret sign of the patriots, he is
welcomed at the revolutionary
headquarters. Garde attends the
wedding Of Dulce and De Flu
entes. Dulce recognizes him and
leaves De Fuentes at the altar.
She is torn from Garde's arms.
He escapes. Finding Garde, Dulce
tells him her wedding to De
Fuentes was to have been the
price of Garde's life. They re-
veal their mutual love. Garde is
made prisoner. From De Fuentes
he learns Dulce has disappeared.
He is rescued from prison by
revolutionist, Manuel, and with
Polito sets out for Bolivar's
camp. They are intercepted by
Venezuelan soldiers. Garde dis
covers his companion of the
night has been Dulce, and is dis
mayed by his lack of perception.
Dulce escapes, but Garde is
seized.

CHAPTER VII
Simon Bolivar

AS the three of us rode slowly down
the beach toward Camatagua, where
Bolivar had his headquarters, / gave
to Francisco an account of all that
had befallen since the waves had cast
me into the Jungle The sun was high
when we approached at last the in
significant town of Camatagua, which,
because Of the presence of the Lib
orator, had assumed an aspect of
great Importance.
Bolivar had become, in my magma
ton, a sort of superhuman influence,
a mortal barrier-reef upon which the
attacks Of Spain had broken and
spent their force. l wondered what
manner of man he was, this being to
whom the eyes of Venezuela were
turned in fervent hope, for whose
safety and success prayers had been
offered up in many thousands of hum
BILE homes, whose ranks were filled
with patriots eager to spend their
lives in his service and who has been
called, by our own brilliant Henry
Clay, the "Washington of South Amer
ica."
"There he isl" Francisco cried.
Before us lay spacious, brown
rock house with red-tiled roof and
pillared porch, the home, no doubt, of
some prosperous Spanish planter.

columns. Just why had expected to

not know, unless it be that l could not
imagine so many units of greatness,
so many talents, in man of normal
proportions.
"Is that Bolivar?" / asked. And l
had come to offer service to this man!
Francisco smiled at the evident con-
Germ in my voice. "The bullfrog, my
young Garde, judges one by the length
of ones hop, or the resonance of ones
voice, for the bullfrog only hops, or
sings. The giant mind, my friend,
may not seek the body of a giant"
"Too true Francisco" l agreed,
''for, had exercised my muscles less
and my brain more | should not have
spent my life in foolish blunderings."
Dismounting, walked between the
republican officers toward the house,
and Bolivar descended the two rock
steps and stood, waiting, on the flag

country that, already, l had become

to be only an onlooker in this, my own

very little interest in it. I found one

her life into my hands. l smiled at
the thought of her masquerade. Had

Colonel PM scowled. "What of it.
