The minister was kept at his post | in Paris until a few minutes before | the train departed for the boat, by the formalities of signing the Fran- co-German commercial treaty. He left greatly perturbed for fear he would not arrive in time to reach Toronto for the opening of the an-| nual meeting of the Canadian Bar assoclation today, and also for fear he might be delayed at Ellis Tsland | as he had no time to get an Ameri- | can vise on his passport The French minister said of the| American Legion convention in Paris that it was “absurd” to fear it would be marred by further Sac- co-Vanzett! disorders.

He said the theory of evolution is the best working hypothesis there is today, but scientists are becoming more cautious in making to Rev ences between certainty and proba- bility.

Pearson, 76, Patrolman Patrick Flynn at and Elm streets at § o'clock this Balczewski | Continuing, he said: “There is in some quarters & tendency to look upon any eriti- cism of the theory of evolution as a sign of narrow-mindedness, or of blind adherence to a worn-out re- ligious tradition. But it must not be forgotten that the theory of evolu- tion, like any other scientific the- ory, is subject to revision, re-state- ment, improved formulation, and that it must assimilate new facts, and review its estimates of old ones. And this is precisely what it is do- ing. “Witness the recent controversy one hand and his co-worker Pro- fessor Gregory on the other, re- garding the evolution of man. Both these distinguished scientists are far from being unfriendly to the theory—quite the contrary. But like sane &cientists they are, they are cautions in drawing conclusions be- ond the facts, avolding the dog- matism of the semi-scientist on the | one hand and on the other the easy credulity of those who do not want to exert themselves in the labor of accurate thinking. “Whatever criticlsm may appear !in the present lecture is directed not against the thcory as such, but | against the exaggerations current in | the ideas of a good many people, regarding what is popularly called “The Cave Man.” A widely prevalent idea of “The Cave Man" is that he was a semi-intelligent, semi-moral, physically violent creature, with few or none of the finer human instincts, or feelings, with no moral code, except a code of force and sensuality, and with no religious in- stincts except an ancestor worship based on fear and superstition. “How far is this picture of the cave man based on fact?

For example, a savage crea- | ture is a human creature, but it is | a culture of a very low degrec. Similarly there are, and have been. low degrees of civilization, and low‘ degrees of intelligence, where both the civilization and the intelligence are undoubtedly human. In fact the history of the human race is the history of progress from low to higher and still higher degrees of and civilization. We have no Thesitation in saying that the known facts about prehistoric man show him to have always been a man as we are, differing from us indeed in degree of mental and cultural civilization, but by no means differing from us in kind, so that of him we could say to all the are entertaining the mem- | the popular un- | the differ- | world, ‘This was a man.’ “We can only refer, in passing, to |Chesterton’s pregnant obscrvation that the very name ‘Prehistoric Man’ involves a contradiction, be- cause history began with man, hence |cannot antedate man. It cannot |even mean the man who existed be- fore written history, because, as we | shall see, man has left authentic records, which are not written ones. |Nor can we delay upon Chesterton’s insistence that the name of ‘Cave Man’ is not of absolutely exact pro- priety; for he may have lived fn tents, or in the open, and have | used caves only as burial places, or as refuges from his enemies, or as {temples of worship, or for other ! ceremonial purpo: “What are the facts regarding the | first men who inhabited the earth? | Or, to put it more 'are the records they have left us from which we may judge of their likeness to us? These records fall {into four man classes: Implements ! of stone, iron and bone; sculptures; | cave drawings; cave paintings. | “Implements were for domestic | {use, for hunting and fishing, for purposes of offense and defense, etc. | These implements are mostly made of stone and the stone is almost en- lm"Iy flint, or quartzite, obviously because flint and quartzite are the onl stone material that can be readily made into an implement with an edge, and that will keep that edge under reasonable use. The periods of prehistoric culture are named according to the degree of perfection of the chipping of the stone implements. Hence we have the Eolithic period, or ‘Down Stone Age;’ the Paleoithic, or ‘Ancient Stone Age;’ the Neolithic or ‘Recent Stone Age.’ There are many subdivi- | sions of each of the periods or ages, and they must be passed over here. “Many implements made of bone, of the staghorn and of ivory, belong to these ages. ment in design as the ages progress- ed. They show. in many cas treme skill in manufacture, in the adaptation of the meagre means to different ends; in other words, a definite technique was gradually de- veloped. Placed in similar primitive environments we moderns would have done no better; perhaps not nearly so well. The inference as to similarity of mentality between us and primitive man seems obvious. “There were splendid sculptures in bone, ivory, clay and other mate- rials; there were drawings and | sketches on the walls of caves. Striking Is the similarity between these drawings and those of primi- tive peoples now living, such as some of the Esquimaux, the Terra del Fuegous, the Veddabs of Ceylon, and the South African bushmen. “The most splendid monuments to the high degree of mental ability shown by primitive man are the numerous cave paintings, as in the cave of Altamira in Spain, and in the numerous caverns of the Dou- | gone region In France. These paint- ings are sometimes in four colors; they are admirable in execution, and often of high artistic excellence; some of them are in relief; they show keen and accurate observa- tion of nature. They show unques- tionably that primitive man was an artist, sometimes a very skillful ar- tist. Hence, to refer again to Ches- terton, he was a man, for art is the signature of man."
