London.â€"More than 1100 vessels, totaling 995,133 net register tons, used the Port of London during the week ending Aug. 15. Of these 542 were to and from colonial and foreign ports and 564 were engaged in coastwise traflie. The place has a particular appeal because of the quaintness of many of the tombs and the originality of the epitaphs In nearly every cemetery where people are buried can be found monuments and inscriptions where bad taste is glaringly evident. _ But here on Wrecker‘s Island one finds a pleasing exception. Every monument attests good taste, simplicity and sinâ€" cerity. Even among the thousands of inscriptions there are only a very few which will bring a smile by reason of their excessive sentimentality, The number of famous people who have taken plots for their pets is large. Among them there are such names aSs. Edmond Rostand, Saint Saens, Sacha Guitry, the Princess Lobanoff, and the (Grand Duke Nicholas. Thero are many famous â€" inscriptions, notably being Victor Hugo‘s "A dog is virtue, which having unable to become a man, is & beast instead," and "The more I see of men, the more I love my dog," by Parâ€" cal.

One of the strict regulations of the Society is that no tomb can be erected which in any way. resembles those in burial grounds for men. No religious symâ€" bois are permitted. a Fortunately not all the sites have been paid for in perpetuity, or there would be room for no more interments. The price of a square metre of earth for all time is 3,000 francs. But many people could not afford a resting place for their pets for more than from two or three years. Yet the island is rapidâ€" (On this island in the Seine one finds the finest expression of man‘s rememâ€" brance of his dumb comrades who have shared his lot. The humblest workman and great princes, authors, painters, musicians, every class of peoâ€" ple, have bought burial plots in this secluded spot. Its wooded six acres were originally the rendezvous of apaâ€" ches.

The early Egyptians were very parâ€" ticular about giving their animals speâ€" elal burial; the cat and the bull played important parts in the life of the naâ€" tion, and were buried in separate graves over which a monument was raised Men during all ages have been kind to animals. During the Midâ€" die Ages people treated their dumb beasts with particular kindness to compensate them for the immortality which was denied them. In recent and present times there have been numerâ€" ous private cemeteries for animals, the most famous of these, perhaps beâ€" Ing the one which Queen Victoria had‘ at Windsor for her departed pets, and that of Frederick the Great at SansI lovers have paid last tribute to cats, horses, monkeys, parrots, canaries and carrier pigeons.

The hair, especially in men, is being lost prematurely; the teeth are weakened in resistance, there are troubles in eruption, and some of the dental units tend to disappear. The facial changes, while favoring a greater variety and higher range of the voice, lead often to disturbing irâ€" regularities of the nasal structures | and palate. The weakenings through ' less use of the feet and other organs (appendix, muscles, etc.) result in ’difficulties‘ even dangers. _ Great mental application favors digestive | and other disorders. But all these adâ€" l vantages are being checked by adapâ€" | tations and have but moderate effect !of retardation on the general evoluâ€" ‘tionary progress of civilized man. \ In the light of man‘s past and his | present it is very likely that he will continue to progress in adaptation, | refinement and differentiation. But ‘this applies only to the main stream of humanity, the civilized man. The ‘rest will be more or less brought | along, or left behind. _ The skull will in all probability be still thinner than it is today, and will likely grow fuller laterally and anteroâ€" posteriorly, due to developments in the directions of least resistance, The inâ€" dications are that the hair on the head will be further weakened. The staâ€" ture promises generally to be even somewhat higher than today among the best nourished and least repressed groups. The face is likely to iecome‘ more refined, handsome, and with more character, partly on account of intensifying intelligent sexual selecâ€" tion, partly through further reduction of the bony parts consequent upen diminished mastication. and partly through the further development of the frontal portion of the skull, The eyes will be deeper set, the nose promâ€" inent and rather narrow, the mouth still smaller, the chin more prominent, thke jaws even more moderate and The progress of the advancing parts of the race may be foreseen to be esâ€" sentially towards even greater merâ€" tal efficiency and potentiality. The further mental developments may hbe expected to be attended by an addiâ€" tional increase in brain size; although the gross increase will be of but modâ€" erate proportions,. The main changes will be in the internal organization of the brains, in greater bloodâ€"supply, greater general effectiveness, The features, the hands, the feei are becoming more refined, and genâ€" eral beauty is on the increase, in both men and women. The sensory organs and centres, particularly those of sight, hearing and taste, are evidently growing more effective as well as wore resistant. And there is an unâ€" questionable advance in civiliz»d man of mental effectiveness and mental endowments. _ Records in endurance and in accomplishments are ever being surpassed, and in modern commerce, industry, finance. science, applied arts, bring to light mental giant after menâ€" tal giant. He lives longer and better. He sufâ€" fers less physically. Elimination of the less fit has largely changed to elimination of the unfit only _ Less mother‘s and child‘s hard labor, more and better food, with exercise, sport and personal hygiene, are bringing about an increase in stature of civilâ€" ized man, while less use of the jaws and muscles of mastication is reducâ€" ing the jaws, the breadth, protrusion and massiveness of the face. The head in general among the cultured is becoming slighly broader and larger, the skull and facial bones thinner, the physiogromy more lively and expresâ€" sive. The n:ain phenomena of human difâ€" ferentiation or "evolution" throughâ€" out the past, are on one hand a proâ€" gressive mentality, or. the other hand a progressive physical adaptation and eventual refinement. It is a woniderâ€" ful and, in general, sustained progress from the more or less apeâ€"like precurâ€" sor to the highest type of man ard woman of today, The present is mereâ€" ly a developing continuation of the past. Man still appears to be as plasâ€" tic in body and mind as ever he as, probab.y even more so; he is still struggling with environment, though controlling it more and more every day; and he still changes. \ ture?" asks Ales Hrdlicka, Curator of Anthropology, U.S. National Museun:, in "Evolution." He continues: If we had a perfect knowledge of the human l past we should be abie to understand ourselves much more fully and appreâ€" ciate the changes that are now going on in the human species. However, there are certain facts which we don‘t ’know, and from which we carn make intelligent deductions for the future. We know that man has developed, in ’all probability, gradually, from the ‘nearest subhuman forms, under the exciting influence of environment.. During his progress he differentiated into numerous types and races, thei less successful of which have become extinct. He is still substantially atâ€" tuned t Nature, though the relation is weakened through his artificialities. Man multiplied very slowly up until the end of the last main glaciation; from that time he began to spread all over the habitable eartl, the various types and races all developing from one human species.

So much for normal conditions. There is, regrettably also the debit side to be considered. Man hasâ€"ever paid for his advance, is paying now, and will pay in future. Functional disorders, digestive, secretive, eliminâ€" ative, disorders of sleep and sexual, can ;.ot but multiply with the increasâ€" ing stresses, eruptions and absorpâ€" tions. Mental derangements will probâ€" ably be more frequent. Destructive diseases such as diabetes, and various skin troubles, will probably increase until thoroughly understood and hinâ€" dered. The teeth, the mouth, the nose, the eyes and ears, will ever call for increased attention. The feet will trouble. Childbirth will not be easier nor less painful; though assistance will equally rise in effectiveness. Due to prolonged life, heart troubles, apoplexies, cancer and senile weakâ€" nesses of all sorts, will tend to be more common, until mastered by mediâ€" cine. All this, with many social abâ€" normalities, will retard man‘s proâ€" gress but will not stop it, for the indiâ€" cations are that he will rise equal to all his growing needs as they develop and begin to hurt. If there is a danâ€" ger to human future, it is in the lowâ€" | ered birthrate. | As man advances in knowledge ke will grow to understand what is best for him. so that it will be easier for him to follow theâ€"right road. He will advance in the control of nature; he will betver understand disease and its antidotes and immunization. GREAT GLORY There is no likeners of Him Whose name is Great Glory.

Physiologically, the tendencies indiâ€" cate a rather more rapid pulse and respiration with slightly increased temperatureâ€"in other words, a liveâ€" lier rather than a slower metabolism. But substantial changes will probably require millenniums; the functions are %0 firmly established for any quick change. The body will tend to slenderness in youth, the breasts smaller, the pelâ€" vis little affected, the lower limbs lonfer, the upper shorter, the hands and feet narrower, and the fingers and toe: more slender, with the fifth toe further diminishing. As to the internai organs, the most obvious probabilities are a further weakening and diminution of the appendix, and a shortening, with diminution of caâ€" pacity f the intestines As food will likely be more refined and made more digestible, the zsecessity of a spacious large intestine will diminish in oreâ€" portion.
