ORIGIN OF MAN.

A ip tljeqry of the origin of man ha; been put forth by a' Brofossor Gherko, who has proved, at least to his own satisfaction,' that the aboriginal Americans and the people of of Europe/ are descended from' Pqlar. Bears.. Towards the end/ qf the glacical argu'ea,'these bears fjoated. South cftf „ bergs, could no,t return, anc[ we're obliged/ to malco the best of 'their now environ*-.' - ments. They gradually shed their Alpine coats, adopted a lighter fur, desiring ' t« Jreon at least qne' pajr' qf feet. $£ took to waging qn their hind te,|i)j in the course of a few thousands of millions of years the forelegs became arms and the bears men. Professor Gherko founds his theory on structural peculiarities, and it is interesting to note that his conclusions have been accepted and his proofs expanded by the well-known T> scientist attached to the New York Times. This meant adopts the theory because of T the close resemblance which he finds between the habits of bears, who have not in outward guise become men, and men, who have the habits, .of bears. The bear is, for instance, inordinately fond of whisky, and. this has been noted in many men. The tendency of man to squeeze objects-such as the female of hia species—is inherited from his ursine ancestor, and the habit of growling when displeased is obvious in its origin. A bear standing on its hind legs in moments of excitement, and frantically U waving its forepaws, is said to bear a !•>/* marvellously close resemblance excited politician addressing a mga meeting, and pointing out to the aufiffie with vigorous gesficijlation the immediate .necessity of turning out pregont administration.

BALLOON RACES. Balloon races are about to be started ill Paris. A stuoplechaso do baloon is announced. Tlie start will take place at some point within tho fortifications, and the Church spire of 0110 of tho neighbouring villages will be fixed upon as the winning post. It will then be for the jockeys, or rather the captain, to explore tho different strata of the atmosphere till they meet with a favourable wind, and the more readily and skilfully a balloon is manoeuvred in this preliminary search' the better chance, of course, it will stand of reaching the appointed destination first. Other experiments (says .the Advocate) in ballooning were to take place in February. Great things are expected of an '" serial velocipede" just invented by an amateur. The motive power is supplied by wheels worked by pedals, as in an ordinary byciclc or tryciclc. M. Godard «A says that with this balloon it will be possible for him to take his station over a besieged city and. drop into it two thousand pounds weight of bombs, |f HEMEMBtiR THIS.
