But lathe world becoming ao beings will be extinct, or is it reverting to the cave-man era in which brute strength held sway!"
That is the question that science can answer only by theory nd speculation. But science, represented by Sir Arthur Keith,; the noted English anthropologist. has just presented a theory that man in the distant future will not be a super-intellectual creature, immersed in abstruse problems and lofty conceptions. bat a person of robust physical" con- stitution with much of the animal about him.
Sir Arthur is a prominent and distinguished anatomist, and I agree with many of the things, he has said," says Dr. Milton J. Greenman, anthropologist and anatomist at the head of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy, 36th street and Woodland Avenue
He has some grounds for his statement. In other words, it means that if brute man does not exist the intellectual man cannot exist.
"That is to say the intellectual is rot & breeder. He does not generally produce more of his kind: It is probably true that an intellectual individual may give rise to an intelligent individust. But a non-intellectual may broed, a pure intellectual. Wo often hear of families, intelligent, cul- tured, who in time run out, and then a distant relative may begin all over again and in time that family springs up again" as in tellectuals."

its Value and Place.
Time, and time alone, will decide the value and place of) modern music, according to Josef | Hofmann, pianiat and composer, who three times a week comes to Philadelphia to give instruction onthe piano at the Curtis Insti- tus af Music.
"Modern music? Ah, yes, I think it is very fine," said Mr. Hofmann, with just a trace of accent in his mellifuous voice, to a Publis Leder man. "It is pononal. The artist says: "This is the way I want it so it must benight. But time only will show what is right. Some contemporary Composere will live-some will die. It is a natural selacton-just like human beings.
"There are many young com. posers, not alone in this age, but in all the other ages, who have faded into obscurity. Some are completely forgettan-as if they nover lived. Others are remem- bered by their compositions. But no man's complete works are ever | remembered or played. Twenty year ago Mendelssohn was a favourite. Now he is not often played. Rubenstein was on the programme of every pianist's recill some years ago. Now he is. never played.
