Never before in the history of the association has all indications been for a more successful week, and probably nevtr before has Secretary R. H.

The Parker Amusement company, one o! the biggest carnival companies in tbs Uniud States, will furnish amuse-1 meats for the thousands, while Ruzzi s famous Italian orchestra will give af ternoon and T-:nlng- concerts of an exceptionally bigh grade; v The latest attraction booked is Miss Tina, who will give triple para chute drops each day of the week, descending in thrilling fashion from dizzy heights, using three parachutes to reach terra flrina. Cn the turf, the six day relay race will probably be the big feature, many expert riders with good stiags of horses having enter ed the contest. , On Wednesday after noon will be given ihe 2:15 pace which is for a purs-3 of 15,000. while other dayof the big week will have equally as attractive drawing cards.

Go Jewelers and Opticians : AN ANTIQUATED GUN. "El Csmllo," at Wsst Point, a Rlio of : 1 ths Mexican Wsr. Among the old gnn from past wnrx on Trophy point there is one that is fondly remembered by every Ki-ndunte of the West Tolut Military academy: It Is "El Camllo." literally "the camel." a relic of the Mexican war, but datintt fur buck of thut. This nntiqmited piece of ordnance, which l three mrti silver and pnlnted a light (rreen, bears its oame und the royal cout of arms of Spain over, an inscription relntlux that it was thi property of the regiment of the Golden Fleece, commissioned under Ferdinand and tsubella at the time when Colum bus set out on bis famous voydge to discover a new world. ; " It would be interesting to know what the Spanish grandees would have thought if they could hare foreseen that the very can non! which probably thundered god speed to the explorer would one day be captured by the unborn nation of the undiscovered continent to which Co lumbus was bound. Tbc ancient jtun was probably carried to Mexico lis part of the armament of a Spanish ship and many years later was pressed into nenlce iu the . Mexican army, where the "sinews of war" were al ways at a premium. It was taken at Monterey, by the Americans and sent to West Folnt a the most appro piinte place for such an Interesting relic.

Man's Original Shad Is Believed to Havs Ben a Brownish Yellow The 8ame Forces That Made Men White, Black and Yellow Still Operating. Man's original color and tbe cause of the changes in that color to tbe various hues that mark the skins of tbe differ ent races have long been a study among men of science. ; . ....... The theory of Frof essor Lionel Lyde. an English scientist, is that, whatever tbe color of primitive man in the be ginning, tbe conditions of life during the glacial period were such that uni formity of results must have been pro--duced. Nearly every anthropologist r ready to admit now a common origin for ail- mankind. Where man origi nated is not known very likely in southern Asia, possibly in Africa, cer tainly not in Europe, they say. His original color is supposed to have been a sort of brownish yellow not like any of tbe colors of mankind today, and eHontlvta sll Mnv for th V f calling him something.: a Condwana. He Iired In southern latitudes. This. they think, is certain. Then came mlgratious. and then. Frofessor Lyde believes, the variations of color began. Some turned white, some turned black, some brown and some yellow, all ac cording to the climate in which they found themselves. Climate : influences worked directly and indirecfly. In tbe tropics the skin and the intestines perform work which in temperate zones is thrown on tbe lungs. So wben man found himself In cooler lands the increased activity of the lungs.' together with the lessened light and beat, favored lightening of the skin. When be found himself in hotter climates the increased activity of the liver nnd tbe presence of great light favored a dark skin. The old theories of race are pretty well discarded, for men of the same race, under wittering conditions, would come to be outwardly very different Thus even in Africa, which everybody thinksof a j the land of blacks, black Is not'al nil the universal color. In the Sudan, where there ore great light and little humidity and no shade, the men are very black. Elsewhere in Africa, where there are forest, moro humidity and tess tight, though about eoii il bent, the color Is brown and even jttlow. . , ., - - , - - . : , As prliuUlve man -went on . bi3 war over the globe he iidapted himself to the conditiens be found. " Frofessoi Lyde t'ainlis tlint It Is light nnd n?t best which Is luxurious. There tve lu the trojilcs dangerous X-liUe r:v? which must be stopied. und they were stopped by tin' darkening of the sl;lu.

' ' The ruic. t!ie:i. that found n lioaie In moderate and dnup tiiluis'.tei turned whiter uud whiter. It is oti'.y lu such climates thut white skins can endure, and presumablyif the present white rate was turned Into u different part of the world for many hundreds of years, tbe whiteness of skin ' would gradually be lost.- Terhups. since the white man is spreading over the world to-day. It would be fair to sny it will. In such cases, be lost, the -whiteness being retained only In climates that have the conditions under which the race was first breached. , !! '' Intensity of light and little tumidity made black. Trade winds and little humidity gave the tinge of brown to the subtropical Mediterranean people. Then comes yellow, which Professor Lyde puts down as the result of "vast desiccating grass lands" In Intemper ate latitudes. - ... The yellow man Is the product of the grass lauds, with lack of humidity nnd sensonnl extremes of temperature. The color n man exposed to such con ditions would naturally take would be one which conserves bent nearly as well ns white, but whicb also projects from light, for which combination yel low was the best, or red. The nor ninl. color of these folk of the grass lands would be changed by special local conditions, such as the presence of mountains or proximity to the sea. The mountaineers of Asia and the maritime Mongolians are lighter In color than their brothers of the Inland plains. 1 ' ' To Trofessor Lyde, therefore, skin color is entirely a matter of climate. It Is a well established phenomenon now because tbe different portions of the human race lived segregated for thousands of years in special arens. but the same forces ;thnt vatAe men white nnd black anil yellow are oper ating today, slowly, but surely. Men who change their dwelling places wlU still, after hundreds of generations, change also their skins as they did In the epoch of the first migrations. New York Times. .
