(CupyrlKlit. 1901. by N. S. Slmlci'.l
Modern liKpilrli'M coiuornliit; tho effect of
environment on milinuls niul plantB liavo
linturnlly nerved to illrec; iittentlon to tho
Influence, of nature In various countries on
tho fate of man. Thus tlio iiueslloii has
often come to me, "Is It likely that man
hind will fall to maintain Knelt In North
America?" or In another form. "Is this
country to prove an well suited to tho needs
of man as tho IiukIh of the old world?"
There Is undoubtedly n measure- of douhl
In tho iiiIikIr of some Inquirers whether or
no our species Is or is likely to become
so reconciled to this continent that It will
find on It a fair Held for development.
In JiiiIrIiir as to tho lltnohs of this land
for tho uses of man It Is well to liavo
clearly In mind an outline of tho history
of the creature In other parts of tho world.
So fur as iiincerns our inquiry, tho story
may be brlelly told- As regards bis orlKln,
man clearly belongs to the tropical part of
tho old world. All the groups of apes which
, In bodily or mental characteristics show
nny near kinship with him aro found In
that part of the world. The monkeys of
America belong altogether to lower groups
which lie far away from tho path of advance
that led to mankind. There seems good
reason to bellevo that tho first creatures
entitled to bo called human appeared In
southern Asia, or possibly In n laud now
beneath tho sea that lay between these
areas. All the species of tho natural order
to which mnu belongs nre natives of the
tropics. Of tho hundred or more of these
forms, none range to regions where freezing
colli often occurs. In fact, no other equally
extensive group of mammals Is so com
pletely limited to the torrid zone.
While the distribution of his lower kin
dred shows clearly that man llrst found
himself In the tropical realm, the features
of bis body equally attest this Held of
origin. Ills naked state unfitted him for
lire In tlio colder zones. Until he had
learned to clothe himself in skins and nso
of fire, arts that must have been slowly de
veloped, he could not liavo lived far away
from tho equator. Furthermore, It Is In
tho tropic, oven at the present day, that
the nulmal, man, Is most successful. There
ho takes In the greatest range of variations
in form and color, Is the least dependent
on bis arts for subsistence, Is In all re
spects most completely uaturaltzcd.
We do not caro nt what stage In Ills his
tory certain varieties or races of man left
their tropical birthplace for higher lati
tudes, nor, indeed, what manner of man
they were. They must liavo been relatively
far advanced In the arts, for they could not
havo moved any distance polurwardii before
they were utile to meet the novel condition.
Wo may fairly presume that tlio movement
took place ages after the species was es
tablished and that only the more vigorous
races shared in the migration, which was.
In the end. to mako their kind tho most
widely diffused species in t lie vertebrate
type of auiiials. Hvcn thojo stronger folk
could not have accomplished tho task until
their brains and hands had made them In a
measure Independent of tlio trlnls that
vigorous climates imposed on them.

cics Into two groups took place.
The ono retained tho tropical habit, be
ing with somo exceptions Incapable of abid
ing in high latitudes; the other Including
tho several diverse varieties commonly
known ns Caucasian, which can no longer
maintain Iselt in Its best estate within
the equatorial realm. This Intolerance of
torrid conditions, which Is so striking n
feature ot all the Kuropenn peoples. Is ap
parently shared, though in a less degress,
by the Semitic folk and those wo term
Chinese. It appeals to ho generally true
that varieties of men that liavo never
known a frozen earth cannot well reconcile
themselves to It, whllo those who have
adjusted themselves to winter lose their
vitality when deprived of tho tonic cold.
So long as tho world of man remained in
the stngment or slow moving state these
differences due to climate were unnoted;
nonn of tho tropical peoples showed a dis
position to wander o high latitudes, and
these of tho boreal district rarely sought
to colonize tho equatorial lands. If they en
tered on them, they ceased to prosper. If
they maintained themselves at all, they
appear to have done so hy Intermingling
their stock with that of the Indigenous folk.
In our own age, owing to tho forth,
going motive of tho Kuropean folk with Its
desire to hold all lanes mid to drag the
dwellers nt the torrid zono about tho earth
that they may servo Its civilization, this
adjustment of races to climate has romo
to bo a matter of very grent Importance. It
has to bo reckoned with In all our plans for
new empires nnd our forecasts of the future
of our own.

Recognizing that the torrid region Is In
general unfitted for the use of the master
ful stork to which our people belong, and
that their part of tho earth lies between

nents are suited to their needs. Taking first
tho southern of these twin lands, wo per
ceive that In Inrgor measure than any other
It is by its position unfitted for tho use of
Kuropoans. About two-thirds of it lies
within the torrid zone. Of tho area thus
placed, only a small part has its tem
peraturo In nn effective degree modified
by Its height nbovo the sen, and this, tho
Andean section. Is generally sterile. South
of the tropic of Capricorn there Is a con
slderablo region which, so far ns the tem
peraturo Is concerned, is well suited to our
rate. Though much of it Is arid. It 'will
doubtless aflord tlio Held for tho develop
ment of a vigorous branch of the Kuropean
stock. Considered ns a whole, southern
South America may fairly bo regarded as
tho most favorable part of tho southern
hemisphere for tho nurturo of an Arynn
population. Tho agricultural value of tho
district la probably greater than that ot
South Africa or Australia, ami the area fit
for the plow larger than either of those
lands. Yet, ns compared with North Amer
ica. It Is ot very limited promise.
Considered in relation to tho needs of our
race, North America has several signal
advantages. In the llrst place over three
fourths of its surface affords conditions of
cllmato that aro very near to thoso in which
tho several varieties of Arynns havo suc
cessfully doveloped. Dividing tho zones
of tllmate between tho northern tropic and
tlio arctic circle we may pnrallcl them very
nearly with those of tho old world from
northern India to Scandinavia, where theso
peoples liavo shaped themselves to admira
ble accomplishments of body nnd mind.
Leaving out the deserts of bent, cold nnd
dryness, our land shows a remainder of
about three-fourths of the whole, that Is. ns
regards Its physical conditions, more nearly
nllled to the cradle-lund of our folk than
nny other equally large nrea In the world
A portion of It was fitly named New Ung
land. The term could well hnvo been ex
tended so as to include a much larger area,
It would have been no misnomer if tho
continent had been termed New Europe, or
better still, Now Aryn. Hy Its development
it has come to deserve both thoso names.
I. anil of I'lonilsc.
The Judgment as to the Illness of North
America for the needs of our race lias been
well established by the test ot centuries.
Leaving out of nccount tlio settlement of the
Latin peoples In the tropical districts, where
tho results havo been rather unsatisfac
tory, wo havo had a fair trial of the new
environment over a period that may be
roughly counted as two and a half centuries.
Of this the test for the Interior district.
Hint of tho Mississippi valley, extends to
about ono half that time; and for the
Cordlllernn aren, I. e. the Kocky and as
sociated mountains, to only fifty years. The
test of greatest length approximately in
cludes Kuropean people settled along the
coast and tho Appalachian district of the
Interior from L-ibrndor to (leorgla; tho
next tho areas that fairly sample the east
ern half of tho .Mississippi valley, the third,
thnt of the western mountain region and the
I'aclflc border of the same. Thus we n'c
that tho trial fairly includes all except the
nrea of Northern llrltlsh America and
Alnska. Taking tho ureas In their order, and
seeking to ba-o our Judgment on their
human product, wo will now note the re
sults of the several settlements.
In the Atlantic coast district, where the
test of Kuropean man In the part of North
American nearest to Kuropo has been long
est continued, the experiment has been
admirably successful. Statistics show that,
as regards tho physical condition of tho
folk, they have lost nothing by their trans
plantation. They are as able-bodied and as
fecund as they were in the old world.
Counting their eminent Inventiveness as a
pnrt of their Intellectual success, an In
ventiveness that ranges from religion and
politics to mechanical contrivances, they
assuredly tako rank as tlio equals of their
kindred over tho sea. H may Indeed be
Justly claimed that tho generations of
Kngllsh folk reared on tlio Atlantic slopo of
North America have, for their numbers,
given ns much to tho advancement of man
kind ns tho homo people.
Tho evidence from tlio population of tlio
Mississippi valley is to the samo effect as
that affoided by tho sea border folk. Tho
measurements of soldiers of the civil war,
inndo by tho United States sanitary com
mission, which Is nn admirable source ot
Information, shows that tho men from the
Kentucky district (tho longest settled of
any part of the region west of tlio Alle
ghanlcH) were on the average taller and of
greater girth of chest and head than those
of nny other part of the country. Although
theso American troops Included practically
all who were lit to bear arms, Immature
youths as well ns adults, their average de
velopment was equaled only by certain regi
ments of picked men, enlisted In tho llrltlsh
army from Scotland and Ireland. It li
noteworthy thnt theso troops from tho
Ohio valley were almost altogether from
families who came from Oreat Hrltaln nnd
Iroland several generations before the civil
wnr.

Wo lack statistical Information to show
tho physical condition of those born In the
Cordllleran district. There Is no reason
to doubt the verity of tho Impression tlioy
mnko on tho observer, which Is that of
exceeding vigor, except It may be, In the
southernmost portion of tills field. Hardly
any part of tho continent promises a more
Interesting population than this Cordll
lernn region. Whilo there are somo indi
cations that the people will liavo a peculiar
quality, thero Is no ground for supposing
that they will not regain tho essential qual
ities of their race.
Of all tho tests that go to show the
continued mental nnd physical quality of a
people that of military service Is unhap
pily tho surest (liven a civil war which
enlists tho hearts as well ns tho bodies of
a folk, draw Into It the mass of berviceabln
men, protract it until the trial proves not
only vnlor, which Is common in the abler
races, but also the higher emotions of pa
tience and fortitude, and wo liavo an essay
diabolical In Its perfection, but showing
the essence of a people as none other can.
How well the civil war pi lived that Amerl
cans, nfter generations of existence In these
environments, remain sturdy may bo Illus
trated by the history of a single command:
The Kirst Kentucky brigade of tho con
federate army. I select this body ot troops
especially for tho reason that, while they
were olllclally my enemies, iiiany of tint
ofllcers and men wen personally well
known to mo. I have, moreover, carefully
Inspected the lls-ts. and am convinced that
all save a very few of these soldiers woro
from old American families of llrltlsh or
Irish origin. The part of tlio great story
of this brigade that can be here told con
cerns the last 100 dnys of. Its service. It Is
enough for the need.
On May 7. 1S, tho brigade left Dallon,
In Its long continued retreat before Sher
man, with 1.110 tank and file. During the
subsequent hundred days, in nlmost con
tinued action, it took l.SilO death or hos
pital wounds At the end of that time It
had but 1M0 preheat for duty. There wero
less than a dozen unaccounted for, . 0. not
more than that number of desertions. The
noblo remnant was then so far crippled
that It would no longer march. Tho com
mand was therefore broken up, nnd the men
used as orderlies. It should bo remembored
that thrsn men for all their valor wero
steadfastly beaten back every day's fight
ing leaving them farther from their homes.
So far ns I have been able to find, there
Is no bettor record of steadfast, enduring
valor in the history of our people on tho
other side of the sea. I do not Indeed know
where to llnil Its parallel. Such aro rude
tests, but moro than any other they go to
prove that tho quality of tho man who is
bred on this continent, whoso forefathers
havo been for generations shaped In tho en
vironment It affords, Is In mind nnd body
equal to tho best. N. S. SI I A LK II.
