Show The Future Man. When one goes way back to the cave man or beyond him to the time when man walked on all fours and slept in a tree, and then reflects upon what man is now, he is wont to imagine im-agine what sort of a creature he will be hundreds of centuries hence. Some of us who believe in the ascent of man are inclined to accord to him an angelic form and grace, as far ahead of the present man as he is ahead of his prehistoric progenitors. But now comes a scientist who suggests sug-gests that the future evolution of the human race may develop lips like the bill of a pelican. A circumstance that suggests this change is the use of these bubbling fountains by the children, chil-dren, which has a tendency to produce pro-duce protruding lips. What else goes with these protruding lips the scien-ist scien-ist does not say, but if they add to his fishing efficiency he must have wings for that, and wings we would all like to have.
