NO NEED TO TALK OF WAR Thsrt Are Some Bigger Themee, Such as Professor Bateaon hat Recently Propounded. Al a diversion from war talk, Prof. I William Bateson, the celebrated botanist, addressing the British association at Melbourne, proposes this theorem: “We must begin seriously to consider whether the course of evolution can at all reasonably be represented as an unpacking of an original complex which contained within itself the whole range of diversity which living things represent.” Perhaps if this issue had been clearly before the collective mind of Europe such minor matters as panSlavism and pan-Germanism might have paled into insignificance. Really, on the intellectual plane it is much more important. The war on Darwinism is being strenuously waged. Professor Bateson fights hard against the possibility of change in organic heredity being controlled from without. He asks whether it is not just as easy to believe that “the primordial form- or forms of protoplasm could have contained complexity enough to produce the diverse types of life” us that “those powers could have been conveyed by extrinsic additions.” The trite saying. “It’s a queer world,” surely comes into one’s head upon discovering that while millions of men, including Englishmen, are doing their best to kill each other in Europe, a great group of the best minds extant sit down calmly and gravely at the antipodes to discuss the secrets of life. DAMPENING HIS ARDOR I : ' fl « J I Archibald—My heart is on fire with love for you! My very soul is aflame. Angela—Papa wili put you out. WAR CORRESPONDENTS. The day of (he civilian war correspondent seems to be over, and in future we shall have to be content with whatever news the commander of the forces, working through the Censor’s office at home, may think it Wise to impart. It is highly improbable that officers who may have sufficient leisure to indulge in corTespondence will be allowed to contribute to the public press, as they have done in smaller expeditions. During the second Ashanti campaign, for instance, two officers who distinguished themselves on that occasion, and have since attained a wider fame—Sir Edward Ward and Sir Robert Baden-Powell—acted as joint correspondents of the Daily Chronicle. They did so well that this journal was able to announce the fall of Coomassie two or three days before any other newspaper. There was a suggestion at the time that after the message the telegraph line to the coast had been mysteri-uiu-ly cut, but that, no doubt, was the result of professional jealousy.— Loudon Chronicle. I SCIENTIFIC FARMING. Visitor—Why do you bandage up the cow a’ ears? The Gentleman Farmer—l’m told a thunderstorm turns the milk s«ur. —Puck. PACKING FOR HOME, “What’s the matter with your wife? She seems all upset.” “She can’t get the stuff into her trunk what went into it coming up.” AND MUCH NICER. She—Very few people know how to shake hands properly. He—Well, there are other forms of greeting, you know. THE FINANCIAL LIMIT. “Here’s a woman complains her honeymoon lasted only a week.” “What was the matter?” “Her monev gave out..'’
