A lat'y residing near Cleveland, O., died a short time ago from an unknown disease, which greatly puw.led the attending physicians, the symptoms being similar to those experienced in rheumatism of the heart. After her long; suffering ended in death, a post-mortem examination revealed one of most wonderful things known to the medics.1 profession, A large burdock burr was found securely imbedded in the heart, against the posterior surface of the aorta, just at the point whore it emerges from the body of the heart completely covered with cystic-liko tissue which had firmly enveloped all the large blood-vessels leading to and from the heart, which organ was in a high state of iatlanmiation, the left ventricle ; bailiff greatly enlarged. A feature which greatly puzxles the doctors is the fact j that the large aorta about three inches from the heart is found to be worn as thin as tissue-paper for about tho space of an inch, only the outer covering of the large artery remaining. This is supposed to have been produced by the close proximity of the burr in its passage towards the heart. The specimen was forwarded to the Musedm of the Bennett Medical College, of this city, and lists been inspected by a large number of leading physicians, who unite in pronouncing it one of the most extraordinary cases on record. Yesterday a lYibntic reporter happened in at the office of Dr. W. H. Davis, corner of State and Madison Streets, while several physicians were examining this medical wonder, Prof. Davis and others are of the opinion that the burr must have been breathed into the lungs while the woman was a child, as she has been a f;reai sufferer for a number of year,durng which time the burr was migrating from the bronchial tubes through the tissues to us iiniu lotiging-piaca. vi cagQ TrifotHC, .

In his reply to Professor Virohow's charge that the evolution theory as i r,ft position in science, Professor ?," km oocaston to state very the Mature and scope of the mi uotoiu nu me uroau ground of fact on which it rests. Howover complex in its details, the great promem ot organic derivation is essentially simple. Species must have oome into existence in one of two ways by natural development or by supernatural creation. There is no third way. Oa the one side is the old theory that organisms were created specifically distinct, as they are, as they were, as they ever must be, independent in origin and permanent in form and character. Oa the other hand stands the theory that the different species of organisms are intimately related, have developed naturally from earlier forms, have descended from common ancestral types. On which side lies the weisrht of evi'lence? At starting, Professor Haeckel I concisely defiues the relation of the three greRt theories of modern biology: t Monism, the universal theory of evou"i w uiumauo uni!uei All lu I 111. 1111 HT ltn T . 'which rationally explains the uni- ' . tUTf tX ll Wl tl . i T U 1 n li. mIm.m n niwij ninvu cAiiiniua iuu uiiiu Ul ui- ; a! i fttl&V Atl Cft ftV tlUVlini l&JAlAllQt i Hamely, by transformation, and reduce this transformation to mechanical causes; 3. The theory of selection, or Darwinism, is up to tho present the most important one among the different theories, winch try to explain the transformation of species by mechanical causes; but it is by no means the only one. Even if we suppose that most species have originated through natural ' selection, yet we know, on the other I hand that' manr fnrma nalloil annnima 1 "-j .-.." ro merely hybrids from two different species and are propagated as such; at I tae me time we can easily conceive , that other causes may be acting in the , formation of species, causes of which we have no idea at present. To decide what importance natural selection has in the origin of species is left to the judgment of the various naturalists, and in this question the authorities differ materially even to-day. Some ascribe & greater, others a smaller importance to it. But the different estimation of the value of Darwinism is quite independent of the absolute validity of the theory of descent, because the latter is up to the present the only theory which explains, in a rational way, the origin of species. The theory of creation explains nothing, and is inconsistent with a vast multitude of demonstrated facts and laws. The scientific certainty of the theory of descent, on the contrary is based upon the totality of biological phenomena. Professor Haeckel shows that all phenomena of morphology and physiology, of chorology and cacology, of ontogeny and paheontology, can only be explained by the theory of descent, and reduced to mechanical causes. The guarantee of the truth of the theory lies particularly in the fact that the last simple causes are the same for all these complicated phenomena, and that other melchmcl chums on not be iiug;ned. It further proofs are demanded, where are they to be looked for? In Professor HaeckePs words, "whore in the world are we to find facts' which speak louder than the facts of comparative morphology and physiology, the faots of rudimeutary organs anu of embryonal development, than the facts of paheontology and of the geographical distribution of organisms in short, than all the knowN facts from the most various biological domains?" If the theory of evolution is not amply proved by the facts already in possession, then, Professor Haeckel asserts, the theory never will be proved. Scientific Amertcati. Earthquake ia the Mississippi Valley. At the last meeting of the St. Louis Academy of Sciences, Professor Nipher made a brief report on the earthquake of November 18, 1878. The shock of this earthquake was felt over an area of fully 150,000 square miles. The region disturbed forms an ellipse, the major axis of which extends from Leavenworth. Kan., to Tuscaloosa, Ala., a distance of over 000 miles The minor axis extends from nelir Clarksville, Ala., to a point midway between Cairo, 111., and St. Louis, a distance of 300 miles. The southern boundary of this region has not been determined with great accuracy. The region of greatest disturbance was along the Mississippi, Cairo to Memphis. Here the shocks were universally felt. The walls of buildings could be eeea to move, and strong frame buiidiars creaked as when every joint is strained by a heavy wind. At Iron ton the shook was also so severe as to alarm some who lived in brick houses. Along the Missouri, from Glasgow to Lexington, the shock was also severe, awakeningmany families, who thought a heavy wind-storm was in progress. It appears that the shock was first felt at Glasgow lib. 23m. p. m. (St. Louis time). The shock traveled rapidly down the axis of the ellipse, reaching Cairo at llh. 48m., and Memphis at llh. 50m. At Liule ltock, Ark., the shock was also dtetiaotivelv felt, although aot observed at I Clarksville, thirty-five miles farther up ' the river.
