came near guessing it out. Goethe anticipated ', I it in "Faust" and the French Lamarck laid elab- : orate foundations of an evolution philosophy.

I Lyell and Hutton had made gradual development

the foundation of geology. And everywhere j among scientific and learned circles in Darwin's j time it was felt that some new theory of the ori- j gin of thing3 must be worked out, because evi- j dences had so accumulated as to show that the old I idea of an instantaneous creation was unfounded. But no thinker was able to seize the METHOD : of evolution. "The world has evolved," averred the scientists. "But how?" asked the laymen,!

and spent eight years studying life forms there. He, too, had long given up the old instantaneous theory of creation and he too was asking that question. "How?" but could not make answer. But it chanced that, while lying in a hammock one afternoon, the idea came to him that life evolves through struggle, that creatures are born with variations which slightly differentiate them from their parents, and that those individuals fortunate enough to inherit peculiarities which would adapt them to changed conditions would be able to survive any unexpected change. Thus the fittest would survive. Instead of some World-Maker, standing on the outside of things and arbitrarily remanufacturing or selecting creatures to fit the new conditions, Nature, through this struggle process of letting the fittest survive, herself did the fitting. Therefore the theory was first called "Natural Selection," and remained that until Spencer rechristened it with the more accurate "Survival of the Fittest"

Wallace, who had met Darwin, immediately forwarded to him at London a treatise in which this hypothesis was elaborated, but it so chanced and it is one of history's most striking coincidences that Darwin himself had already prepared a treatise of his own in which the theory was almost identically worked out. But Darwin, magnanimous as he was great, generously read the two papers at once and accorded Wallace an equal share in the epoch making discovery. This, however, did not please Wallace when he had learned that Darwin had been working more than twenty years on the matter and had nearly completed a book setting the theory forth with a wealth of convincing proofs and evidences, so he insisted that the hypothesis be named the "Darwinian theory" and such it has remained. Scientists no longer believe as they first did that this theory explains all of the processes of evolution, they do not even believe it explains the greater part of them, but they all believe, and cordially, that the credit of establishing the theory of evolution on a scientific basis and making it the controlling issue in the scientific and philosophical thought of the age belongs to Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.

Santos Dumont Sees Unveiling

Voluntary Civic Reform The administration of municipal and public affairs is professional work. For its successful and efficient management at least five items of equipment are necessary. Of these the most important is knowledge or skill. No civic reform can be lasting or economical unless based on this foundation of expert knowledge. Next is money. Many associations and voluntary organizations rush into some movement without counting the cost and thus are compelled to suddenly rush out of it at the very time their activities begin to bear fruit. Time is equally assential. An agitator can paint a vivid and compelling picture of the magnificent results from some reform movement and stir his hearers to action bu in many cases forgets to paint the equally important picture of the cost in time to do thoroughly any work of public extent. And finally there is the need of responsibility. No organization has the right to undertake any large public work unless it is thoroughly responsible for its own acts. Communities up and down the land are studded with monuments of costly and

extravagant enterprises founded by enthusiastic people who pulled out from under them when the burden began to grow too heavy. No group of persons has a right to leave a white elephant on the public's hands, however earnest, laudable and sincere are their efforts. This has been the bane of reform movements by voluntary organizations of earnest citizens. While enthusiasm waxed hot they were eager in the work but when the thing began to drag and perserverance and sacrifice were necessary up went the sponge and another "busted" reform added to the gaiety of nations and machine politicians, and threw one more obstacle in the way of progress. Because of this the leading municipal authorities frown upon municipal activities conducted by enthusiastic voluntary organizations. They point out that by inviting failure through lack of thorough preparation these efforts bring about reaction and so postpone the inevitable day of efficient administration. But there is one field which peculiarly belongs to voluntary organizations, good citizenship movements and kindred enterprises, and that is agitation. Public opinion is mightier than laws and may be created by intelligent and systematic publicity, agitation and education. This rich field still lies almost virgin in Richmond. Those familiar with our situation know how much lasting benefit such associations might achieve by a scientifically managed campaign of publicity. There is, in instance, the question of public health. At present writing our municipal sanitation is in the stone age. And all because of public indifference and ignorance. What a great work it would be if some league would make it its business to scatter folders, leaflets and pamphlets broadcast in which were set forth simply and clearly the elementary facts and principles of public and domestic hygiene! Isn't there some public spirited group here which can

take hold of this much needed work? It could j

accomplish lasting good to the community and!

increase its standard of living as well as the value of its industries and real estate. There is the question of street advertising and billboards. In progressive foreign towns, especially in Germany this receives much attention; it would here if there were some one to call the public's attention to the matter. And there is the problem of civic beauty. Very few property owners and real estate men know the latent possibilities in beautifying the town. The value difference between a medium price residence district and a high price district is very often only in general appearances. Most important of all there is the great question of social hygiene. Seattle has at present an organization doing yeoman service through carrying the simple facts of social purity to shop men and laborers. There is almost no limit to the possibilities in the field of public education.

An event which happens so very seldom that when it does occur, it is a noteworthy occasion, was the unveiling during the life time of Santos Dumont, of the monument erected by the Aero Club of Krance to commemorate the achievements of the intrepid master of the air. Santos Dumont in honor of whom this monument was erected in Paris, is standing directly in the center foreground shaking hands.

and

of an intHrestitiiJ paper read by Dr. L. K Koss before the recent meeting of tht- Wayne County Medical Association. i The most unquestioned proof of the certainty of this new discovery of the ! medical profession is furnished by the United States army. In 1 50t among . r.T.Oi'O regular troops there were 17e cases and ltj deaths In after a j large proportion had been vaccinated only 1 cases are reported with three deaths; of these only six cases oc- ; curred among the vaccinated result- ' ii:c in no deaths In. HUO there were , ten times as many days lost from the ; illness as in IV 12 after use of vaccin- . ation. Notable Improvement. ' j What an improvement this is over ; the olden das of insanitation may be j seen ty comparing the- experience of the army bow camped in Texas, which ' during the past year had only one , case and that an unvac cinated team- , ster who contracted it in Mexuo. and j the United States volunteer army in ' the Spanish-American war when 9o j per cent of the troops were infected with typhoid Lieutenant Foster j V "ites: "The U S army was crippled to a ' greater extent by this disease during i that war than by all other conditions ! combined!'"

The entire army, including regulars, numbered 1"7.!73; of these 'W3S were infected and 1.50S died. Typhoid vaccination was introduced into the British army in South Africa as far hack as but in spite of the crudity of the methods then used typhoid was decreased 25 per cent. In one section seven times as many cases were reported among the unvaccinated as the vaccinated and eleven times as many deaths. France and Germany are both compelling vaccination in their armies and other advanced nations are rapidly introducing the measure. And what has been done in the army mav be done with equal success

in Jiospitals and cities. In one

pital where the

even if used after an infected person is down, the disease runs a raildet course. Dr Koss insisted tfcat all nurses, attendants and others who come into contact with the disease, all those traveling through districts where the malady is common, all those living in territory where epidemics are frequen' and "typhoid carriers," should use th.s simple, harmless and almost in ta'.hble precaution He argued that the treatment is so rapid and simple that any competent practitioner may apply it with no danger and that the scrum costs so little compared with the expenses o the disease itself that there i no ex use for further negligence of its use in Richmond.

WHO- LAUGHS LAST

Science's Grand Old Man t i 'Alfred Russel Wallace is dead. Lincoln was only fourteen years of age when this last of the great Nineteenth century titans was born. And Darwin was Lincoln's age. But Lincoln has been gone forty-eight years and Darwin left us in 1882. Wallace has stayed past his ninetieth year and leaves with a record of over two hundred books, treatises, and pamphlets to his credit. But most to his credit is the fact that he dis

covered with Darwin, though without collaboration, what is now known as the "Darwinian theory" of "survival of the fittest" hypothesis. The ancient Egyptians held to a form of evolution theory. A number of the ancient Greek philosophers seem to have sensed it. Lucretius, the Latin poet, got a clew to it. Giordano Bruno

The tramp looked on at the cavalcade As the King went by in his gilt and braid; And he gazed and said, with a heavy sigh, "That chap is certainly living high; "With all that a fellow would want to drink And servants jumping at every wink, "And plenty of money and grub I see That a King is a fine old thing to be!" Then a soldier thrust the tramp aside As the King went on in his purple pride! Time passed and the mighty King lay dead, And the soldiers marched with a measured tread, And the tramp stood watching the cavalcade As the dead King passed and the dead march played; And he said "Poor fellow, his game is done.

Smith desires his letter be given the widest publicity so that others may be restored to perfect health as he has been. " I suffered for five vears with a verv

bad form of bowel trouble and could get but slight temporary relief. I was induced by a friend to try Duffy's Pire Malt Whiskey. The result was marvelous. "I am feeling fine and! trust many more may use your splendid product and be restored to health again, as I have. "I hope you will give this letter the widest publicity so others having a similar trouble may find relief as I have, for it is the remedy I had long sought."

Duffy's Pure Mali Whiskey If every man and woman in the United States would only appreciate what thi3 great family medicine does toward building up the system, much of the illness would be avoided. When people get sick they blame different causes, but if they would only stop and think, the chief cause is the system is allowed to run down; the blood becomes thin, the digestive organs are not strong enoueh to do their work DTODerlv. the tissues become weakened. th kidneva are

unable to carry oii the waste matter. The result is pains, aches and all kinds of j

troubles. Just give your system a chance ; build It up by taking

Dunjrs Pure Malt V hiskey as directed ; it will build new tissue, by helping the stomach to digest the food, strengthen the heart ac-

. uon, enricn the blood and invigorate the body, brain and nerves. Sold in SEALED BOTTLES ONLY by most druggists, grocers "and dealers, $1.00 a large bottle. Our doctors will send you advice free, together with a valuable illustrated medical booklet

"The Lottery Man" is playing at the Murray this week. It has no entangling plot, nothing to tire The brain of the wearied "business man," and soon after the entanglement begins, even the less shrewd easily foretell what the final climax will be. In its last analysis it has more of the farce comedy features than of the legitimate drama. The audience, however, seems to enjoy the complications created by the purpose of a reporter out of a job to offer himself as a lottery prize to the woman who holds the lucky coupon printed in a newspaper. Joseph Shafer takes the part of the lottery man. An elimination of his mannerisms would give strength to the portrayal. It would seem that he
