wrecks on the coast comprised IN three us
tr1cts, with the loss of but one life and one
third of the property endangered. During the
last year or two the old abuses have crcpt III
coming election requires the Cancellation OF
the political leaders Of even fishing villages,
and skillful sailors have been turned out To
make room for them.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his order
for the reOpening of the houses last week,
urgently enjolned upon superintendent the
appointment Of suitable men (; the appointment
of q special Inspector authorized to discharge
those who are inefficient would, however, be
much more to the purpose.
This whole matter seems probably both
obscure and trivial to the ordinary reader
These solitary stations on the coast have ap-
parently little to DO with the current of bust
ness or interest in the great cities or through
the country. A few figures however from the
last report Of the Secretary of the Treasury
show their importance more clearly than
any words can do. I'm the year
ending June, 1874, 800 vessels were
wrecked on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. OF
which number ATS were American; the total
value of the vessels amounted to SS,643,1oO /;
of the cargocs to $5,132, 0SG; the total num-
Der of tho crews and passengers was 5,763,
while the number of lives lost was only 296,
less than the number which often went down
on one vessel before the establishment of these
stations. The amount of property and human
life involved brings this matter home to each
one of us, and certainly makes it worth the
while of the Treasury Department to take as
strenuous measures as in 1871 to put this
branch of its service in thorough order.

CTaRDIVG THE COAST.

During the first and second weeks of this
month the hfe-saving stations along the coast
are opened and occupied by the crows There
are from Maine to North Carolina one lupdred
and three of these stations, manned during SIX
months of the year by keeper and six surf
men. whose duty il is to patrol the beach both
night and day, and on the occurrence of
wreck, use the apparatus provided by Gov
eminent for the saving of life. This
apparatus is thorough of its kind, con-
sisting of rockets, mortars, liie-boats, the
OttiDger life-car and brceches- buoy, and
in the management of experienced men is
in nine cases out of ten efectual in rescuine
the crew of any vessel stranded on the coast.
The difficulty in the way is, that neither keep
ers nor surfmcn are always experienced. Jer-
sey and Long Island longsh0remen have their
political cllims TO push as well as Congress
men, and whenever public attention is not
called to the matter, village politicians are likely
to be run into these petty Offices who never
handled an oar. The stations were established
i'm 1913, and for year or two were
very effective: then landsmen took them
in charge until 1854, when the wreck Of tie
steamer Powhatan off Squan Beach, only seven
miles from O station, and the loss of three
hundred lives, caused clamOr of Indignation
in Congress, followed by renewed appropria-
tons; but no effective examination was made
into the manner in which the service was con-
Quoted until 1870. 1t was then discovered
that half The stations were almost in ruins, the
apparatus rusty and broken; i'll many instances
mortar, cables, powder, &c, had been stolen
long ago, and i'll almost every case some
inefficient town politician held the appoint
ment. The loss of the Giovanni from
the lack of dry powder in the station recalled
the matter to the public mind. After 1871
the service was for Il year OF two more care
fully managed aud more competent men were
appointed. As result, the Chief of the Rev

| utteronces seek common ground for evOlu-
tionists and their opponents, and though
still strenuous against Darwinian explana-
tons of the origin of being, seem to
Weld 10 modified belief IN the
development of vital forms. With these
thinkers, rightly or wrongly, Prof. Proctor mas
been classed His new lectures in Boston have
| for their distinct purpose q dsayowal OF suci
sentiments.
In the lecture which we print this morning
Prof. Proctor indicates the causes which have
| led him 10 n modification of his earlier views.
A change of his religious belief has accom-
panied his adoption of the more moicrn the
cries. We arc thus not lett at liberty
TO doubt his sincerity. 1t is clear, however,
that the fierce opposition aroused against the
views of Prof Tyndall, especially after his
Belfast address before the British Association
had much to do with awakening Prof. Proc
tors sympathies. The war OF words
which blazcd ont so wildly after the
dcliverances of Profs. Tyndall and Huxley AT
that meeting, was much hotter and more vlo-
lent in Great Britain than in this coun-
try. Prof. Proctor as student OF adj
vanced science, and one who never
sbuns controversy when he is fully impressed
with n new belief very naturally takes sides
with his friends, the men of Science, at whom
a great deal of mud has been thrown during
the controversy.
Under such circumstances it is quite in keep
ing with his acceptance OF evolution theories
that Prof Proctor should at one jump put
himself in the forefront of the battle
He is willing to believe not only in the
DEVELOPMENT of man from the lower ami
mails, and these from the formless speck
OF prOtOplasn, but even i'll the improved
theory cf biogcnosis- the formation OF life,
without parentage, from inorganic matter
The evolutionists will welcome him with
Omen arms. IF he can bring new
facts to the support of the nebular hypothesis,
nc will prove q seryceable addition to their
growing ranks. That hypothesis has been
greatly strengthened 10y the discoveries OF the
spectrOscope, but it is not as firmly upheld by
mathematical demonstration as is pop
ularly supposed. Indeed Prof. Proctor himself
does not adhere to Laplace's original theory.
What service the new convert can perform III
the field of biology. where, after ALL the whole
battle must concentrate, does not at all appear.
Success at that point in the conflict will carry
victory to either party along the whole front.
The study of natural history never was so
widely extended, and never so thorough, espe-
cially in this country, as now. To the natu-
raists must belong the honor of deciding the
contest no matter what aid may come to
either side from others.

A CONTEXT or SCIENCE.


Those who listened to Prof. Proctor during
his course of lectures here will not easily
forget the sOlemnity with which he discussed
the gravcr truths of which astronomy offers
glInpses. His words were those of one
who has thought long and deeply be-
fore accepting or abandoning theories.
Perhaps for this reason, quite as much as for
anything which his lectures contained, they
proved singularly agreeable to people who
feared that the advancing strides Of science
would overrun the old landmarks of re-
ligon. He was classed with the school
of thinkers Of whom Prof. Agassiz
during life was the acknowledged leader; OF
whom Prof. Dawson Of Montreal is now, prob
ably, the most able representative. They have
fought continually against the various forms
of the development hypothesis, especially in
it's more complete and rounded shape, as ex-
pounded by Darwin. Yet il is to be admitted that
neither of these leaders held to the earlier be-
lief of special and specific creation. Prof.
Agassiz argued in favor of a theory, almost
exclusively his own, that the human race
originated not with one, but with several
distinct pairs and he declared that il we
must concede that all the varieties of
the human race sprang from single
pair, we must also admit that men and monkeys
bad common origin. Prof. Dawsons latest

cern, but quite the thing nowadays. In
short, vulgarity and snobbish mutation come
to the front in this attempted reform as in
every other, and 1t is only when we learn the
value of simplicity, fitness and genuine truth
in our chairs and tables, as in our daily words
and thoughts, that we shall be able to furnish
our homes properly.
