If no semitic Holy OHice that a.
appointed YOU fnquisitor-genaral for
Puget Sound, and a. l have no, en-
p!oyed you to instruct me in zoology
decline to lie catechised. after lie
manner Won have seen fit to adort
l am not in the habit Of boastino
about my attainments, but as Won
desire little information, on this
this topic, shall depart from nv
usual custom, so far as to inform
you, that the University from which
l won my degrees of Bachelor and
Master of Arts, gave me the second
prize and 4" first class honors" for
proficiency in the science of zoology.
l have read more than you seem to
imagine since leaving tho classic
walls Of my Alma Mater" and am
not quite as Ignorant" as you in
sinuate. I happen to know that
there are several theories of eyolu-
tion-and that the advocates of some
of them recognize the hand of Gre.
ator at the base Of organized matter,
and at various gaps along the line
of development, which gaps have
never been filled up, either by living
animals or by fossils. A man who has
read SO many books as you have,
" erery line" ought to be aware, that
in the late Fiftieth Convention Of
German Scientists at Munich, Pro-
lessor Virchow, of Berlin, whose
authority even you will not ques.
ton, proclaimed the development
hypothesis "not proven" and that
with regard to the connection be-
tween man and the lower animals,
while acknowledging his desire to
establish it, he frankly confessed
that every step in anthropology car.
ried him farther away from the dem
onstration of this connection. A
man who has read so many books,
" every line" as you have, ought to
know that the line between mankind
and apehood, is as sharply defined
in the stone age, as it is in the
nineteenth century; and that the old
troglodytes and lake-dwellers, OBJ
stinately and knowingly, persist in
proving themselves to have been q
most respectable society, with heads
of such dimensions that many q liv-
ing man would count himself fortu-
nate, if his was as large. A man
who has read so many books, erery
line" as you have, ought to know
that the largest ape, or monkey brain,
that has ever been discovered, is not
more than half the size of the small
est human brain; and that this great
gap has nerer been filled up.
Knowing all these facts, why do you
presume to stand before the public
with full-Aedged development the
DRY which ignores them, and then
loose your temper when you are
politely reminded of them? Who
are you, that comsth % . wise
man from the East, proclaiming
yourself the Scientific Pope Of Puget
