CoNsTANTINoPLE, March %, 1879.

see your letter in the Times about large

because it so thoroughly accords with
my humble opinion on the matter. |

thirty inches of iron, the idea is obso-

thing. Fleets guns can only be used
against land defenses in making diver

also, that the immense cost of losing,

Many of them will die. A committee
of the citizens and physicians from this
city arrived there this afternoon, and
medical supplies and clothing have
been forwarded from here to provide
for immediate necessities of sufferers.
A special to the Champion from Con-
cordia says the storm was extremely
violent in that vicinity. AT Delpho,
Ottowa county, Is dead bodies were
brought in from two square miles OF
territory. One man from Beloit was
taken up in his wagon, thrown to the

woman and child were thrown against
wire fence and killed. Five persons
were killed in one house near De,pho.
Crops have been severely injured On

The Evolution Bible.

The preparation of the new Bible,
which is to be inspired by sweet reason
ableness has not made much advance
yet. We lay before our readers the
improved version Of the first chapter of
the Book of Genesis: l. There never
was beginning. The Eternal, without
us that maketh for righteousness, took
no notice whatever of anything 2.
And Cosmos was homogeneous and un-
differentiated, and somehow or another
evolution began and molecules appear
ed. 3. And molecule evolved protop-
lasm, and rhythmic thrills arose, and
then there was light. 4. And a spirit of
energy was developed and formed the
plastic cell whence arose the primordial
germ. 5. And the primordial germ
became protogene, and protogene some
how shaped cocoon, then was the dawn
of life. 6. And the herb yielding seed
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after it's
own kind, whose seed is in itself, devel-
oped according to it's own fancy. And
Righteousness, neither knew nor cared
anything about it. 7. The cattle after
his kind, the beast of the earth after his
kind, and every creeping thing became
evolved by heterogeneous segregation
and concomitant dissipation of motion.
8. So that by survival of the fttest there
evolved the simiads from the jelly fish,
and the simiads differentiated them
selves into the anthropomorphic prim-
ordial types. 9. And in due time one
lost his tail and became man, and be-
hold he was the most cunning of all
animals; and 10! the fast men killed the
slow men, and it was ordained to be so
in every age. 10. And in process of
time, by natural selection and survival
Of the fttest, Matthew Arnold, Herbert
Spencer and Charles Darwin appeared,
and behold it was very good.-Lcndon

RuskinsOr a Wild Indian.
London Athennum.

A mild controversy has lately pre-
vailed among visitants to the library OF
the Anthropological Institute. DR.. E.
V. Hayden has presented his magnif-
cent album of photographs of mem bers
of seventy Indian tribes Of the United
States. The chiefs are depicted, some
with scalping knives, scalps and toma-
hawks, and some in coat-tail costume.
Among the Ojibbeway chiefs is a pho
tograpn of Hole-in- the-Sky, and this is
declared by some to be no other like
ness than that of Professor Ruskin. At
all events, it resembles him much. It
is not suspected that the photograph of
an Indian chief has been distracted by
some amateur since it's arrival here,
and replaced by that of Mr.. Ruskin. It
can scarcely be believed that Professor
Hayden has been imposed upon by
some American wag, and a carte of Mr..
Ruskin been foisted on his collection.
This can, however, be tested by exam
lining the name of the photographer on
the back, and if it proves to belong to
the survey, then there is an end to the
suspicion of its genuin eness, but tn e re.
semblance to the enthusiastic art critic
remains a matter of curiosity.
