4 GERMAN ESTIMATE OF DARWIN

Professor Hoeekd before the German Association o. Nat
WrGiists.
When five months ago. the sad intelligence
reached us by telegral h from England tuat on
April 10 Charles Darwin had concluded ms lie OF
rich activity. there thrilled VIVID rare Inai il
through the whole scientific world the fetAlhg Oh
an irreparable loss Not only did the lnnumera bic
adherents and scholars Of the great naturalist Ia
ment the decease OF the head master 10 hau gulue
them hut even the most esteemed of his opponents
had 10 confess that one OF the most sgnlhGanI anu
influential spirits OF the century nau uepdI.eu .
This universal sentiment found It's most eloquent
expression in the fact that Immediately aIter DIS

of TACT lie found his last resting lace by tue sue
of the kindred minded Newton. In no country Oi
- .r,'',no inctrine of Darwin uet with much
living interest or evoked such storm OF writings
fcr and against as III Germany. II Is therefore
only debt of honor we pay II at ms years as
sembly of German naturailsts ana physicians We
gratefully call TO remembrance the mighty genius
who has departed and bring home TO our minus the
l0itiness of the theory OF Nature 10 WHlcu ne las

this sacred spot $50 years 90 Martin Luther by
his reform OF the Church IN Its head aud lthloerS'
introduced a era in the history OF civllIzaloh'
so in our DAYS has Charles Darwin hy his reform OF
the doctrine Of development, constrained the Whoe
perception, thought and yolltion OF manklIu INTO
new and higher courses. II is true that PERSONALLY
both i'm hls character and influence, Darwin has
more affinity 70 the meek anu mild Melancth0h
than to the powerful and inspired Luther. In the
scope and importance, however Of Their great work
of reformation the two cases were entirely parallel
and N both the success marks new epoch ID the
DEVELOPMENT OF the human mind. Consider. hrst,
the Irrefragabe fact of the uneXampled success
which Darwin's reform of science mas achieved IN
the short space of Nv enty three years lot never
before since the beginning of human science has
any new theory penetrated so deeply TO the touh-
dalton OF the whole domain OF knOWledge OF SO
deenlv affected the most cherished personal convIc

new theory called forth such vehement opposition
and so completely overcome 1t In SUCH snort tlne'

TIE BANK OF ENGLAND.
From The ReUietc.


The constitution and government OF the bank OF
England are not fully understood, even by many
otherwise well-lnfOrmed residents Ia the City of
London itself. 1t differs from most corporations IN
the fact that IL has 40 permanent governor nor
chairman. and furthermore, that the remuneration
paid to the directors Tor their services Is indlVdc
ually small. The governing body consists OF
twentys directors, that Is TO say, one governor
one deputy governor and tWenty-fOur directors.
This body does not change except by death or rese-
nation, etc, but tue governor aud his deputy who
act as chairman and deputy chairman OF the board
or court of directors change every two years, the
deputy becoming governor and ali the directors
being deputy and governor in rotation. The salary
of the governor, well as that OF the deputy
governor is G1,0OO per rnum. while that OF
the other twenty-fOur directors Is EJOO each. Ac-
corQing to Francis, whose history OF the BANK OF
England is practically out OF PRINT, the management
of the Bank Is vested 10 the whole court Oh dlrec-
tors, which meets weekly when a statement Is
read OF the position OF tue Bank as regards lts
securities, bullion, and liabilities. The directors
have equal power, and should majority disap-
prove of the arrangements they may reconstruct
them Eight directors 90 out and eight come ID
annually elected by the couit of propretors. Tho
ist of candidates recommended by the court OF
directors is transmitted to the propnetors ana inc
eight so recommended uniformly come IN hen
any person is proposed as new director inquiry u
always instituted concerning his private character.
Those who survive this merry ordeal. and orc
Hpproved OF by the court Of directors nv er tail %
be elected. The qualifications for director are
the possession of bank stock TO the amount or
s2OO0 for the deputy-goyernor, $4,000, and Tor
the governor, $4,000 The directors arc re-
sponSlDe IOr the management OF tue hDalIs OF lho
