ORIGIN OF DEATH.

Gt II to the Advantage Of the Species Thas
Individuals should Die.
From the dawn of life the structures
best adapted to surrounding conditions
have been victors; whatever features
have proved useful have been seized
upon by natural selection and secured
dominance. The enormous mass Of the
lower forms have persisted to this day,
because the balance established between
them and their surroundings has re-
mained unaltered. But whenever tho
balance between living things and their
surroundings has been disturbed, new
demands have been made upon them,
to which they responded, or, failing that
response, perished. Hence it is in the
first complexity Of structure, the first
departure from simplicity, that the seeds
of death were sOwn.
For that death becomes . necessity.
So far as its occurrence by natural causes
is concerned. We know that - organ
isms get older (although this applies
more to animals than to plants. In which
the cells, as they become liqueHed or
converted into wood, are overlaid with
new cells) their power of work and Of
renewal is lessened. The cells which
form the vital fabric Of tissues are worn
by continual use; the waste exceeds tho
repair, and death ultimately ensucs,
because wOrn-0ut tissue can not for
ever renew itself and because . capacity
for increase by means Of cell division is
not everlasting, but finite" Why there
should be this limit to cell division wc
:an not say, but it is clear that with the
notifications Of organs according to
the work which they discharge there
results subtler structure which is less
easy to repair and is shorter Of duration.
The one-celled organisms have found
salvation in simplicity.
We are, therefore, driven to the con-
:lusion that since there is. prima facie.
10 reason why growth should be limited
or why function should come to IN end,
death must have been brought about by
natural selection, which determines
survival or extinction from the stand
point Of utility alone. There needs no
showing that it II to tho advantage Of
the species that individuals should die.
Their immortality would Be harmful
al around; nay, impossible. unless
vigor remain unimpaired. and the null
tiplication of offspring does not over
take the means Of subsistence. For It
Is evident" as Mr.. Russell Wallace re-
marks in . note which he has contrib
uted to DR.. Weismann's essay, that
when one or more individuals have pro-
vided . sufficient number Of successors,

ishment in . constantly-increasing do.

EXTINCT ANIMALS.


Species Must Retreat.
The organisms that people the eArths
like every thing in the world, are sub
ject to continual change. The individ-
ual grows up, remains for . time in full
possession of its powers, then becomes
old and weak, and dies. 1t is the same
with the species-they also have their
youth, prime and old age. The bodies
Of many thousand species of animals lie
buried in the strata Of the earth, species
which were once widely spread ON the
surface Of tho earth, but died out very
long ago, leaving no descendants And
the same that occurred formerly is still
going on.
Even within historic times . whole
series of animals have become entirely
extinct, and it seems that the days OF
not few others are numbered Even
in our own century the aux inhabited
the coasts and islands of the North At
lantic, but because he could not fly and
thus escape the pursuit Of man, he was
stricken out of the book Of life.
The sea-cow, . phytOphagOus inhab'
liant of the sea, which was found on the
coast Of the Behring straits, has been
completely exterminated during the last
twenty-five years. Different kinds OF
struthious birds lived formerly on both
islands Of New leland; they were undis.
puted lords of the land, which harbOrcd
no four-footed beasts of prey and did
not need wings.
Then man appeared on the scene, and
with one blow changed every thing.
Against him the feathered lgiant could
not hold its own, and the race has long
been extinct 1t was the same with
large birds Of other islands; one species
on the island of Rodriguez died. out
after the Introduction Of swine, which
ate their eggs, they having been simply
deposited on the ground.
On these islands not only the birds
which could not fly were exterminated.
but also many which had the power Of
fight. Five or six kinds Of parrots lived
there when the place was first visited
by Europeans, but now they have dis.
appeared; and it is the same with the
bird trsgifupus rdrfux, which was de-
scribed by Flacourt as early as 1868 un-
der the name of Tiuouch, but since 1853
no living specimens have been seen.
We do not know the history of its ex-
tinction, but are sure man had . hand
in it. The bird is about nine inches
long. its color is white and blister. with
rust red on the back and tail, the beak
is long and curved, the wings and tail
moderately long. and the head 10
decorated by a hood of upright white
feathers. Principally on account Of this
hood the bird has been classed with tho
hoopoes. but according to Murie il
should be classed with the starlings.-

Il have never let any of my dogs re-
trieve birds since an experience had
with a cruel sportsman over on the
Delaware river one day last fall" said a
Scranton bird-shooter the other day.
1.-THE man owned a splendid pointer that
knew a good deal more about some
things than his master did, and we were
both shooting quails over him along the
banks of the river. He was harsh with
the dog, and the poor creature was often
compelled to do what he knew to he
senseless things, just because he felt
certain that he would be licked like
the mischief if he didn't obey. Each
side of the river. was frozen over out
to the main channel, where thera
was a strip about foot wide that
wasn't covered with ice. One of the
quail that shot started to fly across the
river. and dropped dead on the thin ice
within few inches Of the open chan
mel MY companion ordered the pointer
to go and get it, and the obedient dog
dashed out upon the ice until it got
within . couple Of yards or so Of the
dead bird, when he halted, for the ice
had begun to crack under him. Then
he looked back at his master and
wagged his tail. and his actions told US
as plain as wor Is that he knew it would
be dangerous for him to proceed any
further. / begged the man to call the
dog back and let the minks have the
quail, but he wouldn't listen to
me. Again he ordered the dog
to fetch the quail in, and again
the dog made an effort to reach
it, but the ice cracked and
he turned about, whined piteously, and
in every way that he knew how begged
his master to call him back. But the
heartless man was determined to make
the dog do as he said, and he yelled saw
agely At the pointer to get the dead bird.
Then the dog sprang forward and seized
the quail. The ice gave way under him,
the current was swift, and out Of sight
the poor thing went, with the bird in his
mouth. That was the last the cruel man
ever saw Of his obedient dog. He hunted
down the river for a long distance. but Il
vas useless, for the dog had perished
under the ice while faithfully performing
his duty. The man was sorry then. Of
course, and, indeed. the poor dog death
taught him . Lesson he never forgot y.
