CRISP ON THE SITUATION.
Congress Could Adjourn Tomorrow IT the
President Would Act.

WASHINGTON, u. c., August 20
Speaker Crisp returned to-day from seve-
raj days rest at old Point Comfort, Va
lie says there is no programme for the
week The House is merely waiting FOR
the Presidents action on the tariff bill.
Adjournment could be had by Wednesday,
Mr.. Crisp says, IL the President should
act upon the bill The only legislative
matter pending on which action Is hoped
for is the alcohol BILL now before the
Senate, but this appears TO be affected
by the Murphy resolution postponing all
tariff legislation, and in any event the
House would not be likely TO defer ad-
journment for it.
Members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee say they do not think the Presl-
dent will let the tariff bill become law
until the last moment, In order that the
customs officers may have all the informa-
ton possible before putting the act into
effect. This would give until midnight OF
Monday next. so that an adjournment
could not come until Tuesday.

FIVE BURNING QUESTIONS.
Answers to Them from tho Scientists
Gathered In Brooklyn.

CNew York World Of Sunday)
The scientists who have been debating
all sorts Of abstruse questions in Brook
Ign represent the accumulated wisdom
OF the country When other people are
at play. without a thought OF the Stone
Age or the secret of the tides. they are
studying the stars. or prying among
dusty tones for the origin Of things
Therefore. il there is anything about
the revolution Of the earth or the de-
velopment of the hepaticae or the
color OF a butterfiy's wing. or anything
else that bothers you. just go TO them
Bearing this fact I'm mind the World
has addressed TO these learned gentle
men for solution the five scientific
questions most frequently submitted to
the editor These questions are I'M
doubtedly Of great current interest, and
here they are:
1. Has the Darwrian theory OF ma
tural selection and the survival OF the
fttest made any progress since the death
OF Darwin. or has it lost ground?
2. or what practical utility would the
discovery of the North Pole be? Is such
a discovery scientifically possible?
3. Do you think it Will be possible to
construct a real flying machine?
4. What specially important discovery or
development in scientific matters have
association?
>. What do you consider the greatest
scientific question Of the day7
These questions cover a wide range Of
thought and 1t takes a mighty knowing
man 10 return complete and convincing
answers to them all. The East, the West.
the North. and the South are represented
in the answers. and naturally they vary
for very wise men differ In opinions
You should notice however. how several
agree that the origin Of man is the great
est scientific question OF the day. Most
believe that the Darwnian theory has
held its own. and that the discovery Of
the North Pole would be useless to man.
Here are the answers themselves:
A CHEMISTS ANSWERS.
To the Editor OF the World:
1. The death of Darwin had no tendency
to check the progress OF belief In doc
trine whose falsity would render all effort
at progress futile. The belief in the fact
of evolution due TO adaptation to environ
ment is a fundamental tenet OF all scien-
tific men. Those who deny IT may be
learned, but they are not scientific. The
survival OF the fittest' is, however, only
one factor in evolution.
2. II would serve TO establish as reality
a non-existence, and give more definite
point for the operations Of rescuing par
ties
3. Yes. but impossible to operate 1t.
4. In chemical physics the freezing Of a
soap bubble in the atmosphere OF liquid
carbon dioxide. In chemistry the discov-
cry of new element in the atmosphere.
In agricultural chemistry the isolation of
a bacterian capable Of oxidizing free at
mospheric nitrogen In a carbohydrate me-
dunn.
5. The placing OF agriculture on truly
scientific basis. insuring the production of
food and clothing for an indefinite in
crease in population, thus forever de-
stroying the moribund theories OF NAL
