PROF. COULTER ON EVOLUTION.
He Reads Paper Before the Contem-
pOrary Club.

Professor Coulter read a paper before the
Contemporary Club, at the Propylaeum, last
night on the history of evolution. In the
outstart he said the paper would necessari-
ly be limited in its scope, and would not
give details in any particular. He stated
briefly that the theory of epgenisis was pro-
mulgated by Aristotle, but it was not first
announced by this philosopher. 1t remained
theory until the time of Harvey, when it be-
came ascertained facts. He said for a long
time it had been thought that the germ con-
tanned in miniature everything that it pro-
duced, and this enlargement was called evo-
luton. In this line it was thought that the
acorn contained in very minute form the
perfect oak tree. Along this line of thought
il was the generally accepted opinion that
nothing really new was ever generated nor
nothing ever annihlated. The seeming new
ton, and the seeming deaths were simply
a return TO the germ FORM Professor Coul-
ter said acquiesence TO the doctrine of evo-
luton did not compel an acquieSence to
that of involution also. The old theory of
evolution, and that the germ contained all it
produced, had since been exploded, and
1t was now known that germs were a
homogeneous mass, and that part was
added to part. He said affinity in construc-
ton implied genetic connection. No plant
or animal is perfectly adapted to its sur
The goal OF all organization was perfect
adaptation
