To the Editor Of the World:
|. IL was established nrmiy by Darwin
and Wallace, and is generally believed 10
be true. except in some special cases, as
in degenerate types. &c. But II Is gene
rally believed 70 be only half the truth
as a factor IN organic evolution.
2 We do not know any more than IN
the case Of any other undiscovered coun-
try. Its discovery Is entirely possible and
nrobable. and what will be- learned as 10
the geology and other physical features
OF that region will be of great sclentlhc
importance.
3. Can't answer.
The discoveries in the natural sci
euces are very numerous. In geology
mention the discovery OF eruptive rocks
of great age In Southern Pennsylvania
the natural divisions Of the red BEDS
from connecticut TO North Carolina, the
doiir,itation Of the "rubble-drift" age IN
West Europe. In paleontology. the analy-
sia NJ the South African saurian parih-
saurus. the discovery Of the giant ie"u,
of Madagascar. the discovery OF .o's.i
dve-toed actiodactyle mammals IN west
ern North America. In comparative anal
onv that OF the brain has become ihuSh
hotter known. also that OF many other
organs. In embryology the ectooerhi'C
