Which Will DESTROY Them.

Alexander Craw, quarantine officer and
entomoiogst of the State Board of Rorii-
culture, has submitted report to the
chairman of the board. Hon. Ellwood
Cooper, in which he gives the results of
his experiments with the "black lady
bird" (Plezo bus yenIali0 in destroying
insects an fruit trees.
The "black ladybird" was imported
from abroad and placed in large numbers
among various fruit orchards throughout
the State.
Mr.. Crow. after carefully watching :heir
development, reports that the little beetles
are doing a great work In destroying in
sects which are detrimental 10 fruit. In
numerous orchards where they have been
placed the fruit crop is found TO be in far
better condition than in those orchards
where none were left. Thus far the ex-
pertinent is very encouraging. and Cali
fornis farmers may hope shortly to be
free from mOlestation by these fruit
destroying insects.

of attainments, one graduate of Y ale and
|, the other of Harvard, EXPRESSED the fore
going view of Professor Royce's range of
philosophy the evening after he delivered
his lecture at Berkeley.
a careful reading OF the lecture close to
the finish leaves one in doubt as to the
conclusion TO be formed from Professor
Royce's philosophy; but, happily, the
professor himself dispels the uncertainty
in the ultimate sentences, in which he
says: "In brief, then, the foregoing con-
ceptlon of God undertakes to be distinctly
theistic, and not pantheistic. 1t is not the
conception of an Unconscious Reality,
into which finite beings are absorbed;
nor of an Unviewed Substance, in
whose law our ethical independence is
lost; nor of an fneffable Mystery,
which we can only silently adore.
On the contrary, every ethical predicate
which the highest religious faith OF the
past has attributed to God is capable of
exact Interpretation in terms OF our present
view. For my own part, then, while L wish
to be no slave OF any tradition, L am GER
tainly disposed to insist that what the
faith OF our fathers has genuinely meant
by God is, despite all the blindness and all
the unessential accidents of religious
tradition, identical with the inevitable out
come of reflective philosophy"
Professor Mezes' remarks in criticism of
the lecture contains this significant sem
that the being whose existence, as l freely
admit he has fully established, has been
proved by him to be being possessing
worth and dignity. But what l
miss is the promised proof that there is
real being worthy of the exalted name of
God"
Professor Joseph LIE Conte said in his re-
marks: 81 can only admire, not criticize,
the subtle method OF Professor Royce in
reaching the conclusion of the personal ex-
istence of God. l have my own way of
reaching the same conclusion, but in COM
parison it is rough and ready way. His
is from the point of view of the philoso-
pher; mine from that of the scientist"
Perhaps of this subject the unlettered
Indian, who worsh1ps the Great Spiri: and
whose dream of immortality is happy
hunting-ground, knows as much as the
modern college professor. For one in
doubt the surest way is to fall back on

the United States was permitted to retire
and, also, be it said, to wait for thirty-five
days before official notice was taken of the
occasion for his visit. He was then waited
upon by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
through whom the Tai-Kun expressed his
desire first to thank the President for his
very kind advice and for the friendship he
had thus shown Japan, and then to give
his answer to certain suggestions on treaty
matters. The dem and for the residence OF
Minister at Yeddo was admitted; the
right of free trade was granted, but Japan
declined to open more than the three har-
bors already open for trade.
The narrative, up to this point, occupies
fully two-thirds of the volume. The
remainder of the book deals with the
arrangements for the famous treaty which
has since become matter for political
history familiar to many. Mr.. Harris de-
voted himself to instructlng the hermit
kingdom III the ways of modern civiliZa-
ton, and gradually gained, point by point,
of the treaty under which the ports of
Japan We're thrown open for American
commerce. That treaty has been the
basis Of all subsequent ones between Japan
and various nations, but the old Japan,
with which it was made, is thing of the
past. The hermit kingdom is, to-day, es-
sentially modern, fast becoming cosmo-
politan. 1t does not, however, forget its
Indebtedness to Townsend Harris, who,
during his subsequent years OF residence
in the country, earned from its people the
name of 'the friend of Japan" His faith
ful secretary. Henry Heusken, was assas-
sinated in Yeddo January IA, 1861, by
enemies of the new civilization, and his
tomb in a Buddhist cemetery is one
mournful reminder of those dark days.
For this act the Japanese Government
paid $4,000 indemnity to the young mans
widowed mother IN Amsterdam.
This account of Mr.. Harris labors in
Japan is necessarily personal and some
what desultory. 1t consists almost entirely
of the text of his own journals, and deals
rather with his experiences and impress
sions in a land whose people tried him
sorely, than with any analysis of political
conditions He was man of deeds rather
than of letters, but ne is throughout re-
vealed as an honest patriot, anxious to
maintain the honor as well as the profit of
his own country, and to do wrong to no
man or land. His editor, William Elliot
Griffis, has given us readable and inter
esting volume which adds materially to
our collected knowledge of Japan's prog
ress toward civilization. Boston and New

DARWIN And AFTER DARWIN.

This is the second volume OF the papers
which, previous to his unfimely death,
were projected by that eminent scientist,
Professor John George Romanes, on ques-
tions raised along the line of Darwin S
theories. Most of the matter constituting
the present section was already in type at
Professor Romanes' death, and the editor,
Professor c. Lloyd Morgan, OF University
College, Bristol, has completed the work
from notes and isolated paragraphs not
then fully arranged. The volume in ques-
ton is devoted, as its subtitle indicates,
to consideration OF sundry post-Dar-
winian questions that have of late years
arisen. The author, as is well known to
scientific readers. takes issue with Pro-
fessor Weismann in his now famous theory
of the non n-transmissibility Of inherited
traits, and with Mr.. Wallace IN his recog-
milton of natural selection as the single
factor in organic evolution.
Just what the laity is likely to gather
from all this controversy it would be
difficult to determine. Hered1ty and
utility, prenatal influence and selection
natural, sexual and artlficlai-are terms
which are only familiar to most by their
sound, and their indiscriminate use of late
years by pseudo-scien lists and writers of
fin de steele fiction and criticism has pro-
duced some rather funny results.
Professor Romanes' work is always of
value, because it appeals more readily than
most purely scientific writing to the pop
uiar intelligence, while at the same time
he has given US clear and lucid interpreta-
tions OF many of the theories now engag-
ing scientific controversy. The present
volume, as the preface explains, is devoted
TO an inquiry into those post-DarwlnIan
theories that involve fundamental Ques-
