Depeneracy a Form of Atavism

Every organic innovation which has
appeared in the course OF evolution had
manifestly, at one time or other, to APP
pear for the first time. AT first advent it
was an anomaly. departure from the
type Of species; but it was an advanta-
geous departure. 1t was an evolutionary
anomaly, and became subsequently
the common property of the species,
which wa. benefited by its possession.
Degeneration, on the other hand, is an
anomaly which does not appear for the
first time, but recurs long after it has
ceased to be typical. 1t is form of
avatism. If ii were TO become general 1t
would cause the species to revert to stages
OF development long since passed. That
is a fundamental difference. Healthy
genius is, to be sure, also an anomaly.
ii it were something universal and typi-
cal we should not call it genius. and it
would IN no wise attract our attention.
| But ii is an anomaly in evolution and
progress. 1t means survival and future.
Degenerate psuedogenius is also all
anomaly, but it is retrogression. an await
istic anomaly. 1t means destruction and
| a past.-Century.

BRUTAL ASSAULT
Little Girl Said to Have Been Ravished by an
Old Man

James Sharp. an old man about go years
Of age, who has been living in little
tumbe-down shanty on the corner OF
Sacramento and Lemon streets, was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff White yesterday
evening for having assaulted little i
year-old girl named Gertie Moore.
According to Sharp's story the child
entered his cabin several days ago and
made the most peculiar advances to him,
exposing her person and expressing de-
sire for him to do the same. This he did,
though he claims not TO have ravished
the child. The neighbors say the little
girl remained in his house for half an
hour.
When arrested Sharp was singing
hymns to himself IN o wild fashion. He
maintains that his actions were ordered
by the Lord and he is therefore not res
ponsible. Sharp has lived in this city for
three years and is known to be a religi-
Gus crank with slightly disordered mind.
