PROFESSOR TYLER's LECTURE.
Varieties, as the Beginnings of Species
the Subject Treated.

Professor Tyler of Amherst college de-
livered last evening before large audi
enOe in the Second Advent church all in
teresting lecture on "Varieties.as the
Beginnings of Species" the fourth OF
his series of disoourses upon Evolution.
The professor reoapitulated the argu-
ments OF his first lsoture, that the theory
of evolution instead OF beingssa new idea,
was the theory held by the most ancient
Oriental and Greek philosophers and
sages. The doctrine of direct creation
was an Interloper of much later origin,
which had recently been ousted by the
older and truer idea. The burden of
proof of its correctness did not rest upon
the adherants of evolution. 1t was the
most natural and logical explanation of
the phenomena of creation. He showed
the wonderful Elasticity and variability
displayed by animals and plants especial
ly of the domestic and cultivated kinds.
He described also the variations In form
and color among living creatures aris-
ing from the geographical location and
nature of the ground upon which they
exist, and explained that this arrange
ment served as protection for the ex-
istence of these species.
He further explained that this state of
things was effected by gradual wedding
out of the forms of each species less
adapted to their surroundings which re-
suited in final survival of the fittest
among them. The theory of evolution
comprised the doctrine of the graduation
of developments. The truth of this was
proved by the rudimentary organs OBJ
served in men and animals and mentioned
the vermiform appendix, dwarfed
useless and dangerous superfuity in
men and apes, and large and effective
organ in rabbits and other ruminants.
He showed that the internal organs of
the human body were placed in such
manner as proved that man was original
~ a quadrured. The structure of all ami
mails showed them to be the results of
the process of evolution, by gradual de-
velopments, which proved that direct
creation was never the practice of ma
ture. He demonstrated the connection
of various embryonic forms, by chart
upon black board, pointing out the
variations of species by the gradual modi-
fcations of forms, and traced the various
connecting links and intermediate forms
appearing among different species. Pro-
lessor Tyler gave point to his arguments
in many instances by apt and humorous
illustrations which were appreciated
by his audience. who literally applauded
his lecture.

When Napoleon III was approaching
sovereignty, he asked a judic:ous friend
to observe him carefully for week and
to point cut to him anything that he did
which was not according to the severest
code of the manner Of well bred man.
At the end of the week there was only
one practice which his friend had no
ticed. Tho emperor, after eating boil
ed egg, invariably thrust his spoor
through it.
Whence this practice has arisen, n
