ORGANIC EVOLUTION.
What Has Made the Difference Be-
tween individuals and Species

Or. David Starr Jordan, in the Arena
In a different sense the word evolution
is applied to the theory of the origin of
organs and of species of divergence and
development This theory teaches that all
forms OF life now existing or that have
existed on the earth have sprung from a
common stock. which has undergone a
change In a multitude of ways and under
varied conditions. the forces and influences
producing such change being known as the
FACTORS of organic evolution" All char
acters and attributes of species and groups
have developed with changing conditions
of life. The homOlogies among animals
are the result of common resent. The diff
ferences are due to various influences. chief
among these being competition in the strug-
between species. whereby those best
adapted TO their surroundings lived and re-
produced their kind.
This theory is now the central axis of
all biological investigation in all its branch
es, from ethics 10 histology. from anthrop-
ology TO bacterioogy. In the light of this
theory every popularity of structure every
character or quality of individual or spe-
cieS, has a meaning and a cause 1t is the

TARIFF LAW SIMPLIFIED.
Change in Custom Features That Will
ReneGf TnuriSfS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Regulations
will be issued by the Treasury Department
in few days which will simplify the work
of collecting the personal belongings tax
in the Dingley law. BY the new regulations
everything that cannot be strictly classed
as personal effects toilet articles, and
which, with the other possessions belonging
to the tourist, is valued at more than S100,
will pay duty in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Dingley law. The regulations
direct the collectors of customs to tax ev-
erything which is not a personal effect or
not toilet article be it a bicycle, a shot
gun, a rug or what not.
1t is also intended by the department to
put up notices in the customs offices and on
board steamers advising Americans to leave
a list of all wearing apparel and other per-
sonal effects taken by them out of this
country with the collector of customs. so
that there will be no question of taxing
them upon the return of the owners. The
posting of these placards is meant for a
convenience to tourists and in order to pre-
vent them paying duty on goods which they
will take to Europe with them. The regu-
lations will also call attention to the fact
that the law does not permit Americans to
bring tools of trade into this country free
OF duty, although it specifies that mmi-
grants shall eniOV this privilege.
