HIS OWN IDEA.
The Origin of Darwin's Theory of Ev-
O1utiOn.
Harper's Magazin


OIutiOn.
Harper's Magazine.
AS long ago as July 1, 1887. young OAR
win, then twenty-eight years of age, had
opened q private journal. in which he pur-
posed to record all facts that came to him
which seemed to have any bearing on the
moot point Of the doctrine of transmuta-
ton of species. -Four or five years earlier,
during the course of that famous trip
around the world with Admiral Fitzroy, as
naturalist to the Beagle, Darwin had made
the personal observations which first tend
ed to shake his belief in the fixity Of spe-
cieS. In South America, in the Pampean
formation, he had discovered great fossil
animals covered with arnOr like that on
the existing armadillos," and had been
ancient and existing faunas Of the same re-
gion. He was also greatly impressed by
the manner in which closely related species
of animals were observed to replace one
continent; and ''by the South American
character Of most of the productions of
the Galapagos archipelago, and more es-
pecially by the manner in which they diff
fer on each island of the group, none of
the islands appearing to be very ancient in
a geological sense
At first the full force of these observa-
tons did not strike him; for, under sway
of LyelPs geological conceptions, he ten
tatively explained the relative absence of
life on one of the Galapagos islands by
suggesting that perhaps no species had
been created since that island arose But
gradually 1t dawned upon him that such
facts as he had observed could only be
explained on the supposition that species
gradually become modified" From then on,
as he afterward asserted the subject
haunted him. 1t will thus be seen that
the idea of the variability of species came
to Charles Darwin as an inference from
personal observations in the field, not as a
thought borrowed from books.

MRS. CLAY WAS LONELY

VALLEY VIEW, KY. Nov. 20.-Gen. Cas-
sins Marcellus Clay's girl wife, who was
Dora Richardson. was interviewed in the
plank cabin of her brother, Clell Richard
son. who works in the sawmills here. When
asked why she left palatial Whitehall for
the lowly cabin, she said: II was lonesome.
1 had no young company until the general
went to Cincinnati last month and stayed
two weeks having his eyes treated. Then
Mamie Biggerstaf. about my age, came
and stayed with me till the general got
back. have been away from him two
weeks, but have gone to see him five times
since then. I'll not go back until 1 get my

not love General Clay any more.

or death, but by the payment of cattle, as
prescribed in this extraordinary tariff. An
other interesting relic is found in the law
OF New York State. where the legal theory
OF suit for damages for alternating a wife's
arection Is that the injured husband has
been injured In his property rights. In New
Mexico the law of the last century prevails,
and man can be put in jail for his wife's
misdeeds. In Nevada, as late as 1878. the
law read: Her earnings are the wifes, if
her husband has allowed her to appropriate
them for her own use. and u Is deemed a
gift from him to her" In Louisiana hus-
band Is entitled to all his wife's earnings,
which Is also the case In Texas.
