have weaved the scattered facts and OBJ
servations into one harmonious fabric
Although Darwin's name is, in popu-
lar estimation, more intimately connect
ed with the doctrine of evolution, that
of Mr.. Wallace (happily still among us)
has obtained well-deserved fame IL,
connection with the geographical dis
tribution of animals, branch of bio
logical science which may be said to be-
almost an. exclusive product of the Vic.
torian era. 1t was in 1885, two years only
before the accession, that Swanson
published his Geography and Classifi
cation OF Animals" and from that date
until the appearance of Wallace's Geo.
graphical Distribution of Animals" in
1876, this branch of science was being
gradually evolved and perfected. In
deed, both on this and the other side of
the Atlantic this interesting and i'm
portant study is still employing the EN-
ergies of several workers, although it
would be obviously inappropriate to say
much in this place regarding the labors
of living writer's. Evolution and geo
graphical distribution may be regarded
as sister branches of geology as neither
could exist without the other, and it is
difficult to say which is most indebted to
it's fellow
From the subject of the geographical
distribution of animals and plants there
is gradual and imperceptible transit
ton to the study of the changes in the
relative distribution of land and water
which have taken place on the surface Of
the globe during the later ages of its ex-
istence. And although this is in reality
a geographical rather than biograph-
ical problem, it is one intimately con-
rected with the fauna of the ocean abys-
ses The interesting results obtained by
the dredging cruises OF H. M. ships Por-
cupine and Lightning in the summer of
1868, 1869 and 1870 led to the dispatch on
December 21st, 1872, of H. M. S. Chal-
lenger orr heightened dredging and ex-
ploring voyage, which was brought to a
successful termination on May oath, 1876,
on the evening of which day the cor
vette anchored at Spithead The re-
suits OF this cruise revolutionized pre-
vious ideas as to the nature of the ocean
bed and the fauna of it's abyssal depths,
while vast store of information was ac-
CURED with regard to pelagic creatures
OF all kinds. During the voyage the art
of deep-sea dredging and sounding was,
brought nearly to its present perfection.
This and other cruises made during the
reign have brought to our kno,redge the
luminous fishes inhabiting the dark
ocean abysses, and they have. also re-
vealed the fact that creatures like the
sea lilies, long supposed to be practically
extinct, are still abundant at suitable
depsls In the ocean. The publication Of
the scientific results of the Challe rer.s
cruise commenced In 1880, and has only
recently been completed.

earth have been explored and opened up
and the fauna of Thibet and other parts
OF Central Asiafl of large portion of
Africa, of New Guinea, of Central Aus
tralia and of many Oceanic islands, as
we'll as the interior of Borneo and Ce-
lebes, have been revealed and de-
scribed.
The ornithology Of South America
has received an especial attention dur
ing the reign, while the magnificent ex-
positions have made known the entire
fauna and fora of the central districts
of the New World. In the classification
and morphology of fishes, as also in our
knowledge of whales and other marine
mammals, great advances have been
made. In embryology and physiology
the strides have been enormous.
New doctrines in connection with the
evolution of animal life hove also been
propounded by Darwin within the Pc
riod of which write. Among these one
of the most important and one which
has probably played very considerable
part in nature, is that of parallelism in
development; that Is to say the inde-
pendent development of similar struc-
lures, or in course of adaptation to SIM
lldl COHultlOIlS VI lllS tOO, Is
another important factor in nature, the
discovery and recognition of which has
taken place during the queens reign.
The cutting of thin sections of animal
.and vegetable tissues and their exami-
nation under the microscope, and the
wonderful results that have been OBJ
tanned thereby, are also q development
of the reign, as is likewise microscopy
In general. Bacteria and microbes are

, forms one Of the greatest achievements
OF the latter part of the era and the in
calculable benefits which have already
been conferred upon suffering human
ity by this line of study are we'll known
The reign of Queen Victoria will be
notable in future generations for scien-
tific discovery and progress, and among
the sciences that have advanced,by leaps
and bounds during this heightened ne
riod, biology must surely occupy one of
the most prominent positions. Indeed
1t Is almost impossible for workers at the
present day to realize how imperfect was
our knowledge, and how comparatively
few were our books on biological sub
jects, in the year of grace 1897 To give
any adequate idea of the amount of
progress that has been made in even one
branch of this science during the reign,
would be manifestly impossible in an ar
ticle Of the present length and it is hence
a matter of extreme difficulty to select
points for special mention.
OF Owens works the greater portion
has appeared during the reign, although
his memoir on the mammary glands Of
the duckbill bears the date 1882. This
serves to remind us that the history of
the monotreme mammals has been prac-
tically worked out during the same pc
riod. the discovery that these animals lay
eggs not having beer announced till the
year 1854 Although, owing to his per-
Sistent opposition to the doctrine Of evo-
luton, his theories of the relationships
of animals have not met with accepta-
ton, It Is difficult to estimate the debt
which zoology and paaeontology owe to
Owen for his work during the reign.

To him is due the honor of making
known to the world 1.-THE former existence
OF the gigantic extinct moas CDinorni-
thidae) of New Zealand, and also Of the
wonderful extinct marsupial' fauna of
Australia, while he was the pioneer in
the elucidation OF the equally marvellous
fossil mammals in South America. Had
these faunas not been discovered and
worked out, we should never have gained
our present ideas of the geographical
distribution of animals. To the same
master Of anatomy is due the description
of the long tailed Jurassc bird (archae-
opteryx) in 1862, the fossil being one of
the most remarkable missing links"
ever discovered-too late, unfortunately,
for Darwins "Origin of Species" AL
though many of his views are now proved
to be erroneous, owen also did much for
the extinct Mesozoic reptiles which he
we'll christered Dinosaurs, and his la
bors laid the foundation for almost all
subsequent work on fossil reptiles in gen.
eral.
The mention of Dinosaurs naturally
leads on to Huxley, who, although by o
means essentially a paleontologist, was
the first to point out the connection be-
tween that extraordinary group of rep
tiles and birds, line of investigation
in which he was ably seconded by j. w.
Hulke. The lfe-work of Huxley was
entirely produced during the reign and
how much it contributed to systematic
and morphological zoology, needs no
mention here. One Of his most famous
memors-on the structure of the palate
of birds-forms, to a great extent, the
basis of the present classifications of the
group.
But in popular estimat ton Huxley's
greatest claim is probably his brilliant

Facing the Inevitable.

Tomas Estrada Palma, head of the
Cuban revolutionary bureau in New
York, and practically the directing
power in the entire insurrection, when
asked his opinion of the cabinet
changes at Madrid and of the prom
ised notifications of Spain's policy to-
ward the insurgents, replied:
"Inasmuch as the Cubans. are now
more than ever firmly resolved to ac-
cept nothing short of absolute inde-
pendence, the offer of the new Span
ish ministry to grant autonomy can
have no effect in terminating the war.
We are satisfied that the hour of our
complete freedom is at hand, and this
offer only confirms us in the belief that
Spain knows that she has lost Cuba.
We care not whether there is a Liberal
or Conservative ministry. We did not
listen to Canovas when he offered au-
tonomy; we will not listen to Sagasta.
We have constituted ourselves a nation
and will be acknowledged as such by
Spain, whether under a Liberal or a
Conservative ministry, or under a re-
lay down our arms. We are confident
of speedy success. We are fully pre-
pared for the most aggressive cam
| paign of the war. Spain played her
| best cards first, and lost. What Cam
pos and Weyler, with more than forty
generals and over 100000 men failed tC
! do. no other general can accomplish
| reflect the unanimous opinion of all
our generals and our government when
l say that the only solution is our in
| dependence
This statement has the ring of sin
! cerity, and moreover the attitude
which it expresses is one that fully
| conforms to the manifest logic of the
situation. No American who is familiar
with the history of his own country's
| revolution and who recalls that at the
first the insurgent colonists aimed
merely to secure administrative re-
forms from Britain will be surprised
that as the lines of division have tight.
ened in Cuba the patriots there have
been led by events to determine upor
absolute and unconditional independ
ence.
And this, after all. is best. Let tht
agony of the centuries in Cuba b,
ended. Let not the volcano be bridgeC

have enjoyed 1t and the Republicans
of Michigan would no doubt have pre-
ferrcd to see the energy of Secretary
Alger saved for home problems.
We refer to this subject for no other
purpose than to direct attention to the
remarkable success with which Presi-
dent Mckinley has during the most
critical portion of his administration
met and mastered the dilemmas of pat
ronage AMI kept behind him at all
times practically the undiminished
strength of his party. He has not
been a partisan in office; yet at the
same time his relation to party has
been that of a prudent party leader
mindful of the necessity of sustaining
and strengthening honest organization
of party forces. We do not remember
to have read in history of any earlier
president who in the same period in
these respects did so well.
