Boise. Idaho. Nov. 2s.--The supreme
court has handed own the DIGESTION in the
case Of William l.. Spaulding VS.. the
Occur dAlene Railway / Navigation
Company involving lain Of some $35..
900 for balance due for construction Of
the road from the Old Mission to Ward
ner Junction. The curious fact is brought
out that the engineers estimate of cost
was $4,000 while the actual cost was
over $73.OoO. Owing to disputes and to
the claim that the company violated it's
portion OF the contract, Spaulding did not
entirely finish the work, and the company
refused to settle with him. The lower
court gave him judgment for $23.657 and
interest and costs, amounting in all to
$36.5S7. This judgment is affirmed.

1t is interesting to follow Judge Temple
through his computation of the number of per-
sons of Covenantor stock in the colonies at tho
date of the Declaration of Independence. 1t
seems certain that majority of tho population
of the colonies was in the South. The five
Southern colonies contained at least half of tho
English speaking race In America Virginia
alone contributed one firth Of the population,
or about $50. 900 souls. According to McMas-
terss estimate all the colonies together had only
2,75O,OOO inhabitants. OF that number more
than l.375, 900 were in tho South. 1t is proba-
BILE that, at the outbreak Of the Revolution, the
New England States had collectively no more
than $50. 900 inhabitants All of these were not
of Puritan blood. There were some Ouakers
and many Baptista. Rhode Island was a Bap-
tist colony. At an early day 22, 900 Covenant
ers settled In Now England, some of them in
1918. and all of them In tho first part of tho
eighteenth century. They were numerous In New
Hampshire. Vermont, and the District of Maine
Judge Temple calculates that the Coyenanters
who settled in New England during the fifty
years preceding l775 must with their de-
scendants have amounted at the latter date
to fifty or sixty thousand These. with the
Quakers and tho Baptists, probably made the
number of persons not OF Puritan blood in
New England fully 100000, leaving for the
latter race only about 100000, including
slaves and indented servants. On the other
hand, the Covenanters In all the colonies at
that time are computed by Judge Temple
at over 100000. The figures need not surprise
us when we call to mind that between 1928 and
1850 l., 900 arrived annually In Philadelphia
alone. II we suppose that these had only doubled
In forty-seven years. they would have amounted
in 1878 to half q million. The Covenanters.
however, who landed in Philadelphia were not
the only ones who camo to the colonies They
debarked at other ports as we'll: at New
York. New Castle. Baltimore. Wilmington,
Charleston, and Savannah. The emigra-
tion began about tho year 100. and
continued. with intermissions. until the
Revolution. Sometimes 1t WAS very active.
"In the two years which followed the Antrim
evictions," says Froude, 100000 Protestants
left Ulster" James Logan. President of tho
Proprietary Council of Pennsylvania. wrote In
1929 that last week not less than six ships ar

troops furnished by the keystone State to the
Continental Army. Tho same thing was true of
the whole country south of the Delaware. The
fact Is noteworthy that while many OF the Epis-

the Revolution. almost every Covenanter

Pioneer. or Evolution trl-., No,,ce,.

In volume Of 26O pages, called Pioneers of
Eroiution tAppletons), Mr.. EDWARD CLoDD has
undertaken to tell the story of the origin OF the
evolution idea and it's revival in modern times,
after centuries of suspended animation during
which the Church taught, and the laity &C
copied, the sufflciency of the Scriptures and Of
the General Councils to decide on matters which
lie outside the domain OF both. The first part Of
the book is devoted to those Greek and Roman
pioneers Of evolution from Thales to Lucretius.
A second part. which covers the period from tho
beginning of our era to A. D. 1000. is divided
into two chapters. the first Of which is allotted
to the three and half centuries preceding Au-
gustine, and the second to the twelve centuries
intervening between Augustine and Francis
Bacon. Lord Nerulam. whom the author incor-
rectly describes as" Lord Bacon" In tho third
part the author depicts the renaissance of science
from A. ID. 1900 onward. while. in the fourth
and concluding part is described the develop
ment OF tho evolutionary theory in our own day
by Spencer. Darwin, Wallace. and Huxley.

Thus Ear speculation has run largely on the
origin Of life forms; but presently We encounter
II revival of speculation about the nature OF
things generally and the formulation OF a theory
which links Greek cosmology with early nine
teenth century science. Dcmocritus of Abdera,
who was born about 400 B c.. has the credit of
celebrating an atomic theory, though in all
likelihood he only developed further what Leu.
cippus had taught before him. or this last.
named philosopher nothing whatever is known,
but Aristotle gives him the credit of the dis.
covery, and Theophrastus. the pupil Of Aris.
totle, says that Leucippus assumed innumer.
able and cver-moving elements. namely, the
atoms. He mado their forms infinite in num-
her. since there was no reason why they should
bo of one kind rather than another, and be-
cause he saw that there was unceasing trans
formation and change in things. He held.
further, that rhat is is no more real than
rhnt is not, and that both are alike causes OF
tho things that come into being; for he laid
down the proposition that the substance OF the
atoms was compact and full, and he called them
,rhat is, whereas they moved in void which he
called Thnf is not, but affirmed TO be lust as
real as rhdt is" Thus, according to Theophras
