A GREAT PROBLEM.
The Missing link Between Inorganic and
Organic Life.

The Missing link Between Inorganic and
Organic Life.
One great life problem remains which
the doctrine Of evolution does not touch
Tho origin CT species, genera, orders
and classes of beings through endless
transnlutations is in a sense explained,
but what of the first term of this long
series? Whence came that prilnordial
organism whose transmitted descendants
make up the existing faunas and foras
of the globe?
There was a time, soon after the doc
trine of evolution gained hearing,
when the answer to that question SEEM
ed to some scientists of authority to
have been given by experiment Recur-
ring to former belief and repeating
some earlier experiments, the director
of the museum of natural history at
Rouen, M. f. A. Pouchet, reached the
conclusion that organic beings are spon-
taneously generated about US constantly
in the familiar processes of putrefac-
ton, which were known to be due to
the agency of microscopic bacteria. But
in 1862 Louis Pasteur proved that this
seeming spontaneous generation is IN
reality due TO the existence of germs in
the air Notwithstanding the conclu-
siveness of these experiments, the claims
of Pouchet were revived in England
ten years later by Professor Bastian,
but then the experiments of John Tyn-
dali, fully eorroborating the results of
Pasteur, gave final quietus to the claim
Of spontaneous generation as hitherto
formulated
There for the moment the matter
rests. But the end is not yet. Fauna
and flora are hero, and, thanks to La
marck and Wallace and Darwin, their
development, through the operation of
those secondary causes" which we
call laws of nature, has been proximal.
~ explained The lowest forms of life
have been linked with the highest in
unbrolxen chains of descent. Meantime,
through the efforts of chemists and
biologists, the gap between the inorganic
aud the organic worlds, which once
seemed almost infinite, has been con-
stantly narrowed. Already philosophy
can throw a bridge across that gap. But
induotive science, which builds It's own
bridges, has not yet spanned the chasm.
small though it appear, Until it shall
have done so the bridge Of organic evo-
luton is not quite complete, yet even
as it stands today it is the most stupen-
dous scientific structure Of our century.

HIS HIGH PRICED EYE.
How Clever Bunko Game WAS Played

How Clever Bunbo Game WAS Played
on Son of Sammy Italy.
A we'll planned scheme was worked
on a down town Italian confectioner
the other night whereby he lest $50.
About 2 p. N. man who had one good
eye and one glass eye came wandering
along the street and stopped at this
Italian S fruit stand. He stopped over
to look at some of the fruit, when IN
expeetedly his glass eye fell from its
socket down among the bananas and
oranges
The pretending purchaser at once be-
gan diligent search for the missing
glass eye. With both hands he clawed
into the fruit, scattering it III all di-
rectiens. The Italian reu. forward and
told the stranger to stote TIE one eyed
man explained that his SASS eye had
dropped down there and that he wanted
to get it.
The italian became enraged and told
the stranger to come around in the even
ing and he could get the other eye. The
man explained he was stranger and
would not be here in the evening, but
if he (the Italian) found the eye he
should bring it to his hotel, where $10o
would be paid to him.
An hour later another man came
along, pretended TO make purchase,
and while lingering around in the fruit
suddenly espied the wonderful glass eye.
The man from Italy made grab for it,
but was too late, as his would be Gus
toner already had it. Both claimed the
eye, and quarrel ensued. The Italian
patched matters up by giving the stran-
ger $50 for the eye, thinking he would
get 500 upon returning it and he
would have 500 clear.
He went to the hotel with the eye TO
get the 800 that he was told awaited
him there. He found that no such man
had been there and no 800 was left
there for him. He then saw how he was
worked and notified the police. Pitts

SCOTS DEAREST WISH.
Frustrated by the Fatality Attending the

Polwarth Scott reared Abbotsford at
enormous cost, but there his work be-

eeeded to the baronetcy, survived him
only Is years and died in 1847, I'M
married, at the Cape, and so the bar
onetcy became extinct. His second son
died at faroff Teheran, also unmarried.
So the name of Scott was left to his
daughter Charlotte, who married Lock
hart the biographer of Sir Walter. Her
son, Walter Scott Lockhart, adopted the
namo of Scott, bat, with all the e1traor-
binary fatality that had overcome his
unoles, he, too, died unmarried at the
age Of 26, and SO the estate passed to
his sister Charlotte, who married j. R.

MIR. GEER is a DODGEh'

and recent events would indicate that
he is. Nevertheless he is willing 10
build up some notoriety by lodging
process. whereby he and his sup
norters seek to leave the impression
that Mr.. King has refused to meet hiln
in debate.
Mr.. Geer spoke at Toledo, in Lin
coin county, on May I'd. We under
stand that they advertised that there
was to be joint discussion between
MIR. Geer and Mr.. King, the opposlng
nominee. This was done to draw a
large crowd, and was successful. Inc
Oregonian stated that Mr.. Geer eA-
pressed his regrets at Mr.. Kings ao-
sence. Now the truth of the matter 49,
Mr.. King was never invited to attend
such meeting either directly or inol-
rectlv. He had challenged Mr.. Geer
for Joint discussion which MIR. Geer
refused. Mr.. Geer, in private let'
ter to one of his republican frlends,
stated that he would not object to oil
vidinp time with Mr.. King at any Of
his appointed places for speaking ou'
no notice was ever extended to either
the union campaign committee OF
Mr., King to this effect, either oy let
ter or otherwise. These are the tao
tics adopted by the republican party
for the purpose of drawing crowe
and misleading the people as TO Int
true situation of the facts. They wer'
never known to conduct campalei

indications are they never Will d
