Vulnerable worlds that swim about In

In natural sciences men like Lam
arck. Cuvier. st. Hilaire. Agassiz and
Darwin have revealed many truths
even II they have stumbled over many
mysteries. Lamarck's doctrine OF eVo-
luton as stated In 1902, gave an en-
tlreIy new direction to research lie
was followed by a train Of students ana
discoveries. Won Baer proved that all
mammals developed from eggs Cosle
Naleutin and Jones discovered that
these eggs We're homologous 70 those OF
lower vertebrates, and In 1897 Remak
made the remarkable discovery OF the
three germlnal layers. Numerous eX-
pIoring expeditions for the study OF
marine zoology Welded abundant fruit

the mysteries Of animal life were thus
revealed.
The advancement in the means
OF communication Is one OF the
most striking features OF the century A
hundred years ago II required more
than four months 20 convey Il message
from one point 10 It's antlpodes. To-
day il Is received almost the same min
ute that Il Is sent. For thousands OF
years our forefathers made but lttle
procress from the horse and the canoe
But OH al once. and as by magic, the
steamboat the railroad the telegraph
and the telephone came into existence
The old side-wheel steamers were al
first the maryels Of the world, but now,
even the Oceanic and the Kaiser VIII
helm excite but little attention.
Through the maryels Of steam and
electricity all the different parts OF the
world have been placed In immediate
contact with one another, The nations
have become one family
Asa consequence the relations Of one
country toward another have become
more respectful. II not friendly. People
know one another better There Is an
aversion 20 war and strife among the
maCnates Of commerce and finance.
Men of thought and learning and
science. In most countries, and conspic-
uously I'm France and Italy, feel so
warm a sympathy with their fellow
students and fellow workers In other
nations that they DO what they can TO
promote good feeling and discounte-
nance war. The socialists and So
called lab0rists all over Europe desire
90 overthrow what they call the dOmln-
alton OF soldiers and capitalists, and 70
unite the working classes In every coun.
try FOR this purpose, and they see their
nearest and most formidable antagOn-
lists M international jealousles and In
The system ~ vast standing armies,
Their whole weight Is usually thrown
into the scale II peace. Even In Eng
land. where this movement has been
much less strong than IN France or
Germany. the socialist party has been
almost unanimous In It's protest against
the South African war
The advance in medical science Is as
marked. At the beginning Of the ecu
tury nothing was known about chloro-
form or ether. There was no antiseptlc
surgery. The distinction between ty-
plus and typhoid fever between scar
latina and diphtherie were unknown,
and a doctor at that time could not

AS a consequence OF this advance hu-
