BY an order issued last July the uni
form Of the United States army was
modified very greatly and adapted more
than formerly TO the necessities Of the
service. which now include tropical as
well as Arctic and fighting conditions.
New uniforms were devised. and new
forms Of old uniforms, new decorations
and new corps insignia were invented

attractive in peace and more workman

By The order as first issued officers had
until January L TO procure the new uni
form. but this time, was extended until
July 1. AS the board which devised the
Uniform is now considering changes in
the details. and as several protests or
applications for changes nave been made
il is possible that the tine may be ex-
tended still further.
But that is as may be. Meantime the
general idea Of the order is still in force.

th0rized 20 wear a special full dress uni
form and a mess Jacket.
The full dress uniform is about the
same as that now worn. except in details.
IL consists OF a frock coat. trousers OF
breeches, gold sword belt and a full
dress hat. which takes the place Of the
hideous helmet The other changes are
in the details Of the ornamentation Of
the coat. There is a good deal OF gold
lace on % in various places.
The dress uniform is much lik, the
present fatigue uniform. consisting OF a
blouse and its accomplishments. the

DARWINIsM FAILING.

The death OF the late Prof. Vlrchow
has called attention to his opposition to
the doctrine known as Darwinlsm, and
n German scientist, DR.. r. Dennert has
Issued u pamphlet on the subject, In
which he maintains that Darwinism Is
on It's deathbed, Extracts from this
pamphlet are made In the current num-
Der OF The Literary Digest. DR.. Dem
merit says among other things that the
doctrine Of descent or evolution is now
generally accepted as demonstrated,
but the doctrine OF natural selection by
means Of the struggle for existence, Is
being crowded 10 the wall all along the
line. "The bulk Of modern scientists"
he gays, do not recognize II, and those
who have not yet discarded It at any
rate regard II as Of subordinate i'm
portance. Older views have again come
into acceptance, which do not deny de-
yelopment, but maintain that this was
not purely mechanical process"
Prof Virchow's position Is also sup
ported by the press The Germania
says on TIE subject;
"The great bacteriologlst Pasteur was
an 'outsp0ken opponent OF the material
istlc explanation Of the origin OF things
known as the generate @quivoca, or
the development OF organic beings out
OF Inorganic, In the Darwlnlan phil.
osophy. He stated his opposition in
these words 'Posterlty will one day
laugh at the foolishness OF the mod
ern materlalistic philosophers. The
more I study nature, the more l stand
amazed at the works Of the Creator
pray while am engaged In my work In
the laboratory
Prof Nirchow's statement at the last
congress OF anthropolos-sts Mt Vienna
is quoted lie said, "The attempt TO
find the transition from animal to man
has ended IN q total failure. The mid.
die link has not been found and VIII not
be found. Man Is not descended from
the ape. II has been proved beyond a
doubt that during the past 1--WE thou
sand years there has been no noticeable
change in mankind"
Some years ago all who hoped to see
the Almighty banlshed from the uni
verse by the dcta OF scientists eagerly
embraced the doctrine Of natural So
lection as a sufficient substitute for tho
story Of creation, and many were win.

The Times literary critic recognizes the
rubbish contained IN the book, and the

"There has been, in our opinion, an
immense amount Of sentiment wasted,
an immense amount OF sbalderdash
written, on this subject Of Mormonism.
Mr.. Henry has added to this amount.
In the matter of literary merit his book
Is not deserving OF any praise, but 1t

theme the institution OF polygamy

In this respect It Is no better of than
