pseudo nun made charges against the
institution. The IL solicitors are said
to collect from $3.50 to 5000 a day.

ATTACKS DARWIN THEORY.

Holland Professor EIectrifies Con-
gress of Arts and Science by De.
nouncIng Popular Idea.
Combating the theory of Darwin as
to the origin of species and advancing
a theory of MS own which revolution
izes all ideas OF biologists and phyolo-
gists, Prof. Hugo De Vries, professor
of botany in the University of Amster-
dam, Holland. electrified $50 members
of the congress of arts and science
who gathered at the meeting of the
section of phylogony in convention
hall at st. Louis recently.
His address, which gave for the first
time to the scientific world in detail
the results of q lifetime research
reused immediate interest, and follow
ing the eminent European, Prof
Charles o. Whitman, of the University
Of Chicago, took instant objection tc
his theories. President David Starr
Jordan, the most noted of the defend
ers of Darwinism, and biologists from
all sections of the world participated
In the hot debate which followed.
Prof De Vries does not wholly dis
credit Darwin. On the contrary, he
rather emphasizes some OF the main
essentials OF that renowned scientist,
but in such a manner that if the
thought of the Hollander becomes rec
ognized as basic principle of evOlu-
ton Darwin must necessarily be rcle-
gated to the ranks of those who for
time have occupied the stage Of &C
tion.
In theoretical language the thought
of Prof. De Vries is in this strain:
Natural selection Is only seine and is
no force Of nature. no direct force OF
nature as has so often been asserted.
Artificial selection consists Of two
main principles, called variety testing
and racial improvement. Species as
we see them in nature luctuate within
fixed limits which are not seen to be
tTansgresaed.

which show total of 677 killed and
11,41S injured, a decrease from the
preceding quarter.
These figures do not include cas-
ualties at highway crossings, to tres
passers or persons walking along the

ployes which did not prevent them
from performing their accustomed
service for more than three days in
the aggregate, during the ten days i'm
mediately following the accidents.

his ability to utilize the common things
