When dawn is red over The Caliior-

heavy clouds of smoke and falls to az

heavy as a church and complicated as
a watch, is a mechanical marvel
Before goes a numbering engine with
a heavy stack, and a fre-box that
vomits,out dense flames from a hot
petroleum fire. Behind, it is all levers
and big pillars andscurious devices Of
steel. 1t works With the complex &C
curacy of a human being. The sickle
buzzes, and the heads from a twenty
foot swath fall smoothly on a canvass
bed. You catch glimpses of them
rushing here and there through the
complex mechanism; and presently a
laborer- who has been very busy with
some sacks, jerks down a lever,
Bump out tumble four fat bags Of
wheat. Al the other end, a man with
a shovel works like mad, clearing away
a pile of chaff and short crumpled
straw. This is all that the ignorant
observer sees; only the engineer can
tell you how the grain, which once
stood in proud array a minute before,
is now ready for mill-a months work

MIR. Wilson'S Letter

EDITOR INTELLIGENCFR In your

the law of the survival of the fttest
is a comfortable doctrine. The phrase
'survival of the ittest" seems to me a
most unfortunately chosen one. The
true use Of science is mat Of populsriz.
ing it, not combining it to "the aristoc-
racY of those who know. Out Of a
hundred who hear the phrase, ninety
think it means that the "fttest" are
the highest, the most intelligent, the
most moral, the best, the white race
as compared to the other races. 1t
means nothing OF the kind. 1t mea
that the survivors will be those best
fitted for the conditions, to their own
environment. A man brought a fine,
heavy Kentucky bull, worth a great
price, to Wyoming and turned HIM
on the range and 10 a week a slim,
gaunt Texas bull that was not worth
shooting had killed him. Somebody
used this in disproof of the law, sup
posing the best bull from the owners
