NEW EVOLUTION THEORY.
Scientist Who Disputes Darwin Idea
Tells of Important Discoveries
in Plant Life.

Professor Hugo Ge Vries, director OF
the Botanical Gardens, Amsterdam,
and scientist who disputes Darwin 5
theory of the origin OF species" ex-
planned his views at length at the New
York Botanical Garoen recently.
Prof. De Vries differs with Darwin in
asserting that a new species CT plant
may be seen to develop at once from the
parent plant. while Darwin's theory de-
mands many generations, marked by in
Vulnerable minor differences and years
of time:
Prof. De ties bases his conclusions
upon actual experiment, and although
his earlier Investigations covered VIDE
field his best and most conclusive results
were obtained through careful culture
and observation of the evening prim-
rose. Twelve new species derived from
the original varieties were described
at length by Prof De Vries, and their
differences were further illustrated by
colored plates and lantern plides.
DR. De Vries's discoveries have led
to the establishment of laboratory at
Cold Spring Harbor, where the investi-
CATION of evolution in both the plant and
animal kingdoms will be conducted for
at least half century at the expense
of the Carnegie institution. Experiments
conducted by DR.. D. T. MacDoueal at the
New York Botanical Garden since Prof
De Vries presented the results Of his
researches to the world of science have
already confirmed several important
features of DR.. De Vries's discoveries.

REEVES; THEN DIES AGAIN
After Being Pronounced Dead Man
Comes to Life, Creates Ter
ror and Expires.

Given up by physician as dead, Frank
Mccormick, of Gutenberg, N. Y, re-
turned to life just as an undertaken called
to embalm his body. Then, after order
ing the undertaken away, Mccormick
was seized with another attack of the
ailment which had first Frustrated him,
and died within a few minutes.
Wordwas again sent to the undertaken,
who lives in New York, but he refused
to respond.
Mccormick had been i'll several days
with severe attack of dysentery A
doctor who was summoned worked over
him for several hours, and then. turning
to those about the mans bedside, said
that Mccormick was dead
A death watch was set beside McCor-
mick's bed. The men at the bedside had
already begun their vigil when the sup
posed dead man suddenly moved and
groaned. The watchers fed and sum-
moned the physician, but while they were
waiting for him the undertaken arrived.
He insisted upon seeing Mccormick, and
when he went into the room the man who
had come back to life murmured that he
didn't want to be disturbed. Upon hear
ing this the undertaken promptly fed.
Then the doctor arrived. Mccormick
again lapsed into Inconsistencies, and
the physician, after applying every test
known to his profession, declared that no
trace Of life remained.
