The new force has no counterpart in this coun-
try, unless IT be in a measure the Texas Rang
ers and the Northwest Mounted Police. which
are organized for semi-military frontier work: /:
but precedents for such body are many in
Europe. Pennsylvania has about eight thousand
coal and iron police, and it is the outcry of the
labor unions against these which has led 10 the
new organization. The coal and iron police
were paid by the corporations whose property
they were set 10 protect, and though they were
Crpointed hy the stale their relations 10 the
property owners made them peculiarly ohnox-
ioUs 10 the miners though The source of their
pay may have been mostly a pretext and any
body who enforced order about the coal mines
might have been equally hated. At any rate
the new force is 10 take the place of the pri-
rately paid police. far as possible, but It will
do SO I'm the immediate future only In a small
measure, for in consists of only two hundred

NOT SCANDALOUs AT ALL.

Director Walcott's reply to the charges re-
Gently made against the Geological Survey
meets them squarely and satisfactorily. He
was aware that some of his employees held stock
In a newspaper devoted to mining interests. but
he sees no legitimate objection TO their doing
so. Neither does any other right minded per-
son. Again, members of his staff did supply
the periodical i'm question with occasional arti-
cles. This was done. however, with his knowl-
edge and approval, the material thus furnished
merely presenting in popular language facts
which had previously been embodied in techni-
cal bulletins and reports of the bureau. Any
one else was at liberty TO do the same thing.
Certainly the practice was not an abuse.
Obviously, the only way in which the public
or the government could be wronged would be
by the advance use of data that had not been
officially promulgated. An offence of that sort
would on a small scale parallel the one COM
mitted in the statistical service of the Agricult-
ural Department. Until specific instances are
cited it will be safe to assume that nothing OF
the kind occurred. 1t is evident that in order
TO create a sensation certain newsmongers i'll

NAVAL RESULTS OF THE WAP

l" summarize with substantial accuracy the re-
SUITS OF The war upon the naval forces of the
pelilgerent powers. Excluding tOrpedo hoats
and other small fry and reckoning only battle
ships, cruisers and gunboats, Russia took into
the war 50 vessels, of 41oo24 TONS and lamar
'G' of 294,ls6 tons. Should the war end now
and the interned Russian ships be allotted 10
Japan, Russia would come out of it with only
lo shlps' of t3.636 tons, while Japan would have
a.. OF $1,000 tons. In other words. Russia
would have lost 73 vessels. of 346 5Ss TONS
while Japan would have made a net gain of .
and of 6S.323 tons. How this amazing and
unique result has been attained is worthy of a
moments notice.
The vessels sunk I'm the war I'm hattie nv

the war the Russian feet was nearly 10 per
cent stronger than the japanese in numbers
and nearly 80 per cent stronger in tonnage the
japanese feet is now $50 per cent the stronger
in numbers and 442 per cent the stronger in

been added TO her merchant marine, unless pur-
chased by their former owners. In all the war
she has not sunk or destroyed single non-eom-
batant vessel Russia, on the other hand, capt
ured only few, but destroyed most of the neu-
tral and non-combatant vessels which she over
hauled as contraband, that there has been
no gain but considerable net loss to her mer-
camille as well as to her military marine. We
do not know that Japan is bound TO take these
things into consideration in settling the accounts
of the war. but if she should the value of the
warships she has taken from Russia would be
an appreciable item toward reimbursement"
Reckoning captured and raised and repaired
ships at only half their original cost, the four
teen large vessels mentioned above would be
valued at nearly S2jO00.000. not TO mention the
forty or fifty smaller craft. In any case. in

TWOFOLD EVOLUTION.

President Darwin's address before the British
Association for the Advancement OF science d.
Cane Town on Tuesday evening, was nlaIAeu
nv good taste and was full OF suSSestioh'
Progress from the simple and elementary 10
the complex and highly organized mas taken
DIace both in the animate and lnahiIhate ere
ations As an astronomer the speaker has had
occasion 10 study principally the phehoinehoi
in tho latter field. He has had reason TO note
the advance from primeval chaos the heDula'
10 the earth as we know it. Mans acqualht-
ance with its form constituents and history is
still limited but it is possible TO recognize
some of the important changes which nave
taken place since its origin. A crust has been
formed by cooling. some of the elements have
been separated from the others. the surface OF
the globe has been divided into ocean and
continent and an infinite variety of topography
has resulted from the sculpture of the weather
for countless ages. Professor Darwin could
hardly fail spontaneously to observe that the
two nrocesses of evolution. of life and of mat
ter had many points in common and perceive
that i'm one there might be helpful guides TO
the student of the other.
The most original part of the teachings Of
the speakers father was not the theory OF
evolution, but that of natural selection. Deve-
opment from low forms TO high ones and the
divergence of one species from another through
variation having been recognized. the ques-
ton arose, what influence served to perpetuate
some groups of plants and animals and
tinguish others. Charles Darwin and Alfred
Russell Wallace almost simultaneously hit on
the same theory-the doctrine happily desig-
mated by Spencer as The survival of the
httest" Not being a biologist, Professor
George Darwin hardly feels competent TO say
how far a modification OF that hypothesis has
become necessary. Still. even in saying So he
shows that he is aware of the controversies
which have been waged over the matter, and
which have not yet been finally adjusted He
thinks, however, that in certain ways natural
selection may have operated In the evolution
of the material universe. When the full text
OF his address is available il will be interesting
TO see how he applies the theory TO astronomy
and geology.
Whatever were the influences which gave
special direction TO development of suns and
planets and TO the matter composing them. of
