strangely, both forms have survived.
Why did not selection act as it is sup
posed to and call off the parent species
in the process of evolving the newer
type?
It was the consideration OF this
question that led the Dutch botanist.

mutation theory. De Vries noticed

believes to be the beginning of a new

DIR. Macdougal has already obtained
some very remarkable results In thor
oughly original line OF Investigation.
He has tried the experiment OF inject
ing weak solutions OF various chemi-
Gals in the ovary Of a flower called
raimannia odorata just before the
flower opened. The flower was then
covered with bag of oiled paper to
keep out insects or floating pollen OF
other plants From the seeds OF a
flower thus treated he obtained a num-
ber of individuals which differed very
materially from the parent. These new
types have bred true and they are the
first species ever produced with the aid
OF artificial means. The same expert
ment was tried with the common even
ing primrose, and this also gave rise
to q new species To explain how
such conditions could arise IN nature
Mr.. Macdougal suggests that the sting
OF an insect might introduce fluids
which would affect the ovules IN such
a way as to produce mutant. The re-
suit might also be obtained by the ac-
cidentaI entrance of pollen from a plant
Of a different genus. The pollen might
be carried by the wind or BY bees and
other insects into the open flower.
Owing to the great difference in the
two plants hybrid would not be
formed. but the effect OF foreign pollen

or to develop highly intellectual peo

present such speculations are idle.
What we have learned Is that new
species do come from mutants, and that
mutants can be originated by chemical
agencies whether the species could
be produced by natural selection with
out the origin OF the sport. as Darwin
claims we cannot definitely state. for
Darwin,s theory requires tens OF thou
sands of years for the formation OF a
single species. whereas mans life Is but
four score years and ten However. the
evidences we do have seem to be
against Darwin's teachings. and TO re-
turn to our original question OF the
owl and the egg. recent Investigations
seem TO prove that the egg came first:
for it must have been mutant OF some
other species of bird which was the
prototype or the present owl

harmony Darwin's theory required
ages upon ages for the life OF this
world to have developed from the orig
inal germ to it's present multitude OF
species. while De Vries accounts for
the species in a much shorter period.
1t may seem odd that a species can
descend from single individual, par
ticularly in animal life. which requires
the union of two individuals to produce
offspring. One would think that II the
sport should breed with the members
of the species from which Il sprang
the offspring would be blend Of the
old characters with the new. so that
the new character would not be pre-
served in pure form. Though this f.

Dr. w. z. Castle OF Harvard has
experimented with guinea pigs and
rabbits. He finds that the white coated
guinea pig is dominant over the pure
black coat; that the black. in turn. is
dominant over the yellow, and that the
yellow is dominant over the white. A
rough coat is dominant over a smooth
one, and a short coat over a long one
We thus understand how a species
may be established when once a sport
has been produced But we have not as
yet discovered the real origin of the
species.
