SPECULATION AND INSURANCE.

Control of financial institutions was
the first step into Wall Street specu-
lation; alliances with the great bank
ing houses and various powerful cor
porations were the second. 1t was
proper for the companies to call bank
ers and other men of affairs into their
directorates, where they could act In
general advisory capacity; but 1t
was highly improper for such direct
ors to make the companies generally
useful to themselves in the corpor-
ate or private enterprises with which
they were connected Especially un-
fortunate was it for some of these
gentlemen to serve on important COM
mittees that had to deal with invest
ments and other matters in which
they were personally interested. Cor
poration ethics are still in rudimen-
tary stage of development in the
United States, and the duties and
responsibilities of directors are but
dimly apprehended yet we already
had enough dearly-bought experience
to warn us of the dangers of the sit

SON OF EvoLUTloNIsT DARWIN.
Combats Some of the Claims of His
Fathers Theory.

Public Opinion--George Darwin,
son OF the evolutionist, read paper
at recent meeting of the British asso-
citation at Cape Town, South Africa.
which attracted considerable attention.
1t has not, however, been generally
noticed that in the course of this
paper ideas were expressed which
placed the writer among those who
combat the evolutionary theory, first
given definite form by his father. The
paper is discussed in recent issue of
the Rivista dItalia of Rome by Gut
seppe de Stefano:-
Among the new views expressed by
George Darwin, one is a limitation OF
the theory Of his illustrious father.
and In addition the conclusions of
George Darwin not only mean notable
notifications in the general concept
which the majority of naturalists have
mad up TO the present time in refer
ence to the transformations of the
animal world, but they also allow us
to foretell in measure the future of
man. But limiting our view merely 10
the animal world, we may assert
without fear OF being mistaken that
the transformation of the different or.
ganic forms may not only be the
work. OF slow and constant adaptiun.
but also the result of sudden changes
in the formation or extinction of A
new species.
This question ] think is fully an

fossils we have 1t is possible TO show
that many specs have been statonary

convinced that the law of modification

slow, and therefore, according to the
different species and animal types.

ELEVATOR RED TAPE.
AS 1t Binds in Washington, and An
noys With Its Binding.

Washington Correspondence of New
York Sun.-The tribulations of the
conductors on the elevators in the
state, war and navy building are
many. There is as much etiquette
on one of these cars on a busy day
as one would find at one of the big
dinners at the white house.
The approach of the secretary of
state, OF war, or of the navy, in the
direction of one of these lifts" is
signalled by peculiar clapping of the
hands by all the messengers or veter-
ans who guard the approaches to the
building.
So, at the sound of three bells
on the push button Ca secretary CALI.
no matter who is on the elevator, be
he an admiral or a general, the lever
is reversed, down or up it goes, as the
indicator reads, and the secretary is
carried at once to the floor OF his
destination, for there is no stopping
at the floors to take on or let off any
body else.
Now comes the time when the keen
discretion of the conductor-his re-
me- nbrance of faces and his knowI.
,dge OF ranks of army and navy Off
GERS and their precedence-is brought
into play.
For instance-on the day of the
funeral of General Schofield. the
building was alive with officers in full
dress uniform ON their way to st.
Johns church to attend the ceremon-
les. A major of cavalry from Fort
Myer, Va, having business at the
ouartermaster's department, was on
the elevator and was being shot up
to the third floor, when three bells
announced the secretary of war at
the ground floor. Down went the ele-
vator. The secretary and the major
saluted, and before the salutation
was over two bells" rang, meaning
that an officer of high rank wished to
ride in a jifiy.
The secretary, of course, was at.
and was first ushered out at the sec.
ond floor. Then up flew the elevator
to the fourth floor, to answer the
two bells" to take on a brigadieI
general who desired to descend to the
street floor. More saluting by the
major. Down shot the elevator. The
brigadier departed. and the major,
who had been carried past his destin-
alton twice, now breathed sigh OF
relief, but just then two bells" rang
again on the second floor, and this
time the chief of staff, with the rank
of lieutenant general, got aboard, and
down the major went again, salute
and all
After the chief of staff went, the
ever polite conductor, turning to the
Junior officer, and observing his rank
and insignia, said, Major, what floor,
please?"
"The third, please" replied the be-
lated officer, 'but the next time
want it, I'll walk"
