Illuminating Gas.

In the Philosophical Transactions
Of the ROYAL Society OF London for
1889 Is printed q letter, written in
1921. IN which the Rev. John Clay
tor details a series Of experiments
he made in distilling coal in re-
tort, showing not only that he had
observed TIE inhammable gases
evolved, but that he had collected
and stored them for some time in
bladders. In 1857 Lord Dundonald
made Gas from coal, with which he
lighted the hall Of Culross abbey
In 1892 Robert Murdoch began the
experiments which resulted in the
establishment Of coal gas as an illu-
minating agent. In 1897 he public
" showed the system he had ma
tured, and in 1913, being employed
in the factory of Boulton & Watt.
Birmingham, he fitted up an appa-
ratus for the manufacture of gas
in that establishment. with which
IL was lighted. This was the first
use Of Illuminating gas except BY
way Of experiment.

Strong Criticism from Fair Secretary Of
the Buckeye Secular Union of Gold
win Smiths Ideas on Evolution.
(By LOU LAWRENCE.)


l, has been my good fortune to discover
copy OIL Goldwins letter ON the 'IgnOr
ance of Skepucism, which appeared in
the New York Sun of Sunday, Sept. goth.
l am delighted with the letter and with the
impartial attitude of the Sun on this sub
ject. But while | admire the article and
agree with most of the thought contained
therein, there are some points to which
l would like to call the attention of our
Materialistic brethren. While considera
ton of space must limit my quotations
rom the letter in question, l shall aim
to give enough to make my comments in
telligible to those of your readers who
have not had the opportunity Of its Pc
rusal.
Mr.. Smith writes: Free will surely we
unquestionably have" and closes the para
graph with rs it possible to explain moral
repentance without assuming the freedom
of the will?"
Why moral repentance?" What Is re-
pentance but regret for, of fear of, evil
consequences, coupled with newly directed
activities? In some dim sort OF way, the
dog regrets attacking the man with club
and retrains from a repetition Of the act
Is that moral repentance?" The man with
the headache regrets last nights debauch
and confines himself to coffee-at least
until the recollection of the headache be-
comes too dim to damn the current of his
thirst or the Establishments of the man
with bottle. Is that moral repentance?
The non-religious person is worked into
condition of dread concerning some threat
ened punishment and proceeds to identi-
fly himself with the church. Is that moral
repentance? In each and every case the
act has material foundation, or motive"
The conduct of the dog would be called
physical fear, while that of the man may be
called moral repentance" but the cause
behind each effect is dread of suffering, Of
which we have no conception aside from
organized material being.
Conscience is the effect upon individual
happiness which is produced by individual
conduct. Consciousness of the injury
zone to our moral nature" is part of the
unhappiness caused by what Is termed evil
conduct; and the whole web of cause and
effect ends in what is termed moral re-

consciousness Is material. Without organ

without matter there can be no organiza-

known has long ago been proved to be
material Should anyone discover the i'm

strate it.
To admit that freedom of the will ex-
lists apart from the fundamental princi-
pies of Material Evolution is to admit the
supernatural; and if the supernatural can
put in an appearance at one point of the
Cosmos, it can do SO at another. Thus we
would have excuse for him who, when he
encounters difficult problem, attributes it
to the supernatural instead OF searching
the natural to discover its source.
Evolution is great discovery. But
Evolution cannot have evolved ITSELF"
Here Mr.. Smith speaks of Evolution as an
actual entity instead of as a mere state
ment, or series of statements that cosmic
energy operates regularly along certain
lines and according to certain fundamental
principles.
Has any animal given the slightest sign
OF self-improvement or tendency to pro-
gress?" Certainly. Man Is an animal. and
he is credited with display of these quail
tiles. Tendency to progress is but the
effort of the individual and society to har-
monize themselves and their environment.
the effect of which effort is transmitted to
the offspring by heredity and example.
Speaking of mans aesthetic nature, Mr.
Smith asks If his sense of beauty and mel
ody can be the offspring of material evo-
lution?" and continues that "the basis of
these gifts, no doubt, is physical" When
he has made this admission, he has ad-
mitted all that is necessary to prove these
senses to be of material evolution. Given
the simplest rudiments of song, sexual Sc
lection parental teaching and public rival
ry, and the evolution of musical taste and
ability Is but matter of time. AS the fine
tenor Of today has an easy passport to the
