POTATO BUG EXPERIMENTS
Four Demonstrations Which Are SAID
to be of Worldwide Importance
Believes Evolution Of Animals in Cen

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-Prof. W. L. Tower,
of the University OF Chicago. who has
been working on a new theory OF eyou-
tion to supplant those OF De Vries AMI
Darwin, brought before the Scientists
of the American Association for the
advancement of Science in the Zoo
hgogy laboratory of the University yes
terday his experiments and conclusions
reached with the potato bug With many
sizes and colors OF leptinotarsa, of which
the potato bug is one form the scientist
made a series of four demonstrations
which were said to be of worldwide
Importance. Prof. Tower has been ex-
perimenting with the potato bug for
over II years, having studied in Mexico
Arizona, New Mexico and in his own
laboratory. He has taken it from one
place to another, transplanted it from
the highlands to the lowlands of Mexico
and has changed its environment in
every particular.
His conclusion is that evolution has
taken wholly by mutation, nor by natu-
Faf election.
II am of the opinion that the evolu-
lion Of the genus leptinotarsa and OF
animals in general has been continuous
and direct, developing new species and
migrating races by direct response to
the conditions of existence"

Gives Oil to Lay the Dust.

The Mercer County Automobile
Club, at Trenton, has voted to give
to the county two carloads of oil for
sprinkling roads so as to suppress the
dust nuisance. A member of the
Mercer County Automobile Club said:
1--WE know that the dust raised by
the automobile is harmful to the
property of farmers. The dust set
ties on vegetation and chokes it. We
know that farmers living along the
lines of straight roads have to close
their windows in sitting hot weather
to avoid being covered with the dust
raised We autoists know that the
dust of the other fellow who passes
us in either direction on the road is
unpleasant. And in consequence Of
this knowledge the Mercer County
Automobile Club voted at its last
meeting to buy two carloads of oil
for use on the roads of this county
the location to be the choice of the
Board of Freeholders and the grade
of oil to be selected by State Road
Commissioner Frederick Gilkyson.
We are not seeking notoriety in this
matter. We only want the county to
accept the oil and apply IT. The au-
tomobilists are not hogs, and this lit
tie action would show that they are
not" State Road Commissioner Gill
kyson was much gratified over the
gift. Professor John e. Gill, secre-
tary of the State Association of Aus
tomobilists, said that similar action
had been agitated in the organiza-
ton He favored the plan of the

that other county clubs should follow

Says Railroad is Unsafe.

Richard v. Lindabury, of Ber-
nardsville, has sent remonstrance
to the Lackawanna Railroad against
what he characterizes as the de
moralized conditions" existing on the
Passaic and Delaware branch of the
road His complaint was called forth
by the derailment of a passenger
train near Far Hills and the wreck
ing of an express train near Milling
ton. Mr. Lindabury was somewhat
injured in the wreck Of the express.
That no one was killed. Mr.. Linda
bury says, was miraculous. In the
mishap near Wilmington improper
sinking of the rails was held respon-
sible by the State Railroad Commits
sion for the derailing of the train.
