The Darwin Centennial.

The Darwin centennial Is now on
and scientists representing 235 unaver-
stiles and learned societies have gath
cred at Cambridge, England, to do
honor to the author Of Origin Of Spe-
cies' If the spirit Of poor Lord Mon
boddo. who anticipated in part the
Darwinian theory" takes cogniza1ice
OF what goes on in this mundane
sphere, he must think that the thoughts
Of men have widened since he was
ridiculed for limiting that man passed
through sinian phase Of develop
ment. Centennials come thick and fast
this year Almost every country has
one. Switzerland by observing the
quadricentennial of Calvin varies the
monotony OF its commemoratfon of a
great man born in 1909, a worthy ex-
ercise, in which France can share,
since Calvin was by birth Frenon.
Quadricentennials are a little dificult
for enthusiasm, since four centuries
are not easily covered by imagination.
Three centuries is quite a span for it,
but when the tercentennial of Ply
mouth comes in 1920, we shall have
been prepared to see the Pilgrim Faith
ers clearly despite the mists of three
hundred years.
