CONGRESSIONAL ACTION.

There are but three remaining
weeks OF the sixtieth congress, and
the work for the remaining days has
been fully planned. Five 'approprla
tion bills remain for enactment by
the house The agricultural and In
dian bills, and the bill providing
money for the diplomatic and con.
sular service. 1t Is expected, VIII be
completed soon. The river and har.
bors bill, 1t is thought. Will be passed
In the next ten days
On the tenth of the month the house
and the senate met TO count the cleo
toral vote, when a formal announce
ment OF the election of Taft as presi-
dent and Sherman as vice president
was made.
The indications arc that Arizona
and New Mexico will be admitted to
statehood this session. but there are
signs of opposition In the senate
which may prevent this conSumma-
ton. The desire Of congress for
extended debate on the postal savings
bank bill. favored by both parties In
their national platforms. probably will
prevent its enactment in this congress.

of the most charming and interesting
books in our English language Ii is
| written with a freeness and viyidness
of description that fascinates one, and
as Darwin in 1t describes not only the
flora and fauna but the countries and
their inhabitants. as well. it gives u
faithful picture of the islands and
countries Of the southern seas.
Darwin was man of great breadth
of knowledge. His treatise upon the
Coral Reefs" has always been the
standard work upon these strange Is
lands. His volumes upon Volcanic
Islands, and Geological Observa-
tons" gave him high rank as a geo.
| logiSt. His extended study and trea-
tise upon barnacles gave to the world
the first real knowledge of this great
species of sea life and Its many famI-
lies. His books upon Fertilization OF
Orchards" and Movements of Climb
Ing Plants revealed clearly a new AMI
fascinating chapter in natural re-
search His last and greatest work
was the treatise upon The Earth
worm subject TO which he gave the
last and best years of his life in pa
tlent study and observation In this
he shows clearly the great work which
the earthworm does in bringing the
loan to the surface and by continually
working in 1t, keeps IL loosened for the
roots of plant life.
Darwin Is best known by his "Orl-
gin of the Species, and Decent of
Man" but mere reading of the IT,
ties of his great works will clearly re-
veal why it is that the well read men
Of science value him for his other
great works
No man of his day rivaled him in
breadth and clearness Of knowledge.
He died April 10. 1882, and by popu.
lar demand was buried In Westmin-
ster Abbey.

rlan church, will talk on Darwin to-
night. He will touch on those features
Of the life work OF this wonderful phi.
losoDher and scientist, which are moro
interesting than any pages from
