We feed our orchards with NITROGEN. I
to color and flavor the fruit eli !
mate, soil, water AMI many other
things tend to affect changes i'm life, |
and i'm the higher animal forms there
are chemical changes wrought in the
blood 10y the mental states and there
fo"e certain notifications Of tissue.
Thus biology teaches that the tom
d7nCN is more and more toward
greater variation, and therefore the
multiplication of tie species.
Botany.
Botany teaches that the first AMI
lowest forms of plant life are uni
cellular, they are not organized. have
no sex qualities. and multiply by di- |
vision Among them arc sea weeds, |
toad stools, mushrooms and mold.
When cells unite they form cellular
tissue. When they become organized
they create organs with special funC-
tons as when the roots of plant
suck the food substance from the
Sarth. tho leaves breath In and ex-
hale the air, and the trunk is com
mon carrier for the exchange of sub
stances
Zoology is the science of animal
life. The first and oldest forms are
unicellular. have no sex qualities, and
multiply by division. Some of these
are rizopoda, forminfora, heiozo. in
tisora, sporozora. The next are many
celled animal forms, called metazoa,
or sponges The next highest are
Jelly fish. The net are cray fish with
sensory organs. Then come cock
reaches. butterflies. bees. ants and
grass hoppers. Next snails. muscles
and octipi. Next animals with a.
spinal calumn; next mammals; and
last Of all man, the youngest of ma
lures productions.
Some connecting links between the
species are interesting. Frogs, tur
ties. crcCodyles and salananders are
smphihians and can live either in or
out Of the water. Bats. popCupines.
hedge hogs. flying serpents and fly
ing squirrels are connecting links be-
tween beasts and birds. Anthropod
apes are connecting links between
man and the lower animals.
Physiology.
This branch OF science teaches that
produced nv certain changes in the
environment and that organs are de-
velopcd by use, and atrophicd by dis
use. Wild cattle and sheep have i'm
mense horns. that grow smaller under
domesticaton Wild hogs have i'm
mensc tusks and noses. that are mod
fled by changes of the environment.
Fish that grow in caves have rudi-
mcntalY eyes. but no vision. Pcl<in
ducks, ostrich and Tulusc geese have
wings but do not fly. Certain organs
of tho human body, such as the yer
inform appendix, are cited as cN-
. amplcs,

The value of cmbryoloEY MS Il
proof Of evolution lies largely III the
, fact that life in the womb begins
! with a germ, surrounded by a proto-
| plasmiC cell, and that this cell is not
different from that of the lower forms
J OF animal life. from the lowest to the
highest. 1t is believed therefore that
in its growth it reproduces the his
| tory OF the race. Something ana
Joyous to this is seen In the growth
| Of the frog. At first IT Is proto-
I pIasmic substance. called spawn,
| Then egg forms appear Later still
| a tadp6le, with gils. fins and tail;
and last frog, that can live In or
out OF the water.
fsytt6losy.
Psychology shows that the first
movements OF life af6 automatic
such as tho heart beats. the pulse
throbs, circulation. digestion and
muscular expansion and contraction
in breathing.
The next are instructive, as when
the babe nurses from the breast OF
| its mother. The next are impulsive,
as when sudden sounds Brighten or
| spectacular shows fascinate. Later
| the power OF speech IL acquired, and
| a brain faculty of speech developed.
Later reason and then the affections,
which encom pass: first the family,
| then the circle of friends; then love
of country or patriotism, and last Of
/ all, tho love of mankind az belonging
| to one brotherhood.
Astronomy.
Astronomers, by the aid of the tel
esCope, can see the process of world
building, now going on. every par
| ticle of matter in the universe at
| tracts every other particle, with a
| force directly as the masses, and in
| versely as the square of the dis
lance" SO there are places where
| masses are combining, consolidating
| and forming spheres that will in time
| be as habtable as our earth.
AnthrOpoIOgy.
Anthropology is the science OF man.
| It teaches that There are bones Of
| man, and implements OF human man
ufacture in the Post Glacial drift. or
| the Quarternary period. and that
| these bones could not have been de-
posted les, than 100000 years ago.
| 1t teaches that man became self
conscious about 10000 years ago;
| that is, he began to distinguish be-
tween his own subjective nature and
! objective things; to take cognizance
of his own thoughts, emotions and
| feelings as distinguished from the
things about him. 1t teaches that
man began about 5000 years ago to
| become God conscious, or conscious
of a power above him, on whom he
must depend, that about that time he
| began to develop conscience. or n
/ moral sense. bv means OF which he
| could distinguish the moral quality
| of action; or good frOm evil 1t
teaches that the Egyptians ANA prob
ably the Chinese and Chaldcans, had
| IA comparatively high state Of civili-
zation 5000 years ago, while Enoch,
| the grandson OF Adam, was living.
1t teaches that about 5000 years ago
man began to believe in the tmmor-
taity Of his race, and the existence
of the spirits OF the departed. 1t
