COME OUT OF DATE THEORIES.
To Keep Up with Science not at All
Ca-Y for the Lay Mind.

To Keep Up with Science not at All
Easy for the Lay Mind.
To the lay mind it is very discon-
certing to see the Kaleidoscope
changes that are continually taking
place in all branches of science. We
have no sooner accepted the nebular
hypothesis as one of the ultimate laws
of nature than the geologist on the
one hand and the mathematician on
the other tell us that it will have to
be abandoned.
One generation of naturalists de-
lights us by teaching us to believe
that every coral island is built from
the bottom of the ocean by the accu-
mulated remains of millions of gen.
erations of polyps and the next would
have us believe that they are merely
the caps of oceanic mountains.
For a century the very foundation
on which chemistry was built was the
doctrine that the mass, the total
amount of things in the universe, was
Interchangeable. but now more chemists
doubt it than believe it.
Sixty years ago Adam Smith was
!, thought to have said all but the last
word on economics, and his principle
Of raissez-faire was the holy of holes,
but now laissez-faire has been aban-
doned and only a single one of his
laws remains unchallenged.
So it is in all lines, theories of in
heritance, of chemical affinity. of dis
case, of health, of life, of death-all
come and go so rapidly that We can
scarcely keep pace with the process
sion. When we loo. into any special
lied phase of subject the host of
ever changing theories simply bewild-
ers any but the extreme specialist.
The interesting part of It is that the
man of science is the very one who
is not worried by these shifting sands.
l1e is too busy using the various the
orics to accomSlish things. He seems
to think no more Of discarding one
theory for another than he does OF
taking up larger test tube or beaker
or of adjusting his microscope to a
different power.
