effort to do some good. What a
pity Darwin were not alive to dis

Origin of Species and the Descent
of Man. In the first volume he
didn't haye a chance at this insect
for it had never been discovered,
and as for the second volume, the
Descent of MAXWELL, the title
might apply to new theory, for
the type of man spoken of above
has been descending ever since
Darwin wrote the book.
A man who never tries to help
out in public spirited work never
can see that any good is being ac-
complished.
