Q.-I submit the following query: Can
you d1sprove the Evolution Theory by
ma Iacts ana by arguments based
]. So
Answer.-The Evolution Theory, several
years ago, was quite in vogue among a
certain class of scientists The trend of
thought has swerved around to the op-
pos1te course, until those who retain the
eneeorys are regarded now, by their more
enlightened contemporaries, as being sad
ly antedated or obsolete in their line OF
reasoning Some of the worlds foremost
scientists now declare that there is not a
single shred of evidence to support the
theory of evolution. In five thousand
years of the authentic history of the race
there has never been known a single ir-
stance of one species changing into an
other. No one has ever heard of a eft
becoming dog, or of a monkey becom
ing man. There are people who would
like to fly, but we do not know of any
one growing wings. An intelligent PEG

an alarming rate and that the race is
rapidly deteriorating. Evolution is
theory; devolution is a fact.

Answer.-It is a mistake to think of our
selves as more brainy than our forefath-
ers. The fact that we are living in tie

does not prove, as some assume that We
are more brainy than our forefathers As
matter of fact, statistics show that cur
race in most civilized lands is steadily
deteriorating. Announcement has recent
ly been made that the hat manufacturers
of Great Britain notice that the demand
for smaller hats has been increasing ard
the demand for larger hats decreasing as
shown by their records for wears back

the wonderful precision exercised by its
builders-a precision supposed to have
