WERE ALL MEN OF GENIUS
Darwin Family Probably the mos'
Famous on Record In the Annals
Of England.

Events have called attention once
more to the wonderful Darwin
family, perhaps most fertile In genius
of all the families of England.
DR.. Erasmus Darwin. born In l7Sl'
was a physician. poet, philosopher
and member OF the Royal society.
His son, DR.. Robert Darwin, was .
physician of very high standing and
one of the earliest preachers OF tenn
perance.
Robert Darwin's son was Charles
Darwin, author Of the Origin OF
Species" and unquestionably the
greatest man Of science OF the nine
teenth century.
Charles Darwin left Ave sons. The
Oldest did not become famous. The
second son, however, George Howard
Darwin, who died the other day, was
one of the foremost astronomers In
Europe.
The third son, Francis Darwin. ia
author, physician, and has been presi
dent OF the British association for
the advancement Of science.
The fourth son. Maj. Leonard Oar
win of the Royal engineers, has been
president OF the Royal Geographical
society, and is now the head Of the
Eugenics Education society.
The fifth son. Horace Darwin, ID
president of the Cambridge Scientific
instrument company, and member Of
the advisory committee on military
aeronautics.
Three of these men have sons o.
their own. The name and fame Of
Darwin are not likely to fall.
BY his second wife, old Erasmus
Darwin became the grandfather o.
Francis Cation, founder Of the science
of eugenics. The annals OF British
science would be sadly defaced II thu

CHICAGO GETS NEW BEACH

CHICAGO GETS NEW BEACH
Chicago will have swimming hole
de luxe in operation when the mer-
curry begins its first climb next sum-
mer. The beach commission of the
city council today agreed upon plans
for bathing beach to cost $3.50, 900,
with a frontage of 1913 feet and built
along the north shore, already popu-
Lar. with bathers.
Plans for construction of the new
beach were made after the commits
sion visited Atlantic City and several
other Eastern summer resorts. The
main bath house will be of brick,
stone and concrete. There will be a
pavilion, broad promenade, a kim
dergarten for the youngsters and
nursery where mothers may leave
their babes while they romp in the
lake.
The commission will recommend
that persons not in bathing costume
be barred from the sand and COM
PEELED to remain on the promenade.
A space will be roped off for the ex-
elusive use of women bathers and the
remainder of the beach left open for
mixed bathing. The commission pro-
posed that the city make the nominal
charge of 10 cents for adult bathers
and five cents for children under fifS
teen to make the beach self-sustain-
