WERE ALL MEN OF GENIUS
Darwin Family Probably the MOST
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 1871,
was a physician, poet, philosopher,
and member of the Royal society.
His son, DR.. Robert Darwin, was a
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 five 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, is
author, physician, and has been presi-
dent of the British association for
the advancement of science.
The fourth son, Mai. 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, is
president of the Cambridge Scientific
Instrument company, and member OF
the advisory committee on military
aeronautics.
Three of these men have sons of
their own. The name and fame of
Darwin are not likely to fail.
BY his second wife, old Erasmus
Darwin became the grandfather OF
Francis Cation, founder of the science
of eugenics. The annals of British
science would be sadly defaced II the
work OF the Darwin breed were lost

over the room.

and the mayor re-echoed his shouts.
They heard answering cries from the
lawn beneath. Then steps came
quickly along the corridor, and the
door flew open again, disclosing two
disheveled and painting antagonists

John Moore grinned the harder as
he strobe to the window and again
looked out. Miss Jones was econom-
ical in the common utilities of her
lonely life. She had not looked to the
esthetic in clothing her pets, but to
their comfort. Some of the chickens
were robed in red flannel, others in
part of an old quilt. Some of the over
coats had ruffles at the neck, others
had bands, giving a sort of "knicker-
booker" effect. Altogether the result
was incongruous and comical. John
Moore fancied he saw something spec
tacular in 1t all.
