WALLACES LAST MESSAGE WAS: WORLD IS NOT GROWING BETTER.

Alfred Russel Wallace. who died last November, would have passed his ninety-frst milestone to-day The ..Grand old Man of Science who was ffse co-discoverer with Darwin of the laws of natural selection, did not take q very hopeful view of the supposed -proeress', of humanity. Indeed, in what was almost his last message to his fellosvmen. he asserted that the world was little if any better to-day than it was five thousand years ego. He declared:
 ~Recently I have been medttating upon the conditions of human pro- gress, and I have taken g general survey of all history. from those won aerfuI new discoveries in Egypt go- ing back seven years, to the present day. have come to the general con clusfon that there has been no ad- vance. either in intellect or in morals. from the days Of tie earliest Hgyp- ffans and Syrians down to the keel laying Of the latest drea Thought Tnrotaeh all those thousands Of years morals and intellect have been sta tionary. There has been, of course an immense accumulation of knowl- edge. but for all that we are no clev- erer than the ancients- If Newton ana Darwin had been born in the times of the Egyptions they could not have dome more than the Egyptians did: the builders of the Pyramids were every whit as good mathemati- clans as Newton. And the average of mankind will remain the same until natural selection steps in to raise it.
 NOW, [ have lived nearly 9 hun ared years. During that time what can be said Of our social environ nnent what progress has been made? In every detail of that progresss throughout all the greet p1ercantlie and manufacturing opefations, there has been nothing but the most abo1n- inable vice going or--every kind of cruelty to the poor and to children, There exist in our midst horrors that were never known before. and dread full diseases that were never known before. stiIl. nothing is ever done. And therefore declare that from top to bottom our whole social environ nent Is rotten. full of vice, and every thing that is bad; and until selectian comes In and a thorough wedding out takes place. the rottenness and the vice and the badness will continue The most vital thing Of all is to gel rid of the horrible, grinding poverty which is stalking the country like a grfsly specter.
