Professor Haeckel's Birthday.

The scientists of Europe and America are
preparing to celebrate Professor Ernest Haeckk-
ELS eightieth birthday which occurs next Mon
day. Next to Sir Oliver Lodge, this great Ger
man is probably the most widely known scientist
now living. For more than half century he has
toed INCREASINGLY at his Investigations in BIZ
ology; and biology-which is the science that
deals with living plants and anmals-has been
made much richer by his efforts. But it is not
TO his discoveries in biology that Professor
Haeckels fame is due. He has his world
wide popularity through his tireless and vigorous
preaching of the doctrine of monism.
Some persons believe that there are two kinds
Of words-natural and supernatural, and that
while natural law reigns over the former, it does
not hold good in the latter. Monsm is the doc
trne that nature is all that exists and that natur-
al law reigns everywhere.
Until about five hundred years ago, almost
everybody believed that the stars were moved
about by living angels or spirits AS it is impos-
sible to tell just what living creature is going
to do next, no one dreamed that science of the
stars could be possible Men supposed in their
child-ike way the stars wandered about accord
ing to their will. This is still notion among
almost all Asiatic and African people.
About five hundred years ago, Polish monk
raned Coperncus and after him Englishman
named Sir Isaac Newton came along and proved
to us that the pathway of the stars is fixed and
that they have no more choice as to which way
they shall move than wheel has in machine
but just ball will roll in the exact direction
in which it has been pushed so do the stars move
according to that orderly law which we call gravi
tatiOn.
Newton and Copernicus were called atheists
and lunatics but after years of controversy peo-
pie in civilized countries to accept their doc
trine and today teach astronomy to our boys
and girls in school. But while men and women
accepted the doctrine that the stars are under
the reign of law they refused to believe that this
was the case in the world of living things. of
plants and animals. These creatures they SUD-
posed to live and moved according to their own
sweet will
But what Newton did for the stars, an.
other great Englishman did in the realm of
living things-Charles Darwin The struggle
over the theory of evolution is so recent that
many of our readers can remember it. But that
doctrine which holds that all living creatures are
under the reign of law and which we name evolu-
ton is accepted by the great majority of edu-
Gated people and by all scientists and scholars
with scarcely exception.
But even after accepting the doctrine that liv-
ing creatures are under the reign of law, some
They could not believe that his mind and charac-
ter were part of the orderly universe in which
the stars and plants were supposed to live Even

who died but recently and who helped Charles
