England.

Probably Charles Darwin has con
tributed more TO modern science thah
any other one man. His best. known
books. the "Origin of the Species ana
the descent OF Man. have probaby
cleared up more mysteries Than any
other such works
How his education and his work Leu
him up to these subjects is most IN
teres,ing. He studied at Cambridge
with the idea OF becoming clergy
man. after having tried and hhan-
doned the study OF medicine, In 1881
he went round the world with party
OF scientists and naturalists on a sur
veying expedition that lasted hNe
years. His studies and observations
OF the varying types OF animals dur-
ing this trip started him reiiecthnE
upon the effect OF living conditions
on animals, and human beings as well.
Little by little, by research and study
and reflection. he worked out his mas
terpiece, the origin OF Species pub
llshed when he was so years old The
entire edition OF ,250 copies was ex-
hausted the day II was put on sale
40 gAat was the interest In this new
work VII the subject of evolution.
Darwin was never very strong. The
immense amount OF patient, painsthk-
ing work he did was due largely 10
the help and sympathy OF his wife.
His days went according 20 liked
schedule, work being frequently
broken into by rest and exercise. hls
working hours were really few, but
he was able "a concentrate, So that
he accomplished lot while he was
working.
He was buried In Westminster D.

every time It barks he has all the
pleasure OF the original inventor Of
the automobile
Now and then he gets n couple ot
miles from town and az he lies under
his car at the roadside, trying to per
suade II back TO life, other Automo-
bilists passing In their seven pa ssen-

about autOmobiling,
There Is some excitement about

owners Of later day cars do not know
anything about. II is something like
fishing II is no fun to get nibble
unless you have sat on the bank for
a couple Of hours Then nibble is
