DISCOVERIES OF ABBOT MENDEL

which they were first announced, and
Mendels name was as unknown as his
work. In 1900, however, three Dutch
botanists independently rediscovered
the results hidden for so long a pc
riod, which were so profoundly to in
fiuence our views of heredity. Men
dePs conclusions have been amply
vindicated by the results of modern
research, and though they have been
modified in detail, as must happen
when the implications of scientific dis
covery are subjected to minute anal
ysis, they will ever form the basis for
a theory of heredity. Biologists have
speculated as to the eventual fate OF
the theory of evolution if Menders

the scientific world at the time when
he first announced his results to the
scientific academy at Bruenn in Mo-
raVia.

For us Catholics, however, MendePs
work has still deeper significance
His life is an eloquent refutation of
the old charge that science and reli-
gion must be in irreconcilable oppo-
sition. Faithful to scrupulosity as we
know him to have been to his duties
as an Augustinian monk, loyal to self
forgetful exactness to his duties as a
priest, unremitting in his watchful
care over his community as Abbot
Mendel still found time to devote his
energies to one of the most painstak-
ing researches ever undertaken in BIZ
Ology. His thorough mastery of the
experimental method, his caution in
drawing conclusions from experiment
tai data, his reserve in announcing
| what he surely must have realized to
be an epOch-making discovery, all
these make his work stand out even
today as an example which the mod
ern scientist would do well to study
and initiate. And yet he never lost
| sight OF the deeper, underlying mean
ing OF it all. He never forgot that
| though he was studying protoplasm,
| there is One above protoplasm whose
marvellous creation bears the secrets
| of His Omnipotence; that the unlock
| ing of a secret of nature is but the
| unlocking of another secret of Gods
great heart. Mendel, to us, means that
the life of Catholic, the life of even
| the monk and the priest, is not oppos-
ed to the life of the scientist.
Born in Silesia.
Abbot Mendel, born at Heinzendorf
: in Silesia. entered the Augustinian Or
der in 1S43, and died at Bruenn on
January 6, 1884. The chief reason for
his theory remaining unnoticed so
long was his inability to continue his
research after he had been elected
Abbot of his monastery. And while
other scientists hurried to popularize
illfounded theories, this serious-mind.
ed man held back his discoveries anx-
ious to still further substantiate, by
experiments, his theory of hybridiza-

THE sOLACE OF POETRY.

The man who appreciates not
real poetry lacks one of the finest
consultations of life. His esthetic
sense must be dulled, indeed, if he
fails to be moved by the most
beautiful thoughts of the most

tellect is so fashioned that it con-
templates with pleasure not only
the temple of Reason but the en-
bellishments thereof; it loves not
only the stately walls and the
splendid facade but every finely
chiseled line and stroke of master
brush that adorns this edifce.

THE POWER OF LOVE.

The sad-faced Redeemer seated
on the hill overlooking the city of
Jerusalem is the most powerful
figure of love known to human
kind. 1t is the apotheosis of the
virtue which flashes upon humani-
ty from the face of God. Love, af-
lection for ones kind, be it kim
dred, race or country. yea, even
enemies, is Man s answer to the
divine command, Love your neigh
Dor as yourself.
To the thinking mind, it is we'll
nigh incompfehensible how or
why men should hate their kind.
Hate originated in the fallen an
gel; it begot the quintessence of
diabolical aversion through Sa-
tan's envy Of the Godhead. 1t
coursed through the being of the
angelic reprobate and spilled its
venom upon the earth. Sired in
hell, begotten Of a demon, Hate
has rested as the primeval curse
upon the sons of men. Flowing in
fiery stream like putrid lava, it
has inundated the whole human
family. Like filthy pitch, it de,
files and destroys every vestige OF
love in the human heart.
Love, on the contrary, is the
white milk of heavenly nourish-
ment that cleanses and purifies
strengthens and invigorates
whomsoever it touches. Instinct

SCIENTIST OPENED NEW
FIELD IN STUDY OF BIOLOGY
HIS PRINCIPLES HAVE BEEN Ac-
cEPTED AS PROvEN-ADoPTE
IN ENTIRE APPLICATION TO
PLANT, ANIMAL AND HUMAN
LIFE.

July % marks the first centenary
of the birth of Abbot Gregor Mendel.
1t is an occasion of deep significance
for Catholics. An outstanding figure
in biological research, Mendel is the
most recent in that long procession of
men of eminent genius, who, though
Catholic clergymen, have stood in the
very forefront Of advancing knowl-
edge and have left examples to the
scientist of scholarly attainment and
to the layman of profound piety and
living faith.
Menders Discoveries.
The significance of Mendel's re-
searches for biology cannot be over
estimated, says the Catholic Bureau
Bulletin. Working at time when
Darwin's conclusions were generally
accepted, he questioned not only the
results but the premises of one who
has left his permanent influence upon
the thought of the nineteenth and all
succeeding centuries. To these prem
ises and conclusions he applied the
crucial test of experiment. Darwin
thought that the hereditary endow-
ment of the individual may be altered
or increased by. the action of the en-
vironment on succeeding generations;
that each generation adds it's contri-
button to the developing characters of
the organism. In this way, so Darwin
thought, characteristics are intensi-
fed, increased and gradually changed,
until such profound notifications are
effected that new species is pro-
duced. 1t was this view which Men.
del challenged. He realized that the
problem of evolution is essentially a
problem of heredity. Undertaking
most labOrious researches on the he,
redity of the characteristics of peas
in his convent garden, Mendel was
able to show that the hereditary en-
dOwment of an organism is kept re-
markedly constant in succeeding gen.
erations; that characteristics are not
contaminated or intermingled or grad
ed by hybridization, that definite laws
can be formulated according to which
hereditary transmission takes place,
and that the characteristics of one
generation can be definitely foretold
by careful study of the character.
istics of it's ancestors. This view was
in fundamental opposition to the ac
cepted views of the development OF
characteristics by the accumulation OF
minimal differences.
His Theories Applied.

portant results were hidden in the

the young levite, love sends him

Blooming in the soul of the viz

that is, it should so hold them.
This ravishing virtue sees de-

1t is the silent snow that falls

1t is the electric spark that enkin-

strive to dissimulate the poison

root of discord and dissension, CIV

WANT WHAT YOU NEED

PHILOSOPHERS tell US we can
= have anything we want, provided
we want it enough.
With certain qualifications this is
true. It, explains why many men get
things out of life that their friends
never expected tc get. They wanted
Them, and they got them.
Getting things in that way for most
people involves considerable sacrifice.
For example, If dry goods clerk
wants an automobile he may get it,
but he win have to skimp pretty heav-
lily on his clothes and diet II he gets
It while he still remains a dry goods
clerk.
IT Is for this reason that when you
begin wanting something, 1t will pay
YOU to want what you need.
That will involve thought, or none
of ts know what we need until we
devote considerable time to reflection
and study.
There are men who want new wives,
when they have perfectly good wives
at home. They don't need them. and
therefore ought not to want them.
There are other men who want
wealth, when they don't need wealth.
still other men went steam yachts
when row boats would do them more
good, and private swimming pools
when they would get more fun and
health out Of public baths in the
ocean.
They may get these things, but
they will be no better of when they
do get them.

AGAINST THE TIDE

RESETTING you on every hand
Is the invisible tide which Is
hourly sweeping humans from their
charted course and carrying them In
to unknown waters.
The captains of courage who have
gone before, weathered the treach-
erous currents and reached secure
haven, are the only ones who can tell
you what this opposing tide means
to the young or the inexperienced,
or the oyer-confident.
They will tell you how difficult It
Is in trying moments to keep your
honor bright; how hard 1t is to steer
away from temptation or the habit
of loose thinking; how perplexing 1t
Is to avoid the sucking shoals when
you should keep cool. hold to the
straight course and exert your ut
most strength.
You may pose for hero before
the world, but be careful lest the tide
pull you under and expose the fraud.
If your colors are false, beware
for the tide knows them.
III spite Oh It's puTrluS NOicc anu
shining face 1t Is restless foe, a
bearer Of no tales, a silent destroyer
of ambition and wrecker of hope
when your star seems to glow the
brightest and you stand puffed up In
conceit before an admiring world.
Alas for the man who In such q
moment plunges headlong into the tide
without first reckoning his endurance.
The water is icy cold, swift and
treacherous.
How many men do you know who
have gone down in such plunge,
never again to show their head?
Their pride and pomp, their wealth
sank from sight and left only few
empty bubbles behind, bursting and
disappearing.
Be honest with yourself. sincere
with others, practice the Golden Rule
