would think that the Kansas schools
would have no further difficulty about
the thing.
THE TIME OF EVOLUTION.
RUT even IL we reach a definite
~ conclusion as to the nature Of the
process by which life gradually ap-
peared and assumed higher and high
er forms, the question still remains
over how great a period did the proc
ess last? What time element must be
interposed? In other words, as Henri
Bergson once stated 1t, with char
acteristic fash OF genius, How long
did it take?"
The earlier estimates Of evolution
ary scientists placed the age OF man
at about 100000 years. This was
ridicuiously low. You can't evolve
any kind of real man in that time
Huxley boldly raised the figure to
100000. Lord Kelvin, amid unusual
applause, put 1t up to 100000 years.
The cheers had hardly died away
when Sir Ray Lancaster disturbed
the whole universe by declaring that
man was 100000 years old. Two
years later professor raised it to

was raised from year to year amid
universal enthusiasm.

POSTSCRIPT: UP-TO-DATE COP
RECTIONS OF THE DARWINIAN
THEORY.
n STILL more cheerful light Is
thrown on the evolution contro-
versy by the fact that modern biolo-
gists do not entirely hold with the
theory of Charles Darwin. I find on
inquiry that they are prepared to
amend his evolution doctrine in a
variety of points.
1t seems that Darwin laid too much
stress on what he called natural Sc
lection and the survival of the fittest.
The modern biologist attaches no i'm
portance to either of these. 1t
seems also that Darwin overestimated
very much the part played by hered-
ity. He was, moreover, mistaken in
his idea of the change of species. II
is probable, too, that his notion of a
monkey is inadequate 1t Is doubtful
also whether Darwin ever actually
sailed on the Beagle" He may have
been in the "Phineas @. Fletcher" of
Duluth. Nor Is it certain that his
name was Darwin.

This wonderful theory was discov-

a book called "Sartor Resartus, ("

scent of mankind from the avoirdu-

One must admit that In this form
the theory does not seem calculated
to give any great offense to anybody.
One must, therefore, suppose that the
