LONDON, NOV IS.-For the prop
er maintenance of Darwin'S old
home, Down house, as a national
memorial, and for the extension of
its general research program, the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science is seeking to raise
$194,000 prior to its centenary cele-
bration in September, 1881.
Darwin'S home in Kent was given
to the association by w. E. Bucks
ton Browne, who restored the study
and living rooms to resemble as
nearly as possible their appearance
when the famous scientist used
them. Part of the funds necessary
for the upkeep of the memorial were
included in the gift, but for the ade-
quate maintenance of Down house,
additional funds will be needed.

Street Scene
By Elsie Robinson

EGT THINK I'm going crazy
Il with boredom" she writes.
Il live on a stupid little street.
We all know what everyone else
is doing and it is deadly mo-
notonous. Nothing new ever
happens. If I could only get
out and see some real life
I'm thinking of two answers
to that letter, which I've seen
lately. One is an exhibit in the
New York Museum of Natural
History. It is called-"rotifers
and their associates" Sounds
about as exciting as hunk Of
excelsior, doesn't it? Actually
it is thrilling and lovely be-
yound all description.
One looks through a circular
glass pane, some five feet in di-
a m ter, into a brilliantly
lighted mimic world. The
world" is a reproduction, in
blown glass and wax. of one
half an inch of pond bottom,
magnified a million times. To
the dull human eye, a half
inch of pond bottom is an ex-
ceedingly uninteresting object.
A scrap of ooze. some filamentS
of moss, some minute creatures
squirming in the scum. But
magnified-here is fairyland!
That scrap of ooze is a frail
filagree of bronze, threaded
with silver, set with plaques of
gold. Those filaments become
a ferny wood, with crystal
stems and fronds Of emerald

Hearts that desire, as you and
I desire. Blood that runs hot
with anger or clots thick with
fear. Creatures too small for
our dull eyes to see
spending their lives in one
half inch of ooze yet
touching all the heights and
depths of life war "

death.
That's one answer to the cry
of a woman who can't find any
thing interesting in a little
street. There's another-run-
ming in the Ambassador Theater
in New York. 1t is called
STREET SCENE" and it rep
resents a segment of another
pond bottom-a block of New
York tenement life.
A sordid, dreary segment, yet
here, as in the puddle, runs the
hot red stuff of drama. Here's
every dream that fits through
human mind-love, lust, ambi-
ton, hate, gay, foolish laughter,
pity, tenderness, rebellion, NAL
ice, murder. All in one stupid
street." A place where you and
I might yawn away our lives.
But Elmer Rice, seeing it with
artists eyes, wrote Street

thousands a cross section OF

Emergent Evolution
By Archibald Henderson, Phi. d., LII. D.

rs there any new thing un-
der the sun?
- Any new principle in ma
ture?
These are questions which
the scientists are constantly
asking themselves. It is no
easy matter to answer these
questions positively.
ON the earth, inside the atom,
" in the inter-stellar spaces,
matter is constantly coming
into new aggregations, it is
true. But the outcome, it ap-
pears, is in conformity with
well established physical prin-
ciples.
Granting that everything is
undergoing a process Of change,
what grounds have we for be-
lieving that a new principle
has arisen? May it not be ex-
planned as the direct corollary
of the basic, universal princi-
pies of cause and effect?
Prof. Howard C. Warren, OF
Princeton, IS one TO the de-
tectives of science on the track
of the new principles. Such a
state of affairs is presumed in
the new theory of emergent
evolution. Under this novel
theory of organic development,
new (that is, unpredictable)
properties may come into being
as the result of new aggrega'
tions of material units.
MO eminent scientist today
~ disputes the principal Of
causality. The universal laws
Of causation are bound up in
the germ principle Of conserva-
ton Of energy. A certain
amount of energy is expended;
and superficial argument
would be that there has been
consequently, a loss Of energy.
But we know that the en-
ergy thus expended Is not lost:

Like settlers on any other
frontier, they were compelled
to begin crudely and push their
roads ahead of them.
They made blunders, COM
mitted errors Of taste and judg-
ment. and sometimes stopped
too far to conquer. But let
the field of business, without
some such sins to its discredit,
cast the first stone at motion
pictures.
THE vital thing to know is
l. that this particular indus
try, which contacts so init
mately with the daily life of
the entire nation. was first to
establish regulations, first to
set up it's own court Of morals,
and first to admit the puhlic'S
right to voice in the manage
ment Of its affairs.
The motion picture producer
is a manufacturer. He must
make the goods that his Gus
toners demand, or his Gus
toners will buy them some
where else. If his goods are
too fine, too exotic, too far over
the heads of the majority, he
can't expect to sell them widely.
Consequently, the balance
sheet warns productions to re-
main within the confines Of
popular approval or go broke.
AS merchants go broke when
they stock the wrong goods, or
publishers when they foist too
many high-brow books on the
trade.
The announcement by Will
H. Hays, that American motion
picture manufacturers have
just voluntarily agreed to re-
strain the fervors of love max
ing, and eliminate from their
presentations speech and &C.
tions that tend to exalt crime,
adultery, coarSeneSS or obScen-
ity, is final evidence of their
progressive endeavor to make
the theater safe for all the
family.
Which, incidentally, serves
warning on the Broadway stage
that Hollywood is no longer the
secondary dumping gro aud for
its recent garbage.

and hold the dust and they
may carry germs and so spread
infection.
A patient who lies in bed all
day, whether in pain or no, Is
also very sensitive to noise. A
noisy room, therefore, should
be avoided wherever possible.
Besides, care should be taken
lest banging of doors, ringing
of bells, loud noises, ETC., within
the house disturb the sick one.
Usually it is necessary and
desirable to have a small light
burning in the sick room all
night. But it should not be
allowed to shine into the pa
TENTS face. An ordinary elec-
trio light can be shaded with
heavy paper or cloth, or a
screen can be employed to in
tercept a strong light. A lamp,
properly shaded, is excellent.
When a person is Ill it is
best to have a light during the
night, even if he does not re-
quire care. A certain amount
of fear goes with illness, as a
rule, and to awaken in a dark
room may make the patient
feel lonely or otherwise uncom-
Portable.
AS little furniture as is neces-
Sary is the best rule to follow.
This should never be busted. It
should, however, be carefully
wiped with a damp cloth each
day.
Small rugs are better than
carpet or a large rug. They can
readily be removed from the
Sickroom and cleaned elsewhere.
1t adds greatly to a patients
comfort to shake up the pillows
every now and again.

it is merely transformed. AS
Warren puts it: the total effect
is exactly equivalent to the
sum total of the causes. This
has been called the law of un.
varying total.
Two new kinds Of process,
however, seem to be emerging
at certain stages Of evolution
on earth. These are the princi-
pies of Selective adaptation and
of anticipatory adjustment. They
are based upon the fundament-
al cauSal principle Of the un-
varying total. And yet they do
not seem to be merely corol-
laries from the general princi-
Piles of physics.
Consider first the principle
Of selective adoption.
IN the process of evolution. or
= ganisms tend to become more
adapted to the conditions Of
their environment. Organisms
respond to q larger number
of stimuli: their responsive
activities tend to afford them
more and better assistance in
keeping alive, in maintaining
their status as organic units
and in utilizing the surround
ing world for their own well
fare"
Selective adaptation thus ap-
pears as a brand new mode Of
activity, which does not exist
below the organic level.
In the later stages of organic
evolution occurs an even higher
principle, that Of anticipatory
adjustment. The frog snaps at
a fly, the squirrel hides q store
Of, nuts, the man labors and
builds in anticipation Of future
contingencies. Responses are
made to the stimuli of anticipa-
tions of future situations.
Anticipatory adjustment in
wolves no exception to the prin-
ciple Of the unvarying total.

A mans love is not dead until
he begins to think of his wife
merely as the person who dis
turbs his morning beauty-sleep
and his after-dinner reveries.
The average mans love-mak-
ing is so mechanical-nay, auto
matic-these days, that if he
should stop in the middle of a
sentence any girl could finish 1t
for him, between her yawns.
Half the women in the world
are revolving against the indig-
nifty of being tied to the home
and treated like ''pampered
pets"'-and the other half are
struggling to find some man
who will "pamper" them.
The smaller a mans heart,
the more little foolish love-af-
fairs he seems to be able to
crowd into it.
Many a beautiful memory of
romance has been ruined by a
woman's attempt to cling to the
reality, after the bloom was off.

AS a matter of duty certain
people will accept your invita-

thing in the way of diversion
which will be different from
what they usually enjoy. For
business reasons certain persons
favor you with their presence
or even invite you to their
homes.
Unless you are a member of
their own special little home
crowd you are not one Of them
and you subject yourself to ridi-
cule when you attempt to make
others believe that you belong
