Darwinian TheoryJtn Error to Suppose It Has Been Finally

8; £. U. Starkmy.

DWARD DOBSON aaaumea that 'the evolutionary doctrine lano longer debatable except In minor phases."

It la an odd thins that the "evolutionary doctrine" (bywhich Is probably meant the hypothesis of genetic evolutionby natural selection), which may be called the Darwiniantheory, la popularly supposed to be finally accepted by thescientific world.

There could be no graver error. Natural selection la atbest a working hypothesis with a minimum of scientific evi-

dence and a maximum of more or less ingenious but loose and unscientificreasoning.

John Glrard says, speaking of Darwinism: "In spite of Its great name. ItskSut l>e«n-popular-rather than sclent!ftc .̂ and «stln«>ir«nt-

oa It has lost ground among the class most qualified to Judge. Evolutioniststhere are In plenty, but very few genuine Darwinists, and among these can byno means be reckoned all who adopt the title, for not a few of them, likeRomanes and Welssmun, profess doctrines which cannot be reconciled withthose of Darwin himself."

Professor Huxley, an ardent exponent of Darwinism, could not unreserv-edly accept the theory, and a score or more of scientific men of the first rankcould be named who "reject Darwinism altogether or admit it only with fatalreservations '

That higher forms of organic life have been evolved from lower Is not dis-puted, but that all organic life has been so developed genetically from sub-stantially the same fs™ ("'..Eerfn rPj

a8nl.lB,..very;.far Jtrgiin an accepted scientific,'fact. Apart from- biological research, which cannot b» conclusive, ^i lwenaveto guide us am the fragmentary records of paleontology, which, when criticallyexamined, certainly do not help the affirmative very much.

It Is not possible without encroaching seriously upon your space to showthe many obstacles to the acceptance of the theory In question, but generallyspeaking, tlie fossil records of organic life are fertile with evidences antago-nistic to tbc hypothesis of gunetic evolution, while the evidence required toaupport it Id conspicuous at every turning point by Its absence, and has to besupplied by the Ingenious imagination of its advocates. As M. Fabre soys(quoted by Qlraird): "tjet us acknowledge that In truth, we know nothingabout anythlnsj^as far as ultimate truths are concerned. Scientifically consid-ered, nature Is a riddle to which huomn curiosity can find no answer. Hy-pothesis, the ruins of theories are piled one on, another; but truth ever es-capes us. To learn bow to remain In Ignorance- may well be the final lessonof wisdom."

Cleanliness In Hog Feeding.The hog responds as readily to clean-

liness and care as any other animalon the farm. Not long, since I wasgreatly impresse'd with thetlack of san-itary conditions around the yards andhouses of a man who had been grow-ing hogs more or less successfully forten years.

His feeding troughs were foul withdecayed food, the floors were dampand Ill-smelling and the yards weredamp and full of mudholea that gooddrainage would have prevented.

All fixtures In a hog house shouldbe movable. It Is advantageoa: tohave the troughs where they may bewashed or scalded out twice eaoh weekat least Foul troughs are good breed-ing places for parasites that may betaken Into the stomach and convertedInto -worinsi .Ba.oiB floors may beovercome if the house Is well airedand windows enough are In It to let

It Is never best tb allow dust to ac-cumulate, on the partitions and in pensUBed for feed. It Is always Injuriousto the health of the hogs.

Those who are In the habit of feed'ing their bogs grain scattered 1n themud or dust of a dry yard should builda feeding floor and use It Go Intoany hard that Is ted In the dust fromthrown-down grain and much wheez-ing and coughing will be heard. Thisis bad on all hogs and especially thosekept for breeding purposes.

In building a feeding floor It shouldbe set off the ground four to six lnch-ea and built solidly of good timber. A2x4 piece should' be nailed, aroundthe whole edge, which will preventlots of shelled or ear corn being pushedoff Into the dirt apd dust.

WORKING IN HARMONY WITHNEW JERSEYS' DEVELOPMENT.

Every business centre or localitymay refer with pardonable pride toparticular institutions', that have beenconspicuous factors in lines of de-velopment and advancement, especiallywhen they are connected with the finan-cial development of a community.The organization of grent financial in-stitutions and their proper manage-ment calls for the highest form ofadministrative ability and those, insti-tutions, which possess this, nre entitl-ed to the greatest consideration.

Just such an organijation as this isthe Fidelity Trust Company of New-ark, N. J., an institution combiningjnitsclf^UMJ^mostr^deairable'featuresan establishment of that nature canpresent. The Fidelity Trust "Com-pany might be termed, "A financialdepartment store,". for it includes aBanking Department, for commercialpurpotea and domestic usva as well, aSavings Department, specially -desir-able for small investors, an ' Invest-ment Department, administered byofficers thoroughly In .touch-with the

jintrinnic value of. the b>*st sort ofsecurities offered to ' the Investingpublic, Renl-Estate nnd Trust Depart-ment, for the administration of estatesand trusts, Loan Collection Depart-:™'0T™i»* esi, aT ' ' | f t - D e "" t m e n t . tar. the searching*? « f " " t l of titl» to „ . )

Jersey and a Safe Deposit'Department,for tfie general parpa«1!Bi6which«jcha branch of the business would natur-ally be put.

It has always been tho especial bus-iness of the Fidelity Trust Companyto work within a local zone, that isto say, the object has always been toconduct its affairs for the service ofcdrporatibrii, firms or individuals inind around Newark and in northernind central New Jersey. No. otherlart of the country is increasing moreapidly in a solid way than this see-Jon of New Jersey. .

There can be no doubt that there iscommercial and residential future

'or .northern and central New Jersey, ~which no one . could-, possibly have[reamed of twenty yean ago. The

railroads have been alert to this,evo-lution and its advantages by makingincreased transportation facilities be-tween these sections and New YorkCity a marked factor in their modernimprovements. It is not surprisingtherefore that an institution, whichhas associated itself with this wonder-ful advancement in the manner thathas been characterstic with .the Fidel-ity Trust Company, Bhould show thesignal development that has distin-guished this organization.

An example was one morning when a lit.tie .boy perceived the mark of a toohot flatiron on Oenetlevo's petticoat.He pointed It out, Insisting that Itwas. -not- suitable, and the class de-cided that the offending garmentshould go back to the laundry. Theboy bad probably never had an Ironed garment upon bis own person Inhis life.

In_tha afternoon XJonevleve Is .un-dressed and robed in a nightgown,a garment previously unknown tomost.of.the.children in the,room, andis put In a little bed for ber nap.

All these fas-cinating doings ore great rewards olmerit and very educational as wellFor Instance, one day when tho classwas having a singing lesson a girlcalled out excitedly: "Filomena 'hasput Genevleve to bed so- that the lightshines in her eyes." The lesson hadto stop until Oenovleve's positionwas changed, but If the small criticremembers the lesspn with the bornebaby it was worth while-.'
