less from the parent (variation). The thus modified offspring, subjected to natural selection, ultimately perish if they are unadapted, but survive if they are adapted to their surroundings. Repetitions of this process finally bring the descendants of plants to differ materially from their ancestors (evolution). The-end of the process seems to be the development of organisms which are little or not at all subject to variation (monotypic genera). All genera of plants containing a large number

cation, in 1862, of his book on that subject, and in it his detailed observations are recorded. Some of his closest observational work was done on this subject of cross-pollination, and he examined a great many species and grew thousands of plants from seed; reaching the broad generalization that cross-fertilization is beneficial to a species and self-fertilization is injurious. The phenomena do not now, however, appear to have as important a relation to evolution as they were formerly

of Philadelphia, which in 1860 had elected Darwin to membership, published the first important direct contribution to the subject of evolution made by one not directly under the influence of the Boston academies. This contribution, On the Origin of Genera, was made by Cope, who for several years had been submitting papers to the academy of a descriptive and semi-speculative character, anti largely dealing with the classification of reptiles. I believe that I am perfectly safe in saying that no

duty and destiny, round which thought revolves, centripetally tethered, as planet to the sun. He was not what is termed a moral philosopher, but what he has to say on the evolution of conscience or the ethical sense is a model of clearness with compactness. Every text-book on this subject is mainly an expansion of his lucid chapters wherein he expounds unbroken development from the throbs of the amoeba to the emotions of man, and traces the origin of codes of conduct in the herd instinct

force of facts demonstrating that if the process known as evolution operates anywhere, it operates everywhere, and that man can be no element of discord in a universal order which is alike his stimulus and safeguard. In forcing, as it were, Darwin's hand, Huxley rendered him enormous service. He prepared the way for the publication of The Descent of Man, whereby the significant issues of the theory of natural selection were brought home to men's business and bosoms.' Significant, because

success m the struggle for existence, that war in which there is no discharge. It is on these variations, the causes of which are obscure, that natural selection acts in the production of species, which, it is needful to remark, remain constant so long as the balance between themselves and their surroundings is undisturbed. For the keynote of evolution is adaptation, not ceaseless. change in the organism, whereby it becomes something else. Here, there is no need for other than brief reference to the

waited. It was emphatic. I am prepared, he said, to go to the stake, if requisite, in support of the chapters marshalling the evidence for evolution, and Darwin's delight expressed itself in willingness to sing his Nunc Dimittis. Huxley, master of clear and vigorous English, presented the facts proving the descent of man and the higher mammals from a common ancestry, and, what was of profound significance, the evidence of an unbroken chain of psychical continuity between the lowest and the most

bring when it came division and pain—not peace, but a sword. And now that the battle of evolution had long been over, the dominant feeling, as they looked back upon the past half-century, was of pathos even more than of triumph. In all the boundless realm of philosophy and science there was no thought which had carried with it so much of pain, but in the end not long delayed, so much of the joy which came of intellectual activity and effort, as the doctrine of organic evolution which must always

the multitudinous criticisms of his work that poured from the Press. A plebiscite of the body scientific in the year 1860 would have shown but a handful of supporters for the new theory; such a plebiscite to-day would assuredly show an overwhelming majority. The layman—even the educated layman—still too often looks upon Darwinism as synonymous with organic evolution or the theory of descent, and regards the evolution idea as a sudden revelation for which Darwin was alone responsible; and so when

Beginning with the earliest notes on geology, an interesting series of Darwin's notebooks and manuscripts are shown. Of these the first note-book on evolution, begun in 1837, and the first draft of The Origin of Species, which he permitted himself to write down in 1842, 17 years before the publication of his

CHAPTER IV THE TRIUMPH OF CATASTROPHISM OVER EVOLUTION THERE is no fact in the history of science which is more certain than that those great pioneers of Evolution in the Inorganic world Generelli, Desmarest and Hutton utterly failed to recommend their doctrines to general acceptance; and that, at the beginning of last century, everything in the nature of evolutionary ideas was almost universally discredited alike by men of science and the world at large. The causes of the neglect and
