evolution itself. But it is no rash assertion that the facts must survive, and something more than the facts, which DARWIN spent his happy life in collecting. He accumulated facts, and he will have taught posterity how to accumulate them. Should the theories which he inferred from facts as he knew them ever become subordinate or obsolete, it will be in virtue of discoveries made through the method he used and enthroned. The horizon he beheld may widen or contract; no increase in the facilities for

was felt that the Abbey needed it more than it needed the Abbey. The Abbey tombs are a compendium of English deeds and intellect. The line would have been incomplete without the epoch-making name of DARWIN. How long the era he opened will last none can tell. Veins of thought supposed to be of inexhaustible wealth sometimes fail. It is still less possible to predict that a larger law may not sooner or later embrace and merge that of evolution itself. But it is no rash assertion that the facts must

Among the many eulogies that will be written on the life, works, and death of Darwin perhaps few will be more honest or sincere than those that are penned by practical horticulturists. At first sight it might appear that the theory of Evolution and the Origin of Species had but little relation to

The revolution of ideas which he symbolised for us all was not altogether of his own making; it was itself a natural evolution from the current knowledge and the current philosophy of the age; but he, more than any one man who ever lived, put the coping-stone upon the work of centuries, and impressed the whole coinage of thought with his own mint-mark. Even without his vast and varied

interesting, and not a little amusing, to one who has followed this latest conflict of theology with science through its several phases of contempt, execration, abhorrence, toleration, and final acceptance, to learn that eminent dignitaries of the English Church, in commenting on the life and work of the great apostle of evolution, have made the discovery that that the theory of evolution, at least in its most important aspects, has come to be recognized as not inconsistent with creation or

Downe Court is one of the old square-built red-brick mansions of the last century, to which has been added in more recent times a gable-fronted wing, with another square-built wing and pillared portico on the corresponding side. Shut in, and almost hidden from the roadway by a high wall and a belt of trees, it seems the very ideal of a place for

that man was once something better than he now is in the lowest human types, and has not altogether lost the capacity for noble life which once he exercised in perfection. Into the subtleties of the embryonic argument for the Evolution theory it is not necessary to go, inasmuch as this is a later development of the Darwinian theory; but it may be remarked that the strength of this kind of evidence depends exclusively on the assumption that the ova of all animals are alike in their elements

arbitrarily constructs the 'early progenitor' of man out of the characteristics common to the Anthropoids and the human species; and while Haeckel, who pushes the doctrine of evolution to its furthest limits, fills up the gaps between Man and the 'nebular haze' of Laplace with imaginary animals, which he supposes will be dug out of the earth's bowels eventually; their opponents point out that every new geological discovery only reveals more clearly how wide are the differences between the species and
