Fy CONSTANCE CLARKE.
I hid underneath a wayside stone,
And laughing went upon my way alone,
So email a thing It was I never thought,
That it could be the gift for which I sought
But I was young with like I longed to play.
Thinking that love would come another day;
Certain that while 1 rioted with June
Life would give me what I wanted soon.
Then at the Vesper hour I came to pray,
And caught my breath, for on the altar lay
The glffof gifts, and lo, I knelt unhid
Love was the wonder thing I had hid.
War and Heredity
While Europe Is Plunged Into Savagery the Representa

Evolution in Far-Off Australia

Amidst the roar of war a quiet vole
comes from Melbourne, Australia, speak
ing the peaceful language of actenee. It
la a vole from the great British aasocla-
tlon for the advance
mint of science,
which haa been hold
ing Its annual ses
sions In that far-off
southern land, with
as much contempt of
the military par-
oxysm around It aa
Archimedes exhibited
, when he kept oti
with the solution of
, h I s mat hematlcal
problem while the
bloody Roman
swords were thrust
at his face. 1
There Is a strangely significant connec
tion between the aubject discussed by the
savants In Australia and the deeds being
done In Europe.
They both touch, or are based upon
heredity. The on is a terribly practical
Illustration of the theoretical doctrlnee
of the other.
The voice from Australia tells ua very
bluntly that Darwin's famoua theory that
natural selection, or the survival of the
fittest, la the great motive force In
evolutionary advance la out of date and
discredited.
"Modern research," says Prof. William
Bateson In his presidential address to the
great scientific association; "modern re
search lends not the smallest encourage
ment or sanction to the view that grad
ual evolution occurs by the transforma
tion of masses of individuals, though that
fancy has fixed Itself on popular Imagina
tion." And he avers, also, with even greater
decisiveness of speech: "Almost the last
shred of that Ideological fustian" (tele
ology in the senso here used means pur
posive design In nature) "with which
Victorian philosophy loved to clothe the
theory of evolution Is destroyed. Those
who would proclaim that whatever Is It
right will be wise henceforth to base this
faith frankly on the Impregnable rock of
superstition and to abstain from direct
appeals to natural fact."
The new. view advocated by Prof. Bate,
son suggests that the variations which
result In evolutional changes all lie hidden
In the germ of living things, and are not
added from' without by the effects of
experience and environment. . ,
"At first," says Prom. Bateson, "It
may seem rank absurdity to suppose that
tho primordial form or forms of proto
plasm could have eontlned complexity
enough to produce the divers types of
life. Put Is It oasler to Imagine that
these powers could have been conveyed
by extrlnslo additions? Of what nature
could these additions be?"
And then he goes on: "That primordial
life may hsve been of small dimensions
nesdj not disturb us quality Is of no ac
count In these considerations. Shakes,
peare onee existed as a speck Of proto
plasm not so big ss a small pin's head.
To this nothing was added that would
not equally well have served to build up a
baboon or a rat. I have confidence
that the artistic gifts of mankind will
Prove to be due not to something added
to the makeup of an ordinary man, but
to the absence of factors which In the
normal person Inhibit the development
of these gifts. Thoy are, almost without
doubt, to be looked upon as releases of
power normally suppressed. The Inetru
mcnt is there, but It Is 'stopped down.' "
This Is really a far more comforting
view of evolution than that which Dar
win took. If our good and bad qualities
do not com to us from without by slow
changes requiring millions of years, but
He all packed up In the form of life.
I waiting to be released, the chance for
rapid Improvement la so muehthe greater.
I And this accords with the teaching of
, recent experiments. Look at what Luther
j Burbank has drawn out of the Illimitable
store of tendencies underlying plant life.
At his touch, as It were, previously un
, known beauty of form and of color have
come forth, as If compelled to ahow them,
selves by the power of enchantment. But
what his wand has really done has been
to set Into operation the "releases" of
which Prof. Bateson speaks. And every
reader knows how marvellously quick
have been many of the transformations!
In a few years new flowers of unex
ampled beauty, and new fruits of match,
less qualities, have been caused to flour
ish In magical abundance.
But many readers will also recall those
unspeakabls, abhorrent,, monstrous forma
that Mr. Burbank has occasionally called
forth, and which he relentlessly destroyed
on sight This kind, too, lie In wait In
the original germ. Burbank could in
stantly crush those that his hand sum
moned Into active existence, but when
malign tendencies arise In the more
complex life of humanity they are not so
easily dealt with. The artlstlo faculties
of man, says Prof. Bateson. hav been
the monstrous faculties of destructive
ness that are now raging unrestrained
over Eurpoe. They were among the first
to be developed In the human being, and
at their appearance, unhappily, no con.
trolling hand suppressed them. But we
may truly hop that their very xcess
of feroclou activity will lead to their
elimination, and that th Chang may
come with the rapidity of ono of the
critical mutations that sometimes mani
fest themselves In lower life forms.

You are Inviting rum to attend you
when you permit yourself to receive the
attentions of a married man. Other peo
ple will think you a girl of no moral
character, and you will forfeit the re
spect of men who might come to take a
permanent place In your llf. And for
what will you sacrifice your chances of a
home and happiness? For a man who Is
not true to his wife will not be any more
faithful to his foolishly trusting little
sweetheart. And when you go down to
destruction you will dra with you, be

took her home and she permitted m to
call on her. I called on this young lady
for four months twice weekly, and she

as to tell her lies: I told her my parents

Vacactlon Is over. The salt of the sea
has left our nostrils snd the smell of the
pines lingers no longer on our hands and
hair. The tan end freckles painted on
our faces by. the
brush of old ocean
are fading. The
fragrance of our pino

But what of th spiritual results, of
that play-tlm and rest-tlm far from
the city? Are we carrying the spirit of
vacation through the year? Are w
kesplng alive that love of nature that will
take us out of the dusty, noisy town on
a Sunday to seek and find strength of
body and quiet of soul? Every town Is
surrounded by country or by water, and
every one ran run away from the din
and distractions of town, who has the
use of his leg muscles or has a dime In
his pockets. Do we continue to calm
Jangling nerves by a looking Into sky
depths or cool the moment's fever by
turning eur hot faces to the wind? Have
we learned the lesson of the heating of
the country so well that ws can never
forget It and that, not forgetting, we
draw vigor from the hills and breadth of
vision from the plains whenever oppor
tunity offers and when th opportunity Is
lacking, w treat it? .
Are w keeping alive the kindliness of
the summer vacation? "I'm a different
