IIo labors under the dlfli oalty of having to prcsont his thoughts In English , instead of his mother language German and al though this Is a great dfflhulty , es pecially In handling scientific sub jects , where fine shading * and accu- raoles of speech are BO necessary , yet ho overcame this obstacle nobly In his lectnr'o yesterday. II o presented mat y facts and thoughts which were now to those who listened , and which showed that ho had not fallen behind the latest writers and investigators In that part of the scientific Cold In ffhhh ho baa for aevoral.yoara been so enthusiastically Interested. It U next to Impossible to glvo a sat isfactory and just synopals of a scion- tlfio lecture of this sort. Statements of theories having boon closely ntnd- led and concisely framed , Illustrations null chosen , and links In the chain tf reasoning closely riveted , It la difficult to giro a jast Idea In uny brief man ner. The lecture needs bo hoard In full. full.An An outline may , however , not bo entirely amiss. Tno speaker opened hla lecture with a bird's-oyo view cf evolution and Its growth , and how the school had divided on the question as to whether the mlud of man had been slowly evolved trom the lower types of mental life , or whether It elands apart from all other types. The speak er hold to the former Idea , and msdn a strong argument In Its favor. Ho hollared that the man's mind differed from that of the lower animate In de gree rather than In kind. Ho hollered hat Vfhllo perhaps not every fact of nlmal Intelligence could not now be 'zplalned ' fully on this hcory , yet , he oxcoptlona wcro BO few , nd the probability of their peody explanation with further study ? aa ao apparent , thnt the theory hould bo accepted , Ho hold that nont animal instincts could bo ox- lalnod on the ground of natural rowth , rather than the belief that hey were Implanted by the creator , fho migratory Inslioct , the homo in- tlnct , nnd ono or two othcrH needed llttlo further nclontifio liqalry , bat .hero vrero cnnntlcsa cases of animal nstlnota which could bo explained by , wo hypothrsen. One , that they nrlso rom the clTjcta of * hablt In succitHslvo onoratlonn , aotloca which were origin- illy Intelligent , and became stereo- ypod Into permanent Instincts. In- tlnctn might arlap from Intelligent boor vat Ion and adjaslmcut gradually rowing Into a non-intelligent or In- tlnotlvo adjustment. The other way in which animal In- tlnota might arlso was' from the sur- ival of the fittest , which the speaker llustratcd by facto In incubation , ho protection of eggs being the irlmary motlvo of the mother , nd the effect of the warmth being secondary. II o also illustrated ' ) j the sucking Instinct as shown in a orm of a jolly fiah , very close to the vegetable form of life. Ho hold that n most cases of animal Instincts , In- olllgonco and natural solcotlon have ; ono hand in hand In producing the 'osnlta ' , natural selection always scour- ng and rendering permanent any ad vances which Intelligent may have nr.de. In closing thia part of his mbject ho called attention to the fact hat Instincts are plastic and not igldly fixed. The other great didionlty in accept' ng the theory was the enormous dlf 'oronco between human and anlmn ntelllgonco. Wo were not prepared to suspect the possibility of miu'i mind being developed from anlma * In telligence , until comioood that 111 : body was n preduet of natural ovolu tlon. Yet It WBD a question of decree not of kind. To show thi > similarity the apoako : Illustrated how the omotionn ol fear , affection , passion , pugnacity , jealouiy sympathy , pride , reverence , cmuln tlon , shame , hate , curiosity , revenge cruelty , the aoneo of the ludicrous anc that of the beautiful , were found li animals , as well as in man , dlilarlni only In degree. The speaker carefully defined in stlnotlve and rational acts , the dlfler once being that the former were act ao often repeated as to need no con sclous effort of thought , whllo the ra ttonal act required a conscious cflorl Men acted olten Instinctively in com mon with animals. Was It too mncl to bollovo that animals acted often r tionally In common with man ) Taero was a great chasm botwoei the roacon shown by ma and the gem of reason In the brute but It was a difference not c kind , but of decree. Ono of th causes of this difference was the fac that man possessed the power o speech. Mr. Ahlos Illustrated how without the help of signs or words , I was Impossible to road inoro than th lowoit degree of abstract thought. I : order to make speech possible ther was required a peculiar mental an vocal organlzUlon. When thla WB developed the rudimentary spaeoh be yan , and speech In turn advance thought , and thus they roolorooall helped developo each other. This th speaker accounted In part for the gret degree of difference between man mental powers and what are turme the Instincts of the brute world , an yet insisted that human Intelligent was of the sumo kind as that of th animal , and developed to so high degree that people had been led t think that the Creator had given t one moro more Instinct and has blni ed the other with reason M an absolut gift. In doling , the speaker said that thin theory need not necessarily do away with other beliefs &a to each being the Lord's and the fulnots thcroof , or that Oed created all , un less the Idea ot law was held to bo in oppoaltion to that of a creator. At the clcao of the lecture , D : . Paulson showed a photograph ho had received of the child monkey , secured by the great scientist Dock , In India , and which la now causing such a stir in Europe aa balng "tho missing link" so long searched for to support the Darwinian tneory ; The doctor gave a very interesting account of the cap ture of the peculiarities of this girl , who seems half monkey and half hu man.

Some year or BO ago there was qulto a little commotion raised about the powder houses , which are located In the outskirts of the city. At that time it was discovered that the doors had been used as targets by cureless shooters , and that there were resi dences so near the powder houses that In ease of an 'explosion there might much death &nd destruction follow , The city council , bolng woke up , ordered - derod all the powder houses removed ftithln six months. Llttlo has been done slnco then , and the order has baon a dead letter until a short time ago , somu of the women , who had tired of waiting for the mon to do anything , signed a petition and protest , and marched to TUB BEE office to have It msdo public. Since the woman's dccutceut was pub lished In THE BSE , there has been A liUln moro ttlr , and on Saturday D. K. Djbaon filed in tha court a com plaint against Oliver & Graham for maintaining a powder house in Plum Hollow. The city marshal says ho is goicg to have the owners of other powaer houses brought to tlmo also. In most If not all those cues the local firms are simply agents for powder mills in the east , and do not own the powder houses , but handle ( he powder on commission , so that if all are forced to move tttolr houses the local mon will only have to charge the manufac turers a llttlo more for the extra trouble of having the powder stored at a greater distance. The ordlnanco is being violated In other ways In the city , and retail dealers in powder should alao road it up nnd BOO to it that they have the required sign * posted in the wiadowi and that they do nut keep on hind moro than the law allows , A Rood awning fr sale.
