FROM DARWIN TO DURBANK. 1'The Clinton Club which has had I the good fortune t'ci hear a number of x e cellent addresses. this season was particularly favored co Fraley evening, when • Mr. A. P. Gundry, B. A., former principal of the Col- legiate,. but now principal at' Strath. roy, gave what must be conceded the most interesting and instructive of the series. The members and their guests to the number of fifty or t'her.- abcut' came a tininteresting xpec g an though ' possibly scarcely a popular sort of address, but the . rounds of ap- plauns which greeted the speaker at$ the close clearly voted his effort one of unusal interest and pleasure. Opening with• a shorty biovrephical sketch of ChA''.ts Delwin', the sub- ject wadaat once outlined (n a brief resume of tee place Darwin earned and still holds in the world of science. Darwin did not originate the idea of evolution; the theory was 2000 years old, but it had been studied with special interest by his grand- father, Erasmus Darwin,. and ' his father, Robent Darwin, and Charles early became familiar with it. Just as our own Horatio •Hale, as philolb,g let accompanied tithe American exped ition for the advancement of Science into the. Polyneniane Islands and tase- where, no Darwin, as biological cox pert', accompanied the British Ex- pedieio_n of•the Beagle around the world resiting the far places of the Earth from Patagonia to Van Die - man's land: ; On this expedition he notttl in isolated' continents and islands those peculiarities of animal life which ethabled him later Vo deve- lop his theories, For instance, tur- tles known • elsewhere in afire world had. developed to a very: much higher' standard at the. Galapogos Islands than in anyother place. Animals of. the Kangaroo species thought known, in North America (the opossum being generically the same) .- had in Ails - Clinton Branch - C. E. Dowding, Manager t'ralia taken on various forms and had prevailed over every other form of the animal life of Australia.. The reason for these and similar instans- es is what Darwin sought and din- . minim ml"' covered. He returned to England and being a man of private means was ableto v d•d d absolutely d© of e an m a a Y the -remainder of his life to the sub- ject of , the processes of natural... sel- ection and the survival of the fit- test. For twenty-seven years he worked before ho could be induced by • ihis r his fifriends.tot publishremits. i u Then . he 'did so only because later pioneers. in the' fieldwere coming. forward with •the same ideas, not- ably Alfred Rueael Wallace. Sum- ming up : What . Darwin really ac- complished was not the discovery of the theory of ovoluelon but the die- 6:ivory of many real conditions and instances in Nature which would tendto prove the theory. ' lin 'statement) of the temory and his met- hod set geologists . and other scien- tists towork and the met result of the movement which he inaugurated its that now all biologists are 'evol- •utionists- ust as men in eve.rry .call- ing and occupation are in fact enol- ut'icmiste toeday. Among those in 'later days who following in the path wthich Darwin pointed Out was Luther Bur- bank. He. began a poor boy working iiamaitet garden; ,wa s forced eed to go to California for his health; theme be- came a nursery man; was given ' an order for 20,4)00 prune trees to be telpplied in nine months ithough• 'no such number could be had; took the. contract and by a hitherto unheard of method of grafting prunes on al - mend trces filled the contract. The speaker then dealt with Burbank's methods which are known to every magazine reader, showing how he followed Darwin's :ehenrien of natur- al and artificial selection and .by care- ful work has made a name exceeding all others in his line though he is only oneof many who are folliyn,�teng the same course of work and stUdy. , This outline of eke address feebly' indicates the natu3ie of the whole, robbed as it is of the very exceliebe fund of illustration, the forcible and very intelligible method of expre"s:on and -Me pleasing diction and enun- dattion of the speacker. At the close it was jocularly sug- gest/0d thati Mr. Gundry favor the club at a later data with an address on Darwin's theory of a descent of man from the monkse. replying to which Mr. Gundry, took occa- sion to correct, a popular error that was nob the theory of Darwin, but of Darwin's enemies who Sought to reduce his true theories to an abstiiwlity by this application of theme. . Neediest' to say Mr. Gundry wall be heartily welcomed when he comes apart to address the Club on any subject. atisfacto TAILORIN Test Our Work ! At Your Service !
