Exhibit Defies Theories. Among the exhibits which will be on view this afternoon and tonight is onc of a phenomenon that seems to violate all the laws of evolution which hold for the rest of the living world. This s the case of the diatoms, ex- tremely minute ocean plants which swarm in all seas. Photographed under the miscroscope they are seen to have beautiful patterns which are used as models by jewelers It is a law of life that everything must have an ancestor, and that organisms evolve from simple to com- plex. But, according to Dr. FINEST MEN'S Albert | chain WEAR Mann, the Carnegie expert who has devoted a lifetime to the study of | diatoms, nothing ever has been found that by the most far-fetched conjecture could be considered an ancestor of the diatoms. They appeared suddenly in the miocene geological period all over the world, Still more astonishing, Dr. Mann said, the most complex in structure and beautiful of the diatoms were the first t6 appear. From the beginning of the species the evolutionary change, when it has occurred at all, has been toward simpler and simpler forms. Banghok, Siam, is to have its first shoe store.
