He labors under the diffi culty of having to present his thoughts in English, instead cf his mother language—German--and al- though this ls a great diffisalty, es- pecially in haudling sclentific sub- jects, where fine shadings and accu- racles of speech are 8o necessary, yet he overcame this obstacle nobly in his lecturo yesterdasy. Ho presented ma: y facts and thoughts which were new to those who listened, and which showed that he had not fallen behind tho latest writers and investigators In that part of the sclentlfio field In whish he has for several years been so enthusiastioally interested. It is next to fmposaible to give a sat- isfactory and just synopals of a scien- tlfic lecture of this mozt. Statemeaits of theorles having been closely stud- fed and concisely framed, illustrations well chosen, and links {n the chaln f reasoning closely riveted, it s difficult to glve a just idea in any brief man- ;m". The lecture needs be heard In ull, An outline may, however, not be entirely amiss. Tne speaker opened his lecture with a bird's-eye view cf evolution and its growth, and how the sohool had divided on the queation as to whether the miud of man had been slowly evolved trom the lower types of mental life, or whether it stands apart from all other types.

The migratory lnsiisct, the home in- stinct, and one or two others needed s listlo further sclontific tr quiry, but there were ceantless cases of animal instincts which could be explalned by two hypotheses. One, that they arise from the effacts of "habit In successlve generatlons, aotior s which were orlgin- ally intelligent, and became stereo- typed into permanent Instinots, In- t[stincts might arlse from intelligent observation and adjustment gradually growing into a non-intelligent or in- stinotive adjustment, The other way in which animal In- stinots might arise was from the sur- vival of the fittest, which the speaker {llustrated by facts in {ncubation, 1 the protection of eggs belng the pflmlr{ motlve of the wmother, and the effect of the warmth being secondary, He also illustrated by the sucking instinct as shown in a form of a jolly fish, very close to the vegetable form of life, He held that . | ln most cazes of animal Instincts, In- that he had [telligence and natural selection have . | gone hand in hand in producing the tect himself on a trlp that he was | results, natural selection always secur- golog to take south.

THE POWDsR HOUSES They Must bs Remsved in Crder to Quiet the Nerves of the Timid. Some year or 80 ago there waa quite a little commotion rafsed about the powder houses, which are located In the outekirts of the city. At that time It wae discovered that the doors had been used as targets by careless shooters, and that there were resi- dences 80 near the powder houses that in case of an jexploslon thers might much death and destruction follow. The city councll, belng woke up, or- dered all the powder houses removed wihin six months, Little has been done since then, and the order has baen a dead letter until a short time ago, some of the women, who had tired of waiting for the men to do anything, signed a etition and protest, and marched to g’ul Bee office to have {t made public, 8lnce the woman's dccureLt was pub- lished in Tne Bxg, there has been a listle more stlr, and on Saturday D. K. Dobson filed in ths court a com- plaint against Oliver & Graham for maintaining & powder house in Plum Hollow. The clty marshal says he is goleg to have the owners of other .| powaer houses brought to time also, In most if not all these cases the local firms ave slmply agents for powder mills in the east, and do not own the powder houses, but handle the powder on commlission, so that if all are forced to move thelr houses the local men will only have to charge the manufac- trouble of having the powder stored at a greater distance. The ordinance is belng violated in other ways tn the city, and retail dealers in powder should also read it up and mee to it that they have the required sigus posted in the windows aud tha! they do not keep on haud more than the aw allows, Agood awning fr sale.
