Cassel Fifty Failures | Who Came Back By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1917, by The Pree Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) No. 8—CHARLES DARWIN, the ‘Failure’ Who Revolu- tionized Science. Y views have been grossly misrepresented, bitterly opposed and ridiculed. * * © TI have been contemptuously criticised, #0 that I have been mortified.” Thus wrote a man at whom half the world was angrily howling; a man whose life-work just then seemed buried forever under @n avalanche of abuse and fiery denunciation. From boyhood the victim’s own father had declared him « faflere and the dunce of the family. Later his genius was belittled and even ridiculed. Through the swamps of failure he gallantly floundered his way for years under conditions that would have wrecked the strength and courage of the average man. It was only as old ago drew about him that he emerged from the slough and climbed the heights of deathless fame. Yet he lived to see his seeming failure changed into immortality. He was Charles Robert Darwin, son of a rich English physician, At school he made no record at all for cleverness or for attention to study. As to his college career, he himself wrote franidy: “My yeare at Cambridge were wasted!” “A Disgrace to { the Family!” Rann Bee His father sent him to Edinburgh University to learn medicine, Darwin gave up the course be- cause he could not bear to look upon suffering, “You will be @ disgrace to yourself and all your family,” hie father srimly told him, A five-year voyage to the South Seas and to other out-of-the-way corners of the world was fitted up by the British Government. Darwin, who had done fairly well in botany at oollege, wecured the place of naturalist for the expedition, When he got back to England he began to elaborate his voyage notes with a series of books on botany, travel, geology, &o. But his chief work for the next twenty years was the shaping of his theorles on evolution. Most peoplo think Darwin invented the Theory of I ‘on. He did not. In 1801—eight years before Darwin was born—Lamarck published @ book that doalt crudely with the same theme, hinting that animals and humans of modern times are not ike their earlier ancestors, but have developed in the course of the ages into higher and nobler types. Darwin took this theory and expanded it and improved on {t—even as Shakespeare treated the story plots of lesser authors—until he made it his own, And after nearly a quarter century of tireless research he published his wong .ful book on “Origin of Species.” It was the crowning effort of his life. On it he rested his claim to greatness, Lis statemonts are nowadays accepted as ordinary facts, But at that time they roused a whirlwind of dissent. Aire “Not eines Galileo showed that the earth moves A Whielwind i aroand the eun,” saya Bolton, “has a man been 60 of Ferecoutlen 3 censured and perstouted for Mle opinions Of! Wid Darwin, Hoe was attacked from every quarter.” It was the black hour of failure. And Darwin bore it bravely, still sticking to his beliefs and continuing to expound them in new books, but refusing to argue with his persecutors or to defend himself against their assaults. And presently the tide turned. Little by little people began to realize that this muoh-abused genius had revolutionized ecience, and that he wae one of the world’s foremost thinkers. A rush of praise, even more ve- hement than his earlier disgrace, followed. And Darwin received his belated honors with the same calm fMdifference as he had greeted his ill-treatment.

OW are you feeling this morn- “cs ing, better?" asked Mr. Jarr olicitously. Mra, Jarr had been under the weather with a bad cold, and this added to her depression over the foggy beginning of what looked to be @ most imperfect day. “Oh, much you care how I feel!” sniffled Mrs. Jarr, using her hand- kerchief a la Jane Cowl, for a woman weeps by the nose, it would seem, (Listen! the reason for this has been discovered. A reddened nose may be powdered back to {ts pristine beauty, but what good ts talcum to reddened eyes?) ow, you know I care, dearte,” sald Mr, Jarr in @ tone to show that he was hurt. “That's all very well for you to say, but I know you don't mean {t,” retorted mournful Mrs. Melancholy. “But my back aches; I ache all over. 1 just know I have neuritis,” “New what?" asked Mr. Jurr, “Well, rheumatism then,” sald Mra. Jarr, “Everybody calls it neuritis now, I've tried everything for it, but nothing seems to do me any good. Ob, well, when I am gone you will marry again and forget me, and my poor children will be neglected. Oh, dear! Ob, dear!” Mr. Jarr knew there was only one way to divert his good lady's mind | from such dire reflections. This way was to talk of remedies. When the | talk 1s of remedies, sufferings and sorrowful reflections are forgotten. “There was a man in the office the | other day, a queer character, selling snake oll,” Mr. Jarr interrupted, "He ING tho dogs of war" more than a metaphoric ion, for dogs have ul part in the struggle | The great dogs of ie| nations. ans are used to draw machine at the! cong and in other Nght transport | imbers of them who went to war when the Ger- 1 the little Kingdom are long with their masters, Helgan soldiers stil ba oted — servitors one y comrades-—-who have it all and are war i by the Red Cross to wounded, and they | von valuable aid in| y.
