It uUy the micro coplsts hay add· ed tb Ir might to th controversy, and til ir t timony com with th rnO t d ided ring of authority of any yet given on th ubj ct. The rnlcroscop-i ts say that "micro·organisms have th Ir lite history and morphological characteristics ju t detlnltely as the hJgb r organisms," and that "micro-or· gaoi ms retain their individuality of 8p1jcies and do not chang into acb other." If the statements are tru (and the experience of th m Icroscopi t.I thus far c nHrm th m) they are wholly incompatible with the truth of ths tbe ory of volution. When a biologist sows a pure culture of on speci be invariably obtains a growth of that specie and of DO other; 80 that the an· nounc ment of 'acred Writ as to tb kinds bringing forth aftt>r their kind applies equally well to the micro-organ' j ros and tbe higber forms of animal life.

'fhe above appears in the ToledO Collegian. Evidently the writer is en· tirely unfamiliar botb with the tbeory of evolution and with the commonest fact concerning the d velopment of higber forms of life a well as with the work of the Bacteriologist. In the first place a "purs culture" means no more to lhe microscopist than a paper of cabbage eed, and that alone, does ~IJ th farmer. When cabbage seed is own the farmer expect.'! and as a mat·

ter of fact does obtain only cabbage, but the cabbage of our gardens to·day i 0 different from the uncultivated plant tbat on would not su peet it of belonging to the same speci . All this change ha been brought about within a few years, comparatively speaking, and is the r lilt of changing the environts of the plan~.

Equally great changes can be pro· duced upon the common mould in a few days by the proper c~llivation of it spores.
