POTATO BUG EXPERIMENTS Tour Demonstrations Which Are Said to be of World-Wide Importance Believes Evolution of Animals in Gen eral Has Been Continuous and Direct. AFTER BLACK HAND Organization to Crush Out Italian Secret Societies. WILL EXAMINE IMMIGRANTS fSuecessful Brigands Come From Sicily and Southern Italy and Are Made the Leaders by Their Uneducated Country menItalian Detective Gets Busy. CHICAGO, Jan. 3 Prof. TV. L. Tower, f the University of Chicago, who has been working on a new theory of evolu tion to supplant those of De Vries and Darwin, brought before the Scientists f the American Association for the advancement of Science in the Zoo logogy laboratory of the University yes terday his experiments and conclusions readied with the potato bug. With many aires and colors of leptinotarsa, of which the potato bug is one form the scientist made a series of four demonstrations which were said to beof world-wide importance. Prof. Tower has been ex perimenting with the potato bug for ver 12 years, having studied in Mexico, 'Arizona, Xew Mexico and in his own laboratory. He lias taken it from one place to another, transplanted it from the highlands to the lowlands of Mexico and has chanped its environment in every particular. His conclusion is that evolution has taken wholly by mutation, nor by natu ral election. "I am of the opinion that the evolu tion of the genus leptinotar-a and of animals in general has been continuous and direct, developing new species and migrating races by direct response to the conditions of existence. Officers of the American Association for the advancement of science were elected as follows: Thos. Chamberlain, president, University of Chicago; vice Hresident, C. E. finth, University of Iowa; L. Kathenhurjr, University of Wisconsin; F. Swain, Institute of Tech joToyy of Massachusetts; Bailey Willie, V. P. Geological Survey, Washington C. J. Herrick, University of Chicago H. Richards.

Reports reaching Koine, says a special to the Time?, are to the effect that severe earthquake hocks visited Cape Prince of Wales R,,T,,i!ir The shake lasted two minutes and immense quantities of rock- were loosened from the cliffs. The na tives and whites were much alarmed. The Alaskan coast ha lieen visited by manv seismic convulsions the past year Because of the inaccessibility of the ieene, details are lacking. NEW YORK. Jan. 3 A plan, world wide in its scope, to crush out ' the Black Hand, Mafia and like organiza tions has been devised of the Joseph Petrosoni head of the Italian branch of the local detective bureau. Petrosoni has established correspondence with heads of the police departments in Rome and other Italian cities and through them will learn whenever a brigand or blackmailer has left the country sup posedly for America. He has establish ed similar connections with the police of Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Den ver, San Francisco and New Orleans and many smaller cities, and in this man ner the local police expect to keep track of the leaders of groups and cliques in this country. Lieutenant Petrosoni is aiding in the organization of a national body of Italian-Americans, 'which pro poses to appeal to Congress to pass an immigration law to cause a more care ful examination of immigrants from Sicily and South Italy. "Manv undesirable citizens, men known as successful brigands in Sicily and Southern Italy are permitted to en ter America," Lieu. Petrosoni said yes terday. "Tbey should be kept out. When thev reach America the are ad mired and made leaders by the unedu cated of their kind and soon are again at their old game of murder and black mail. "This can only lie stamped out by driving as many of them as possible out. An everage Sicilian is afrtiin of this persecution." ORDERED TO CHILE. VICTORIA, Jan. 3.-H. M. S.

Tour grocer rc'.urnt your money f rou doo'l to Schilling's E!; we pay him The dog is no doubt the most Intelli gent of our domestic aulmals, and I yield to noue iu my affection for him. I can almost eat and sleep with a fine dog winter and summer. But I try not to deceive myself about his Intelli gence. It seems to me that if the dog had the least spark of wit akin to our own-that is, power of reason-his long association with man would have fanned it into a flame, however small. But after all these thousand of years of human companionship and love he has less wit iu some respects than hi;? wild brothers, the for and the wolf. Having been spared the strugglo to live that falls to their lot. his cunning and sagacity have deterio rated. The name Is true of the borne, which lias less Intelligence thaj the wild trillion of the plains and for the same reason. These animals do not grow wiser us they gvow less wild. They do not civi lize or develop. We train them into certain ways that make them service able to us; we humanize them without ndding to their mental capacity.
