Because his was too long, the fa mous French author, Cyrano de Ber gerae, was forced Into fighting more than 600 duels to maintain his honor and that of his lengthy proboscis. Because hers was tho right length. Cleopatra was made beautiful enough to direct the destinies of whole na tions. Had it been shorter. Blaise Pascal once said, the whole face of tho earth would have been changed. And because his was a trifle bul bous, like that of a ring-scarred boxer, the eminent naturalist. Charles Darwin, was almost prevented from giving tha world his "revolutionary doctrine of the "Survival of the Fit test" which changed the entire face of human history. DarWin Was a laid nf 99 whan ha obtained a chance, in December, 1831. to son with a British surveying es pedltlon aboard the shin "Beaale' as naturalist. All went wall until Captain Fit-Roy, commander of the ship, got a good look at Darwin's nose. Captain Fit-Roy, believing himself vorsed In the ability to read char, acter from superficial evidence, ad duced Darwin had neither the men tality nor the energy to become a good scientist. Only after much per suasion was the young lad permitted to sal). This Incident, strange as It seems was a turning point In Darwin's life and an important factor In the development of world history. For the next five years Darwin visited many countries, studying wlttf In tense eagerness the slight differences - HtNa&fU'ft'ldtaMa.lM, S'i2'3Q in life form which he noted every where. From these observations Darwin was able to build the framework of his famous theories on evolution which he expressed many years later in the great work, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races In the Struggle for Life." A new outlook on history was born; the law of the survival of the fittest was written Into history. On the day Darwin's book was first Issued, the entire edition of 1.250 copies was sold out. Never before had such conclusive evidence been presented for the case of evolution. Tomorrow: Can Cannon Be Heard as Far as Thunder? Jenne Appointed Athletic Director PORTLAND, May 13.
