The wrltlnes of Malthus rave
rise to the well discussed problem
of world starvation, aMde from
this thesis however the Mallhus-
lsn doctrine developed other Inter
esting sidelines for it - was Mai
tliua who inspired another young
man of his time to likewise cre
ate another controversy In an en
tirely different line of thought. It
was the essay written by the Rev.
T. R. Malthus, "On the Prin
ciple of Population," that gave
Charles Darwin a key for his con
troversial work, "The Oriiln of
Species." Malthus first published
his work in' 1798 while Darwin's
work appeared in 1838.
Seven years eer'ler, on the J7lh
ol December 1831. to be exact,
the H M 8 Beagle, "of 235 tons
rigged as s barque, and carrying
six guns." slipped from her moor
ings in Devonporl harbor bent upon
an expedition of world exploration
No one was thinking of the "Ori
gin of Species" on this occesion
snd least, of sll the young Cam
bridge graduate. Charles Darwin,
who wss sctlng in the role of na
turalist for the expedition.
Darwin was the son of a wealthy
physician who looked with s much
jaundiced eye upon his son's ac
tivities, at least his father Is quo!
ed: "You care for nothing but
shooting, dogs, snd rat-catching
and will be a disgrace to yourself
and all your family."
On the last day of February 1833
the Beagle reached South America
and Darwin, Just entering his twen.
ty-fourth yesr of life, stepped
ashore on a continent which was
destined to raise serious but se
cret doubts in his mind concern
ing the origin of living things.
He was not a naturalist who was
content merely to collect speci
mens, to note nablts, to chart dis
tributions, or to write accurate de
scriptions of what he found; he
never could restrain his mind from
searching Into the reason of things.
Questions were ever rising In his
mind. "
Why should those glsnt fossil
animals he dug from recent geo
logical strata be so akin to the
little armour-plated armadillos he
found still alive in the same place?
Why was it, as he psssed from
district to district, he found the
one species was replaced by an
other near akin to it?
Did every species of animal and
plant remain Just as It was cre
ated, aa was believed by every
respectable man known to him?
Oi, did each and all of them
change, as tome greatly daring
sceptics nna alleged?
In due course, after surveying
many uncharted coasts, the Bea
file reached the Oalanaios Islands.
Jive hundred miles to the west of
Bouth America. Here Darwin's

doubt became strengthened ano
his belief In orthodoxy shaken.
Why was It thst in those Wands
living things should not be Just

yet so closelv alike?
And why should each of the Is

1837. Darwin was working- diligent
ly upon his "Journsl snd Reports."
Nevertheless, he was de'ermlned
at the same time to resolve those
Illicit doubts wMch had been raised
by his observations in South Amer

was to risk becoming a social out
cast but for Darwin, to run away
from truth was to be condemned
by his conscience as a moral cow
ard.
The facts he had observed In
South America merely raised his
suspicions. They suggested to him
thst animals and plants might be'
come, in the court of time, so
changed as to form new species.
At first these thoughts were sus
plclons, but as he proceeded to
collect evidence in London, the sus
picions deepened. More particular
ly was this the esse when he in
vestigated the methods used by
animal breedera to product new
varieties of pigeons, fowls, dogs,
cattle snd -horses.
He soon realized that for the cre
ation of a new domestic breed.
two factors were necessary first
there must be a breeder or aeleo
tor, and second, the animals, ex
perimented on must have In them
tendency to vary in a desired
direction.
Olven those two factors, a new
breed, having all the external ap
pearances of new species, could
be produced at will. '
Having satisfied himself on this
point, he turned again to animals
and plants living in a state of na
ture snd found that they too tend'
ed to vary, "But where," ht had
to ask himself, "la nature's selec
tor or breedcrf"
At this point In his thinking he
happened to resd the work of Mal

means of lite.
Darwin added that nature se
lects the individuals which vary
in the most successful direction.
The Ides that living things had
been evolved hid been held by
many men before Darwin came
on the scene; It was already known

Income may be up. all right, but
if we have only a four day work

awful lot of free time to spend

expensive proposition. Seems to
me that even thougii v.f boost tne
