DARWINISM DEFENDED
BY SIR ARTHUR ΚΕΙΤΗ
PROOF OF EVOLUTION?
Bir Ambrosa Fleming's attack on the Darwinian theory, previous ly reported, was discussed by Sir Arthur Keith, the famous no- thropologist, in an interview in the Hall of the Bucketone. Browne Research Farm, of which hols Master.
"My friend Sir Ambroso Flem- ̈ ing is so gracious a person, and we are so much attached that I hesitate to set up against his opin- ions other viawn which 1 know to be the truth," was Sir Arthur's frat remark, anys a Daily Telegraph correspondent.
Sir Ambrose had said that the Darwinian theory "was the pro- duct of imagination"; that "the Resurrection was one of the most cortainly attested facts of history, and that consequently it certified all previous miracles.
Sir Arthur Kaith, asked if we have any Borious proof of the evolution of modern man from an animal stock, replied, speaking slowly and deliborately:"Dar- win's proof of Evolution, announc- ed in the 'Descent of Man' over 60 years ago, was ao conclusivo that no biologist since has been able to overthrow it. It has been confirmed by every discovery made since which extends the antiquity of man.
ANTIQUITY OF MAN

He forgats, too, the various colours of the human race-the whites, blacks, browna, yellows. These have not become so differ- ont in the last 6,000 years,

tion that goos on and on in this world of ours."
"Sir Ambrose asks," said the Interviewer, "why are astonishing powers and faculties found in man and totally absent in the collateral animal, the ape?
"He cannot answer that; neither can I," Sir Arthur Keith replied, "I do not know. Why is a Sir Ianac Newton born in one family and an idiot in another? What light has Sir Ambrose to throw on that?
ANIMALS AND MAN
"We presume the law of gravity to keep the world together; we presume evolution to explain the differences between animals and
man. There is, of course, a strong anatomical relationship between
the two."
"NO RESTORATION OF LIFE
POSER FOR MUSEUM
GIFT FILM NOT TO BE SHOWN
CAN THE BAN BE
-OVERCOME?
The British Musoum Trustees have been placed in a quandary by conditions attached to one of the most recent gifts.
It is a film depicting the life of the Worora tribe, of North-West Australia, and has been presented by Mr. H. R. Balfour.
The tribe is one of the most primitive in the world. It lives as if it were in the Stone Age. The film shows native dances, rituals, ceremonies, and the rudo arts and crafts of the aborigines. Its in- terest and value aro unique.
The difficulty of the Museum Trustees is to make full use of the gift. The Australian Government regulations relating to Govern- ment "reserves"-the tribe lives in one of them-forbid the commercial use of any film taken in a "reserve."
That rules out the possibility of the film being shown to the public on payment of a small admission charge, the profits to go to the purchase of new Museum acquisi tions.
Then the qucation arises whether the film could very well be shown
in the Museum, even it a suitable room is found in which to project
It.
It is possible that the film may be shown in some hall outside the Museum, and that only scientific audiences will have the advantage of seeing it.
At present it les in an unopened cylinder.
SOME RECENT ACQUISITIONS.
Another 'curious acquisition an- nounced by the Trustees recently was a couple of carved wooden ceremonial staves from the Toba Battaks of Sumatra. Theno staves were used in rain-making cere monies, at which the natives dance round them to the accompaniment of weird cries.
A Roman head of marble, which may be a portrait of the Emperor Vespasinn, who lived in the first contury A.D., has been found near. Colchester, and is now nt the Museum,
Other antiquities recently ac- quired include nine English gold coins, unique varieties of Edward III.'s coinage, and a London Unite of Charles II., from punches used for Aberyswyth..
The Christy Trustees have pre- sented a small but select series of carly Mayan potteries and atotie objects from Salvador, Costa Rica, and the west coast of Guatemala.
