BETTER UP THAN DOWN.
LODGE ON EVOLUTION. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 4. In the "Daily News," Sir Oliver Lodge, referring to Professor Keith's address to the British Association defending the Darwin theory, said: "Lowly ancestry is better than angelic, as it would be depressing to think that man had descended from an angelic state. Scientists are like blinkered horses. I am not blinkered and see roadside things. The scientists miss seeing the spiritual world and psychic phenomena. The human body is an evolutionised animal, but if we hare an animal, we have also a divine ancestry. We are not the highest beings of creation; only the liighest on this planet."—(Sydney "Sun.")
