Excerpt from Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 115: November, 1929

Now comes a likely answer, in experiments indicating that radium and X-rays can produce marked changes in a Species from one, generation to the next, and in the well-considered theory advanced by eminent scientists that these rays, as well as the cosmic rays from outer space, may actually be the cause and motive power of evolution.

This new conception of life - that it evolves in response to penetrating baths of energy from the Unknown - marks a profound advance in scientific thought concerning the origin and destiny of man. More than that, if the evidence of recent experiments is established, it may mean that the whole doc trine of evolution itself will evolve.
