But this Is not all. Prof. Tyndall claims
thst there Is q great deal more in this
mysterious and unIathomsble something
which we call matter, than hss been
hitherto allowed; he sees in 1t "the prom.
ises and potency oi every form and quail.
ty OF liie." Much horror has been ex.
pressed at this statement, but the expires.
sions seem 10 Us quite grstuitous. We
should Ike 10 know what form or quality
Of life there iH, that Is not manifested in
matter, and is not, therefore, to be ranked
among Its potentialitiss. All living
things are material things; all organized
creatures are constituted Of material ele-
ments; and, throughout the scale OF life,
vital, chemical, and physical powers are
correlated in inextricable complication,
and displayed through substrstum OF
ponderable constituents. OF the sixty
odd chemical elements, four are chiefly
concerned in the maintenance oil life; they
constitute the mass oil all living things,
and have long been classified as orodno9enS
generators Of organization. The mnta.
tIons Of these elements involve the cycles
of life. Earth, ses, and air, are filled
with myraids Of vital forms, and though
countless millions ol years the earth has
swarmed with them, while whole rocky
systems are made up Of their material
remnants. When the microscope was in.
v ented, and the frontiers Of old observA-
u on were crossed, new world Of lie was
discovered; and, as the powers OF the in
strument were improved, minuter Great
ures were disclosed, grade after grade, IN.
I'll organisms were found not the millionth
OF an inch 10 diameter. Those who deny
spontaneous generation, or that living
beings are directly engendered out OF mat.
ter, are only able 70 do so by prolonging
their visions beyond the sensible evidence,
and assuming that Nature Is per-
vaded by infinitely tenuous, inscru-
table, though still material life germs.
But whatever the processes by which
Nature breaks into this muluIudlnous life

that all three Republican Congressmen

ST. PAUL, November Sup to mid
night the returns received do not vary
as TO the result in the First and Second

very doubtful In this county. Ramsey
gives 1900 majority against him, and IN.
less the frontier counties come in with q
large vote, he Is defeated. Two years
ago county gave Averll, Republican, 9
small mjority. There have been Demo.
cratic gains in many directions, but the
Republicans believe they hsve carried
the Leglslsturer. Farther than Rsmsey's
election to the United States Senate, II is
impossible to obtain any more definite
results.

dates for the State Legislature IN this
