CELL THEORY OF ANIMAL LIFE AND
DEATH.

In a critical review of the germ theory
of disease, printed in the Popular Science
MonthIy. Professor Cradle compares the
animal body to vast colony OF cells, the
ultimate elements of life. Each tissue, he
saws, be it bone, muscle, liver or brain, Is
made up of cells of its own kind, peculiar
to and Characteristic of the tissue. Each
cell represents an element living by itself,
but capable of continuing its life only by
the aid it gets from other cells. By means
of the blood vessels and the nervous system
the different cells of the body are put into
a state of mutual connection and depend.
ence. The animal system resembles IN this
way a republic, in which each citizen de-
ponds upon Others for protection, subsist.
ence, and the supply of the requisites OF
daily life. Accustomed as each citizen Is
to this mutual interdependence, he could
not exist without it. Each citizen OF this
animal colony, each cell, can thrive only
as long as the conditions persist to which
it is adapted. These conditions comprise
the proper supply of food and oxygen, the
necessary removal of the waste products
formed by the chemical activity of all
parts of the body, the protection
against external mechanical forces and
temperature, as well as number
of minor details. Any interference with
these conditions of life impairs the normal
activity of the entire body, or, as the case
may be, of the individual cells concerned.
But the animal system possesses the means
of resisting damaging influences. Death
or inactivity of one or a few cltlzeDs does
not disable the State. The body is not
vsul rigid piece of mechanism that the
freaksge of one wheel can arrest the action
of the whole. Within certain limits, any
damage done to individual groups Of cells
can be repaired by the compromising pow
ers of the organism. 1t is only when this
compromising faculty fails, when the body
cannot successfully resist an unfavorable
influence, that a disturbance arises which
we call disease. This definition enables US
to understand how external violence, i'm
proper or insufficient food. pOisonz, and
other unaccustomed influences, can pro-
duce disease But modern research has
rendered it likely that the diseases due to
such causes are not so numerous as the al
fections produced by invasion of the body
by parasites. OF these few are known to
be animals-for instance, the trichina, and
some worms found in the blood in certain
rare diseases. But the bulk OF the hosts
we have to contend with is Of vegetable
nature, and belongs to the lowest order OF

The SIREN PoG-HoRE.

The Zuvder Zee was recently the scene
of some interesting experiments with Pro-
lessor Holmes Siren fog-horn. Two steam
vessels, the one the Z9alaw, belonging to
the Netherland Royal Steamship Company,
and the other, the Hollandia, were each
fitted with one Of the fog-horns, which
though well. known in our navy, have up to
the present time been used by the Dutch
Government as lighthouses fog signals only.
The object of the experiments was to ascer-
tain If q small apparatus operated by
steam could be used advantageouslY at sea
for signaling on the Morse system OF dot
and dash. Tne two vessels left Rotterdam
at 10 A. NJ, and, after passing through the
sluice gates, and entering the Zuyder Zee,
the smaller of the two ships ceased steam
ing, while the larger put out to sea. Tele-
graph clerks were employed to manipulate
the apparatus, and although the distance
eventually became 80 great that each vessel
was invisible to those on hoard the other,
yet the signals reached the ear distinctly.
and were at once read off and understood.
The unusual and unexpected sounds caused
the Captain OF Sn outward. bound steamer,
the Willem Ill, to suppose the Zwalaw
was in distress, and to hasten to her assist
ance. Upon getting alongside and ascer-
tanning the true cause of the noise, he made
no secret of his disgust, and steamed away
at full speed. After experimenting for
about FIVE hours, at distances varying from
one to FIVE miles, the signal "Come to us -
was given from the Zwalaw, to which the
Hollandia replied, 1--WE come" and was
soon seen stesming toward her consort.
There were present Mr. Reeringh. Of the
Marine Department; Colonel Stephens,
Director of the Navy Yard, and the repre-
sentatives of the various steamship com.
panies. The results of the trials were con.
sidered to be in every way satisfactory,
and to demonstrate the possibility Of one
vessel communicating intelligence to the
other at sea, although separated by a con
siderable distance. Il London Times.

STRANGE PHENoMENA.-In Polk county,
Neb.. are many wells which exhibit pecu.
liar phenomena of intermittence. They
vary from 100 to 40 feet in depth, and
ebb md flow irregularly. The flow is &C.
companied by roaring sound like that of
the sea, as though distant wave were com
ing, and at the same time q current of air
issues out of the mouth. The ebb is ac-
compsnied by draft OF air downward.
The period of ebb and flow does not ap-
pear to depend upon heat or cold, upon the
dampness or dryness of the atmosphere,
upon the season of the year, or upon the
time of day, but, on the other hand, seems
to be in some way connected with the di-
rection of wind. The farmers think that
the water bearing level is identical with
that of the water of the Platte river, which
bounds on the north those counties in
which the wells are situated.
