LITTLE HENNlE'S WILD Run.

Part of a Cable Car system.

Part of a Cable Car System.
Little Henry Atenberg, who lives
with his parents at the corner of West
Madison street and Western avenue.
Chicago, nearly lost his life as the re-
suit of a scientific experiment which he
had carried beyond the bounds of per
sonal safety.
Since the new street car cable on
Madison street has been running chill
dren have discovered that a strong cur
rent of air is continually working down
through the slit in the road. Acting on
this discovery many of them have
amused themselves tying piece of paper
at one end of string and an old tomato
can or similar article at the other. Lay
ing the piece of paper on the slit, they
soon had the satisfaction Of seeing il dis
appear under ground. where the string
became wound around the cable, and in
a moment or two their delight would
be intensified by seeing the tomato can
go rafting down the street.
Little Henry Altenberg, however. is
of a reflective turn, and he figured it out
that if he tied a rope around his waist
he would be able TO stop the cable when
the slack Of the line would be hauled
taut, as the lake mariners say. Other
boys might fssten cans TO the creeping
cable. but such advertisement was too
tame for him.
Running up to his mothers rooms at
SOB West Madison street. he quietly and
without ostentSuon took the cord from
the family bed. Fastening it about his
middle he tied to the other end a piece
of paper. Running down into abe street
he dangled the paper into the cable tun-
mel His scientific ideas had been well
conceived. The currents Of air that
swished down the dark passage whirled
the paper about until the rope wound
round and round the cable. Then his
wild career began.

IT'S EoURIsHMENT.

In living sponge this perpetual and
unceasing circulation of water proceeds.
This is the sole evidence the unsssisted
sight receives of the vitality of the sponge
colony, and the Importance of this cir
culation in aiding life in these depths to
be fairly carried out cannot readily be
overestimated.
Let us now see how this circulation is
maintained. MicroscOpicslly regarded,
we see here and there, in the sides Of the
sponge passages, little air chambers or
recesses, which remind one Of the pass
ing places in narrow canal. Lining
these chambers we see living sponge
units of a type different from the shape
less specks we noted TO occur in the
meshes Of the sponge substance itself.
The units Of the recesses each consist Of
living particle, whose free extremity is
raised int kind Of collar, from which
projects a lashlike filament@ known rs a
fagellum. This Lash is IN constant
movement. 1t waves to and fro In the

THE LIFE OF A SPONGE.
ITS DEVELOPMENT FROM ARTICLES
OF PRoToPLAsM.

How the Work Of Nutrition Il Carried
On-Peculiar Characteristics of very
:, Common Article-A Familiar SCIENTIFIC
Talk by n Noted Man.
First Of all we may note that sponge,
as we know it In common life, Is the
horny skeleton or framework which was
made by and which supported the hv-
ing parts. These living parts consist of
minute masses of that living jelly to
which the name of protoplasm has been
applied. This, in truth, is the universal
matter Of life. 1t is the one substance
with which hfeeverywhere is associated,
and as we see it simply in the sponge, so
also we behold it (only in moro complex
guise) in the man.
Now the living parts of this dried,
castaway sponge were found both in its
interior and ON Its surface. They lined
the canals that everywhere permeste the
sponge like substance, and microscopic
examination has told us a great deal
about their nature. For whether found
in the canals Of the sponge themselves or
imbedded in the sponge substance. the
living sponge PARTICLES are represented
each by neutrality-suspicious. of proto-
plasm. Sothat the first view l would have
you take of the sponge as living mass is
that it is colony and not single unit.
1t is composed, in other words, Of aggre-
gated masses of living PARTICLES which
bud out one from the other and manufac-
ture the supporting skeleton we know as
"the sponge of commerce" itself.

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.


Under the microscope these living
sponge units appear in various guises and
shapes Some of them are formless, and,
as to shape, ever altering masses, resem-
bling that familiar animalcule of our
pools we know as the amnba. The
members of the sponge colony form the
bulk of the population. They are i'm
bedded in the sponge substance; they
wander about through the meshes of the
sponge; they seize food and flourish and
grow; and they probably give origin to
the eggs" from which pew sponges are
in due course produced.
More characteristic, however. are GER
tain units of this living sponge colony
which hvein the lining membrane of the
canals. In point of fact, sponge is a
kind Of Venice, certain proportion of
whose inhabitants, like the famous queen
of the Adriatic herself, lived on the
banks of the waterways Just as in
Venice we find provisions for the deni-
zens of the city brought 20 the inhabi-
tants by the canals, SO from the water,
which, as we shall see, 10 perpetually cir
culating through sponge, the members
of the sponge colony receive their food.
Look at a sponge fragment. You per-
ceive half dozen large holes or so, each
opening on little eminence, as it were
These apertures, bear in mind, we call
oscula. They are the exits of the sponge
dominion. But close inspection of a
sponge shows that it is riddled with finer
and smaller apertures. These latter are
the pores, and they form the entrances
to the sponge domain. On the banks Of
the canal you may see growing plenti-
fully in summer time a green sponge
which is the common fresh water spe-
cies.
Now if you drop living specimen Of
this species into bowl of water, and put
some powdered indigo into the water,
you may note how the currents are per
petually being swept in by the pores and
out by the oscula.

the breast sliced off, the stomach

mony. Mr.. Giles afIirms that "a slirht
cash only is made across each collar

and that decapitation follows without
delay" But in the only case where I
have heard of a foreign witness tho pro-
w now mnCl
moro nearly to tho legal prescription
than to this assumption. But methods
OF execution seem to be occasionally
employed, at least in the South, which
find no sanction in the code. Cases
have come under tho notice of foreign
crs of death by crucifiXion, and of tho
Victim being suspended by the neck in
Il cage in such way that he can only
touch the ground with tho tips of his
toes, and being left to die of starva-
ton. Such proceedings are, however,
distinctly illcgal-survivals, probably,
of an ago when Chinese rule and
Chinese civilization, which havc radi-
ated from the North, wero less firmly
established. So that, whatever tho
law, tho usual practice in a given rc-
gion would seem to be materially in
hucnced by local popular opinion; ono
who would gcncralizc from experience

thirty years has been saying to the bal
ance of the world: "Of course you can
buy of me-but not sell to me. Ger
tainly not. I must use my profits to
build up home market. must have
a home as well as foreign market"
But the tables are turned and the
foreign merchant and manufacturer
now says: ''Buy from you? Oh, no.
We buy from those who will take our
goods in exchange. A market wherein
we can sell as well as buy we have
found and developed in Australia,
India and South America. We thought
you had a monopoly uf the fertile lands
