Are stones AIive2

A few weeks ago The Saturday Republic
gave the results Of some startling experiments
~ Mr., Mason Kline, Of California, in which
hat gentleman laid claim to having discov
red sex in mineral atoms. From the follow
ing it will be seen that e. d. Walker, the
scientist and writer, anticipated the Pacific
slope philosopher by about two years The
extract given below is from an article by
Mr. Walker written in.1Ss7:
ave generally think of minerals as dead
Jumps Of inactive matter. But they may
truthfully be said TO be alive, creatures OF
vital pulsations and separated into individu-
ais as distinct as the pines in a forest or tigers
ia Jungle. The dispositions OF crystals are
as diverse as those Of animals They throb
With unseen currents Of energy. They grow
in size as long as they have opportunity
They can be killed, too, though not as easily
as an oak or a dog.
"a strong electric current discharged
through a crystal will decompose it very
rapidly if it be Of soft structure causing the
particles to gradually disintegrate in the re-
verse order TO its growth, until the poor thing
lies dead, shapeess ruin. 1t is true the
crystals life is unlike that Of higher crea-
lures. But the difference between vegetable
and animal life is no greater than that be-
tween mineral and vegetable life. Linn@us,
The great Swedish naturalist, defined the
three great kingdoms by saying: Stones
grow, plants grow and feel, animals grow
and feel and move.
While Walker mentions nothing Of sex in
stones it is plain that his ideas respecting
them were identical with the wonderful
truths Mr.. Kline thinks he has demonstrated
in bis microscopical researches. st. Louis

just what motive actuated the Demo
cratic members who voted to officially re.
lieve Chief Swiggett of stigma and dis
grace he brought upon himself no one
knows.
1t is erroneous to say that the action
of the Council has relieved Chief Swig
gett Of the stigma aud the disgrace Of
that sandwich transaction. He merely
declines to acknowledge that he receives
the Doodle. The Doodle is there and IL
must go to somebody. The Council pays
1896 90 on afiidavits from Chief Swig-
gett while the sandwiches cost one
half, $l82 So Chief swiegstt knows
his affidavit is wrong now
and the Council and the citizens in
general know that there is $l32 80 float
ing around somewhere in defiance Of the
stigma and disgrace" which has not
been removed or condoned The plea Of
contract is fudge and nonsense. There
is not merchant 10 Wilmington who
would have contemplated the payment Of
such an account for a moment. Chief
Swiggett defended himself at first
on the plea Of ignorance and innocence,
Now his defence is "a contract This

morals among city officials, humiliating to
contemplate

An Expensive entertainment.

The most notable entertainment, without
exception, ever given at the executive man
sion where refreshments were served was
that to the diplomatic corps in February,
1881, at the close of the Hayes administration.
There had passed before the president and
Mrs. Hayes 1000 persons by actual count.
OF this number A, 500 partook Of the lavish
refreshments served. There were two large
wine barrels Of terrapin prepared and served.
Over ], 800 loaves of bread and $50 hams were
made into sandwiches. There were nearly
1000 quarts Of cream furnished. Nearly 400
chickens were used in salads Over $50 gal
Ions of coffee and great tanks of lemonade
were consumed There were cakes and con-
fections without stint.
The steward Of the household, w. T.
Crump, who managed this enormous CASTRO
nomic campaign, had a small army Of men
and women in the kitchen. A supply Of
$500 clean plates was kept constantly on
hand and required ten dish washers There
were seven cooks IN the kitchen and fifty
walters employed in serving the guests. The
actual cost Of this single entertainment was
| S6,000 although no wines were served, which
was more than has ever been expended by
any president for state dinners during
whole administration. The jam was unpar-
alleled, owing to senators and others abusing
the executive hospitality by bringing as
many as ten ladies on the card designed only
to include the ladies of their families - Wash

The Desperate Rivalry Between the
Massey and Higgins Factions in Kent.
The Dover correspondent Of the Phila--
delphia Record writes that while the Re
publicans are working together in har-
mony as far as making up the lists and
paving negro taxes are concerned, they
are by no means harmonious on the ques-
ton Of selecting candidate for governor.
Kent county is supposed to furnish the
man this year, and the anti. Higgins fac
ton. which is led by George " Massey,
the Pennsylvania Railroad attorney, is
trying to have Joseph r. Whitaker In
stalled as the nominee over Harry A..
Richardson, the choice Of the Higgins
element
Joseph r. Whitaker is an old bachelor,
who has made about a million dollars in
Philadelphia, where he has resided for
some forty years, although a native Of
this county He is a member of the
Union League Club Of Phiiadel phia and
was one OF the original founders of that
institution. He has brought large sums
of money down here, and this winter, es.
pecially. mas been using it freely to pay
negro taxes. He is a warm friend of
George " Massey, and in the event OF
his nomination and election, Massey
would run the affairs of State
Ii. A. Richardson, the other candidate,
is the son Of State Senator A. b. Rich
ardson, the wealthy Gamer and hotel
proprietor OF this town. The former is
associated with his father in business.
He was opposed to Massey in the contest
last year, and hence is not loved by the
latters followers, although very popular
with theRepuhlican voters Of the two lower
counties he will make good run for the
nomination. and is one Of the most
popular men in the state.

A DOGS nrurderons Rsvsnrs.

A correspondent Of The London Field re-
lates the following instance Of canine retri-
button which came under his notice: Two
shepherds on the North Derbyshire moors,
living in adjoining cottages far removed from
any other dwelling had each a dog Of the cur
breed that were sisters. One Of these gave
birth a few weeks ago to a litter Of FIVE
whelps, and all seemed to go well with them
until the 2sth of last month On that day, in
the early morning, the mother Of the pups
was in the yard eating her breakfast when
the sister appeared on the scene. An attempt
was made by the intruder to share the meal.
This was resented by a snarl and growl,
which failed to drive OFF the hungry sister,
and again she essayed to appease her appe-
tite, when she was fercely attacked and SCI
verely mauled, and went limping away howl
ing with pain. About an hour after this in
cident the owner Of the cur with a family
went on his round Of inspection, taking his
dog along with him. Their departure would
appear 10 have been noticed by the van
pushed sister, for about an hour afterwards
she stealthily made her way to the stable
wherein were the whelps before named, and
worried them all. Having accomplished this
terrible revenge, she proceeded to carry off
her victims to a place Of concealment, but
was caught in the act by one Of the shep-
herds children.
