Prof. Moore talked at chapel, Earl
ham College, Thursday morning. on
"Vivisection. He said he was thor
oughly in sympathy with the Humane
Society because when men become hu-
name toward animals they would soon
learn to be humane toward human be-
ings. He does not believe it is wrong
to put frog under the influence OF
chloroform and place it under micro
scope in order to learn about circuIa
ton and something that will prolong
human life He does believe that this
naval vivisection of Chinese and Japa-
nese is wrong. He read and heartily
approved an article in the Nation which
said that the reason the war
In the East was approved
by the nations of the
world was that the naval officer might
see how q modern navy would do in &C
ton. All the naval officers of the
world looked eagerly to the Yalu river
fight for confirmation of their ideas
and thanked their stars that the expert
ment was tried by lot of heather
Chinese and Japanese. 1t really looked
like q gathering round vivisection
In conclusion he quoted from the
American Advocate of Peace: They
dismissed $4,000 school children in
Boston the other day to the militia
parade. They should have paraded the
81 900 school children with their books
and states and turned loose the militia
to see them.

The INDIANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

THE INDIANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
This academy was organized in the
winter of 1888, with DIR. David S
Jordan as president and Amos w
Butler, of Brookville, as secretary.
The proceedings of the academy fol-
1893 make book of ga pages, and is
mainly q groundwork for a thorough
scientific survey of the state; it gives
the literature OF the plants, animals,
fossils, &C., of the state. 1t is the pur-
pose of the academy in the future to
discover and make available the at
present unused resources of the state Is
well as to add to the scientific knowl-
edge of mankind that which Indiana
can best furnish. The work has gone
forward so far at the expense of the
members and their friends We under
stand that they mean to press their
claims before the coming legislature for
public recognition. The object is
surely worthy one; sure to bring great
credit to the state and likely to add
greatly to its material wealth We
think it should be fully considered by
the legislature.

Of them is larger employment of labor,
answering better demand on the whole
for manufactured products. Much of
this is due to the unnatural de-
lay of orders for the winter,
which resulted from prolonged uncer

larger demand in the future. Prices of
