LOWER FORMS OF life NEVER DIE
Strange Results From Professor Weis.
mann's Investigut ion of Death.

htrange Results From Professor Wcis-
mnnn's Investigation of Death.
Tho Investigations of Professor Weis-
mann have done moro To solve the prob
lem, "how death came into thc world >"
than those of any other living man. 1t is
generally assumed that death is associated
with all forms of life, but this is not real
ly the case.
Tho lower forms of life, for example
may be said to have II perpetual existence
and not TO be subject to death, for in uni
cellular reproduction life is practically end
less In the case of higher forms Of life
death is universal, and for n very natural
reason The ain, of nature is the pcrpct
uation of the species, not of the indivdu-
al, and when creatures have, as in tho case
of certain insects, reproduced themselves
once for oil, they have no further need Of
existence.
Creatures thnt nurse their young, like
mammals, and produce thom slowly have
need of longer life, or the species would
quickly be exterminated, but there is no
reason why the individual, having per-
formed It's duty In relation to tho species,
should continue to exist, since its exist
ence then becomes n superfluity Between
muiticellular and unicellular existence,
There is therefore the marked difference
that whereas tho former dies when it has
reproduced itself and so pcrpetuated its
species the latter goes on pcrpetually re-
producing itself, ono cell growing out of
another without cessation.
10 Weismann we owe the knowledge of
how it is that death intervcncs when null
ticellular existence develops from uniccl-
Iular. The change is effected by the diff
fercntiation of the individual-or somatic
and tho reproductive coils. The former
have lost tho power of multiplication and
reproduction and consequently died, while
tho latter have preserved it.-Ncwcast!o

GENERAL cAss, CANOE VOYAGE.
an Old Time Newspaper Gives an Account
ofHIS Journey West.

A copy Of the Geneva Gazette of Oct. 3,
1891, has some points which may interest
my readers. Tho entire sheet is about tho
size of ono page of an ordinary paper, and
1t was published weekly by Joseph Bogart
Mt So. so u year. Seven columns arc dcvot-
ed To the constitutional convention then
in session in Albany, the leading man be-
ing Martin Van Buren,. A number of
merchants advertise their goods, and I
noted that iron Is 2 cents pound and
nails 10 cents. "Sweeny's luck Office"
advcrtiscs lottery tickets, tho lowest prize
being SIG, whilo tho highest Is $50, 600.
Philip Church offers land for sale in Nun
da and Angelica, and payment can DO
made in farm produce.
The most remarkable thing, however,
In tho ancient sheet is the way in which
General Cass went to Chicago to hold u
treaty with tho Indians, and this believe
to be the most wonderful canoe voyage in
American history. Let tho reader trace
on tho map tho following route from To-
ledo to Chicago, which is thus given in
tho Geneva Gazette: "Genoral Cass on his
route to Chicago assembled tho Maumee to
Fort Wayne, from thence his canoo was
carried over u portage of about nine miles
to the head OF the Wabash. This river ho
descended to the Ohio and then descended
the Ohio to tho Mississippi Tho latter
he assembled to the mouth Of the Illinois,
ono of whose tributaries approaches with
In 10 miles of Chicago"
The reader will see that in order to avoid
land journey of 800 miles through q
Wilderness circuitous course Of five times
that distance was endured. In this man
nor the government agent reached Chi
cage, where ho held council with tho In
dians. The direct journey can now be
made in as many hours as it then took
weeks, and during tho extraordinary ca
nooing the party probably lived on fish
and game. Tho route took them past ST.
Louis, and yet this was then tho easiest
and safest way Of reaching the destination
The following local items from The Ga
zettc are also of intorsest: 1.-Two persons
were apprchendod tho 10Th within the vii
lago of Rochester for attempting to pass
counterfeit money. Seven state prison
convicts were ut work on the aqueduct in
the samo village and escaped from their
barracks Thursday night and have not
since been heard Of" How much this old
copy Of the Geneva Gazette suggests the
progress accomplished since its public,,-
ton, and if General Cass had kept diary
of that journey it would be one of the
most interesting things of the kind in our
history.-Ncw York Letter in Rochester
Democrat.

a Queer Mexican Plant.

In Mexico there is plant known by
the name of Palo dc Leche. 1t belongs
to tho family of euphorbia. The In
dams throw the leaves into tho water,
and the fish become stupcticd and rise
to the surface and arc then caught by
the natives. In this case the effect of
the narcotic soon passes off. The milk
of this plant thrown upon the fire gives
out fumes that produce nausea and head
ache. The milk taken internally is n
deadly poison. 1t will produce death or
insanity, according to the size of tho
dose. There is popular belief among
tho lower class i'll Mexico that the in
sanity of the cx-Empress Carlotta was
caused by this poison. San Jose (Cal.)
