WHAT IS LIFE?
A Discovery by Prof. Gates, Of
Washington, Which Answers
the Question,
an Interesting SubJec,

what is life" This question has
been aske1 during all ages, but 1t mas
never until now been successfully an
svered Professor Elmer Gates of
Washington, who has been making
great experiments with the microscope,
has made virtually, a double miCros-
cone; in other words, he brings the
image Of the first microscope on the
lcrs, which picture on the lens is en-
larged by the second microscope so
that many things which 1t is impossible
to sec with an ordinary microscope are
revealed. In ths way he is able to
see the smallest cells of the body In
an exceedingly large form. He says:
cut a piece of protoplasm into num-
ber of pieces and each piece will still
he alive" thus proving that the germs
of life exist in even the minutest par
ticle of the body.
1'ut he goes farther and says that he
believes mind is life, and that mind is
present in every particle of the body.
This is a new a startling n wonderful
theory and il may lead to a revolution
on the subjects of disease, health and Of
happiness. 1t explains clearly one
thing and that is, why the mind is fire.
quently affected when the body Is dis
ordered, and It brings home the ques-
tOn of health or disease very fOrCibly.
1t becomes plain that in order to
have a clear head and a strong mind,
one must have q body that is in perfect
condition. When the body is deranged
the mind cannot work rightly. With

successfully taken by using some great.
modern discovery that Is certain to
put the cell tissues in perfect shape.
Thcrc is such discovery and it is do
ing more to counteraCt pain and estah-
tablish health than anything known to
modern times. In speaking of it Dr.
William Edward Robson, of London,
says: II emphatically state that / have
been able tn Civ" more relief and effect

Cure than by all tn medicines in the
British DhlrnacOpOAia." DR.. r. A.
C;unr dean of the United States Medi-
cal College, saws: Il prescribe and use
Warmers Safe Cure in both acute and
chronic Hright's disease and commend
it most frankly"
Such statements should convince any
man or woman that there is no need
OF farther suffering if d prompt use is
made of the remedy that is commended
so highly.

From the Sanitarlan.

From the Sanitaran.
The River Tees, seventy miles !oug. in
the northern part of England. runs
through towns with plenty of oppOr-
tunity for contamination. There are
hundreds Of outhOuses discharging into
the river underneath, and during dry
weather there is quite an accumulation
of ii running down through a number
of towns About 2S0,000 people drink
that water at the different stations all
the way down, while about the same
population do not, being situated
(thOueh i'm the same sanitary district
so as to take their water supply from
other sourCes-making a pretty good
chance for comparison. The Tees is
subject TO sudden floods and during a
food, preceded by a heavy rain, that
material is all washed down stream
and goes into the intakes below. Every
heavy rain produces typhoid fever-a
marked increase in the rate-among
the Tees water drinkers, while their
fellow w-townspeople, drinking from
other supplies, have no typhoid fever
increase amounting to anything
You say: How did our sorefathers
get along without these sanitary ar
rangeme ents?" chart of the death
rate of London from the beginning of
the seventeenth century to date shows,
among other things, that from 1860 to
1879 the death rate was so; in 1888 it
was IS.
There is an intake for the Schenec-
tady water supply from the upper Hud-
SON. above the junction with the Mo-
hawk; West Troy takes Mohawk water;
Lansingburg takes its supply from the
hills; Troy takes Hudson water above
the Mohawk; Albany, right on a hill,
cuts a hole in its wharf, and gets not
only upstream sewage, but it's own.
Typhoid fever broke out and started
down the Mohawk. Every town that
took Mohawk water or Hudson river
water after the Mohawk had Joined
1t had typhoid; but every town which
took Hudson river water above the
junction Of the Mohawk or got its
water from other entirely different
sources had no typhoid.

the drawing OF razor across her

1t been in the day time or in lighted

A HERMIT IN 4 BIG CITY.
At the Death of Each Relative an
Apartment is Sealed Up.

Paris Correspondence of the London Telc-
graph.
Various indeed are the ways in which
eccentric people indulge their little
pecularities, but a decidedly original
manner has been adopted by an old
lady living here. On one of the grand
boulavaIds stands a house with closed
shutters and fastened door. Scarcely a
sign Of life Is there about the place,
and the house has remained in a sim
liar state over quarter Of century.
Tie owner is an old lady, who. on
September A. 1870, the day ON which
tie republic was proclaimed, resOlutely
determined that no one affected by
Republican ideas should ever cross the
threshold of her dwelling. To avoid any
such dreadful contingency she simply
declined to allow anyone inside, and
mas refused all offers to hire either
apartments or the shop below. The
only time she breaks through her hard
and fast rule is when workmen are
permitted to enter in order to carry
Cut repairs. Painters, carpenters,
lucksniths and masons once a year
in turn invade her privacy and make
good any damage. To relatives whose
political tendencies are the same as her
own she is particularly gracious, but
at the death of each one an apartment
i'm the building is sealed up, and now
all are closed barring the very small
one at the back Of the house, which
the anti Republican hermit reserves
for her own use and that of her three
servants. This strange behavior on the
part of an old lady has repeatedly eX-
cited comment, and numerous have
tecn the attempts of people to gain an
entrance by some ruse or other All
their efforts are foiled by an aged SER
want, who guards the front door with
dragon-like vigilance, and the would
be intruder soon finds the portal slam
med in his face and himself none the
wiser for his curiosity.

It pleased them greatly for a day,
