T'he Strange Discovery of Prof. VI
senroen, of Naples.

!
senroen, of Naples.
The hills and mountains are not dead
masses.
They arc filled with life. Their rocks
and powders hide III their bosoms
stern contentious between countless
numbers-strife TO the DEATH
In a word, there is life in crystals.
Hence there is life in the inorganic
world.
This discovery has been made by
Prof. Won Schroen, one of the medical
faculty of the Naples university, in
Italy. Herbert Spencer has investi-
gated the theory and pronounces it
genuine. He has scarcely dared to
predict the tremendous results which
1t will produce.
DR.. Won Hoist, head instructor in his
tory at the University of Chicago, has.
through layman's eyes, seen the won
derful discovery and gives the facts 10
the world.
This new truth will reYolutionize
philosophy. 1t strikes right to the core
of nature. The discovery of the germ
WAS a grand stride in the medical
world. This will be an advance thou
sand times greater. Its influence will
extend to every branch of science. It
forms a new theory. II brings up the
question whether the world, after all.
is not more organic than inorganic.
1t presses close to the base of all
creation.
One of its first practical results will
probably be found in hygiene. One
crystal destroys another it is shown
This alone will be a powerful factor in
the fight against disease. AS the news
OF the discovery spreads, sayants will
spring up and apply this new basis of
thought to their particular branches.
DIR. Won Hoist will soon publish the
rews far and wide. He wishes to raise
100000 for Prof Ven Schroen, that he
can present the discovery in every pos
sible phase to learned men in all quar-
tiers of the globe
Prof. Won Schroen is a Bavarian by
birth He is 60 years of age and has
spent half his life and nearly his entire
fortune in working out his theory.
The savant made his discovery by
bringing the strongest magnifying
glasses to bear upon crystals. lie
watched their development. He photo-
graphed the results. He has thousands
of these views taken from IA different
kinds of crystals.
The views show the crystal in its
birth, the head showing forth from the
mother crystal and the course is fol-
lowed us it pushed out and away. Thee
in the language of enthusiasm DR.. Won
Hoist said:
THE crystal meets another - one
from Il different mother. The two
strike at each other, they fight, strive
and clash with each other. 1t is war
to the death. 1t is case of the sur
viva of the fittest. One must diel No
two crystals from the same mother ever
fight, however, no matter where they
meet"
All this, the life, the development and
the contention is set forth in the views,
so all can be convinced who see them.
81 am historian, not a scientist"
said DR.. Won Hoist, $50 | saw all this.
but as a layman. There is no room for
doubt, however. Spencer and Others
have studied my friends views. They
cannot be mistaken"
DR.. Won Hoist met Prof. Won Schroen
while travelling in Italy recently and re-
ceived treatment at his hands.
"The sum of $500,o0 is not too large"
he said; at is costly and laborious
work to bring out these microscopic
views. We want thousands made. We
want them distributed through ths
world. so all may profit by this discov-
