NATURE or LIFE.

A Talk ON the Intersection Of the Constit.
ucnts Of Protoplasm.
Herbert Spencer's definition of the
nature of life implies, as is well known,
. continuous adjustment of internal TO
external relations, says the London
Lancet. In other words, vitality is pre-.
served by ~interactions going IN between
the constituents of the protoplasm. On
the face of it this view must be very
materially modified in the light Of some
exceedingly interesting experiments re
Gently brought to the notice Of the
Royal society by Horace Brown, whose
classic researches ON that interesting
class of fsrments the engines are well
known. He has found that by submit
ting seeds to the very low temperature
of ~evaporating liquid air. e., from
-183 degrees @. to 1872 degrees C.--for
ITO consecutive hours their power of
terminating is not in any way impair
ed. Since the above temperature is con-
siderably below that at which ordinary
chemical reactions take place, the re-
suit is very remarkable and would APP

complete chemical inertness in proto-
plasm may be- established it does not
necessarily lead to a destruction of it's
potential activity.
Is this protoplasm thus brought to a
''resting" condition to burst into activi-
ty on restoring favorable conditions? If
so, what becomes of life during this
"rest?" These observations are also Of
interest in connection with the sugges-
ton of Lord Kelvin that the origin of
life as we know it may have been extra
terrestrial and due 10 the ''moss grown
fragments from the ruins Of another
world" which reached the earth as
meteorites. That such fragments might
circulate In the intense cold space for q
perfectly indefinite period without pref
udice to their freight of seeds or spores
is, Horace Brown remarks, almost cer-
tain from the facts we know about the
maintenance Of life by resting" pro-
toplasm. The difficulties IN the way Of
accepting such a hypothesis certainly
do not lie in this direction. Here is an
interesting problem for biologists, and
the development of the question will be
followed with the keenest interest.

THE CAR WAS SWITCHING.

but It Caused the Despair of . Sleepy
Lecturer In Search of Rest.
81 have long made it a practice to
sleep whenever l get an opportunity"
said a man who lectures. "but a recent
experience in Baltimore has made me
shy of opportunities. You see, ! spend a
great deal of time on railroad trains,
and frequently, in order to keep engage
ments, / am forced to travel at night.
Now. l have great difficulty in getting
asleep ON q sleeping car, and sometimes
/ toss around all night.
Last week / lectured in Baltimore,
and after the lecture 1 found a sleeping
car in the railroad yard which was to
be added to the train bound for New
York. That was my opportunity. ]
bought a section, hunted up the porter
and asked him If / might retire with
the expectation of not being aroused be-
fore morning.
"'That's what the car Is here for,
colonel. he answered. We don't pull
out till $50 in the morning, and you
can just go right to sleep
"Tbat sounded inviting, and l retir-
ed. / fell asleep promptly. The move
ment of the car aroused me- AID, think
ing that we had been coupled ON to the
New York train, ! closed my eyes again.
At that moment the car ran into some
thing ON the track with a crash and
stopped so suddenly that my head was
bumped against the end of the berth.
Undoubtedly a smash up, / thought, and
! proceeded to get u of my berth. The
porter was sitting in the seat opposite.
"'For heavens sake, what is the
trouble?' I asked.
"'Nothin. he replied; Just switch

Back / crawled, feeling very cheap.
Again / felt drowsy, and once more the
car was bumped violently, then showed
along the tracks at a rapid rate and
shunted into the end of another train,
starting q series of crashes that sounded
one after another clear away up the
track. The quiet that followed lasted SO
long that / began to done. Another
bump harder than the previous ones
aroused me, and for the next five min

engaged ia sbunting my car back and
forth for the fun of it. I wosld feel the
car slide along only to come to an abrupt
stop with a lot of noise. Then il would
slide back to another track and stand
still. For the next hour / was tossed
and bruised in my berth, and / could
stand it no longer. / crawled out and
dressed as best i could under the cir
cumstances, made a flying jump from
the car On one of its shunting trips past
the station and went to a hotel and
spent the night. The memory Of that
experience has made me cautious about
entering sleeping cars that are l%oafing
around the yard waiting to be coupled
to a train, even if it does seem to offer
an opportunity to make up sleep. The
amount of shaking up that n man re-
ceives In q car that is Just switchin' is
surprising. New York Sun.

In Cream.

The question is to ascertain the mon
ey value of cream when the weight,
test and price per pound of butter fat
are given. To those of us whose early
training made us familiar with prob
LENS in percentage this is not a difficult
matter, but there are not a few men of
ms-s than average general information
who are quite apt to stumble when they
attempt to deal with decimals.
We will work ont a couple of prob
lens below to show as best we can the
method of making the computation.
For instance, what will be the value of
408 pounds of cream which tests 30. z
per cent fat at 90 cents per pound of
butter fat?
When we say that cream tests 90. 7
per cent fat or milk 40 per cent, the
words per cent mean that they are the
given number Of pounds of fat in eacL.
100 pounds of the cream o. milk, as the
case may be. Therefore to obtain the
total fat in the whole quantity we null
tipiy the amount by the rate per cent
and divide by 100 or remove the deci-
NAL point two places to the left. Thus

Swiss depend for both meat and milk,
although it is precious little beef the
agriculturist of Europe has to eat from
one years end to another.
The Swiss cows are perhaps the gen.
tlest and most intelligent in the world,
owing to the care and kindness with
which they are treated. They are nat
urally nearly as large as an Aberdeen
Angus. The Swiss-Jersey crossbred In
the picture weighs about 200 pounds.
She gives an average of 40 pounds of
milk a day when in full flow, which il
equal to the Jersey record. The milk.
however, is not quite SO rich as that OF
a first class pure bred Jersey. The ad-
vantage Of the Swiss cross is that IL
gives hardness to the alleged delicate
Jersey constitution.
