The ORIGIN OF the Cell.

Gradually the researches of such
accurate observers as Unger. Nageli,
Kolliker, Reichart and Remak tend
ed to confirm the opinion of Won
Mohl that cells spring only from
cells, and 9pally Rudolf Virchow
brought the matter to demon
stration about 1860. His "omnis
cellula cellula" became from that
time one of the accepted data of
physiology. This was supplement-
ed a little later by Fleming's "om-
mis- nucleus nucleo," when still
more refined methods of observation
had shown that the part of the cell
which always first undergoes change
preparatory to new cell formation
is the all essential nucleus Thus
the nucleus was restored to the i'm
portant position which Schwann and
Schleiden had given it, but with
greatly altered significance.
Instead of being structure gen.
Grated de novO from noncellular
substance and disappearing as soon
as its function of cell formation was
accomplished, the nucleus was now
known as the central and permanent
feature of every cell, indestructihe
while the cell lives; itself the divi-
sion product of pre-existing nu-
cleus, and the parent, by division of
its substance, neutrality-suspicious. of
nuclei. The word cell received a
final definition is "a small mass of
protoplasm supplied with a nu-
cleus. Henry Smith Williams, Nj.

The TrapdOOr Spider.

One of the most singular speci-
mems of insect life is the tPapdoor
SPIDER of Jamaica. His burFow is
lined with silk and closed by a trap
door with hinge. The door exact
ly fits the entrance TO the burrow
and when closed so precisely CORE
spends with the surrounding earth
that it can hardly be distinguished
even when it's position is known. 1t
is strange sight to see the earth
open, little lid raised, some hairy
legs protrn(te and gradually the
whole form of the SPIDER show it
self. These spiders generally hunt
for food by night, and in the day
time they are very ohary of opening
the door of their domicile, and if
the trap DO raised from the outside,
they run to the spot, hitch the claws
of their borefeet in the lining of the
burrow and 30 resist with all their
might. The strength of the spider
is wonderfully great in proportion
to its SIZE
