CRYSTALS HAVE LIFE.
Strange and Important Discovery
Made by Famous Neapolitan
Pathological Expert.

A scientific discovery recently has
been announced by DR.. Otto Won
Schroen, professor Of pathological an
atomy in Naples. which, if it can be fol-
lowed successfully, promises TO mark
an enormous advance in the attempts
TO find the source Of all life. His dis
covery is that all crystalline forms have
life originally. That means a bridg-
ing over of the gulf between mineral
and animal matter. DIR. Won Schroen
has found that living matter takes the
crystalline form, and while still living
and crystalline obeys many Of the laws
and manifests most of the properties
ofinorganc disqualification. Before this
discovery capitalization, as is known in
the diamond, rock crystal, rock sugar
and similar forms, was one OF the pro
found mysteries Of science.
The first living crystals were seen
by DR.. Won Schroen as long ago as 1886

FLOWER POT MAKING.
A Trade That Ia Thousands of Years
Old and Has Undergone but
Very Few Changes.

The potter's art or trade has re-
NAMED unchanged for nearly 5000
years. 1t is more an art than a trade,
for the degree of excellence and the
rapidity Of production depend more
upon skill than upon plodding labor.
For the manufacture Of ordinary
flower-pots, earthen clay, that burns
red, is used, while stone clay, coarser
material, that burns white, is en-
ployed for the manufacture of sewer
pipe and the like.
The clay is subjected TO refining
process by placing 1t In a cylinder In
which a shaft revolves with steel blades
attached. Horse power is the motor
used, the horse being harnessed TO a
projecting lever set into the shaft.
The clay is elected through shoot
at the bottom of the cylinder in soft
and loose condition, which renders 1t
easily formed into cubes Of about one
foot.
The clay having been thus formed is
ready for use, and il is stored in cellar,
or other convenient place, where it can
be kept soft and damp.
A wheel-head OF solid plank, is inches
in diameter, set upon a revolving shaft
worked by a treadle similar TO those
used by lapidaries, Is the only ma
chinery employed by the potter.
He has before him mass OF wet clay
of the necessary consistency, and with
one hand he slaps the quantity required
upon the swiftly revolving wheel. With
hands dripping with water, he deftly
and quickly mods il into shape.
A stick projecting over his wheel
guides him in making the pots of O
uniform size, and a thin strip of wood
technically called a rep, held in the
hand finishes the shaping process.
Nothing now remains but to pass q
fine wire under the pot TO separate il
from the wheel. The pots, when formed
are set aside and thoroughly dried, and
are then ready for the kiln.
Flower-pots range in size from tive
TO sixteen inches in diameter. The pots
are placed in the kiln in nests, one
within another, where they are al
lowed to remain from IS TO "a hours
If Ii is desired TO have them very hard
they are burned an hour or two longer
and the fire is kept at white heat.

CRYSTALS IN A NEW LIGHT.

1t was so incredible sight that at
first he could not believe il. They were
the crystals OF the baclili OF Asiatic
cholera, long, needle-like prisms. All
the bacilli thus far examined produce
distinct crystals of different forms.
The bacillus Subtilis, for instance, forms
bayonet rhombs; the bacillus teniae-
formis, hexagonal prisms. The crystals
Of tuberculosis are square rhombs; of
anthrax, elongated rhombs; any given
bacillus being Immediately identified
by it's crystal, which never varies in
the shape assumed in its original forma-
ton.
These objects are perfect crystals in
form. Yet they are alive; and their
life, their motion, their reproduction
are rs visible and undoubted as their
death, when IL ensues. is undoubted.
Their death occurs when all the liv-
ing matter which originally formed
part OF the crystal has eliminated itself.
On death they become ordip4ry mineral

ArtiaclnIIy Made Freaks.

NJ. Rabaud describes in the "Comptes
Rendus" a series OF experiments in
which hens eggs were placed for half
an hour i'm mixture of salt and ice, at
a temperature OF is degrees centigrade,
and then variously treated. Some were
placed Immediately in an incubator at
IS degrees centigrade and left for three
days. II was then found that though
most of them developed, few normal
forms occurred. One-third showed liv-
ing embryos much deformed or dead
embryos with primitive streak. 9th
ers showed blastoderms much extended
over the yolk, but without any trace OF
embryonic differentiation. The re-
suits show that temperature of Is de-
grees centigrade is not fatal, but a
lasting perturbation results, causing
proliferation of the cells, but without
differentiation.
