So quoth Punch merrily in the days
when scientific men had just begun to
say much of cells as the probable orr
gin OF life, the source of the great mys-
terry which those who are fond of puz-
zles have always at hand to speculate
upon. Guesses sprung out thick and
fast then andS new theories appeared
as rapidly as stenographers could take
them down and transcribe them for the
printer. Men were trying to find out
what stuff the human body or any other
body was made of; what was the diff
ference between-a live body and a dead
one They were giving much time to

Whist Is life? Since scientists cannot agree,
Suppose poor puzzled sciolist hazard

IT'S thing that begins in a cell with 'se,'
And ends in a sell with an IS.

Victoria, B. C.-Kan Yu Wei, the
Chinese reformer, who has been de-
posed and since pursued by the EN-
press Dowager, arrived here on the
steamer Idumi Maru from Yokohama.
He is on his way to London, where
he hopes to find harbor of refuge.
Kan Yu Wei, as chief missionary and
chief Of public works, was response
bic for the reforms initiated under the
old regime. When the Empress Dow
ager deposed him a price was put on
his head. He fed and got on the
British ship Ballarat Although pur-
sued by Chinese boats, he reached
Hong-Kong. Thence he fed to Toxic.
He is in mortal terror of his life, and
fearful of assassination, even at the
hands of his countrymen here.

obtained from the unclaimed bodies of
workhouse and hospital inmates. To
some extent this is true, for such
bodies, after use in the diSsecting-

claimed bodies is small compared with
the demand for skeletons, so that deal
