Moments Clubs.

The American Club Woman is Pc |
riodical published at Milton, Wis, in
the interest Of women's clubs The
mum Der of Feb. 10th 1899 deals ex
haustiyely with the proceedings of the
second annual Convention of the Wis
consin State Federation of Women's
Clubs held at La Crosse in November
last.
Ninety-nine clubs are represented
in'this federation with an aggregate
mem bership Of about 5000, some single
clubs consisting of more than 2G0 in
dividuals.
While each local club seems to de-
termine for itself the scope and end of
its utilities there is general uniform
ity of purpose among them asa confed-
Grated aggregate. Some of them as
sumo broader aims and larger fields
of endeayor than others, but in the
main they pursue the intention that
contemplates the promotion of useful
and agreeable relations among women
with a literary, scientific, educational
and philanthropic culture. The study
of history, with the biography Of the
individuals who were most intimately
involved in the current events, seems
TO have been the trend of many, while
investigations into the conduct of
public schools with the object Of secur-
ing any needed Improvements, seems
| to have been an economic feature OF
others. The subject of public libra
ries, childstudy, musical culture, and
many others that intimately concern
the welfare Of the community were
discussed in many clubs and action
taken to advance the interests of the
people.
These clubs, in which women as
sociate TO cultivate comradeship
among themselves, labor for theil
own improyem ent and that of those
whom they may influence in a com
munity, are among the most elevat.

The Effort to Create Life.

The news that Wuiler had obtained,
in 1928, out of inorganic stuffs a GER
tain substance, urea, which occurs in
nature as a distinct product of vital &C
tivity in animals, upset current ideas.
Then, later on, Liebig in Germany and
Frankland in this country made several
important syntheses, and III 1860 Ber-
thelot published his epoch making
work, "Organic Chemistry Based Upon
Synthesis, in which he proved that
the synthesis of organic bodies must be
pursued and may he achieved in a
quite systematic way, going step by
step over the whole series Of organic
compounds.
At the present time about $50 differ
ent acids, aromatic oils, fats, cOloring
matters, and so ON, which are only
found in nature as products of vital
activity, have already been prepared in
orr laboratories out of inorganic mat
ter. Some of them are already fabri-
Gated in this way for trade. Every year
brings some new achievement in the
same direction; so that the main inter
est now lies, not so much in adding Il
new product to the already long list of
chemically prepared organic substances,
as in catching the secrets of the tiny
living laboratories in the vegetable and
animal cells. Prince krapotkin in
