Washington, Aug. 28.-The war de

Pekin, and that the allied forces were
defeated
Several messages have been received
from Pekin, none of which mentioned
any threatening trouble, and az large
force Of Chinese could not have gotten
there without the allies learning of their
presence several days before the tack
was to be made. 1t is certain that Cen
~ Chaffee, late as Thursday night, had
no occssI II to believe that the Chinese
wSald assault in force, and If Pekin had
been retaken it must have been either
Saturday or Sunday.

The Models Hard Trial,

Miss Siddal had trying experience.
In order that the artist might get the
proper set of the garments in water
and the right atmosphere and aqueous
effects, she had to lie in Il large bath
filed with water, which was kept at
an even temperature by lamps placed
beneath. One day, just as the picture
was nearly finished. the lamps went
out unnoticed by the artist, who was
so intensely absorbed in his work that
he thought of nothing else, and the
poor lady was kept floating in the cold
water till she was nearly bcnumbcd.
She herself never complained of this,
but the result was that she contracted
a severe cold. and her father an auc-
tioneer at oxford, wrote to MillaiS.

damages for his carelessness. MillaS
paid the doctors bill, and Miss Sid
dal, quickly recovering, was none the

LIMITS OF SEED VITALITY.
No Truth In Stories of Termination
After Thousands of Years.

NO truth In stories OF Determination
After Thousands of Years.
"Thr statement is frequently made
in the popular press" said Professor
l.. III. Pammcl, government botaniSt,
that seeds have retained their vitality
for long time. Thus it is stated that
wheat under some conditions has pre-
served its vitality for 80 or 100 years.
1t has frequently been stated that
wheat taken from Egyptian monu-
mcnts gcrmiuatcd, but in not Il single
taSc is this termination authenticated.
Not single grain taken from an an
cient Egyptian sarcophaguS and Sown
by various persons has ever been
known to gcrminatc, and the condi-
tons for preserving the seed in these
Egyptian monuments are better than
In the soil. They are protected from the
air and variations of temperature. The
experiment which has been most talk
ed of is that of the Count of Stcrnbcrg
at Prague. He had received the grains
from trustworthy traveller. who told
him that they were taken from Il
sarcOphaguS. 1t is said that two Of
these seeds gcrminated. but it is a we'll
known fact that impOSturcs are per-
petrated by the people who dis. ose of
these seeds. In some cases they have
even stripped corn or maize into these
sarcophag.
"Many experiments have been made,
not only in this country. but in Europe,
to determine the vitality of various
grain seeds Thus barley retains its
vitality better than any other cereal,
and this is said to retain its vitality
from eight to ten years. In the case
of wheat 30 to 100 per cent gcrminatcs
In from one to four years; in five to
seven years. 50 to 81 per cent. In the
case of rye the percentage of germina-
ton in five years dropped to - per
cent; in seven years, SO per cent; nine
years, Is per cent. In the case of corn,
l made some experiments Il few years
ago to determine the vitality and found
that corn which was kept in tightly
closed vessels at the age of 20 years
had lost all its power of termination.
Experiments also indicate that corn
kept even Il few years became largely
deteriOrated and lost much of its pow
er of termination. Even grass seeds
which have been buried at some depth
in the soil and in vessels tightly sealed
failed to germinate after Il dozen or
10 years. s."-Chicago Chronicle.
