THE LIMITS OF LIFE.
Philadelphia Press.]

Philadelphia Press.]
None of the crystal enthusiasts who pc
riodically describe the molecular move
ments in crystal formation as indicating
the first steps toward what is known as the
vital force in the living cell Of the plant OF
animal world has been heard from fol
some time. They do not usually keep
quite so long, 60 perhaps new discovery
is about due. In the meantime, however,
certain experiments that have been made
with bacteria, which represent the lowest
form of life in the plant world, throw an
interesting light on the physical limits
which allow the germs to maintain vitality.
The interesting fact has been brought out
that while, as all know, heat is fatal to
germ life, extreme cold is not, and, by in
ference, germ life might persist in the cold
of interplanetary space.

THE GREATEST FLAG.
Death of the Girl Who Made the Largest
American Flag.

At Madison, New Jersey, there died O
few days ago, Miss Josephine Milford, the
young woman who became widely known
by her work in making the largest Ameri'
can flag ever flung TO the breeze.
Two years was spent in this gigantic
labor of patriotism and the countless
thousand stitches were made by this brave
girl alone. Some idea of the task may be
cleaned by the following figures, showing
the dimensions of this great banner Of
Freedoms land. Length, 100 feet; width,
SO feet; each star, 2 feet 8 inches across;
width of stripes, five feet. An interesting
point was that each star was made at some
place of historic interest, such as Indepen'
dence Hall, Valley Forge, Morristown, N.
j., and Fort McHenry.
While Miss milford lived to splendidly
finish her task, pathetic incident which
brought her life to a sad close was her ina
bility to fully accomplish her plan of free
ing from its mortgage her family home
stead. Owing to her fathers failure and
subsequent death, the maintenance Of the
family was thrust upon her shoulders, and
she had hoped to raise enough by subscrip-
tons to the great flag to free them all from
the threatened loss of their home. The
strain proved too great when the task was
only partly completed-about So 900 being
raised-and she gave up her young life just
as the final crash came.
