acquired habit of supplying the de-
ficiency by taking to all animal diet
and eating flies. Conjointed with
this is more highly developed sensi
tiveness and the power of what appears
to be voluntary motion, and faculty
of secreting a sort of gastric juice in
which the flies are digested. 1t is
possible, Of course, that this power Of
disintegrating animal tissue may be
partially due to micro organisms III
this curious gastric juice. But it
must be understood that the funda-
mental property possessed by veget-
able life of decomposing carbonic
dioxide and exhaling oxygen depends
on light stimulating peculiar chem
ical action of the chlorophyll and in
the dark, leaves breathe like lungs
exhaling not oxygen but carbonic
dioxide.
Interdependence.
The records of geology, imperfect as
they are, show combined progression
from the simple and neutral organisms
to higher and more differentiated
forms, both in the animal and veget-
able world. These records are i'm
perfect because the soft bodies of the
simpler and for the most part micro
scopic forms of protoplasm and cell
life are not capable of being preserved
in petrifcations and it is only when
they happen to have secreted shells or
skeletons, that we have a chance of
identifying them. Still, we have
sufficient number of remains in the
different geological strata to enable
us to trace development and it is GER
tain that there has been a complete
parallelism between the evolution of
animal and vegetable life from the
simplest to the most complex forms.
These facts point very strongly to
process of evolution by which the
animal and vegetable worlds, starting
from common origin in protoplasm,
the lowest and simplest form of living
matter, have gradually advanced step
by step, until we have at last arrived
at the sharp antithesis of the OK and
the oak tree. 1t is clear, however,
that this evolution has gone OH under
what I must call the generalized law
of polarity, by which contrasts are
produced of apparently opposite and
antagonistic qualities, which, how
ever, are Indispensable for each
others existence. Thus, animals
could not exist without plants to work
up the crude inorganic materials into
the complex and mobile molecules of
protoplasm, which are alone suited
for assimilation by the more delicate
and complex organization Of animal
life. Plants, OH the other hand, could
not exist without supply of the car

PEST HOUSE NEGLIGENCE.
Agent of County Commissioners Finds
Bad Condition of Affairs.

At the instlgation OF the board OF
county commissioners Sheriff Mayor
sent out Deputy Cummings Sunday to
investigate pest house conditions
From what the deputy sheriff reports,
the quarantine discipline OF the small
pox hospital seems to be culpably lax.
Mr.. Cummings information Is mostly
derived from Ben Harris, former dep
uty who lives on the hill just north OF
the pest house. A boy who was herding
cattle in the neighborhood OF the pest
house, when asked II he ever saw any
OF the patients outside OF the hospital
precincts said that he had often seen
people from the hospital walking down
the railroad track below the peniten-
tiary.
AS late as Saturday Ben Harris says
that he met two patients wandering a
mile and a half away from the hospital.
and he told them 10 keep away from
his place. He asserts that they fire.
quently go UP the hill to the north OF
his house. He also says that he has
frequently seen people come from town
and go TO the pest house, although he
has never seen any OF them enter IL.
The patients, however. he says. are al
lowed to come out and talk 10 visitors
When he first saw this Mr.. Harris SAYS
ne wac 80 amazed that he started 10
Keep record OF such cases. but thew
got to be so frequent that he lost count
Then again, he says. the patients are

The worst breaking OF the quarantine
rules that | have observed" said Mrs
Harris. was that of woman who
some time ago left the pest house and
came down the road 10 catch A street
car. The car not being at the station
she called at Mrs. Wheeler's honse
near the pen, hut was refused admit
lance. Then slle called at Mrs. win
Murphy's. where there are four or tlve
young children In the family. and actu.
ally went In and stayed there till her
car arrived Then she got on the chr
and rode down town"
Mr.. Harris also talked OF two cir,
patients who were decidedly what he
terms unladylike. and tried 10 ston

we're out on the road that runs To Mil
Creek
II is also said that the dairyman who

.LENTEN DAYS
DISCUSSED.
Subject Considered at Meeting Of
Salt Lake Ministers Today
TERMINATES WITH EASTER
Rev. simpkins DscIains Against Six
Weeks Of seIf-Denisl ana Foriy-six
OF wantoDnessa and wrong Living.

The Salt Lake Ministerial association
met in the Y. NJ G., A. parlors this
morning and an interesting paper was
read by the Rev. 7. A. Smpkins, pas
tor OF the Phillips Congregational
church.
After discussing the origin Of the
special observance Of certain days and
seasons he observed that most OF such
were probably the outcome and fruit
age Of superstition and ldolatry OF
heart of early believers in the church.
There is in them stil,' said Rev.
Slmpkins, the seed Of Journalism and
careful guarding Is needed and un-
wearied watching lest the tendencies Of
formal ceremony bear their fruit In
dead works" In the observance OF
these days Of self-denlal, in the spirit
as well as the letter, there is deepen
ing force for the eternal things within
u.s." Continuing the doctor said. Il do
not wish to be understood as endorsing
the present practice or spirit of the
Lenten season, as we Sud them. [ do
not believe in six weeks Of self-denial
and forty-si1 weeks Of wantonness
and naughtiness Of the flesh. Denounced
merciessy that faddish and shallow
abstenance society affects as a part of
its religious expression, but which is
really nothing more than resting sea-
son necessary for women coming
tagged out from winter excuses in So
clety. The observance Of the Lenten
season can be good and helpful only
when observed In sincerity and truth"
Church going is no safe criterion of
character. IT no more makes a man
part of the kingdom than abstraction
therefrom debars from that privilege
Yet II Ii not a matter Of Indifference
whether or not one attends church
That man is an exception who can
maintain healthful life apart from
participation IN church life by waiting
on God in the service OF Ills house"
The only reason the ROmish and Epis-
copalian churches are so strong is that
they insist upon attendance at church
as an essential means 10 a noble end
Let us exalt this virtue and by the
proper observance OF the Lenten season
bring ourselves nearer God"
This week Is holy week. and under
the direction Of the Eriscopallan church
20-minute prayer service for business
men will be held at noon each day in
TIE Y. M. G. A. parlors Dean Eddie
addressed those present today. and will
