From the Philadelphia Times
 Prof. Joseph Le Conte contributes to Science an article under the above cap tion, which considers this oft-recurring question in the light of the most recent discoveries in the effects of temperature upon living matter He calls attention to the investigations which have resulted in showing that dormant life persists for years. perhaps centuries, in seeds, and that in desIcated infusoria active life may be revived under favorable condi- tions, as well as to the supposition that very slow metabolic changes go on through the state of dormancy-life being feeble, but not extinct. The same condi- tion being thought to be the case in seeds or bacteria exposed to the intense cold of --1S0 degrees to 200 degrees c. by Pictet or even to -250 degrees by Dewar.
 But" he says, "it is now proven that at this temperature chemical affinity is destroyed and all chemical changes ar rested, and, therefore, the chemicals changes characteristic of life-metabolism -also must cease. But with the return of heat they revive. Therefore. in this case life seems to spring spontaneously from dead matter. Must we then revive the old doctrine of spontaneous genera tion? If not. we must change or greatly modify our conceptions of life. From such experiments 1t Is evident that, al- though life is, indeed, a distinct form of energy, yet it's nearest alliance is with chemism. For as chemism is completely arrested by cold and again revived by heat-if the molecular structure charac- teristic of living protoplasm (whatever that may be) remains unchanged.
 This gives rise to the question. using

 Richard Henry Stoddard was born in Hingham, Mass. July 2, 1895 His fath- CT, sea captain. was wrecked and lost on one of his voyages. while Richard was child. and, in 1885. he boy went to New York with his mother, who had married again. In 1852 he began his liter ary work. Writing as a subsistence be- came such burden that he obtained a place In the custom house. He was lit- erary reviewer on the New York World from 1880 till 1870. He also edited The Aidine, an illustrated periodical, which discontinued
 There are gains for all our losses,
 There are baims for all our pain; But when youth, the dream, departs, 1t takes something from our heartA
 And it never comes again.
 We are stronger and are better
 Under manhood's sterner reign;
 Still we feel that something sweet
 Followed youth. with flying feet
 And will never come again.

 And we sigh for it in vain: We behold it everywhere. fv On the earth, and in the alS. |,

Two Minute Trotters.

A 2:40 nag was once the pride of horsemen, and there are men living ,who can remember the time when such speed had not been excelled. In those days trotting horses were pre- ferred to running horses on racing tracks, and much interest was taken in their speed. Flora Temple began about fifty years ago the clipping off of seconds in the trotting records, and today we lave a close approach to a two-minute trotter in Cresceus. The course of the records is shown in the following table:

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Some women are not red as they paint themselves.
 It's short lane that has no lovers in it after it turns into the shadows. There are two things a woman can not be tempted to betray-the man she loves and her age.
 If 1t weren't for their wives, some men would have breach of promise suits on their hands every week,
 Some married women never seem to think that men wouldn't be so anxious to fiirt with them If they didn't know there was no danger of their having to marry them.

Thuds and Shakes.
-otheiIo.

The esteemed Montgomery Adver- tiser's thud when 1t left the assistant Republican party and returned to the Democratic party is a theme widely discussed. and not few are wonder ing what the resound really was. A fellow-feeling in the Mobile Register makes it wondrous kind to the wander ing Advertiser. It says the historic event was in this wise-"the Demo- cratic party dropped back into the Ad- vertiser, and the party has been shak- ing itself into shape ever since."
 This remarkable view of remark able event seems beyond belief to the Mobile Item, for how, it says, can 6,5O0,000 voters drop into 130,000 voters at the most, or into the es- teemed Advertiser at the least and have room to shake themselves in? The Item advises the Register, the Advertiser and all other papers bear
 
 ing their record to flee to their old refuge in the Republican camp" be- fore real Democratic sentiment as- sumes the form of an avalanche.
 The truth Is, the Democratic party has never dropped into the Advertiser, and it has not therefore "been shaking itself into shape" in that esteemed office. It was the Advertiser that thudded into the Democratic party when it had become very lonely and had nowhere else to go. We still hold that the thuddest thud the world has ever known occurred when the Ad vertiser came back from it's ques after strange gods, even in its quas period, to the Democratic fold. The Advertiser was so stunned that 1t has not had time or energy to shake itself fully into shape, for it still attacks al every opportunity the standard-bearer of 1900 and the platform he stood on The puzzled Register admits as much when it says: Either the Advertiser is not in the party. or the party came back and got in with the Advertiser. ? The latter was physically impossible as the Mobile Item has demonstrated The Age-Herald is. however, open to conviction, but at present it is in clined to think the Advertiser thudded into the Democratic party unbid, un sought and in a sour and sullen frame of mind

IS PUBLIC CONSCIENCE sTIFLEp'

From the Cleveland Leader.
 The very men who join in with a posse to hang or burn human being are but applying a possible flrebrand to their own homes Throwing aside the humani- taran side of the question in such cases, the law is trampled upon, and the sacred right of every man to fair and impartial trial in court of justice is denied, and that often In most brutal manner. Is there a stifing of the public conscience, a growing disregard of the rights of oth- CTS? If so, what is the remedy? One thing is sure, the evasion or Ignoring of legal and moral responsibility seems to be more and more prevalent, and it Is just as cer- tain as that the sun will rise tomorrow that unless these conditions change, un- less there Is more regard for the divine as well as the human law as applied 10 the care and decent regard for the rights of others, the very foundation walls of the republic will totter and fall.

,arring accidents, Cresceus will be apt to hold the record several years, for he is a horse as remarkable for endurance as for speed. The table shows what can be done by careful breeding and careful selection, but there is limit to horses speed, and the first half of this century may pass without producing horse that can eclipse the two-minute trotter.

 As an instance of what men can do when urged by lust or gain. 1t stuns and sickens one As an instance of the mas tery of money, its power to compel, coerse and destroy the holy of holies of civillz- ation-the home-it terriies.

To the Editor of the e-Herald:
 The little barbecue that I gave compli- mentary to Governor Johnston during his visit to my home was as devoid of politics as an egg Is of meat It was entirely and absolutely a social function, and if the constitutional convention was mentioned l never heard of it. Neither did Governor Johnston in the privacy of my home ex- press an intention to oppose ratification. am opposed to ratification unless changes are made It is not too late to amend the suffrage article so as to make 1t acceptable to the people of every sec- tion of the state. The educational, prop erty, soldier and decendant qualification clauses should be stricken out. With the educational and property qualification stricken out, there Is no necessity for retaining the soldier and descendent clauses. Amend further by fixing a poll tax for the black belt counties at $5. Amend further by inserting a provision giving the Legislature power to prescribe other or different qualifications for the entire state or any part thereof. Thus amended the qualifications for registering and voting in the white counties would be good character and the payment of $1.5o poll tax and in the black counties good character and the payment of s poll tax. If other or additional qualifications should become necessary to disfranchise the negro in any section of the state, the Legislature would have power to supply them.
 If no change is made in the suffrage article and the grandfather" clause should be declared in conflict with the fifteenth amendment and strtckened out, we will have made constitution the effect of which In its operation will re- suit in the reverse of what was intended It enfranchises the negroes of the black belt, and disfranchises ex-Confederates and descendants that cannot read and write or the ownership of three hundred dollars worth of property.

Here we are asking the white counties to aid us in the disfranchisement of the negro, and expecting them to vote for pro- vision that. disfranchises themselves and place beyond their power to submit an amendment to change the representation if they desire. When the white counties aid us in the disfranchisement of the negro and the thing accomplished we should be willing to surrender a part of our representation. We cannot afford to adopt a policy that would estrange the white counties from us. The white peo- pie of the white counties is the reserve force that secures protection to the white people of the black counties in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, without which we wound have been a San Domingo long ago. I trust and hope that the white people of the black coun- ties will not be misled by few politi- clans who are strangers to patriotism and are incapable of rising above self
 It Is being talked and contemplated of counting the negroes of the black belt for ratification. Can we afford to force upon the white people of the white coun- ties a constitution that they do not want, with negro votes? If the white counties want the constitution ratified, why couns the negroes for 1t? It would be fragrant outrage to take the negroes and forco upon the white people a constitution that they do not want. It is not necessary for us to do this to get relief for ourselves; in fact. no constitution can solve this ne- gro problem, it will continue to bob up, and we must continue to call upon ths white counties for assistance; therefore the existing relations between the white and black counties should not be dis turbed. With the aid of the white coun- ties we can dsfranchise the negro with out affecting the white counties at all. It is not right to disfranchise white man in Marshall County in order to disfra:- chise negro in Montgomery County.
 If ratification is defeated we can at the next session of the Legislature submit an amendment for the black belt counties that will disfranchise the negroes and al- so submit an amendment giving the Leg islature power to fix a basis of represen-
